Which search engine do you prefer? Google may seem dominant, but after we tested a bunch in our "Search Engine Shoot-Out" many readers responded with other favorites--even a few that we missed on our list.

The June release for the iPhone quickly approaches, and the fate of Apple's newest device is a hot topic. Read Eric Dahl's take on it in the latest Plugged In, then post your opinion.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite was launched last weekend, but judging from reader reactions, it's a giant fizzle. Take a look at our hands-on review, then let us know what you think of the new Xbox.

Also last week, Steve Jobs said that Apple customers want to own their music, not rent it in a subscription-based model. Do you think that's true? Would you rent music from iTunes if it had a subscription program? Take our Community Poll.

We end with product reviews from users like you. What TV shows golf as if it's in 3D? Check out the reviews to see! Help others who are searching for the perfect product (perhaps a Mother's Day gift?) by leaving your own reviews. Just go to PC World Shopping to look up the products that you own.

Search Engine Shoot-Out

bostondan says: How did you miss aftervote? It's practically leading the way in Web 2.0 social search.

blackcross says: The main beef I have with Google is that they refuse to search on URL name. That and Google Images is wrong more than 50 percent of the time.

Spaceman3750 says: AllTheWeb, AltaVista, and Ask should not be included in this article. They all use the Yahoo engine and site database, and therefore will render the same results as Yahoo would, just under a different name.

adorable says: Why even bother worrying about which search engine is the best? I simply use a multi-search engine search site like MetaCrawler, and voila! I get all of the possible results from Google, Yahoo, MSN, with only one quick search.

cordwainer says: So far, I've not found another Web search engine that lets me construct really complex queries, so Google will remain my first choice. But if anyone knows of another one, I'd love to hear about it!

iPhone, Therefore I Am

MVPCarl says: What are you talking about--no competitors to the iPhone anytime soon? Have you heard of the Helio Ocean? Combine the iPhone's choice in the slow EDGE network with the impractical touch screen and add the price of the iPhone along with the pricey data plan available through Cingular and you've got a device that doesn't appeal to many consumers.

gwaddangit07 says: Enjoy the four-hour battery life! No competition? Who cares! With all the problems the iPod has, this will most certainly be a nightmare for AT&T.

butlerwm says: Get over it... the iPhone will sell off the shelves and it has nothing to do with how practical it is. While the initial iPhone may not handle HSDPA you can bet the next incarnation will. Lastly, stop trying to compare the iPhone with existing products. Understand it represents the next generation of handheld computing devices.

Hands On: Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

deftdrummer says: The Elite is junk. Over two years of being on the market and now we get another slightly upgraded Xbox? HDMI improvement is great, but this should have been included in the original. Now there are three different models further confusing things. Give me a break--higher GB doesn't necessarily equate to higher unit sales a la iPod. Get it right, Microsoft.

PersianDark says: I'm confused... they have $250-dollar Xbox 360, and this one is $480 because it has a bigger hard drive and HDMI support? And it does not include the HD-DVD player? So that means you can't even have HDMI-quality content without spending an extra $200?

Captwoods1 says: I do agree that the price increase is a sham. The two things that I was excited about once I heard about the Elite 360 being released were built-in Wi-Fi and Microsoft finally releasing a reliable system, one that doesn't die on the user within 6 months like my first Premium 360 did. I was saddened (and a little frustrated) to see that the only updates would be HDMI and a larger hard drive. What a letdown this turned out to be.
