Windows 7 / Magic Jack / Broadband HDTVs / Prepaid Phones
In today's TOURBUS, you'll get a sneak peek at Windows 7, the next big thing from Microsoft. I've also got the scoop on Magic Jack phone service, and Internet-connected HD televisions. You'll find out if a prepaid cell phone can save you money, and which portable DVD player to buy. Oh, and there may be a terabyte in your future. Read on!
 
 


 
WINDOWS 7 IS COMING
 
Windows 7 does not sleep... it waits. My apologies to Chuck Norris, but will the eagerly awaited successor to Vista be a winner in the marketplace?

Some pundits are saying that Windows 7 will be everything that Vista should have been. Others are saying it will be the death of Linux. Read on for a preview of what to expect in Windows 7...


 
IS MAGIC JACK A SCAM?
 
A reader asked me, "I've seen commercials for Magic Jack, a device you can plug into your computer for really cheap phone service. It sounds too good to be true, is Magjc Jack a scam?"

I'll admit my first impression was that this is probably just another cheesy "As Seen on TV" gadget, and the MJ website did little to change that. Read on to see what I discovered with a little research into Magic Jack...


 
INTERNET CONNECTED HD TELEVISIONS
 
Relax, it's not WebTV all over again. Internet capable HD televisions (also called Broadband HDTVs) connect directly to your Internet router, enabling browsing the Web on your big screen, and integration of entertainment services like Netflix and interactive TV Widgets with your television.

Here's the scoop on 5 new Internet Connected HDTVs...


 
PREPAID CELL PHONES
 
For people who use cell phones sparingly, a pay-as-you-go cell phone option can be a very good choice. Can you save money with a prepaid cell phone, or is a traditional service contract better for you?

Check out the prepaid cellular offferings from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile or Tracphone...


 
PORTABLE DVD PLAYERS
 
These handy devices can keep kids happily mesmerized in the car or on a flight. Even grownups can use them during a commute or on the exercise machine.

I checked out several of them and came up with six favorites, based on features, intended audience and price. Here's my list...


 
TERABYTE HARD DRIVES
 
You can get a terabyte hard drive (1000 gigs) for under $100 now. But do you really need that much disk space? And are these monster drives as fast and reliable as smaller drives?

Get the scoop and find out if you should buy a terabyte hard drive...


 
Here's Your Stimulus Package...
 
All the turmoil on Wall Street is a good reminder that we need to take CONTROL of OUR OWN FINANCIAL SITUATION. My good friend Leo Quinn has a ridiculously simple plan that can virtually guarantee that you will be debt free in 10 years or less -- including your mortgage. He's helped over 18,212 people do exactly that. I call it LEO-nomics, he calls it "How To Own Your Paycheck Again!"
