But unlike the famous white-rimmed squares that could be traded from person-to-person, pinned up on corkboards, and squirreled away for posterity, their digital replacements lacked any real substance outside fleeting glimpses on a screen.Polaroid hopes to remedy this problem with its new PoGo instant printer, the first mobile printer truly small enough to slip into a pocket. By connecting to compatible cell phones and cameras, the PoGo liberates digital photos from cramped LCD screens and puts...

If you simply must have both digital photo frame and a printer, do yourself a favor--stay away from this toy and purchase two separate devices. Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:25:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/146948 Its Carl Zeiss telephoto lens and manual features are strong, but the focus-lock is erratic, and startup is slow. Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:10:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/146602 This lightweight model has a zoom lens that plays well at both wide-angle and telephoto extremes. Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:00:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/146947 An articulable LCD, great image stabilization, and top-quality photos add up to a great megazoom. Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:00:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/lm/reviews/15123 This photo-editing app is easy enough for amateurs but sophisticated enough for the pros to edit RAW photos?at a price both can appreciate.

It prints high-quality text and photos at a heavy price: the printer is s...l...o...w. If you always choose quality over speed, the c8180 will be a worthwhile addition to your digital toolshed.

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 14:24:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/lm/reviews/14745 This webcam captures unprecedented 12-MP photos and 3-MP video. But how?s the image quality?

Wed, 28 May 2008 14:02:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/lm/reviews/14603 This free, Web-based photo editor offers a clean interface and easy sharing.

Fri, 16 May 2008 04:12:00 -0400 http://ecoustics-cnet.com.com/Kodak_ESP_3/4505-3181_7-32915926.html?part=ecoustics-cnet The Kodak ESP 3 comes with great software for editing photos and applying touch-ups to portraits, but printer software is only as good as the physical results, and the print quality isn't nearly up to current industry standards. Your $150 would be much better spent on alternative multifunction printers. Thu, 08 May 2008 15:25:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/145562 The Z2420 Wireless is cheap, and Wi-Fi makes it versatile, but otherwise it's a typical and somewhat slow inkjet printer. Wed, 07 May 2008 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/145565 This inkjet printer is your best bet for speed on the cheap, but its plain-paper quality suffers. Wed, 07 May 2008 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/145560 You pay a bigger price for this inkjet, but you can print bigger things on it--and enjoy smaller ink prices plus automatic two-sided printing. Wed, 07 May 2008 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/145559 Home and student users should love this inkjet printer's output--and its price--but they'll need a little patience. Wed, 07 May 2008 01:00:00 -0400 http://www.ecoustics.com/pcw/reviews/145534 A swiveling stand and USB-based music and photo capabilities don't make up for this HDTV's poor image quality.
