You can tell that from the moment you look at its minimalist design, that the Jabra Halo is not your typical stereo bluetooth A2DP headset. The HALO sports touchscreen controls on its right hand earpiece and it also features AVRCP which lets you play and pause music tracks, as well as skip backward and forward on music tracks.

The new Blackberry Bold 2 is not a revolutionary update to the original Bold 9000, but the new model improves on the original with significant refinements that will make T-Mobile BlackBerry users very happy, especially since it's the first Blackberry to support their 3G network. What is really nice about the Bold this time around is that both AT&T and T-Mobile are getting it at the same time, there are no exclusives. Thank goodness! We're so sick of carriers getting exclusives over one another, and if AT&T got one more great smartphone exclusive we just couldn't bare it.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think of airport security, is the hassle of having to take my laptop out of my bag and putting it into one of those cold hard plastic containers to be scanned. I can't help but get nervous that my laptop is going to get scratched or bumped around in those nasty gray containers. With Speck's new line CorePack Fly, these TSA approved bags let you carry your laptop through security without unpacking it for a hassle free travel experience.

The Phlilps Wake-Up light is designed to enhance your physical well being when its time for you to get up in the morning. When we got a hands on demo a few weeks ago, we witnessed for ourselves the overall charm of this unusual device. The Wake-Up Light features a soft light that gently glows as you awake from your deep slumber, it also plays back soothing sound effects that include the gentle sound of wind chimes or chirping birds, which make this device especially appealing for those who hate to wake up. So when we received a review sample we were eager to see if this device would lighten our mood in the morning when we woke up, instead of just grouchily hitting the snooze button.

We have had over a dozen printers here in the past 10 years. Some HP, some Epson, and I believe one Canon. When it comes to print quality and driver compatibility, Epson has always come out on top. This week we looked at the Epson Stylus NX515, how does it compare with its predecessors? Before we even opened the box I was excited. It’s a WiFi printer, it’s pretty and it’s an All-in-One printer (it prints, it scans, it copies). Let's take a look at it…

Once and a while a video game comes along that takes your average video game and turns it into something special, Darkest of Days happens to be just one of those games. In Darkest of Days , you get to experience some of the most varied gameplay ever released in one title.  Things will never get stale as you travel through different timezones and fight alongside people from that time period.  You will battle in in five different Time Periods: Pompeii, Antietam, WWI, WWII,  or Little Big Horn and you will fight with real weapons from that time period. You begin the story as Alexander Morris fighting at the battle of Little Big Horn where you are shot with an arrow, but saved by a fellow named Dexter who is from the future. Dexter becomes your partner for the game. It turns out that a company called Kronotek Technology has perfected time travel and has been using it to save those that should have survived fatal events during wars throughout time. Your mission of the game is to go back and save those that might have been ultimately killed during great wars.

MusicSkins is a company that is similar to GelaSkins, however their primary difference is that they specialize in skins that feature musicians. Where GelaSkins concentrates on being 'Mobile Art', MusicSkins concentrates on making your fave music artist a skin for any device you may have. There are even skins for your Guitar Hero/Rock Band Controller and Seagate hard drives. I have been a big fan of GelaSkin for sometime and I even tweeted not so long ago that I was already on to my 4th laptop, yet I was still using the same GelaSkin. So would the MusicSkin hold up to that type of challenge? Would it be just as good quality? I had used similar skins prior to GelaSkins and wasn't all that impressed. I was either disappointed by the quality, long term durability, or just the selection of designs. MusicSkins offers up music artist centric designs but also Fashion, Art, Obama, Models, Charity, and Media designs. Music designs are broken up by genre and give consumers the full spectrum of whatever music taste they may have. Pop, Rap, Reggae, and Rock all there plus a few more.

The new Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 is the ultimate keyboard for the mobile professional and anyone else who is constantly on the go. Unlike most mobile keyboards which compromise in some area, the Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard hasn't made much sacrifices.The keyboard is also a great solution for netbook users who want a portable solution to compliment their very cramped netbook keyboard.

