The much-anticipated e-mail client from Mozilla.org is as feature-laden as Outlook, but takes up much less space. And it's free, to boot. Will users take to it as they have to Mozilla's flagship freeware, Firefox? Check out our online review to see what our experts had to say about it. (4 stars) http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1373-4-54-252229-136211-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Fishing for Phishers Cloudmark is expanding its excellent spam-fighting service to join the battle against phishing and e-mail scams with its SafetyBar 4.0.

(4.5 stars) http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1373-4-54-252229-136214-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Type Casting Neo The AlphaSmart Neo is good for one thing: Typing. The mini laptop is basically just a keyboard with a monochromatic screen--perfect for school typing classes, but not much good for the rest of us. On the plus side, it's unhackable and boasts an amazing battery life of around 700 hours. Read our expert review to find out more about the Neo.
