Product: Nikon 1 J1
Price: $649.95 ($549.00 via Amazon)
Rating: Recommend*

The Nikon 1 J1 is a new design direction for Nikon, a mirrorless compact CX format sensor with a proprietary Nikon 1 lens mount, all in a minimalist form factor aimed at the enthusiast looking to step up from a budget point and shoot, but not yet ready to commit to a full DSLR model. From the pared down menu UI, the absence of a view finder, to the J1's marble smooth unadorned body, everything about the J1 communicates simplicity, joining an ever-growing subcategory of cameras which purport to offer the best of both worlds of a DSLR's performance with the convenience of a point and shoot. But is the J1 just a fashion statement or can it replace carrying around a full-size DSLR? More

Product: Samsung Galaxy Note
Price: $229.00 (contract)/$559.98 (unlocked)
Rating: Strong Recommend*

Samsung has found itself with a surprise hit on their hands with their Galaxy Note, selling over 6 million of the devices worldwide since the start of 2012, proving naysayers wrong with success where similarly supersized devices failed. The 5.3" model holds dual citizenship as both phone and tablet ("phablet" seems to be a popular description), arguably defining a whole new category of smartphone which forgoes pocketable size for an extended feature set. But is bigger really better when it comes to everyday use? For the last month I've adopted the Galaxy Note as my primary smartphone and I discovered there's a lot to love about this giant...if you can live with its quirks. More

Buying a stroller can be a confusing decision. There are so many to choose from and, especially as a first time parent, it's hard to know which features to prioritize.

Rating: Recommend*

One of the first accessories many iPhone owners consider is a proper case — a case allows you to personalize your phone while also protecting your investment. But have you ever considered a case that offers protection for you? Pong Research claims to deflect 95% of near-field cell phone radiation, possible insurance against the long-term effects of using a cell phone daily... More

Product: Doxie Go + Wi-Fi
Price: $249
Rating: Recommend*

When we spotted the Doxie Go + Wi-Fi at Macworld 2012 we knew we had to give it a try for ourselves. Having a scanner, especially one that will scan to the iPad, is very useful, but not everyone, especially us apartment dwellers, has space for a flatbed scanner. The small profile of the Doxie Go and the versatility offered with the addition of Wi-Fi made it a product that we could hardly wait to put through its paces... More

Product: Energizer Glas Under Cabinet LED Light
Price: $60
Rating: Recommend*

Although our apartment gets plenty of natural light there are still some areas, especially within storage, that could do with some extra illumination. These spaces include the cabinets under the TV, in the bathroom and inside the closet. We recently purchased and installed a LED solution from Energizer which puts out 400-lumens with just 9 watts...

Sleek. Responsive. Colorful. These aren't words used to describe the new iPad, but a new stock market app for your iOS devices called Stocktouch. Is this graphically beautiful app all show and no go? Or does it have what it takes to earn a spot on your app utility belt? More

"Hello ivee..." has been a new common phrase in our apartment the last few weeks, with the introduction of the Ivee Digit alarm clock, a voice-activated "beside assistant" designed to bring a little of that Siri-ish magic to your bedtime and morning routine. Whether this device is a help or hindrance depends upon your lifestyle and perhaps your age... More
