RED indicates Editors’ Choice. PROS CONS BOTTOM LINE
MOBILE APPS (iPHONE)
Spore Origins
$6.99 direct
    
• Easy for casual gamers to pick up
• Fun creature editor
• Game play is repetitive on most levels
• Evolutionary stages are limited to undersea
adaptation
Spore Origins gives you a taste of the PC version of

this evolution game, including the ability to add new
elements to your creatures. Unfortunately, the repeti-
tive levels of play that this iPhone title offers could
stand a little more diversity.
MobileFiles Pro
$9.99 direct
    
• Full editing of Excel 2003 docs
• Transfers files to and from desktops via Wi-Fi
• Allows access to MobileMe files
• No Word document editing
• No cut-and-paste
Business iPhone users will welcome the ability to
edit Excel spreadsheets and easily transfer them
over Wi-Fi to and from desktop systems. But if you’re
a serious spreadsheet jockey, you should stick with
Mobile Excel.
eReader 1.3
Free
    
• Free
• Flexible text formatting
• Good interface defaults
• Easy bookmarking
• Getting new books is harder than it should be The eReader does a decent job of presenting books
on your iPhone, and the dictionary option is handy,
but acquiring reading matter needs to be easier, and
the software should support more file formats.
Stanza
Free

    
• Free
• Flexible text formatting
• Large free library available
• All major e-book file formats accepted
• Converts text, Web, and PDF documents
• No undo
• Highlighting text for cutting and copying is a
bit awkward
• Can’t edit Office docs
With support for a broad range of content, Stanza is
the most versatile e-book application for the iPhone.
Photogene
$2.99 direct
    
• Good range of editing tools
• Pleasant interface
• Responsive controls
• Many features
• Scales to the iPhone’s full resolution
• Can’t shoot photos from within app
• Tiny, crowded mode buttons
• Effects are strictly photographic
The scope of Photogene’s editing tools—which
include many that other iPhone photo-editing apps
lack—makes this a very appealing app.
CameraBag 1.4
$2.99 direct
    
• Converts images to any of nine classic or

creative photo styles
• Easy to preview images and save them in
multiple styles
• Four image resolutions
• Can’t tweak images beyond setting the basic
style
• Somewhat crash-prone
Whether you’re a nostalgia buff, a photography
student, or just someone who wants to spruce up your
iPhone photos, the easy-to-use CameraBag lets you
remake your images in various photographic styles.
SECURITY
DigitalPersona Personal 4.0
With U.are.U fingerprint reader,
$69.95 direct; without, $29.95;
fingerprint-based file encryp-
tion, $14.95 additional
    
• Effective touch-style fingerprint reader
• Fingerprint log-in to Windows
• Manages username/password credentials for
Web sites and programs
• Checks for strong passwords
• Must save account credentials manually
• No user-defined names for accounts
• No automatic generation of strong passwords
• Lacks sharing and true reporting features
DigitalPersona Personal 4.0 stores, applies, and rates
your passwords. Both the password manager and its
associated fingerprint reader are attractive and easy

to use. DigitalPersona offers fingerprint-based Win-
dows log-in and an extra-cost file encryption module.
a-squared
Anti-Malware 4.0
$39.95 direct
    
• Blocked every malware sample from launching
• Warns of malware-like behaviors
• Community-based alert reduction limits pop-up
queries
• Identified several perfectly valid programs as
malware
• Did a poor job of cleaning up malware
• Disabled two test systems by quarantining
Windows Explorer
a-squared’s near-perfect malware blocking perfor-
mance is tainted by its erroneous identification of
valid programs as malware. In testing, it did a poor
job of cleaning up infested systems. You can get
better protection for the same price with Webroot or
Spyware Doctor.
Lavasoft Anti-Virus Helix
$23.95 direct
    
• Antivirus engine is highly praised by indepen-
dent labs
• Very effective at preventing installation of
non-virus malware
• Successfully removed many non-virus malware
infestations

• Rootkit protection is turned off by default
• Needs to work alongside an antispyware
product for comprehensive protection
• Full scan is interrupted by pop-up queries by
default
The Avira engine that powers Lavasoft’s stand-alone
antivirus is surprisingly effective against non-virus
malware types, but it still needs to work alongside an
antispyware solution for comprehensive protection.
CA Internet Security
Suite Plus 2009
$79.99 direct
    
• Advanced program control blocks “leak tests”
• Browser-independent parental control
• Firewall stealths all ports
• Prevents accidental transmission of user-
defined private data
• Includes system migration tool
• Advanced program control damages valid
programs
• Big performance drag
• Antivirus not highly rated by independent labs
• Poor malware removal and blocking
• Backup very rudimentary
There’s little to love in this Frankenstein’s monster
of a suite. Patched together from many separate
mediocre tools, it put the biggest drag on system
performance of any suite tested. Save ten bucks and
get Norton’s suite (or Trend Micro’s) instead.

MUSIC
Slacker for BlackBerry
Basic, free; Slacker Premium
Radio, $7.50 monthly
    
• Streaming Internet Radio
• Station caching
• All the functionality of Slacker.com
• Free
• Slow to load streaming stations
• Requires BlackBerry OS 4.3 or later
With easy, free, customizable Internet radio, this app
delivers on the multimedia promises that so often are
made in BlackBerry’s television commercials.

The Z55 brings Intel’s Core i7
to a high-performance gaming
system. Though not quite as
expensive as the systems in the

certainly competitive with those
