    Epson Photo Viewer P-1000 review

    3.5 REVIEW 7 January 2004 1:21 GMT

    The Epson Photo Viewer P-1000 is a portable handheld screen measuring 3.8 inches that allows you to view images a lot bigger than you can on your digital camera. It’s essentially an electronic photo frame.

    Having the same photo on your desk...

  • Gameplay wise nothing much has changed since the first version of the sims came our PC screens some four years ago

    Sims Bustin’ Out -Xbox review

    4.0 REVIEW 3 January 2004 1:23 GMT

    The Sims Bustin' Out sees a greater emphasis on not only completing tasks to unlock further elements, but also moving house to climb further up the career ladder. But is this something Sim players and for that matter console players want from one of the...

  • As a game for children this is great, colourful with plenty to challenge the young at mind

    Grabbed by the Ghoulies - XBox review

    3.0 REVIEW 3 January 2004 1:16 GMT

    Laid out like a comic book, Grabbed by the Ghoulies is a strange mix of storytelling and live action as you try and not get too frightened on your quest to save your girlfriend. It's a strange premise and one that has mixed feelings on the screen. Seemingly...

  • Play can be improved in game similar to the model used in most basketball games. The better you play the better you become.

    Top Spin - Xbox review

    3.5 REVIEW 3 January 2004 1:11 GMT

    Top Spin from Microsoft for the Xbox tries to ace Virtua Tennis, but has it got what it takes to out serve the popular and very good Virtua Tennis series. We don our shorts pick up our racket and shimmy up to the base line.

    While tennis games...

  • Bike racing in computer games is the equivalent of bike racing in real life.<br>It's great fun but you don't have much choice in what you watch or play

    Moto GP 2 - Xbox review

    3.5 REVIEW 3 January 2004 0:20 GMT

    Does Moto GP 2 on the Xbox grow the motorcycle-racing genre to new levels or it is just a clone of the now rather old PC version? We put on our crash helmet and give the game a spin. Bike racing in computer games is the equivalent of bike racing in real...

  • This certainly offers everything a Mac user could want from a portable platform. In fact even what most PC laptop users could want as well

    Apple 17in G4 PowerBook review

    4.5 REVIEW 2 January 2004 0:12 GMT

    To cut a long review short, the 17” Apple G4 PowerBook is a dream toy that unfortunately doesn’t come at a dream price.

    We all love the gadget that gives us the wow factor and Apple have certainly managed it with the PowerBook range. The 17”...

  • Those looking for a challenge can opt for the championship mode, which allows you to open further levels, players and cars

    Destruction Derby Arenas - PS2 review

    3.5 REVIEW 30 December 2003 9:59 GMT

    When we grew up playing racing games you had to do you best to avoid trying to break or even scratch the car. Destruction Derby Arena seems turns this on its head and the whole point of the game in to do you best in not only trashing your car, but everyone...

  • On the surface the Bodyglove Bluetooth headset looks very stylish. The company that is renowned for making surf gear since the eighties has done well to bring the same style to is range of mobile phone accessories

    Bodyglove Earglove BlueSport - Bluetooth wireless headset review

    1.0 REVIEW 30 December 2003 9:43 GMT

    The latest legislation in the UK means we can on longer use our phones in the car whilst driving. Therefore UK drivers have to turn to hands free kits to keep in touch with the office whilst on the road. The options available are simple; either using...

  • Microsoft has given the game the usual Xbox graphical shine

    Microsoft Links 2004 - Xbox review

    3.5 REVIEW 29 December 2003 15:53 GMT

    Becoming an Xbox exclusive, Links 2004, sees the transition from the PC to the console. It's a strange move, as the majority of computer golf gamers are business users bored on the road, but then the transition isn't as bad as it sounds.

    Microsoft...

  • For the multimedia fans the 6600 comes with a built in camera

    Nokia 6600 review

    4.0 REVIEW 19 December 2003 11:02 GMT

    Nokia has had a strange time with its mobile phones in recent months. With R&D facilities that like to create the weird and wonderful, it was with great trepidation that we took a look at the 6660. To our surprise however, the phone is probably one of...

  • The front is plain and simple.

    Pentax Optio S review

    3.5 REVIEW 16 December 2003 17:27 GMT

    Some say that small is beautiful, others believe that small equates to a lack of features. Pentax though are trying to break this mould with the Pentax Optio S. Not only is it small - it’s the size of a pack of playing cards - but is also packed with...

  • This is a great entry level camera.

    Pentax Optio 33L review

    4.0 REVIEW 16 December 2003 17:24 GMT

    Pentax’s Optio 33L offers a 3x optical and a 2.7 digital zoom in a camera that resembles a standard 35mm compact.

    The first question you’re likely to ask is where is the LCD display and viewfinder? The later has been disregarded just like latest...

  • This is a great little camera that takes great pictures.

