The Best Mobile Media Phones
When it comes to multimedia-ready phones, we have great expectations. We want handsets that will not only play music and video, but will also work with the multimedia we already own and integrate seamlessly with live subscription services. This is a tall order, but our favorite phones fill it with ease. Check out our top picks on PCMag.com.

Oversize Olympus D-SLR Doesn't Disappoint
The Olympus E-3 is a fine midrange D-SLR that's a less-expensive alternative to competing models. This shooter features mechanical image stabilization, fast auto focus, and fantastic image quality. Get the picture in our hands-on review.

A Connected GPS Device
The Dash Express is the first consumer GPS that incorporates cellular technology to keep connected to the Web. Impressive features such as Yahoo! LiveSearch, over-the-air software and map updates, and community-based live traffic information provide a glimpse of the future of GPS. But for now, you can get a more full-featured device for less money. Take a closer look in our full review.
