We just finished our review of the Navman N40i and you’ll probably want to take a look at what we found in our 100 plus hours of testing. We’ve reviewed many other Navman units in the past and we found some surprises on this one. Lighter and sleeker than the previous models and even a bountiful amount of POI’s in the database. But…well, just read the review and you’ll see.

Hey, if you’re looking to really protect your iPod nano, then you may want to read our resident reviewer Tom Jones’ thoughts of the OtterBox nano case.

Tom’s a machinist by day (no, he doesn’t sing in Vegas) and is around a lot of stuff that could wreck his iPod. With the OtterBox, he was tempting fate by completely forgetting about his dirty hands and changing tracks or pausing the current selection. Or how about all that oil and coolant that could get on his nano? Well, you’ll have to read his review to find out…plus the shower “scene” will surely crack you up.

It’s here, the latest review and this one will have your ears singing for a long time. We love our iPod and we love anything that plugs into our iPod. When it’s speaker systems, then we really love it.

We’ve tested and listened to a ton of speaker systems out there for the iPod and our favorite has always been the Altec Lansing inMotion im7. That has changed. Now with the Harman/Kardon GO+PLAY in our collection of iPod accessories, we’re ready to off the Altec and gleefully use our new GO+PLAY with no abandon. Dude, I can not even express in words how good this thing sounds. Well, actually, I can. So read what I had to say and then, well, buy it. It’s that simple. Remember, Grads and Dads!

If you’re looking for some sweet speakers that will handle all that bass and dance in the highs of your Chopin when it’s time to be elegant, then dude, you need to read the review on the Axiom M3 v2s we just did. We’ve had these speaks’ for a while now and man, they sound great! And for $330 a pair, these are a great deal. Read and score.

Last June, we told you about Azureus and many commented about other great Torrent clients, but we think we’ve just found a new one that betters them all. It’s name? Xtorrent.

Xtorrent for Mac OS X 10.4 and higher uses the now very familiar iTunes look-n-feel. With searched items on the left column and current download speed at the bottom of that column, you can quickly gain insight to what your little beaver of a Torrent client is doing. On the right side, the search results for the selected term from the left side reside. You can even filter your results by entering some key words in the filter box on the top right. When clicking on the download icon (lower left), your current downloads are now displayed on the right. Transfer rate, progress, and time left are all shown for you to quickly acquire information to where you are in each one of your downloads. Clicking on one of the downloads will give you detailed information about it such as the tracker URI, amount of seeds and leaches, as well as a graphical display of a box with multi-colors indicating downloaded, uploaded, and remaining bits. If you chose to limit bandwidth speed for an individual torrent, you can click on either the download or upload meter and make a change via the drop down. You can also predetermine where each file time goes via the preferences such as AVI, QT, and MPG all go to your Movies folder and MP3 and such go into your Music folder. Images would go to the Pictures folder. All very nicely done.

Download speeds seem to be as fast, if not faster, than other clients we’ve used on both PC and Macs. We performed a download of Lost Episode 17 from this season in about 2 hours while CHiPs and a Lost spoiler were also downloading. Not bad for 700 MB XvID file.

What we liked, no, loved about Xtorrent was its built-in search feature. It’s excellent and the best we’ve seen thus far. Are number one test for searching torrents is “CHiPs”, the hit TV show from the early ’80s with those two great motorcycle CHP officers Ponch and John. Rarely does CHiPs ever come up but Xtorrent not only found some hits but also the entire first season! In just a few short days, I’ll have the entire first season (which by the way Universal, I’d gladly pay for the DVD set if you ever would release it!). Further, you can quickly see which torrents will download more quickly than others with a star rating system for the swarms. The higher the star, the better download rate. In addition to the default Yahoo and Google search sources, you can add others such as Pirate Bay to the list of searched sites for your torrents. Powerful and easy.

With RSS, Growl, Apple TV, iTunes, and iPod support right out of the box, Xtorrent seems pretty difficult to compete against. For $20 for the Pro version (removes bandwidth limits and nag screens) and then $9 for a family pack and 9 more for unlimited upgrades, $38 seems cheap for such a great client. You’re free to check it out but if you’re like me, you’ll be hitting PayPal within you first search completion.

Have you ever wondered just how many days it will be until a certain event? My kids ask me daily how many days it is until Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for church. Fortunately, those are easy amounts to figure out, but if you have something a bit further down the road, then you may wish to check out Date Wheel 3 for your Palm OS PDA or smartphone. With just three sections to press and enter data into, you’ll know in an instant how many days it is until you get an extra hour of sleep when we fall back. See our review for more details.

We’ve got to, er, hand it to Innovative on its EVO Tablet Arm. It’s freakin’ awesome and we loved it! There aren’t many things we fall in love with right of the box, but I’m telling you, this was one of those things! If you’re scratchin’ your head and trying to even figure out what the heck this is, then dude, read the review!

If you have the older Windows version on your computer (XP and earlier,) and you desire to do some TV recording, then you may want to check out our review on SageTV version 6.1. We played with 6.x for a good month and then dove into the beta for 6.1. We found this beta more stable than some gold code out there! Overall, we loved the features and just how many tuner cards you could pack into this bad boy. Heck, I don’t think we ever had this thing crash on us once!

We gave Alex a Treo for a fortnight and he came back all happy and bush tailed with glee. He liked it, though it did have some quirks. Some of the very same ones Steve Jobs spoke of during the iPhone introduction. Mmm, Steve may have been on to something. Anyway, if you’re looking at getting a Treo or a smartphone that will push real e-mail to you (not silly Yahoo! Mail like the iPhone will do,) then this review is for you.

If you’re looking to purchase a new thumb drive, then take a look at our review of the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2 GB thumb drive. It’s our first review of all five stars. In the end, it performed like no other and we were really impressed with it and the small form factor. It fits in your pocket just nice and works like a charm.
