  • Iomega Micro Mini 8Gb hard drive. Hardware, Storage, Iomega 0

    Iomega Micro Mini 8Gb hard drive

    3.5 Portable storage has come a long way in a short time, but can the Iomega Micro Mini impress? 6 January 2006 0:00 GMT
    The Good
    Size, capacity and price – but most of all it’s shiny silver with a blue LED and black leather case. Cool!
    The Bad
    No security/encryption software included, essential when you’re likely to store your whole life on this
    Verdict
    Do you really need 8Gb in your pocket? If not a 1Gb USB memory stick is smaller, cheaper and inherently safer (no moving parts)
    Price
    £92
  • Via Michelin x930 GPS receiver. Car And GPS, GPS, ViaMichelin 0

    Via Michelin x930 GPS receiver

    1.0 Via Michelin's latest GPS offering is the Via Michelin X930, is a slimline GPS unit that promises lots, but can it deliver? 5 January 2006 0:11 GMT
    The Good
    Strong receiver for good signal, clear display page, information from the Michelin guide book
    The Bad
    Poor mapping, poor instruction sets, poor Points of Interest listing
    Verdict
    Aside from the price, the biggest complaint here is the mapping and the unit's inability to find any address you are likely to be looking for

    The Good
    Elastic laces, comfortable fit
    The Bad
    All the technology here isn’t really noticed

    At £75 this is a comfortable cross country shoe that works very well without gimmicks found in other trainers

  • Netgear DG834PN 108 Mbps RangeMax ADSL Modem Wireless Router. Hardware, Networking, Netgear 0

    Netgear DG834PN 108 Mbps RangeMax ADSL Modem Wireless Router

    4.5 Is setting up an ADSL broadband connection that easy? Just plug the modem thingy into the socket and your PC into the thingy and it all works surely. We find out whether Netgear can live up to the promise 3 January 2006 0:32 GMT
    The Good
    Extended wireless range, compact design, very secure
    The Bad
    Extended range only works if you buy matching RangeMax adaptors
    Verdict
    A no-brainer if you’re setting up a wireless ADSL network for the first time – but how much range you actually get depends upon the construction of your house
    Price
    £86.99
  • Kodak V570 dual lens digital camera - EXCLUSIVE. Cameras, Compact cameras, 5 megapixels, Kodak, Digital cameras 0

    Kodak V570 dual lens digital camera - EXCLUSIVE

    4.0 Kodak's latest camera doesn't promise a huge optical lens that is capable of zooming in on the action, but two lenses. But are two lenses better than one? Pocket-lint was given exclusive access 1 month before the launch of the camera to have a look. 2 January 2006 0:00 GMT
    The Good
    Two lenses, small, compact, easy to use
    The Bad
    Looks like a bit of a gimmick
    Verdict
    The V570 is good, but it does seem like the long way around solving the problem of creating a lens that can cope with both wide-angle and close up shots

    £269
  • Prince of Persia Revelations - PSP. Gaming, PSP, Action, Ubisoft 0

    Prince of Persia Revelations - PSP

    3.5 Can the popular console smash-hit, Prince of Persia be as successful on the small screen as it was the PS2? We find out. 1 January 2006 0:20 GMT
    The Good
    Graphics, gameplay
    The Bad
    End of Level bad guys will be too tough for some
    Verdict
    While gamers of Warrior Within will be disappointed with the virtually identical storyline, this is still one to consider for any Prince of Persia fan
