As with most people, I bought or was gifted, some new gizmos for the holiday season. Among my new acquisitions are:

1. Western Digital 1 terabyte MyBook drive
2. Toshiba HD-D3 HD-DVD player
3. Plantronics BlueTooth set
4. Sony Ericsson W580i cell phone - Mine’s the same, except for the black color

I am going to review these devices over the next few days as I use them. Unfortunately, I forgot to do the whole “unbox” thing a la Engadget! Oh well, none of these gizmos was particularly well-packed so I guess a straight, simple performance and looks review is all that I can do.