If you are in the market for a new external portable hard drive, then the Buffalo MiniStation Metro is a good solution for your portable storage needs. Its smart and clean design is perfect for throwing into a briefcase or pocketbook. Its very lightweight at only 8.5 ounces and it has a unique exterior with an integrated Flex USB cable that wraps around the hard drive, thus alleviating an additional bulge in your bag from a USB cable. As a result, you'll never have to worry about forgetting to bring a USB cable with you again. And in case the Flex USB cable is not long enough for your computer, then there is an included extension USB cable to attach to your computer as well. The design also features Buffalo’s BumperBody shock absorbers that "surround the hard drive inside a sturdy body that also has rubberized protectors on the outside." Although not being marketed as a rugged hard drive, we dropped the hard drive a few times from about a foot high on to a desk and threw it around a little to test just how shock absorbing the drive is, and the MiniStation Metro kept on running.

The new Monster Turbine Pro High Performance In-Ear Speakers are not a replacement to the Monster Turbine High Performance In-Ear Speakers, but another choice for those Audiophiles who didn't think the original Turbines did their music justice. The newest pair of In-Ear Speakers are again a labor of love from Monster and aim to please those looking for the perfect sound reproduction. There is a reason these are called 'Pro.'

Anybody who has ever had their computer crash on them and lost precious irreplaceable files knows just how important it is to back your computer up. The more backups the better. Not only does backing your computer up protect you from when (not if) your computer will have a complete meltdown, it also gives you the peace of mind knowing that your files are safe even if you accidentally delete them.

The Beatles, really what can you say about an iconic band that has produced music that transcends across generations. So it was with extreme enthusiasm that I got to grab my little plastic guitar and make it weep. Even if I wish there was a sitar controller available. The Rock Band series has broken away from its typical formula and introduced a game that is completely engrossing and visually captivating, so much so that you'll think you are tripping along with John and Paul when playing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Philips launched the GoGear Vibe not too long ago and although it's not meant to be a direct iPod competitor by any means, it does do the job of being an affordable MP3 player and a serious alternative to the Shuffle. In the Box: The packaging is actually pretty smart as it offers a perforated area on the packaging to simply take the device out of it without cutting your hands or breaking a pair of scissors. The GoGear Vibe comes with a USB adapter, matching black ear buds, a booklet, and software for easy installation. Design: The GoGear Vibe's black glossy design itself is slick and easy on the eye.  Its body is small with curved edges so the ease of portability is there, but unfortunately the quality of the operational buttons are a bit stiff. You can also hear a bit of clicking noise when you press on the buttons. However for this price point, I guess you can't complain too much since it is a MP3/Video player after all. Overall, the GoGear Vibe is a very portable device, fitting into the palm of my hand, it is great for running or using at the gym. I used it every morning for 1 hour in the gym and it lasted 7 days without having to recharge. The battery life is rated at 25 hours for audio and 4 hours for video.

LaCie has always been known for their well made Hard Drives but they also have a growing line of accessories to protect your precious storage in as well. Sam Hecht, a LaCie hard drive designer has conceptualized the new LaCie Coat and Cozy accessory cases. The Coat bags bring a new way to travel with your hard drives without the worry of them smashing into something and getting damaged. Resembling the bubbles on bubble wrap or even Lego brick bumps, each pattern comes in a different color and size: orange, red, black, and gray. It also supports 2.5 inch drives as well as 3.5 inch drives. When you grow tired of the bubble effect, you can always turn the sleeve inside out and then a suede fabric interior is exposed.

The Casio Exilim Ex-S5 is definitely the camera to buy if you are looking for a consumer friendly camera that is easy on your wallet and you don't want to stress your brain. It's a simple camera that provides excellent photo quality, ease of use, and it is extremely light to carry.

