The size of a credit card, Verizon's MiFi 2200 is a game changing device, creating a WiFi internet hotspot for up to five devices of ANY kind wherever you travel, at a hotel or restaurant, at a seminar or meeting, or even in your car or on a train while moving.
Living in a post-iPhone world, every new cellular product introduction is met with the question, "Yeah, but can it beat the iPhone?" Google's new Nexxus One phone is certainly no exception, but it may very well be the first phone we have seen that can give Apple a run for their money.
In a sea of cordless phone choices, it would take A LOT for a new DECT 6.0 cordless phone to stand out in the crowd, but the ultra-modern styling, higheend features and low-end price of VTech's new LS-6245 phones makes VTech's new flagship cordless phone really stand out in a crowded field.
We just conducted our first test of the Walking Hot Spot software at 
Its tiny. Its sleek. Its all the
rage right now. And it swivels open like a switchblade; neat. If you are into
music, this just might be the phone for you. The Juke definately gets points for style. When it is in its compact form, it
just looks like an edgy mp3 player sporting a turn-wheel interface much like the
'Chocolate'. On the side you'll find the standard rocker volume buttons, a 2.5
millimeter earphone jack, a data-port, and a convenient button-lock slider. The
screen, like the phone, is tiny but high-quality.
The Magic Jack device is deceptively simple, with every features one could want in a VOIP solution. And, for just $20 per year in service, you get everything, unlimited calls to the US and Canada, call forwarding to three simultaneous numbers, call conferencing, an local inbound phone number, advanced caller ID, voice mail, and even a connection to Outlook

TECH2 LAKE HOUSE
UPDATE - The exterior of the Technology Lake House is complete and we are now working on interior finishing and electronics. Last year, San Francisco's Channel 7 ABC News ran a special video report on the construction progress of the Technology Lake House, and we expect them back for a follow-up soon. Click HERE for a DLINK Live Video Feed with pan and zoom features (userid=user, no password, daylight hours only).
Ron Rosberg's current project home, the Technology Lake House, is currently under construction on the shores of Clearlake in Northern California. Even though the house is a wireless demo house, we have installed more than seven miles of wires in the walls for dozens of flat panel TVs, speakers, control panels, and sophisticated lighting. So far, more than a dozen technology and fixture manufacturers have agreed to sponsor this project, which has been simmering in Ron's head since he attended the first CES show in New York in 1967. The 7,500 square foot project (plus three existing rustic cabin guest houses) is being built on a five-acre Honeymoon Cove resort with 500 feet of beach directly across from Konocti Harbor Resort. This summer retreat will host technology gatherings annually, inviting Western states home builders, contractors, and technology consultants for a live open house showcasing the latest in home technologies. There is room to park plenty of boats, so plan on coming up for some lake fun after the project is complete.

We are currently looking for products to evaluate in these areas:
- Home automation: lighting, security, and entertainment
- A/V technology for the 500 SF home theater media demo room
