LG BD390 review

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:26:02 +0000

LG has done a sterling job of creating an affordable Blu-ray player that packs in the features, including Wi-Fi connectivity, without compromising on performance. Those who love movies and want to break down the barrier between their PC and TV should check it out

Samsung Genio Touch review

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:34:02 +0000

Aimed at young 'uns, the touchscreen Genio Touch is cheap, attractive and full of smart-phone-like features. There's no on-screen Qwerty keyboard, 3G or Wi-Fi connectivity, but its media-playback capability is good and it's a solid budget handset overall

HTC Touch2 review

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:00:00 +0000

The diminutive Touch2 is the first smart phone we've seen that runs Windows Mobile 6.5, and we're pleased to say that, although not perfect, the operating system is an improvement over previous versions. The Touch2 also benefits from access to the satisfying My Phone online syncing service, and Microsoft's app store

Dell Studio One 19 review

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:17:02 +0000

The 18.5-inch Studio One 19 brings some good ideas to the all-in-one-PC table, including an optional touchscreen. We're not massive fans of its appearance, but, if you're looking for a desktop PC that takes up relatively little space, is easy to set up and reduces cable clutter, it's well worth a look

Toshiba TG01 review

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:16:02 +0000

The TG01 is a cool-looking Windows Mobile smart phone that packs tonnes of features into an attractive, thin body. It also sports a powerful 1GHz Snapdragon processor and a relatively huge and vibrant touchscreen. It's not the king of touchscreen phones, but it'll certainly elicit a few oohs and aahs

Digital Vision GiGo review

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 14:09:01 +0000

The GiGo Freeview personal video recorder doesn't have the best build quality you'll ever encounter and it's a fairly ugly piece of kit. But it does what it does -- recording programmes to USB storage -- very well, and will appeal to those who want to take their TV out and about

Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 (X series) review

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:59:02 +0000

The Sony Walkman NWZ-X1050 is a pricy portable media player, but it offers some distinct advantages over its rivals. Chief among them are its effective on-board noise-cancelling technology, excellent OLED touchscreen and truly fantastic audio quality. But is it better than the iPod touch?

Wyplay Wyplayer review

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 11:38:02 +0000

Combining a media streamer and Freeview personal video recorder in one, the Wyplayer is a terrific piece of kit that offers loads of useful features. It's fairly expensive and the remote control needs some tweaking, but this device does a comprehensive job really well

Palm Pre (US version) review

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:32:02 +0000

It's not without its flaws, but, when the Pre's good, it's very good. Its multitasking functionality and notifications system, for example, are streets ahead of the competition, and the webOS is a really solid and stable platform. The iPhone may still have the edge but Palm is back in the game

Acer Tempo X960 review

Fri, 29 May 2009 11:54:01 +0000

Among Acer's first forays into touchscreen smart phone territory, the Tempo X960 on paper looks like a Windows Mobile 6.1 device that ticks all the right boxes. With HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity for speedy Web browsing, can it strike fear into the hearts of its rivals?
