Creative Zen Mozaic review

Reviews In our personal opinion, we hate these, mainly because kids use them excessively on buses. Creative effectively replaced the popular Zen Vision:M when it released the Zen last year, and now it's effectively taking the spotlight from the classic Zen...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200 review

Reviews Admittedly, you sometimes have to pull grins wide enough to swallow whole slices of toast and it does favour toothy beams over subtle smirks, but it's a great way of side-stepping shutter lag when you want nice pictures of restless kids.

Accessories and guarantees

Reviews It makes sense only if you have particularly rambunctious kids that could break your new, expensive TV; even then, you should read the terms very carefully to make sure they cover the risks in your situation.

Terratec Cinergy DT USB XS Diversity review

Reviews Your own results may vary, but we think it's worth trying -- anything that will keep the kids quiet on a long journey is worth a shot. Freeview may be the future of terrestrial television, but if you live in a reception black spot, it can be as...

Mcody M20 review

Reviews Why, we have no idea, but it'll appeal to the kids if nothing else. Mcody's M20 is a really slim, flash-based MP3 player, which at £69 for the 2GB version, is pretty affordable. We're all used to nice bright colour screens on our MP3 players these...

Nokia 2310 review

Reviews What's immediately obvious is that there's no camera at all, so forget about being able to take snaps of mates down the pub or the kids when they pull cute faces. Confused by all the extras offered on the latest mobile phones?

Panasonic DVD-LS90 review

Reviews There are two headphone outputs -- a necessity if you don't usually travel alone (or if you have two kids in the back of the car), but there isn't a carry case to keep the player protected on the move.

Intel Classmate PC review

Reviews While the e-Learning software is interesting, we especially liked that the Classmate can provide kids with the chance to get accustomed to the actual Microsoft software they're likely to encounter later in life.

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review

Reviews Included are standard shooting modes such as night-time, portrait and kids and pets. Compared to its siblings in Canon's IXUS line of compact point-and-shoot cameras, the top-end 800 IS packs more features into its small frame, rather than higher...

Samsung YP-T10 review

Reviews But it looks great and kids will love it. The YP-P2 is controlled with gesture-based touch and the new YP-T10 uses a purely touch-sensitive control pad. The T10 follows on from the success of both Samsung's popular YP-K3 and YP-T9 players of 2006.

Nikon Coolpix L2 review

Reviews Just don't plan on shooting the kids or pets. The 6-megapixel Nikon Coolpix L2 offers only the bare necessities for picture taking but, for its class, delivers excellent photos that require minimal effort.

Fujifilm FinePix F40fd review

Reviews If dividing your time between shooting kids and adults at a family gathering, you could switch between fast motion-capturing 'sport' and more sedate 'portrait'. With a high ISO rating promising good pictures in low light, is it worth its £150 price...
