Nokia 5500 Sport review

Reviews If you are a heavy-duty sports enthusiast you'll definitely need to add a GPS unit if you want the 5500 Sport to track distance travelled during sporting activities properly, and even then the 5500 Sport might not meet your needs as it lacks...

Sony Ericsson W710i review

Reviews Like the Nokia 5500 Sport, this handset lacks the accuracy of a GPS antenna-based system when it comes to measuring distance travelled, and what it offers is only really suitable for runners. The pedometer has two fitness modes -- walking and...

Sony CMT-GPX9DAB review

Reviews It's tasteful from a distance, but looks cheap up close. At 90 by 25mm, the primitive LCD is large enough to be viewed from a distance, and is more than adequate for its purpose while being unobtrusive.

Philips-Nike MP3Run review

Reviews When you're through with your run, you connect the player to your PC to upload your time and distance to the Training section of Nike's running site, where a detailed training log, complete with graphs of your runs, allows you to track your progress.

Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX6090 review

Reviews As the average British home isn't set up for such big screens, you can push it further against a wall, giving you precious millimetres of viewing distance. Sit a reasonable distance away from this TV and it will make your DVDs look amazing.

Sony Vaio VGN-AR11S review

Reviews The touchpad is logically placed in the centre of the wrist rest but the buttons sit some distance away on the very edge of the front. This means you'll need to stretch your thumb an unnecessarily long distance to reach the left or right mouse...

Nike + iPod Sport Kit review

Reviews The bundled manual states, however, that, "Even after calibrating, the accuracy of the distance measurements may vary depending on gait, running surface, incline, or temperature". The nano uses this data to extract information on distance travelled...

Toshiba TDP-ET20 review

Reviews The close-projection system uses a unique wide-angled lens that can display a 1m image from only 0.4m distance -- rising to a 3m image from a distance of 1.6m. As an all-inclusive system that lets you watch large screen pictures with sound in the...

InFocus Play Big IN76 review

Reviews If you're projecting onto a screen, you need to calculate the correct throw distance, which is how far apart to position them. The IN76's throw distance is pretty standard -- projector to screen is roughly 1.5 to 2 times the screen's diagonal...

Dell 2300MP review

Reviews And as the throw distance is pretty poor, you need to put the projector quite a distance away from the screen to get a decent image size. The company, better known for its computers, has an admirable policy of offering a complete AV package for a...

Toshiba MT400 review

Reviews A throw distance of between 1.2 and 12m will suit smaller rooms -- although for a typical 3m-wide screen you'll need a distance of around 5m. And home cinema projectors have never been more affordable.

Navman iCN 720 review

Reviews Two of these mirror a feature we first saw in the iCN 550: tap one and it displays a list of the fuel stations closest to your current location, along with the distance to them; the other does the same for parking locations.

Panasonic Viera TX-37LZD80 review

Reviews We did notice that when we sat a normal distance away from the screen -- a little under the couch-TV distance most people assume in their homes -- the picture looked okay, but we could still perceive the lack of detail.

TomTom GO 910 review

Reviews In the latter case you can specify both the type of POI or choose 'any', and specify the distance you're prepared to deviate from your route. A much larger strip along the bottom of the screen provides most of the non-map information, including the...
