rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bc0203 - The Garmin iQue M3 is the latest in Garmin's line of PDA/GPS combination devices. I purchased the M3 to replace a Streetpilot 2610 that had served well, but proved a bit bulky for travel and lacked MS Outlook integration (i.e., the ability to "route to"...

Mon, 29 Dec 2003 03:21:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bc0203 - The A4 is Audi's entry into the crowded entry-level luxury market, and as such it competes directly with the BMW 3 series, the Lexus 330is, and the Acura TSX. Two body styles (sedan and wagon), three engines (1.8L turbo 4, 3.0L V6, and 4.2L V8), four...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author bc0203 - One of the great promises of MP3 files is to have your entire music collection in a single place, for playback without having to flip through CDs. I do a lot of travelling, and have ripped most of CD collection to disc at a high bit rate (for high...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bc0203 - For people who travel at least an hour a day in their vehicle, XM radio is a wonderful thing - to have 100 channels of music and information at your fingertips, with over 40 commercial-free channels, will make even the most jaded radio listener's mouth...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bc0203 - I've been using Kyocera 2000 series phones for over two years now, and have a decent amount of money tied up in accessories such as data kits, chargers, batteries and car adapters. So, when Verizon introduced their high-speed 1X data network, and...