Based on the original Bionic Commando from Nintendo, Capcom decided to bring it back and give it a whirl with updated graphics and game play. Well they should have left it alone. The story starts with Nathan Spencer, the Bionic Commando being brought back into action by the same force that imprisoned him after he led the bionic commandos to victory 10 years earlier. The game is pretty mediocre at best. The pace of the game is pretty steady and fast. The best part was the awesome one liners when you killed someone such as "Kick A$$ or "I Would hate to be that guy", very amusing for a horrible game. The worst is the extra long tutorial they put in which is helpful but very drawn out.

If you are like us, you love your iPhone. But as with any electronic gadget, the biggest annoyance is the battery life. With average use you probably don't get more than a day out of your iPhone, and generally that can be fine, since your day is over and you can let charge while you sleep. But what about those days when you are surfing the net for hours, playing your favorite app or watching movies on the plane? You never seem to have enough battery. Then you have to worry about finding a place to charge your iPhone... what a hassle! I can't count how many times I've found  myself scrambling for an AC outlet so that I could recharge my iPhone. Wouldn't it be great if your battery could last longer? That is where Mophie comes to the rescue!

Boom Blox Bash Party speaks to my inner child. The child that cackles with glee knocking things over, the one that walks past a beautifully stacked grocery store display and can hardly resist rolling my shopping cart right through it and being buried in a glorious avalanche of downy soft paper towels.

The LAbesace LIME DROP may not be the most feminine bag but it gets the job done. It's design is sturdy yet sleek with curves - especially at the base of the bag. The shoulder strap of the bag resembles that of a car's safety belt, and that means it is that much more durable. The interior of the LAbesac LIME DROP is indeed a neon yellowish green color, which makes it easy to spot any loose items in your bag. There are several compartments inside the bag. The laptop compartment was able to hold my 15" MacBook Pro even though it is suggested that the max size it will hold is a 13.3" MacBook. Once the laptop is in its compartment, a velcro strap holds it in place.  Other compartments will hold letter or legal size papers or notebooks as well as pens or cards. There is even a plastic see-thru area to slip in an ID card in case the bag gets lost.

I have always been fascinated with metal detectors because of the allure of finding hidden loot. Do they really work? That quivering crackling noise it makes as you get closer and closer – will it reveal a huge treasure?! Instead of lugging around one of those big metal detector machines, My Treasure Seekers in conjunction with Hammacher Schlemmer released the Metal Detector Sandals. The Metal Detector Sandals are a nice pair of rubber slip-on’s that will not only protect your feet from the elements, but also let you beach comb and wade through piles of sand as your feet try to find hidden riches. On the surface the slippers are very plain, but to their credit  they are unisex so that way women can get in on the fun too. There is nothing fancy about them at all, they are comprised of a thick black rubber with some support for your feet.

I've been eyeing the HP Pavilion dv2 ever since it was announced at CES. Mostly because of its good looks and near netbook-like pricing. Also, it seemed like the dv2 could be the best of both worlds - an affordable ultraportable that is almost as convenient to carry around as a netbook, but with the muscle power of a heavier laptop. I am a power user, so the more performance at my disposal, the better. Design: The dv2 weighs just 3.8lbs yet manages to pack in 3 USB ports, a multi-card reader, ethernet, a PC express card slot, a lock port, and both HDMI and VGA outputs, which means that it can easily be hooked up to a projector for presentations or a large screen TV for watching movies. The build quality of the dv2 is excellent, it feels very solid with smooth round edges. When you hold it you can tell that it has been made with high quality materials. There is no flex in the system unless you try really hard to bend it, which is obviously not recommended. Notably, the left side on the bottom of the laptop gets pretty hot, especially during graphics intensive tasks like playing a video game or watching a video. There are two colors available for the dv2, an Espresso Black and a Moonlight White for an extra $25. We received the white version. [gallery=164]
