Lean, Green Biz Machines
It's nice to save energy at home where you can, but consumption can really start to get out of hand in an office--a place with multiple PCs, printers, fax machines, copiers and more. Not only can these energy-efficient desktop PCs save power, they can help your business's bottom line, too. Go to PCMag.com for the full reviews.

Ways to Make Your Smartphone Smarter
There's no such thing as a perfect smartphone. Each mobile platform comes with its own set of shortcomings; what you need are easy ways to work around them. Here, we break down the follies of all the major mobile platforms--including the iPhone--and offer simple solutions to circumvent each. Get started on PCMag.com.

The Latest and Greatest BlackBerry Pearl
The Pearl's latest offering dabbles a little bit in everything a smartphone should: great e-mail, clear voice quality, Wi-Fi, and a sleek body. Mostly, though, the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 for T-Mobile is an excellent choice for people who want to try unlimited Wi-Fi calling using the carrier's Hotspot@Home system. Check out the full review on PCMag.com for more details.

A Faster, Better Windows Server OS
Microsoft's new Windows Server 2008 Enterprise operating system is a step up from its predecessor. It's faster and stuffed with must-have features for Windows networks. But with the company's big push toward 64-bit operation and new SMB versions on the way, some customers may want to hold off. Read our full review to decide for yourself.

Staying in Sync
Got a lot of balls in the air? Juggling calendars, contacts, and all our day-to-day business can often seem like a tall order--especially when you've got to coordinate information from more than one source. New technologies, such as Phoenix's HyperSpace, Microsoft's Live Mesh, and more, will help users synchronize their entire digital lives. Learn more in Tim Bajarin's column.

Security Watch: Automatic Distribution of Windows Vista SP1 Begins
