Todo 1.1.1 for iPhone and iPod touch

There are plenty of simple to-do apps available for the iPhone--we reviewed a slew of them a few weeks back. But if you're looking for something with more functionality, Appigo's Todo 1.1.1 is one of the better options, and it doesn't require a Ph.D. in Getting Things Done (GTD) to figure out how to use it.

HP Pavilion dv7t desktop replacement laptop

The Pavilion dv7t is one of HP's "entertainment powerhouse" notebooks, just one step down from the ludicrously oversize 20-inch HDX. Beyond the 17-inch screen, and under the cool "liquid metal" exterior, lies Intel's new Centrino 2 processor. The result: high-octane performance in an extremely shiny package.

Madden NFL 09: The best Madden yet

Madden NFL 09 is not a revolution in football gaming. It doesn't deliver the best conceivable rendering of hulking frames lugging a rawhide-laced pigskin up and down a floodlit or sunlit field (though it is as close as you'll get outside a pro jersey and cleats). It doesn't present a radically different way to play the game either. Fullbacks and safeties and wide receivers do not fly on broomsticks with paddles, swatting footballs with wings. This is American football, not American Gladiators, and the basics haven't changed much over the years. Got all that? Expectations back on earth? Good. Now relax: Madden NFL 09 delivers a triumphant celebration of armchair quarterbacking, with a clever new adaptive difficulty mode, vital procedural animations, online league and franchise updates, and a battery of analytical tools.
