2013 Ford Focus ST

2013 Ford Focus ST

A very rewarding car to drive, the 2013 Ford Focus ST will satisfy enthusiasts on weekend runs and the daily commute, but the cabin tech is a mixed bag, with the excellence of Sync offset by the navigation system interface. Read the review.

Pandora for iOS

Pandora for iOS

Pandora for iOS is an excellent app for listening to and discovering new music. The ads are nowhere near as intrusive as broadcast radio, and for a tailored music experience, they are a small price to pay. Read the review.

Barnes & Noble Nook HD

Barnes & Noble Nook HD

The Barnes & Noble Nook HD can't match competing tablets in media-library breadth, but as long as you're not looking for bells and whistles, its sharp screen and comfortable body make it an ideal tablet choice for reading books and magazines. Read the review.
