    The Polaroid 300 brings back instant photo printing

    Polaroid is back, baby. But don't run out to Walmart just yet. First I don't even know if Walmart is selling this kit, but if it was, you might want to pass. Living in the past isn't cheap. The Polaroid 300 carries a $90 MSRP with 10-shot film packs going for $10. That's a lot of cake.

    Review: Plantronics Voyager PRO UC Bluetooth headset

    Review: Lowepro SlingShot 202 AW

    Short version: The SlingShot 202 is a strange bag. It’s not really a backpack, although you do wear it on your back, and it’s not really a messenger bag, but you do put the strap over your shoulder. It’s kind of a strange combination of both, taking the best of each and combining them into [...]

    The JVC GZ-HM550 brings a new set of standards to the table. It isn't the 1920 x 1080 recording or 9 MP stills. Nor is it the 32GB internal flash memory with an SD/SDHC card slot playing backup or even the Konica Minolta HD lens. Nope, it's the novel Bluetooth function that might make a full size camcorder relevant again in a smartphone world.