    Pentax Optio 230 digital camera review

    3.5 REVIEW 16 December 2003 17:15 GMT

    While most camera manufacturers are ploughing on with the neverending quest of creating the biggest most powerful digital camera in the world, Pentax has taken a different approach and produced an affordable 2.1 megapixel camera for under £300.

  • If you are restricted by cash, this for £99 is a good start – especially if you are after something small and compact.

    Oregon Scientific I-Cam review

    3.5 REVIEW 16 December 2003 17:04 GMT

    Styled like the Pentax Optio S, this fixed focus 2mp camera from Oregon Scientific offers a lot on the style front. Slim and compact and thinner than a pack of playing cards, the camera features a 1.5” LCD display and the usual array of buttons to access...

  • What you have here is a camera that while not looking great on the outside does produce the goods on the inside.

    Ricoh Caplio G3 review

    4.0 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:58 GMT

    Sharing the same name as one of the most popular Canon cameras, this Ricoh version isn’t the all-powerful number that its namesake suggests. Instead the Caplio G3 is a entry level three mega pixel camera that offers a host of options and a very fast (0.14-second)...

  • As a three mega pixel camera, this Sony is very good.

    Sony DSC-P72 review

    4.0 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:53 GMT

    This 3.2 megapixel camera from Sony is long in shape, has plenty of rubber grips and comes with a weight that is comfortable but leaning to heavy. Powered by two Sony Cyber-Shot rechargeable "Stamina" AA batteries and saving your images to a 16Mb MemoryStick...

  • Images on the whole were okay, but nothing special.

    Nikon Coolpix SQ review

    3.0 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:48 GMT

    The Nikon Coolpix SQ breaks from the usual mould of digital cameras from Nikon. For starters it comes with a docking station. Secondly it's square in shape and thirdly the lens can be rotated by 90 degrees in both directions.

    On the outset...

  • Overall this camera is a good starter in the realms of digital imaging.

    Nikon Coolpix 3100 review

    4.0 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:41 GMT

    While the product images of the Nikon Coolpix 3100 make it out to be larger than most 3 mega pixel digital cameras on the market, in the hand it is very small and compact.

    Small enough to fit comfortably in the hand, the camera has gone through...

  • Overall this camera is a good starter at the very entry level of digital imaging.

    Nikon Coolpix 2100 review

    4.0 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:37 GMT

    The Nikon 2100 is virtually identical to the Nikon 3100 bar a few inter details. The first is that it is only a 2 mega pixel variant. It therefore suffers from the same problems that the 3100 has in the design.

    Small enough to fit comfortably...

  • When it came to taking images, the camera did very well producing bold colours against a varying backdrop.

    Kodak EasyShare DX4530 review

    4.0 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:21 GMT

    Kodak’s five mega pixel camera in its EasyShare range is an interesting one. On the one side, you have a camera range aimed at beginners and on the other you’ve got a mega pixel count that is normally found in high end larger models.

    Kodak’s...

  • This camera shows a lot of promise for the Kodak EasyShare range.

    Kodak EasyShare DX6490 review

    4.0 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:18 GMT

    The DX6490 brings a new face to the Kodak EasyShare range. It’s been restyled, bigger, bolder and more impressive that any other camera in the range. If Kodak follows this route then they’ll have a very good camera range on their hands.

    The...

  • The camera has an optical viewfinder with dioptre adjustment and strangely this is more than its 5 mega pixel older brother the DX6450.

    Kodak Easyshare DX6440 review

    3.5 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:15 GMT

    This 4 mega pixel compact camera from Kodak, which sits comfortably in the hand, isn't the lightest camera on the block (weighing 220g), but the combination of brushed steel and plastic makes for an interesting approach for a casing.

    The outside...

  • Picture quality was either poor or brilliant when it came to taking pictures.

    Kodak EasyShare LS633 review

    3.5 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:10 GMT

    While a lot of people will believe that every three mega pixel camera looks the same every so often along comes a camera that is slightly different. Perhaps it’s a different shape or maybe has a facility to make cups of tea.

    Kodak’s latest...

  • The front.

    Kodak LS443 EasyShare review

    3.5 REVIEW 16 December 2003 16:01 GMT

    While Kodak’s latest model in the LS range boasts a large 2.2 OLED screen, it only offers 3 megapixels - in steps its slightly older brother - the LS443, a more compact 4 megapixel version for you to play with.

    Styled on the EasyShare range,...

  • The Kodak EasyShare DX6340.

    Kodak EasyShare DX6340 review

    3.5 REVIEW 16 December 2003 15:57 GMT

    The EasyShare range from Kodak professes to be simple to use as well as taking great pictures. The DX6340 comes with a 4x optical and 3.5x digital zoom offering prints of up to 11” x 14” at 3.1 million pixels. But how does it fair against the plethora...
