Digital cameras will be the hot ticket this holiday season. Some buyers will be digi-photo newbies, but there's also a legion of current digital-camera owners looking to upgrade. We wondered how important storage style is in selecting an upgrade. Do you want your next camera to be compatible with your current storage cards? Tell us how you choose in the forums. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1256-1-53-371668-120071-0-0-0-1 IN THIS ISSUE: * Dvorak Online: Withered Comdex * Special Report: Reader Satisfaction Survey -- ISPs * Review: The Message-Centric AT&T Wireless Ogo * Review Roundup: Supersonic Search Engines * Daily Gift Idea: One Big LCD TV * Product News: Do You Woot? * Product News: Samsung Adds Smart Phones ============================================================ Dvorak Online: Withered Comdex Once the largest technology trade show in the U.S., Comdex has vaporized. In its place? Nothing. Columnist John C. Dvorak says this is disastrous, and that with a little out- of-the-box thinking and gumption, a new kind of tech show could emerge. Or perhaps we'll have to comfort ourselves with CES in January. Read Dvorak's column and help him formulate some ideas in the forums. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1256-1-53-371668-120074-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Special Report: Reader Satisfaction Survey -- ISPs Your online service provider is your conduit to a world of online wonder--and also, at times, an endless source of frustration.

Unfortunately, it's also a one-trick pony, offering no phone or camera capabilities. The result? If you want the Ogo, you'll probably end up carrying two or three devices to enjoy your digital/mobile life. We have all the details in our review and slide show. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1256-1-53-371668-120080-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Review Roundup: Supersonic Search Engines Search is no longer the sleepy, "Google-has-it cornered" market it was just a few years ago.
