Review: Jabra JX10 is a headset with a light touch
The featherweight Jabra JX10 Bluetooth headset is so small that after trying it
on, our reviewer barely noticed it was there. Except for an occasional hiss,
the sound quality is great, too.

Next-Generation Encryption for Laptops, Notebooks, PCs
The increasing number of data breach incidents involving Windows-based devices
demands a new approach to protecting information assets against loss and theft.
A new encryption technology fills the security gaps left by file-based products
and avoids the management, recovery, data corruption and productivity issues
associated with full hard disk encryption.

Skype turns the virtual phone into real products
I've commented before on my enthusiasm for Skype (there are certain aspects of
my job where it would be difficult, if not simply very expensive to do what I
do each day), and I've also talked about the Netgear Skype phone.

The PDA Guerilla: Palm's Ambivilent Third-party Support
One of the largest benefits of the Palm platform is the huge number of third
party applications available, some amazingly sophisticated and most very
inexpensive. At the moment I have 46 third- party applications on my T3 and two
others on my main SD card, plus two card-based applications, giving me an even
50. These range from small utilities such as Fonts4OS5 (www.lubak.net), which
allows me to change the standard system fonts, to major applications such as
Datebk6 (www.PimlicoSoftware.com) , ShadowPlan (www.codejedi.com), WordSmith
(www.bluenomad.com), and Supernames (www.standalone.com), which replace the
four main built-in applications with better solutions of much greater
functionality.
