Nokia N900 review

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 18:21:02 +0000

The N900 packs a truck load of features, including a slide-out Qwerty keyboard and the brand-new Maemo 5 operating system, into its chunky black body. This brave new handset does a good job of erasing from our brains the bitter disappointment caused by the N97

Vodafone 360 Samsung H1 review

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:08:02 +0000

Built around the Vodafone 360 service and sporting an innovative, contact-centric user interface, the Samsung H1 may well be just the ticket for social-networking fanatics. This handset takes a while to get used to but it's packed with features, not least a capacitive touchscreen, and speedy Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim review

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 13:56:02 +0000

The PlayStation 3 Slim is the best version yet of Sony's gaming console. Its gaming and media-playback capability is little changed, and Sony's cut some features, like Linux support, but it's smaller, quieter and, crucially, cheaper. If you've been holding off on buying a PS3, this is the version to go for

Dell Latitude 2100 review

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 09:43:02 +0000

Aimed primarily at the education market, the 10.1-inch Latitude 2100 sports an interesting set of features that distinguish it from the hordes of other Atom-powered netbooks on the market. Chief among these are an optional touchscreen and thick, rugged shell

Elonex ONEt+ review

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:08:02 +0000

With a rock-bottom price tag and plasticky design, we were all set to hate the 7-inch, Debian Linux-based ONEt+ netbook. But we couldn't. Surprisingly responsive, and very small and light, it's a great choice for children and undemanding adults seeking a straightforward ultra-portable

HTC Hero review

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:51:01 +0000

The HTC Hero is the best Android phone yet. Among many other delights, it boasts a great on-screen keyboard, multitouch functionality and an innovative user interface that smoothes over many of Android's rough edges. While it can occasionally be sluggish, it's a true rival to Apple's iPhone

Interead Cool-er review

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:34:02 +0000

The Cool-er ebook reader from UK start-up Interead isn't the speediest device of its type that we've ever seen, but it does offer a great e-ink display that's on a par with the printed page for readability. Transferring books, pictures and MP3 files onto it is also easy, and it supports a wide range of formats

HP Mini 110 review

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:40:01 +0000

The 10.1-inch Mini 110 is the less expensive successor to one of our favourite netbooks, the Mini 1000. It's slightly thicker and heavier than its sibling, but it offers the same performance, more ports and connections, and a hard-to-find matte display. Overall, it's a thoroughly respectable machine

HP EliteBook 8730w review

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:41:02 +0000

A gorgeous 17-inch DreamColour display is the standout feature of the workstation-class EliteBook 8730w, but it's not the only aspect of this laptop that helps justify the premium price tag. The 8730w also boasts superb performance, excellent build quality and a good keyboard

Samsung YP-P3 review

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:33:01 +0000

It's not a stretch to say the touchscreen YP-P3 is an audiophile's portable media player. It sounds stellar, packs an enormous amount of features into a compact package and boasts a gorgeous display. The user interface might take a while to get used to, but there's very little to complain about really
