HTC Touch Diamond review

Reviews It's simple, but very fun: you use the phone's motion sensor to navigate a ball into a hole by moving the whole phone. You can 'feel' the ball bumping into the sides of a wall and the pressure of it dropping into the hole.

Sony RHT-G800 review

Reviews These systems range from very good to utterly useless, but offer a decent solution for those not prepared to turn their front room into a gigantic ball of wire. Surround sound is one of the greatest inventions in home entertainment -- nothing...

Dell UltraSharp 2408WPF review

Reviews Rest assured, it does not drop the ball on the basics.Additional editing by Shannon Doubleday It also carries a fair price of around £400; we'd wager any 24-inch display you find for less will come with trade-offs in terms of features or...

Sony Bravia KDL-32V2000 review

Reviews There's that bouncing ball advert for a start, and all of Sky's HDTV demonstrations have used Bravia LCDs to display it's potential. Bravia screens have been receiving a lot of attention. Why all the fuss?

Sony DAV-IS10 review

Reviews Each of the five speakers is only the size of a tennis ball, which guarantees that this £500 system remains heard but not necessarily seen. There's small and then there are the satellite speakers from Sony's latest DAV-IS10 home cinema system.

Hitachi P50T01U review

Reviews The ball starts rolling with that resolution we mentioned earlier, which has as many horizontal lines as a 'Full HD' screen -- even though the number of vertical lines isn't high enough to garner the TV's official Full HD status.

Advanced mice

Reviews They're less susceptible to damage from everyday wear and tear than old-school ball mice, and they don't need much maintenance. The humble mouse is an oft-undervalued PC peripheral. Many of us are happy to chug along using the basic models that are...

E-TEN glofiish X600 review

Reviews Size-wise and even features-wise it's very similar to the HTC P3300 (O2's XDA Orbit) but instead of a scroll ball, you're presented with a small joystick that's easy to use. E-TEN isn't a particularly well known brand in the UK but that doesn't...

Creative Live Cam Optia AF review

Reviews The glossy, black camera is attached to a clear plastic base, but this time a ball-and-socket joint connects the two pieces, which allows for precise positioning without needing to move your monitor. The Creative Live Cam Optia AF, priced around...

Sony PFR-V1 headphones review

Reviews It's not visually appealing unless you're a cyborg, and the ping pong ball-shaped enclosures are a couple of steps removed from even the more adventurous of headphone shapes. They are -- at heart -- simply a new type of headphone, in the same way...

Denon AH-D5000 headphones review

Reviews The adjustable headband is mounted on a ball-bearing system that lets the wearer smoothly adjust the size of the headphones. Denon's new AH-D5000 headphones have been on our list of things to drool over since we first glanced at them.

Apple iPod nano (4GB) review

Reviews By virtue of a lovely design backed by forward-thinking tech (the first 4GB flash player; a photo-friendly colour screen), Apple will keep its ball rolling swiftly up to Christmas. Just when you thought Apple's standard iPod was saturating the...

Denon AH-D2000 headphones review

Reviews It's mounted on what feels like ball bearings, adding a subtle but noticeable element of class. The last high-end cans to come from Denon were the superb £500 AH-D5000s. However, you needn't spend £500 to get into Denon's high-end good books...

O2 XDA Argon review

Reviews Think back to what an iPaq used to look like five years ago, add a bit of extra bulk and you're in the right ball park. Not everyone is totally enamoured with the move towards PDAs with smaller screens and O2 is aiming the rather chunky XDA Argon...

Asus F3Ke review

Reviews It's prone to being accidentally touched by the ball of your right hand as you type, causing the laptop to think you're clicking the mouse button. Hardly a month goes by without Asus releasing a 15.4-inch laptop.
