The Best Start Pages on the Web
Start pages (formerly known as personal portals) offer far more utility than they're given credit for. With them you can aggregate your e-mail inbox, news feeds, weather reports, investment portfolios, TV listings, movie schedules, and more into one organized, pleasant presentation. The four we reviewed are the best ways to start your Web day.

A Multi-talented MOTO Q
Motorola continues to refine its Q formula and packs in plenty of value, power, and flexibility--not to mention good voice quality. The MOTO Q9c is one of the least expensive ways to get a cutting-edge smartphone on Sprint. Read our full review.

Cowon's Fantastic Video Player
The Cowon A3 is a portable media player that performs plenty of neat tricks, including video recording. It also has a big, bright screen, and its navigation feels similar to that of an Archos device, but more evolved. Check out our in-depth review for more.

Fujitsu's Airy Ultraportable
One of the hallmarks of Fujitsu ultraportables is the impressive combination of outstanding battery life and a dual-layer DVD burner in an under-3-pound package. The same can be said of the Lifebook P8010, but unfortunately its low-voltage processor and cramped keyboard will likely keep this ultralight laptop from being a true star. Visit PCMag.com for the hands-on review.

Pentax Unveils Small New Shooter
Pentax recently announced a new compact shooter called the Optio V20. It's an 8-megapixel camera that features a large 3-inch screen for framing your shots, along with a few notable skills. More details in our report.

Gearlog: Toshiba Dynabook Claims World's First 120GB SSD

The super-skinny notebook also boasts an internal optical drive, a 1.2-GHz Core 2 Duo processor, a 12.1-inch, 1280-by-800 pixel screen, and an extremely impressive 12.5 hours of battery life. Get price and availability info on Gearlog.com.

GoodCleanTech: The First Bio-Recyclable USB Drive
