Review: Word War for iPhone
This game lets you flex your command of English as you and an opponent build words, letter-by-letter, until you can't build anymore. And who knows -- the game just might have some educational value too.

Review: TweetDeck for iPhone

Review: Time Capsule
Apple's latest Time Capsules are what any good networking and backup devices should be: easy to set up, manage, and forget about. If you're replacing an older base station and want to use Time Machine to back up multiple Macs, the new Time Capsule is well worth it.
Review: AirPort Extreme Base Station
The 2009 version of the AirPort Extreme Base Station packs in a ton of features, as well as speed, into a small, reasonably priced package. If you’re looking to replace your current Wi-Fi router, you can’t go wrong with the AirPort Extreme. If you’re running a small business, the new guest network feature alone might be worth the $179 price tag.
Review: RemoteTap for iPhone
RemoteTap lets you remotely control a Mac using your iPhone or iPod touch on a wireless network. It also works over the 3G network, but you’ll need to take extra precautions to keep your data safe.
Review: MacWireless 200 Mbps Powerline Network Adapter
The Powerline Network Adapter may not be the most price-effective way to extend a home network, but in homes where there’s a lot of Wi-Fi interference, or where there’s a long distance between your router and a desired area for Internet access, power line networking can be effective.
Review: Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router
Linksys has tried to improve the WRT610N and make it easier for Mac users to work with. But it has not succeeded. All the problems found could be solved through firmware updates to fix obvious bugs, and better packaging and explanation of its software.
Review: Teleport for iPhone
Teleport is an expensive but full-featured application to view and control other Macs and Windows machines on your network.
Review: Mocha VNC and Mocha VNC Lite for iPhone

Review: Final Cut Server 1.1

Review: MobileMe 1.0
MobileMe is a rebranded .Mac, but the service offers one stellar feature that may convince new people to subscribe. Some information can now be synchronized among devices as it changes.
Review: Sierra Wireless Compass 597 USB modem
The Sierra Wireless Compass 597 is the ultimate cellular data modem combo. The device folds high-speed data access and GPS service into a tiny USB cell modem and pairs it with new Mac OS X software that takes full advantage of the new hardware.
Review: VPN Tracker 5.2 virtual private network software
VPN Tracker 5.2, a versatile tool for those who need more than the standard VPN client, simplifies the creation and management of multiple virtual private network connections.
Review: DroboShare network storage
DroboShare is a companion product for Data Robotics' Drobo that let you share a Drobo's storage to other computers on the same network. Just as Drobo deftly shields the user from the technical details of RAID, DroboShare aims to keep things simple by eschewing the more complex—but more secure—granular access controls found in traditional Networked Attached Storage products.
Review: AirPort Express
If you don’t need the features unique to Apple’s AirPort Extreme Base Station, the new Express is an affordable and portable alternative with advantages of its own, although it doesn’t match the Extreme’s performance.
Review: Time Capsule

For voice chat users who spend a lot of time near a Mac (but not right in front of it), the DialogPhone provides more freedom and mobility than a Bluetooth headset.
Review: AirPort Extreme Base Station
This isn't just a minor update to the AirPort Extreme Base Station Apple introduced earlier this year. By adding Gigabit Ethernet, Apple has boosted performance, raising the bar for its wireless networking product.
AirPort Extreme Base Station
Apple's new AirPort Extreme Base Station may have been a long time coming, but it's worth the wait for anyone whose network needs either greater speed or longer distance. While cheaper 802.11n gateways are already on the market, none matches Apple's for features or ease of setup.
