KEEP TALKING...
Check out the Polycom business media phone . The deep winter freeze across the country - we’re sure – is making a lot of folks wish they could work from home or at least hold a few meetings. That’s why if you don’t have Skype or want to pay monthly for a meeting conference service, the Polycom line of products maybe your best bet.
The Polycom VVX 1500, for instance, makes it easy to launch a video call, combining one-touch video and business applications into a seamless experience. You can make simple and fast calls and it even has an adjustable camera and display. Use it for business or to reach out to friends and family.
GOOGLE'S NEXUS PHONE: DOES EVERY GIRL NEED ONE?
Google's Nexus One cellphone is the first product to kick off our new Glam Tech page this month. Officially launched at this month's Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas, the phone is the first serious contender for real competition with Apple's iPhone. But only time will tell who wins this war. For those of you who want to check it out, see the down and dirty, quick and easy review from Cnet.com below. Read, and then you decide if you're ready to break up with the iPhone and trade it in for a new boyfriend.
The Good: The Nexus One has a gorgeous display, a lightning-fast processor, and a loaded feature set. The enhanced voice capabilities worked flawlessly, and the phone delivers solid performance.
The Bad: Like other Android phones, the Nexus One forces you to store apps on the internal memory. The media player remains average, and it's missing some wanted features like multitouch support, dual-mode capability for GSM and CDMA networks, and native tethering. Currently, Outlook calendar syncing is not available.
The Bottom Line: It doesn't have all the features we'd like, but the Nexus One greatly enhances the Google Android family with a fast processor, good call quality, and improved voice control features. What's more, we love that all versions of the phone will be unlocked. www.google.com/phone
