Review of Apple iPhone 3GS
The iPhone 3GS is a the successor to the smash-hit iPhone 3G. It adds a number of major improvements and many fine-tunings to the already-impressive phone. With these changes, the iPhone 3GS stands poised to be as big a hit as the iPhone 3G, if not an even bigger success.

CoverScout 2.3.8 Review
Now that CoverFlow is used so widely in iPod products, having album cover art is practically a necessity. But Apple's iTunes art importer tool sometimes misses art or gets the wrong cover. You can add cover art manually, but that can be a lot of work. If you want a faster option, consider CoverScout.

A Review of Apple's iPhone 3G
Looking at the iPhone 3G, perhaps you wouldn’t think it’s too different from its predecessor. But looks can be deceiving. And in the case of the iPhone 3G, they’re very deceiving indeed: the iPhone 3G is a big jump past the first-generation iPhone.

iPod Touch Review
The iPod touch is widely referred to as the iPhone without the phone. That’s because the ipod touch has almost all of the iPhone’s features except for the connection to AT&T’s EDGE network.

AppleTV Review
The AppleTV is Apple’s first set-top box that allows users to play the contents of their iTunes libraries on their TVs and through their home entertainment systems. The device uses a WiFi connection to sync with a computer’s iTunes library and then can stream contents to its 40GB or 160GB hard drive. It also supports purchase and download of movies and TV from the iTunes Store.

2nd Generation iPod touch Reviews
The iPod touch has been referred to as an iPhone without the phone because it’s just that: it offers everything that the iPhone does, except for the ability to make calls. That’s carried through in the 2nd-generation iPod touch – it offers the same great features as its predecessor and includes some new features to boot.

4th Generation iPod nano Reviews
The 4th-generation iPod nano returns the nano to its roots – it’s once again a tall, narrow iPod. The 3rd-generation model was a radical departure for the nano line, with its squat size and square screen, but the 4th-generation model is tall, with a rectangular screen and some exciting new features.

Agent 18 NanoShock Kit for iPod nano Review
The Agent 18 NanoShock Kit provides a stylish and affordable - but somewhat flawed - protection system for the iPod nano.

Agent 18 VideoShield Kit Review
Agent 18's VideoShield kit is a iPod video case that also includes a stand for watching video - a great touch for those who want to watch TV or movies on their iPods while avoiding hand cramps.

Agent 18 EcoShield for iPhone 3G Review
Agent 18’s EcoShield for iPhone 3G case updates the company’s line of cases for the first-generation iPhone, and while it offers most of the benefits of that line, it also introduces a new drawback.

Agent18 Eco iPhone Shield Review
Consumer electronics are generally the bane of good environmental policy - after all those LCD screens and circuit boards produce a lot of toxic waste and are rarely disposed of safely. The Agent18 Eco iPhone Shield, though, gives you the chance to protect your iPhone with a smaller environmental impact.

XtremeMac SportWrap iPhone Case Review
The armband case has long been a staple iPod accessory. These cases have accommodated all kinds of iPods, though because of size and weight considerations, the nano or Shuffle is usually the more common iPod seen on exercisers. So, where does that leave the iPhone, which is bigger and as heavy or heavier than any current iPod?

3rd Generation Apple iPod Shuffle Review
Each generation of the iPod Shuffle seems to require a radical reinvention of the device. The third-generation model, released in March 2009, is back to the vertical rectangle, but is tiny, lacks any buttons to control the device, and adds a new, controversial feature.

Apple Airport Express Review
The Apple Airport Express is the perfect accessory for anyone who lives in more than one room and has an iTunes library. This little box is affordable and so easy to use that if you really enjoy music and want to streamline your home audio set up to include just a computer and speakers in various rooms (especially if you’ve got an iPod touch or iPhone), you pretty much need to have it.

Mophie Radura case for iPod nano Review
The Mophie Radura case for the third-generation iPod nano is similar from a lot of other hard cases on the market, with one key difference: an opportunity for customization on the back of the case. That’s not enough to truly set the case apart from the pack, though.

iLuv Clear Hard Case for iPhone 3G Review
One of the more common complaints I have with the iPhone 3G cases I’ve been seeing lately is that they compromise the aesthetics of the phone. Many iPhone 3G cases add bulk to the phone, robbing users of the aesthetic pleasure of the phone and making it harder to slip in and out of pockets. That’s the key problem with iLuv’s Clear Hard Case for iPhone 3G.

Core Cases Aluminum Slider for iPod nano Review
Core Cases’ Aluminum Slider for the third-generation iPod nano is a decent case undermined by a crucial flaw: The lack of clickwheel protection and a slight opening above the clickwheel allows debris and moisture into the case where it could cause problems.

AppleTV Take 2 Review
The AppleTV Take 2 is Apple’s substantially upgraded version of the AppleTV. One of the key upgrades of this version of the device is support for iTunes Movie Rentals, including high-definition rentals. There is no hardware change in AppleTV Take 2 – all the changes were made in the software that runs the device.

JBL On Stage IIIp iPod Speaker Dock Review
JBL’s On Stage IIIp iPod speaker dock packs a lot into its small shape. But, due to unexceptional sound and a slightly high price, it’s not quite as distinguished as some of its features might lead one to expect.

Boston Acoustics i-DS2 iPod Speakers Review
When it comes to judging iPod speaker docks for the home, there are two major points to consider: sound quality and price. Secondary factors, such as style and extras, also factor into the equation. When judged on all these criteria, the Boston Acoustics i-DS2 iPod speaker dock is a terrific success.

Surround Xi Portable iPod Speakers Review
Portable speakers are all about compromise – how much sound quality are you willing to trade to shed weight and size? What price are you willing to pay to pack all those features into a small package?

iLuv Silicone Case for iPhone 3G Review
One of the best things about the iPhone 3G is how much better it feels in your hand than its predecessor. Some iPhone 3G cases add bulk to the device and the phone loses its sleekness. Happily, that’s not the case with the iLuv Silicone Case for iPhone 3G.

Case Logic iPod Classic Silicone Cases Review
Though iPod cases that lack clickwheel protection are still fairly common (though I think there’s no excuse for not protecting it), it’s rare to come across a case that doesn’t protect the iPod’s screen anymore. In the Case Logic iPod Classic Silicone Case we have both – a case that protects neither the clickwheel nor the screen.
