>> reporter: matt? >> are you there? >> reporter: can you hear me now? he had to hold his phone to get it to pick up on the radio, at all. using his body as an antenna. then, we used mika's system. the gps interrupted her phone call. tom-tom cut off rebecca. >> sounds like you're in a bathroom. >> that's awesome. >> reporter: mika had a hurdle trying to update her phone contacts every time she turned the car on. >> the little thing is circling and syncing. i can't use it. >> reporter: for the speakerphone, no winner. back to our gps race. >> so far, so not so good. >> reporter: matt's gps took him off the freeway to avoid a traffic jam. mika runs into construction. but her cheaper gps system can reroute her. >> it give me a perfect route around it. >> reporter: in the end, matt got to the pier 20 minutes later than mika. you won. as for gps, cheaper was better. now, at the beach, it's near sunset and showtime. product number three, the handy hd camcorders. matt had the flip cam. cost under $200. mika had the sony camera. both record in high-definition. the sony camera wins in the zoom department. but the flip cam is handy, and much easier to use. when it comes to video quality, we're going to let you decide. i'm talking to matt's flip cam that costs under $200. now, i'm talking to mika's very high-end sony camcorder. the question, does this video make me look $1,000 better? final winner, the flip cam. while big-ticket tech products promise more features and better performance, sometimes budget is the best way to go. special thanks to both of our testers, who really did love that flip cam. now, we reached out to all of the companies whose products didn't get gold stars. and we start with the sony handicam. they told us, that camera is for serious video fans, who want manual controls, tighter zoom. plus, it comes with a large hard drive. no garmin, the maker of the high-end gps, says the best features are real-time search. the traffic feature is only as good as the feeds coming into it. and they're working to hone that feature. jupiter jack, the makers of the $10 hands-free speakerphone, they say it uses radio speaker frequencies to use your car's radio into hand - free cell phones. without the details of our test, they can't provide the answer to the issue. parrot says it's dependent on the interior noise on your car. and the sync issues were not typical for their users. bottom line, we went looking for the best product,'s of use, quality. and in two out of three of our tests, we found budget won out, robin. >> we're cheering for the flip cam here. a lot of us have that one. becky, thanks so much. >> pleasure. >> that was great. i love your testers. you can get more of becky's tips on our website. for toys, say t. toys ! the system can't process your response at this time. what ?
