Sony Ericsson MBW-150 Music Edition watch review

Reviews The date is shown in the year, month and day format, which is the American rather than European way of doing things. Presumably this is because the watch is actually manufactured by Fossil, an American company.

Popcorn Hour A-100 review

Reviews When we heard about an American product called the A-100 from a company called Popcorn Hour, we couldn't help but get excited. It's easy to fail when you're making a media streamer. Many have tried to do it and almost all have come unstuck.

Microsoft Xbox review

Reviews This means that you can view all your games in the same way as our American counterparts, at full speed with images that are crisp and sharp. Microsoft's Xbox is a Trojan horse. The company has conquered the desktop and now seems intent on sneaking...

Dell Inspiron Mini 9 review

Reviews Our American cousins can knock the price down by opting for a smaller hard drive, less RAM, no webcam or using Ubuntu Linux OS. We've known for some time that Dell was working on a netbook-style laptop -- the same kind of small, low-power...

Sennheiser IE 7 sound-isolating earphones review

Reviews An old, live Shakira recording, back in the day when she focused on more traditionally Latin-American and Spanish-influenced rock, rather than mainstream pop, was full of Spanish guitars, pianos, bongos and maracas.

Sennheiser PXC 450 headphones review

Reviews To really push the headphones' breaking point, we lined up a powerful song from American thrash metallers Unearth. At £299, they're aimed at a high-end consumer who's after terrific sound accuracy primarily when on the move, such as a business...

Nissan DV100 review

Reviews If you decide to do this and then subsequently import an American DVD, the player will not fall victim to the annoying judder of NTSC-PAL conversion. Usually originating from the Far East, brands such as Liteon, Mustek and Lafayette are shipping...

Dell E207WFP review

Reviews The final kick in the teeth is that us Brits pay £272 while our American counterparts pay $260 (£136). The world and its grandmother clamoured after it -- 20-inch widescreen displays typically retail upwards of £300, so the E207WFP was a breath of...

Mcody M20 review

Reviews Mid-range sound on American Girls by Counting Crows was clear and bright, and the high-range classical melodies of the operatic classic Naturaleza Muerta, performed by Sarah Brightman, were sharp and full-bodied.

Philips GoGear SA6025 review

Reviews Similarly, the broad span of mid-range sounds in Counting Crows' track American Girls is well reproduced. The new Philips GoGear comes in three versions: the SA6015 (1GB), the SA6025 (2GB) and the SA6045 (4GB).

LG FM37 review

Reviews Highs of the Counting Crows track, American Girls, were clear and well defined. With a large touchscreen navigation system, support for high-quality video playback and a ravishing design, we have high hopes for this splendid little beast.

Toshiba 32WL56 review

Reviews The television boasts high-definition compatibility, with the ability to display 480p, 576p, 720p and 1080i video.p and 576p are terms for NTSC (American and Japanese) and PAL (European) video, and if you're using a progressive-scan DVD player...
