...Sony PictureStation DPP-EX50 (available in March for $180) has a longer, slimmer, rectangular profile and lets you insert MemoryStick or CompactFlash cards into slots on the device. While the DPP-EX50 takes longer to print each image (about 80 seconds in TIME's tests vs. 50 seconds for the P-10), the results were just as impressive. But unlike the P-10, the DPP-EX50 gives you the option of hooking up to your TV, via the yellow Video In port, for onscreen editing of images.

Many supporters called in at night, taking care to keep the lights off at home lest their neighbors suspect they...
...This partnership portends a stiff challenge to Chen come 2004. His DPP has never polled more than half the votes in a national election, and his term has been marked by an anemic economy, record unemployment, and an ineffectual legislature. Still, he has solid support in certain quarters, especially the south. What's more, Lien is an uninspiring campaigner and neither opposition party has yet articulated a compelling vision for Taiwan. Soong, of course, could still break off his engagement to Lien. But for now, the man who'd like to be king has once again positioned himself to play...
