PCMag.com's ProductWire: First Looks Update

June 17, 2008

I N T H I S I S S U E

Firefox is Still Tops
The new version of Firefox brings it to the head of the class in security, speed (except for startup speed), standards compatibility, and thrifty memory usage. In addition, its powerful new location bar enormously facilitates browsing. Read our in-depth review.

New HP Blackbird Built to Exhilarate
HP announced the release of the Blackbird 002 Exhilaration Edition gaming desktop, the newest model from the HP and Voodoo PC collaboration. The Exhilaration Edition is loaded with features and uses nVidia's latest GeForce GTX 280 graphics card. Get all the details in our report.

The Best Consumer Video-Editing App
With the release of CyberLink PowerDirector 7 Ultra, PowerDirector completes its transformation from cute but underpowered toy with excellent across-the-board functionality and usability. See why it's our Editors' Choice for video editing.

Luxury Trumps Performance
The U2E-A2B classes up ASUS's wide array of ultraportables--and you'll pay a premium for its generous feature set and 32GB SSD. Unfortunately, this slick system couldn't find the balance between speed and battery life, producing some of the worst benchmark scores in its category. Even so, that doesn't mean this notebook doesn't deserve a closer look. Check out our hands-on review.

JBL's iPhone Speaker Dock
The reasonably priced On Stage IIIP works with both the iPhone and iPods, providing a full sound considering its relatively compact frame, and a decent price to boot. Read our full review.

AppScout: Spore Creator Creature Goes Live
For four years, fans have been eagerly awaiting Spore, the latest in Electronic Arts' long-running Sim series. While the full game won't be available until the fall, the Creature Creator is now available, and we had the chance to try it out. Get more details and check out a video of the Creator in action, on AppScout.com.

Plus: Check out exclusive screenshots from the game on PCMag.com.

Gearlog: Election Watches Sport Waving Pres Hopefuls
Conceived by inventor and entrepreneur Steven Edelson, the Election Watches feature a waving White House hopeful and are the latest gimmick in a strange and exciting new world of politics-gone-tech. You have to see them to believe them, on Gearlog.com.
