More Sling Player Upgrades Coming

Pogue reviews the Slingbox Solo, but the news is that the Sling Client is getting an upgrade in the shape of local pause and rewind controls. That’s cool because you don’t have to deal with the stream delay while trying to rewind or pause the TiVo back home remotely. The upgrade, due in a month,…

Pogue Reviews Waterproof Cams, Sanyo Xacti E1 Floats Above the Competition

Pogue takes a a few waterproof cams down to the local waterpark for testing and finds Sanyo’s 6MP Xacti E1 to be of better image and video quality than the rest.
