Archos 5 Internet Tablet review

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:29:02 +0000

Running on the Android operating system, the Archos 5 Internet Tablet offers both ease of use and highly impressive performance. You can't access the Android Market, but videos look stunning on its huge touchscreen, and its audio quality is better than that of any previous Archos device

iriver P7 review

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 16:16:02 +0000

With its sleek aluminium body and large screen, the gorgeous iriver P7 touchscreen portable media player looks like it belongs in a modern art museum. The included PC software isn't great, but the unique touchscreen interface makes for a refreshing change and the P7's audio capabilities are good

Archos 10 review

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:27:02 +0000

The portable-media-player specialist's first netbook, the Archos 10, is a relatively attractive device with a fairly standard set of internal components. The 10-inch display's matte finish means it's equally usable indoors and out, and we appreciate the pre-installed antivirus software, but this netbook falls short in other areas

Archos 7 review

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 13:10:02 +0000

The gorgeous Archos 7 portable media player is an impressive performer that's especially good for watching movies on the go, thanks to its 7-inch TFT LCD touchscreen, which offers excellent picture quality. Unfortunately, if you want to use all the features it can offer, you'll have to pay extra

Cowon O2 review

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:23:02 +0000

Cowon's new O2 PMP follows on from the smashing Q5W and A3 of last year, but scraps hard disks in favour of flash memory and SD cards. It's one of the most exciting product releases of the year in the PMP category, so we were thrilled to get one of the first ever off the production line

Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet review

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:58:02 +0000

The Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet offers outstanding video performance and great Web capabilities, with the Opera Web browser pre-installed and support for Adobe Flash content included too. Though Archos has fixed some problems from earlier models, you still have to pay separately for extra codecs

Apple iPod classic (2nd gen) review

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:03:02 +0000

Apple's done it again -- its new 120GB iPod classic is a cut above the rest. This edition has more features, such as the Genius playlist tool, and allows you to watch very high-quality video on its 640x480-pixel resolution screen. As with all iPods, you'll have to stick with iTunes, and spring for better headphones, but still, this gadget rocks

Samsung i8 review

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:47:02 +0000

The Samsung i8 isn't just an 8.2-megapixel digital camera -- it's also a portable multimedia player, world tour guide, text viewer, storage device and voice recorder. There are a few downsides -- including some design flaws -- but as far as all-in-ones go, this camera performs well enough
