The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement. Read review

The Bottom Line: Apple's new wireless Magic Mouse gets a sleek makeover and even has multitouch controls, but it's better as a portable laptop companion rather than a full-size desktop accessory.

If you need a modestly priced all-in-one for getting work done, we'd recommend no other system. Read review

The Bottom Line: It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side. Read review

The Bottom Line: The D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router DIR-855 is a stable performer with excellent Web interface.

The Bottom Line: The Mac Mini remains unique as the smallest mainstream desktop, but competition from Dell and HP has narrowed the gap in features while also offering room for expansion, and at a better price.
