Will the Zune ever support more file types? I don’t have an answer to that, but the hardware will allow it. The Xbox and now Windows 7 natively supports codecs such as Xvix/Divx right out of the box, the Zune should too. In the mean time check out the Zune Video Conversion forum for tips and trick...

My TiVo Series3 and TiVo HD each communicate with my home network via TiVo’s very own 802.11g USB wireless adapter. And the solution just isn’t fast enough to copy HD content from one TiVo to another for real-time progressive download playback. So, I assume one goal of this product is to impro...

Lastly, the DROID has a physical keyboard and a virtual keyboard. The iPhone only has a virtual keyboard. Early reviews suggest the DROID physical keyboard is a little flat, a little hard to differentiate one key from another, and a little off-center to accommodate the 5-way control. In oth...

My story doesn’t end there, you’ll be pleased to know. I could quite easily pen an entire novel on the subject of Second Life were I so inclined (it’s still a possibility).

When I first had the chance to play with the XM SkyDock back in August, I boldly stated that Sirius XM Radio "hit the ball right out of the park" with this latest device. I was enamored with the concept of being able to combine my iPhone and a satellite radio in a single neat package. That was then. T...

Ubuntu One We still think it looks like a less feature-rich Dropbox, but having it installed by default and integrated into the file system might make regular Ubuntu users a little more familiar and trusting of the 2 GB of free space given to every Ubuntu user.

iP88 isn’t the first dual-dock clock radio for the iPhone; iLuv actually debuted such a product one year ago in the iMM173, a nice enough system that wound up getting the company banned from future iLounge coverage for repeated astroturfing comments. iLuv took a short cut with iMM173 and o...
