Nikon Coolpix P3 review

Reviews Typically, you'll want to run the camera in ad-hoc mode, which lets you transfer directly to a nearby Wi-Fi-enabled computer. First, you must decide whether you want to connect in Ad-hoc (directly to a wireless-capable computer) or Infrastructure...

It's playback time: Freeview hard-drive recorders

Reviews But they're not just one big recorder -- these devices will buffer the current channel on the same hard drive, meaning you can pause live TV, rewind through what you've been watching and cut out the ad breaks.

Apple Mac Mini (1.25GHz) review

Reviews First, it created a revolutionary operating system, Mac OS X, then it launched the 'Switch' ad campaign, with former Windows users frankly explaining why they like Macs better. Apple has tried everything to get Windows users to switch to the Mac.

Humax PVR-8000T (80GB) review

Reviews This means you can do anything from pause the programme at any time, fast forward through the ad breaks and schedule recordings for the future. With Freeview now available in over 80% of UK homes, the free-to-air service can really claim to have...

Sony Handycam HDR-SR5E review

Reviews As we've said before -- and will repeat ad nauseam -- the 69mm (2.7-inch) LCD is too small for comfortable touchscreen operation. With its £500 street price, HD video support, hard-disk-based recording and Sony provenance, the Handycam HDR-SR5E...

Sony Walkman NWZ-A815 review

Reviews There's a quirky 'Time Machine Shuffle' option that creates ad-hoc playlists of tracks from randomly selected years of release. Earlier in the year, we took a look at the first devices in Sony's A-Series of players, notably the NW-A808.

HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One review

Reviews Other printers make you pour through pages and pages of instructions and ultimately force you to set up the connection via an ad-hoc network, but the C8180 distills the process down to a simple pairing between the printer and your computer.

Archos 604 WiFi review

Reviews Also, there is no ad hoc mode so you can't connect directly with other 604 WiFi devices, unless you do so via the network. Basically, the 604 WiFi is the 604 (read the review) with integrated Wi-Fi and a touchscreen.

Razer DeathAdder review

Reviews Razer's ad hoc approach doesn't work half as well. At around £40, Razer's mouse is about the same price, but the DeathAdder offers much more customisability and is also more accurate. That alone will be enough to sway the gamers in the audience.

Nokia 6234 review

Reviews It's great to see infrared in a handset -- it's so much easier to share files on an ad hoc basis using this than it is with Bluetooth. The unsophisticated looks of this handset underscore great ergonomics though, with well-designed keys that are...

Humax PVR-9200T review

Reviews This means you can rewind something that you've missed (a great goal in football for example), pause live TV while you go and make a cup of tea, or if you're 'timeslipping' (watching a programme from the beginning while it's still recording), fast...

Philips LX7500R review

Reviews And of course, if you use a DVD+RW disc, you can edit down your recording and cut out the ad breaks. Think about it -- the average household is likely to have at least a DVD player/recorder, Freeview/Sky receiver and games console, while a good...

Terratec Cinergy T2 review

Reviews Experienced timeslippers sometimes prefer to pause the beginning of a programme and then start watching it 15 minutes afterwards, so that they can jump in and skip the ad breaks as they happen. We've seen some very small Freeview boxes, but this...

Archos Pocket Video Recorder AV420 review

Reviews You can start and stop recordings manually, specify a recording length (helpful if you want to edit ad breaks), or set the AV420 to record certain channels at certain times. The Archos Pocket Video Recorder AV420 builds on the superlative...

Nokia 6110 Navigator review

Reviews You should definitely try the hilarious text-to-speech function, which barks out texts in the style of a 1980s Barrett Homes TV ad voiceover, with a digital edge. Using Route 66 software, it promises ultra-accurate positioning with online-assisted...
