Product Review
This is an update of a review I wrote last year, which focused on the smaller, 7-inch version of the Kodak Pulse.In my 20-plus years as a tech writer, I've owned or reviewed about a zillion gadgets. Some were good, many were forgettable, and a few were downright dreadful (
I'm looking at you, Microsoft Spot Watch).
But a select few gadgets earned a special place in my heart, just by being insanely cool, insanely practical, or both. On this very exclusive list: the
Apple iPhone, Palm V PDA,
Roomba robot vacuum,
TiVo DVR and, most recently,
Kodak Pulse digital photo frame. It's available with two screen options: 7-inch and the newer 10-inch.

Product Review
Kodak may have stumbled a bit while transitioning from its historic film roots to the modern digital world, but lately the company has created some killer products. For example, the
Pulse digital photo frame remains one of my favorite products ever, and the new
Easyshare Touch is my new favorite camera.

I don't mind telling you I have three Roku boxes in my house.
That's not me being boastful; it's me revealing how much I love
Roku boxes.
The new $99.99 Roku 3 takes the place of the Roku 2 XS as the
high-end model in the line, and it's without a doubt the company's
best box yet. But questions remain: Is it worth the extra cash, and
does it beat the Apple TV at its own media-streaming game?
For the uninitiated, a Roku box plugs into one of your TV's
HDMI ports, then serves up nearly every video and audio service
known to man: Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, HBO Go, Netflix,
Pandora, Slacker, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Vudu, and literally
hundreds of others.
