Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 2727 review

Reviews Kids, eh? Be warned, though: your kids won't be blowing up many virtual bad guys with this system -- they're going to have to get their kicks another way. That's a bit pants really, but it's enough to chug through most ordinary desktop tasks, so if...

OLPC XO-1 (One Laptop Per Child) review

Reviews Why should rich Western kids get all the cool kit? The TamTam music creation suite includes easy to use composition, sequencing and even synth tools, and there are numerous programming/scripting gadgets to introduce kids smoothly to computing.

Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP review

Reviews Little kids won't mind, but others may find this setup a tad less comfortable. And the whole package comes in a more compact, mature, flip-screen design that should appeal to both kids and adults. One can't argue with the success of the original...

iLuv i1055 review

Reviews Though the i1055 is too large to use on a train or the bus, it will come into its own like any portable entertainment device when the kids are screaming or when you're lying in bed and the TV remote control is too far across the room.

Ministry of Sound MOSMC139IP review

Reviews In an unusual move, surely catering for the Net Generation of kids, an SD card slot and USB socket take centre stage on the front of the main unit. An SD slot and USB port add some extra functionality for the Net Gen of kids

Humax LU23-TD2 review

Reviews These smaller screens could replace bulky CRT TVs, and be used for gaming or to keep the kids happy while you and your other half enjoy a movie on the bigger screen. We weren't necessarily bowled over by the Freeview picture quality, but the rest...

iLuv i9200 iPod speaker system review

Reviews Cheaper speaker systems often have tiny little remotes that kids could choke on, but the i9200's is more akin to a large-ish slab of Dairy Milk. Kids will love the hip design and certainly won't give a second thought if Britney's bass lines aren't...

BT Vision review

Reviews It's subdivided into film, TV, music, kids and so on, and further divided by channel or genre, but you're left with long lists of titles, most of which are confused by series and episode designations.

Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS review

Reviews The question is, as ever, whether these cool kids of the compact camera world are just a severe case of style over substance. The Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS is in the middle of the latest trio to join the ever-popular and ever-stylish IXUS range.

Humax LGB-19DRT review

Reviews Obviously, you won't be wanting a 40-inch LCD for the kids' bedroom, but something a little smaller might fit the bill. You can put a flat-panel TV pretty much anywhere, and because of their diminutive size they make ideal TVs for bedrooms, studies...

Humax LGB-32TPVR review

Reviews And, like one of those annoying kids at school who could turn their hand to anything, the Humax LGB-32TPVR is also HD Ready and has a plethora of connections. Humax made a name for itself when it released the first Freeview PVR, and ever since it's...

Best digital cameras for Christmas

Reviews Let's start at the budget end of the scale, for those of you with kids or if you're just on the cheap side. Christmas is coming. In fact, it's been coming for three months, if you believe the decorations in the local shopping centres.

Samsung HT-X715 review

Reviews On the other hand, your house is quiet, has cheaper snacks and the youth are unlikely to be sitting in the corner snogging making comedy remarks -- unless they're your kids, in which case you can tell them to be quiet.

DVD recorders with bonus features

Reviews The older kids on the block are the Pioneer DVR-520H and Philips' HDRW720. Last year it was all about DVD recorders, this year the more advanced hard drive combis are winning favour. These units will change the way you watch television -- the hard...
