Album art, a color screen, a humongous hard drive--all great additions to the iPod. But there are some pesky hang-ups that keep the iPod Photo from being crowned "King of Portable Multimedia." Find out what they are in our online review. (4 stars) http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1241-4-54-252229-118022-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ MSN Search has all the Answers The name might not be catchy enough to become a verb, but MSN Search is going toe-to-toe with Google in plenty of other ways. Tired of getting billions of results instead of a simple answer? Ask MSN Search to "define syzygy" or name Ulysses S. Grant's vice president, and it will. Or, if you do like getting a flood of results back, MSN Search can help you there, too, by searching almost a billion more pages than Google. To find o ut more, see our online review. (3.5 stars) http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1241-4-54-252229-118025-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Editors' Choice: Legal File Sharing for Free Looking for a free and easy way to swap files with family and friends? Grouper is a free app that sets up a file-sharing network with your loved ones, letting you stream music, swap photos, transfer files, and send instant messages. And it's legal (at least, we think it is). See our online review for full details. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1241-4-54-252229-118028-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Print for the Finish Line Fast and compact, the HP LaserJet 2420d is a rare combination of speed and performance. The monochrome laser is small enough to fit on your desk, and the 30-ppm engine won't keep you waiting. But the real bonus is the print quality--the 2420d got a perfect 5-star score for text printing. Get the details online now.
