6 Target Rolls Out the Back-to-School Deals
Like any other Target fanatic, I try to stay on top of the sales and deals year-round, but they get especially juicy around back-to-school time.

At this year's CES, announcements came of Skype teaming up with Sony, allowing you to make free calls to any of the other 246 million Skype members over the PSP's wifi connectivity. The free calling goodness will be limited to the Slim PSP though, which means the rest of us will have Read more
I know people often expect the "best" gadget in a category to be universal, however it seems each country's portable player tastes are as unique as their native cuisine. This month's WWD Magazine featured a fun insert with a list of the coolest portable digital players from around the world. Italians pick the Zen Vision M by Creative as the coolest portable player. The Zen Vision, $374, has long Read more
