HP's Attractive, Affordable UMPC
The HP 2133 Mini-Note PC is a gorgeous mini laptop that's fit for the road and skies. It sports an attractive, 3-pound design, has features similar to the ASUS Eee PC, and can accommodate a variety of operating systems. Even more compelling, though, is that this miniature device can be used by kindergarteners or top-level executives alike. But does its price tag appeal to everyone, too? Turn to our review to find out.
Business BlackBerry Makes Free Wi-Fi Calls
Corporate users now have an updated 8800-series BlackBerry with built-in GPS and T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling ability. The BlackBerry 8820 also features a 320-by-240-pixel resolution display and includes an ambient light sensor. But how did it score on our test calls? Visit PCMag.com for the full review.
Networked Storage for All
NAS (network attached storage) devices continue to be hot tickets, and we can definitely see the competition for home-oriented NAS boxes becoming more refined. Whether you're looking for a small device to store your home media on or a heavy-duty beast that can meet your growing business' needs, there's a NAS box for you. We lay it all out in our buying guide.
Short Throw, Huge Image
Conference room a little cramped? Never fear: The Hitachi CP-A100 projector throws a 98-inch image from an impressive 15 inches away. Even more, this small and stylish business projector proved its versatility when we put it through its paces. Find out just what it can do in our full review.
Powerful, Free Security
Avast! antivirus 4.8 Home Edition's virus protection isn't far behind that of the top antivirus products available for sale. It removes spyware nearly as well as the leading antispyware, and its resident protection against new infestation is excellent. This is some seriously impressive protection, considering that it's free for personal use. Read the full review for more.

Security Watch: Apple Adds Defensive Tactics to QuickTime

QuickTime now supports ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization), stack checking and hardware NX support (only on Windows Vista). What does that mean for you? Check out the Security Watch blog to find out.
Plus: Calendar Spam
Spammers are now using the calendar features of Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook to assist their efforts.
