Besides all the Windows 7 flavors we told you about , Bloomberg is reporting that there won’t just be one Windows 7 Netbook Edition , there will “several editions.” What the eff. Let’s just say, conservatively, that “several” netbook editions means four of them. (A couple would be two, a few would be 3-4, so several, to us, means at least four.)

Cisco Linksys’ Wireless Home Audio system is a direct competitor to Sonos in the land of room-to-room streaming music. But WHA is more ambitious, with promises of iPod compatibility, touchscreen remotes and 802.11n support. Price: $1000 (as tested) The Verdict: Despite having some great ideas, the WHA system lacks any semblance of reliable quality and performance. It felt rushed and unpolished, whether it was the cheap feel of the products—a collection of wireless players and a controller, all which you’d buy a la carte to suit your household needs—or the glitchiness of system software. When it was working, the ability to push and share content from one zone to another, connect to internet music services and connect your own devices directly were all very nice.

Unless you jailbreak your iPhone to install Intelliscreen , your iPhone’s wallpaper is static and pretty, at best. But two apps, Wallpaper Labeler and gCalWall Lite , let you add appointments and notes to the home screen. With Wallpaper Labeler , you can enter any text you want to your wallpaper, so you can leave yourself (or whoever finds your phone) notes. The other app, gCalWall is more of what I’m looking for: It pulls down upcoming appointments from your default Google Calendar and splays them all over your home screen. You have to update it manually, which is kind of a drag, but the dev says that iPhone API won’t allow for automatic updating =((((. Still, pretty handy
