It's hurricane season, a time when weather watching turns from a casual action into something of a spectator sport. You know what we mean. You start watching the Weather Channel each morning or find yourself checking and rechecking various weather sites throughout the day. Or do you? How are you tracking the likes of Bonnie, Charley, and whatever comes next (Danielle)? Are you using Accuweather, Weatherbug, Weather.com, or something else? Tell us if you visit sites, use desktop apps, or have your own weather station set up outside your office window. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1015-1-1-371668-92798-1 IN THIS ISSUE: * Powerful Digital Cameras for Under $1,300 * News: Windows XP SP2 Schedule Leaks * Review: A Top-Class Compact Camera * Product News: AOL's Cheap PC * Special Report: Inside Intel's Wireless Labs * Review: The New Apple iPod ============================================================ Powerful Digital Cameras for Under $1,300 You don't have to mortgage your home to own a high-end, pro- level digital camera.

Read all the reviews and get ready to start taking shots like the pros. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1015-1-1-371668-92801-1 ============================================================ News: Windows XP SP2 Schedule Leaks Wondering when you'll get the Service Pack 2 update? We have the unofficial schedule. Plus, we've updated our slide show with images from our own update experience. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1015-1-1-371668-92804-1 ============================================================ Review: A Top-Class Compact Camera The new Canon PowerShot S60 requires somewhat large and deep pockets (it's a little oversized to be called a shirt-pocket shooter and costs $500), but with a wealth of features, 5 megapixels, and a 3.6X zoom lens, the PowerShot looks like it may be worth a little tailoring. Read our full review for more details and don't miss our product slide show to see what a category-leading product looks like from all sides. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1015-1-1-371668-92807-1 ============================================================ Product News: AOL's Cheap PC America Online plans on offering a $300 PC to those who subscribe for at least a year. It's a decent system, but what does AOL hope to accomplish with the not-exactly-new strategy? We have the answers in our analysis. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1015-1-1-371668-92810-1 ============================================================ Special Report: Inside Intel's Wireless Labs Ever since Intel launched its Centrino line of wireless chipsets, it's been big on wireless computing. Now the company is apparently pushing its own products to the wireless limit in its one-of-a-kind wireless lab, which is actually a house. We took the tour and got the lowdown on these uninhabited digs. Read our report and take the virtual tour with our slide show. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1015-1-1-371668-92813-1 ============================================================ Review: The New Apple iPod We got excited when we saw our first preproduction model of the new iPod. Sure, the 4th-generation player isn't exactly a radical redesign, but the changes, subtle as they were, made us think that the iPod might have recaptured the digital music- player flag (iRiver won our Editor's Choice award in our last MP3 roundup). Now we've got the full review of the cheaper, lighter, and easier-to-use player. Guess who's on top now? Read contributing editor Bill Machrone's full review for all the details. http://eletters.pcmag.com/zd1/cts?d=81-1015-1-1-371668-92816-1 ============================================================ The PCMag.com Bookstore PC Magazine's Windows XP Solutions Ever wish they'd consulted you before they designed Windows XP?
