E-vri-thin by Convergenics

CNET editors' review

The good: Compact, mobile, flexible convergence device; interfaces with an astonishing array of devices, ranging from electronics to common household items; easy to install or attach.

The bad: Attachments can be bulky; $399 price tag seems extremely high; no external controls; flimsy styrofoam construction; fragile interface methods.

The bottom line: The E-vri-thin is the ultimate convergence gadget, since it can interface with, well, everything. We only wish it combined those functions into a single, portable gadget or performed any discernible function whatsover.
