We love tablets, but when you must compose a long email or create a text-heavy document, a screen keyboard isn't always the best solution. A Bluetooth keyboard is often the way to go, and although they can be fragile and must be protected, they allow the user to type efficiently and comfortably. Consider the Logitech Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Apple iPad, a keyboard case that has quickly become one of our favorite products. Well made and practical, we think it‚Äôs a solid choice. Read the full review!

We pride ourselves on being good listeners, maybe not always to each other, but definitely to great music! In what seems like an avalanche of new items promising ever better audio, cool features, neat colors or bling, it's rare to encounter a product that changes the way we actually listen to music. We tried the dBLogic EP-100V Earphones and found the idea interesting: earphones that automatically limit the sound volume to protect the user's hearing. In this review we take a look at their new earphones and their approach to providing good sound while protecting your hearing. The dBLogic EP-100V Earphones are a Mac Edition Radio Holiday Pick!

For almost 20 years, Roxio's Toast has been the leading tool for manipulating optical media on the Mac OS. Roxio Toast Version 11 carries on this position and adds some useful upgrades and a substantially improved interface. While many folks seem to feel that there is no longer a place for optical media in their workflow, write-once media has many advantages including immunity to a hard drive crash, electrical surge, data corruption, or OS and interface changes. How well does Roxio Toast 11 handle this changing landscape? Hint, Roxio Toast 11 is a Mac Edition Radio Holiday Pick!

The word "Photoshop" has become synonymous with almost any kind of digital image manipulation, and is now a staple of the English language as not just a noun, but a verb, too! Although there have been a few pretenders to the image manipulation throne, none have been able to make a dent in Adobe's solid lock on the kingdom. The recent release of the cross-platform Creative Suite 5.5 for the power and professional user, and Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10 for the consumer, has kept that momentum moving forward. In this review we examine whether or not these new versions or upgrades are right for you. Adobe Creative Suite 5.5, Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10 are Mac Edition Radio Holiday Picks.

Audio-Technica is one of the most highly respected names in audio, and their line of headphones and earphones is well known. We have reviewed their noise-canceling units in the past, and this year saw revisions to those product lines. We look at their newly released ATH-ANC23 QuietPoint® Active Noise-Cancelling In-Ear Headphones, the ATH-ANC7b QuietPoint® Active Noise-Cancelling Headphones, and the ATH-AD900 Audiophile Open-air Dynamic Headphones to see how they stack up. Hint: all are all Mac Edition Radio Holiday Picks!

Our day-to-day use of personal GPS units is one of the more astonishing technological fruits of the space race, and has now become commonplace in our everyday lives. Who could have imagined that a small handheld device would be able to communicate with satellites orbiting the earth and triangulate a user's position to an accuracy of a few meters, making it seem as easy as getting the time from your watch. Even early science fiction couldn't predict them; instead we saw flying cars, personal rockets, ray guns, and aliens. Who needs those fantastical gadgets anyway, when what really matters is that we are still stuck in traffic, disoriented on a mountain, trying to find that perfect fishing spot, or find that food cache. Magellan's eXplorist series promises to meet any of our location needs, and more. We tested their flagship eXplorist 710 model to see how it delivered on those promises. Hint: the Magellan's eXplorist 710 is a Mac Edition Radio Holiday Pick!
