Hand-on Review: Parrot ZiK Headphones

Hand-on Review: Parrot ZiK Headphones

Created by acclaimed designer Philippe Starck, the ZiK has a slick touch-sensing control that lets you adjust volume and skip tracks with a swipe of your finger. Every physical aspect of the ZiK reveals thoughtful, polished industrial design. The controls work intuitively and, in my experience, flawlessly.

Hands-on Review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100

Hands-on Review: Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T

Microsoft's new Windows 8 isn't sure if it's a tablet OS or a computer OS. But the Samsung ATIV Smart PC 500T (about $700) has no such doubts: it comes with no keyboard. For better or worse, it's a true Windows tablet. And, as it turns out, a very good one.
