Hands-on Review: SmrtCase SmrtWallet for iPhone
I first came across SmrtCase, a mobile phone accessory manufacturer based in New Brunswick, NJ, back in April whilst strolling the back alleys at CTIA WIRELESS 2010. The interesting design of the polymer Glide case, which incorporates a card slot on its back (more on this below) is what first caught my eye. But after perusing through the rest of the tiny booth, the item I really fell in love with was the SmrtWallet, a faux leather sleeve that doubles as a wallet. So you can imagine my excitement when the latter arrived on my desk.

Hands-on Review: Toshiba Regza 46UX600 DLNA-certified HDTV
Toshiba says its new Regza UX600 LED-backlit LCD TVs are "the first DLNA-certified televisions recognized by Microsoft as compatible with Windows 7." In English, that means that you should be able to able to use your TV remote to "pull" content from a Windows 7 PC, or use a Windows 7 PC to "push" content to the TV - and that it should all be easy.
