Review Roundup: GPS Gadgets for Geotagging
Picture it: You're on a once-in-a-lifetime trip, running from picturesque locale to picturesque locale, snapping photos all along the way. Then you get home, with a landslide of gorgeous snapshots. The problem is, you've forgotten where you took each one. Wouldn't it be cool if you could tag your digital photos with the exact locations they were taken at? These three devices do just that.
Bargain Hunt: Unlocked Cell Phones
Bargain Hunt: Unlocked Cell Phones Your pockets need not be as deep as you once thought to bring home a top-of-the-line unlocked cell phone or smartphone. A slightly older model will have all the same perks--transatlantic roaming, software tinkering, and more--without the hefty sticker price. These four models from LG, Nokia, and Palm were all well received in PC Magazine Labs when we first reviewed them, and now they have prices that make them even more alluring.
Ulanoff: Bill Gates Isn't Leaving Microsoft
We're inching ever closer to Mr. Gates's scheduled retirement date--in July, to be more precise. But Lance Ulanoff thinks that Gates isn’t going to step down as planned. The software magnate may just decide to take on one final project before he sails off into the sunset. Could a delay announcement be imminent? Read Lance's column for more.
Review: Aliph's Stellar Bluetooth Headset
The Aliph New Jawbone is slicker, lighter, and more comfortable to wear than its predecessors--and the competition--all the while retaining the two best virtues of the original: amazing noise suppression and great sound quality. See for yourself in the full review on PCMag.com.
Review: A Cheap Network Switch for Small Business
The HP ProCurve 1700-24 may seem a little feature-anemic, but it can give a small-office network a central switch at a terrific price. It can also provide edge switching in a larger network, if necessary. For the savings, though, you've got to be willing to make a couple of sacrifices. Check out the review for more.
News: EU Worries About Google Street View

Gearlog: The BlackBerry Bold Cocktail
To some people out there, when they first hear about the new BlackBerry Bold, they think of a drink instead of a handheld device. One PC Magazine staffer went to a bar in the heart of BlackBerry Bold country--Grand Central Terminal in New York City--to see if the BlackBerry Bold could actually be a drink as well, and he came out with one tasty recipe. Check it out on Gearlog!
Security Watch: Microsoft Issues Four New Patches
Microsoft issued security bulletins and patches for four vulnerabilities Tuesday. Three of the flaws, in Microsoft Word, Publisher, and the Jet database engine, are critical in at least some configurations. A fourth vulnerability, in Microsoft's malware detection engine, maxes out at moderate. Head to Security Watch for more details.
