Mon, 07 Dec 2009 11:30:02 +0000

The new iPod shuffle has no buttons and requires you use the cheap bundled headphones that come with it. Not impressed? Here are four must-see alternatives to consider

Best touchscreen phones

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 10:24:02 +0000

Ever since Apple wowed us with its nifty iPhone, everyone is gagging for a screen they can touch. Here are four of our favourite sensitive handsets, including the iPhone 3GS, plus models from HTC and Palm

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 review

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:47:01 +0000

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 doesn't look like anything special, but it successfully tackles a problem that plagues most other ultra-compact cameras: slow performance. It's also easy to use, small and lightweight, and produces good photos. As such, it's well worth a look for people prone to pointing and shooting

Advent Milano review

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:11:02 +0000

The 10.2-inch Milano doesn't break any new netbook ground, but it's not without its charms either. It's cheap for one thing, although you wouldn't know that by looking at it, and its nearly full-size keyboard is comfortable to type on. Its matte display is also pleasing, appearing crisp and bright in all lighting conditions

Acer Aspire One D250 Android review

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:15:02 +0000

The 10.1-inch Aspire One D250 Android is a netbook with a difference. It not only has Windows XP installed but also Android, which allows you to quickly boot the system for access to rudimentary apps, such as a Web browser. Its battery life is good, and it's an attractive machine too

Nokia N97 mini review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:53:02 +0000

Nokia has put the fat old N97 on a diet, and the result is the N97 mini. It's a very similar handset to its larger sibling when it comes to features and functionality, but its sleeker design is a definite improvement, and, despite having a slightly smaller screen and less memory, it's a more desirable smart phone overall

Samsung R520 review

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:19:02 +0000

The 15.6-inch R520 desktop-replacement laptop is well worth a look if you're seeking a budget machine primarily intended for handling productivity tasks at home. Its graphics capability could be better, but it offers decent overall performance, a great keyboard and good battery life

Acer Aspire One Pro 531 review

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:30:02 +0000

It may be specifically aimed at business users, but the 10.1-inch Aspire One Pro 531 runs with the netbook pack when it comes to its specification. Its extra-long battery life is a definite plus point though, and its no-nonsense design will undoubtedly appeal to some

Samsung X120 review

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:38:02 +0000

The 11.6-inch X120 is our favourite ultra-portable laptop with an ultra-low-voltage processor so far. Its battery life isn't its strongest feature, but it's an ideal size, it has a well-judged specification, and its price tag is very tempting. Its low-key design is also very appealing

HTC HD2 review

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:38:02 +0000

Hail the current king of Windows Mobile smart phones. With a huge, 109mm capacitive touchscreen, a plethora of features and its beautiful HTC Sense user interface, the responsive and speedy HD2 achieves the near impossible -- making Windows Mobile desirable
