Dispelling SMB misconceptions

By Johna Till Johnson | PC Advisor Blog

Service providers are getting very interested in pitching to small-to-midsize businesses. That's a great idea - only partly because I run one. SMBs are often where the action is - we spearhead a surprising amount of technology innovation. So it's cool that carriers are marketing to us.

iPhone swappers seek cigarettes, beer & cash

By Paul Trotter | The Editor's Blog

How inconsiderate of Apple to launch the iPhone on June 29 – a Friday. Apple is unlikely to have enough iPhones to meet demand on the opening weekend, and so by releasing the handset on a work day, the company is surely posing a few headaches for those who can’t get a day off.

Dell: sun, sea and a fashion parade of, er, PCs

By Matt Egan | PC Advisor Blog

Apparently it's been raining in Britain. Well I wouldn't know as I'm in Spain. But beyond the occasional blast of hot air I'm not entirely sure how the weather's doing here in Marbella. No, I've spent the day looking at Dell's new consumer PCs.

Halo 2 Vista-only first-person shooter

Halo 2 is the creme de la creme of console shooters. Released in late 2004, Halo 2 sold an obscene number of copies and single-handedly made the Xbox Live service relevant. Halo and Halo 2 made the Xbox, and paved the way for Xbox 360. So it's understandable that Microsoft would look to Halo 2 as a launch title for Vista.

Logitech AudioStation iPod speaker system

The Logitech AudioStation is a premium "desktop" speaker system. As with most speakers in this class - compact, one-piece systems that require AC power - the Logitech AudioStation offers bigger (and better) sound than most portable iPod speaker systems.

US Robotics Wireless Ndx Router USR805464

Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000 wireless VoIP headset

If you get a sense of déjà vu when looking at the Microsoft LifeChat ZX-6000, check out Microsoft's Xbox 360 headset. Add a splash of black and, voila! The Xbox branding may have gone, but when you plug in the receiver it still thinks it's found an Xbox peripheral.

Skype plugs hybrid landline/VoIP handsets

By Rosemary Haworth | New Products Blog

Skype started out as a way of making free calls using the internet. Now it says that most people don't really want to do that. What most of us want, it seems, is to be able to make free, or dirt cheap, calls from an actual phone.
