		<description><![CDATA[Geek-o-Meter: I'm going to give the RoverTv an "8" for effort. In my book, you get bonus points for innovation, and this is a very innovative little device that by and large exceeded my expectations. Yes, it has it's problems, the biggest among these an overly sensitive player that made outputting video to a TV screen a challenge. But, with a little practice, you can address this problem by re-encoding video through an application that RoverTv plays nicely with, like FFMPEG. Speaking of nice, it would be nice if, in the next revision, Doghouse added a jog wheel or touchscreen to control the device. And – dare I dream – a plug-in for iTunes that will allow you to use Apple's media manager to manage content directly on the RoverTv.

Despite these problems, the RoverTv is my now my favorite PMP for video playback. It's especially fun to download video podcasts meant for the iPod and play them on the RoverTv. Mmmm! That's good video!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geek-to-Meter: The Linksys CIT200 Cordless Internet Telephony Kit is a very good way to free you from having to hang around your PC while making Skype calls. Use the included belt clip and add a headset, and you can move throughout the house or office on the phone, completely untethered.

Sound quality, though not stellar, is strong and quite clear for the most part. We expect most users will be pleasantly surprised and we're giving it an "8" on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geek-o-Meter: The Sidekick 3 – with it's combination of design, functionality and incredible ease-of-use – is absolutely a "10" in our book. Unfortunately, T-Mobile's spotty coverage must invariably cost this excellent wireless communicator a point and drag the final score down to a "9", at least until we see this device offered by other providers or we see some improvement in T-Mobile's network.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geek-o-Meter: We give the T6534 a "8" for value and reliability. Yes, the built-in graphics controller is weak and it would be nice to see the base configuration offer a full 1GB or RAM, but otherwise it makes a great option for students or customers short on cash but not on need. Just avoid the LCD – there are better deals to be had.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geek-o-Meter: The VAIO FE570G scored a "6" on the Geek-o-Meter. For that sleek design and unrivaled display, Sony simply costs more. If you're on a budget, you can do better elsewhere. But it you just can't live without the look and feel of a Sony, the VAIO VGN-FE570G is a solid performer with competitive core features that'll suit most users just fine.]]></description>

Despite its gaming limitations, the Averatec 1150-EW1 offers reasonably high-performance for most mainstream tasks, such as office suite applications, Web site development, and image editing. We just wish it had a Core Duo, as so many of it's competitors now offer standard.]]></description>
