Samsung DVD-HD870 review

Reviews This is a nice idea, but in reality there isn't that much content available. In reality, however, the DVD player has plenty of life left in it yet. With all the bluster about HD DVD and Blu-ray, you could be forgiven for thinking that it was the...

Gizmondo Europe Gizmondo review

Reviews While the Gizmondo Web site promises all sorts of multimedia functionality, cheekily showing off stills from Sin City and Hitch, the reality is that unless your collection is in Windows Media Video then you'll have to start converting it, and...

High-tech headphones

Reviews They automatically assume that the cans that ship with their iPod or other music player are up to the task, but the sad reality is that most standard headphones are complete pants. Most consumers are happy to spend hundreds of pounds on an MP3...

Navigon 2110 Max review

Reviews On the outside, the Navigon 2110 Max is essentially the widescreen version of the previous 2110 sat-nav, but internally you will find the latest Navigator 7 software, an improved destination input screen and motorway/major junction assistant...

Navigon 5110 review

Reviews At around £270, it's complemented by some unique features, such as the Lane Assistant with Reality View. Reality View changes to a graphical, real time representation of the junction and gives you a view of your desired lane

LCD TVs: Now's the time to grab a bargain

Reviews The flat-screen era is finally becoming a reality as LCDs become more affordable and break the magic sub-£1,000 barrier. They also improve dramatically with each successive generation. So while we're still a few years off a true LCD bargain, these...

Revo Blik RadioStation review

Reviews This dream is a reality with Revo's introduction of the multi-talented Blik RadioStation. There have been plenty of DAB/FM and Internet/FM combinations, but never a single product that delivers the ultimate triple whammy of DAB, FM and Internet.

Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP review

Reviews Everyone has their own idea of the perfect display size, determined by some mystical combination of applications used, available desk space, viewing distance and resolution -- tempered by a degree of techie feng shui and a hearty dose of budgetary...

GPRS (General Packet Radio Service)

Reviews GPRS offers higher throughput than GSM's 9.6Kbps to 14.4Kbps -- a theoretical maximum of 171Kbps, but in reality GPRS ranges from 28.8Kbps to 56Kbps. GPRS builds upon the existing GSM wireless communications standard by adding packet switching for...

HP 530 review

Reviews StrengthsWith a price tag of £300, you might expect the HP 530 to be fairly underwhelming, but in reality, it's anything but. If you're shopping on a limited budget, you can still get a laptop with a decent specification if you're prepared to make...

Enthusiast cameras for learning about photography

Reviews In reality, creative photography is about nudging the camera away from its one-size-fits-all automatic settings to get a better or more interesting result. To move from casual snapshots to more creative photography, you need a camera that gives you...

Pioneer PDP-435XDE review

Reviews In reality, its image quality is actually nearly identical, although it didn't score quite as high overall because the competition has improved: Panasonic is snapping at the heels of what was once the clear leader of this market.

Sharp LC-32P50E review

Terratec Cinergy T2 review

Reviews On paper it's revolutionary stuff, and it certainly would be in reality if it weren't for the rather limited Freeview coverage. It's clear from the design of the Terratec Cinergy T2 that portability was the order of the day.

Olympus M:robe 500i (20GB) review
