Top-rated reviews of the week (pictures)
This week CNET's editors reviewed a great phone: the LG G2. OK, the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C were pretty great too. But what we really loved? iTunes Radio. Pandora is going to have to pander harder. In other news, some cameras, a nice all-in-one, and the automation-compatible lightbulb you've been waiting for.
iTunes Radio
iTunes Radio
It doesn't offer live radio streams or non-music options, but iTunes Radio is the new best way to listen to programmed radio on iOS. That's right, Pandora...myth busted. Read the review.
Apple iPhone 5S
Apple iPhone 5S
If you've already got an iPhone, you don't need a new one. Repeat: NEED. But the iPhone 5S is easily the fastest, the most advanced, and possibly the shiniest Apple smartphone to date. Read the review.
Apple iPhone 5C
Apple iPhone 5C
Buy a phone just for its cute case? Don't be silly. Getting an iPhone 5C because it's basically the excellent iPhone 5 in a cheery, $99 package...now that makes sense. Read the review.
LG G2
LG G2
If you're willing to live with some minor design compromises, you can't go wrong with the ultrafast LG G2 -- it's a workhorse and a racehorse, with an impressive photo finish. Read the review.
Dell Inspiron 23
"="">Dell Inspiron 23
A handful of worthwhile, unique features help the Dell Inspiron 23 all-in-one stand out among 23-inch desktops. Read the review.
TiVo Roamio Pro
TiVo Roamio Pro
So...remember TiVo? If you're willing to pay the premium price, the TiVo Roamio Pro is the best cable DVR yet and a capable do-it-all whole-home TV gadget. Read the review.
Seagate Slim
Seagate Slim
The Seagate Slim portable drive would be an excellent companion for your small laptop, especially if it has USB 3.0, for storage expansion and backup while you're out and about. Performance is fantastic and it works with Mac or PC. Read the review.
Canon PowerShot G16
Canon PowerShot G16
You could get better low-light photo quality for the money, but the Canon PowerShot G16 is better than the G15 and remains a nice enthusiast compact. Plus, it finally delivers solid continuous shooting. Read the review.
Nikon Coolpix L820
Nikon Coolpix L820
For those who value a long zoom lens, AA batteries, and saving a few bucks, the Nikon Coolpix L820 might be your point-and-shoot. Read the review.
Insteon LED Bulb
Insteon LED Bulb
At just $29.99 per bulb, the Insteon LED Bulb will fit nicely into existing home automation networks, serving as an appealing alternative to more expensive dimmer modules and smart switches. Read the review.
Deck by Sol Republic
Deck by Sol Republic
While it's priced about $50 too high, the Deck by Sol Republic is an appealing portable wireless speaker that delivers decent sound and superb wireless range. Heist mode lets your friends seize control of what's playing and shows whose device is in charge with colored LEDs; it's like the (really lazy) Twister of today. Read the review.
