Review: Simplify Media – simply great!

Alright, I confess right up front, I have way more songs in my iTunes library than I ever do or will listen to.

Review: Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 Compact Speakers for iPod and iPhone

I have had mine for about 3 weeks and while it will never be my “go to” notebook computer (that role is reserved for my MacBook Pro) it is so light and easy to carry, that I find myself using it quite a bit of the time I need to catch up on RSS feeds, watch Slingbox, or just do a little bit of web surfing or email. → Read the rest
