Epson Photo Viewer P-1000 review
REVIEW
7 January 2004 1:21 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Sims Bustin’ Out -Xbox review
REVIEW
3 January 2004 1:23 GMT
Tweet
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...

Grabbed by the Ghoulies - XBox review
REVIEW
3 January 2004 1:16 GMT
Tweet
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...

Top Spin - Xbox review
REVIEW
3 January 2004 1:11 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Moto GP 2 - Xbox review
REVIEW
3 January 2004 0:20 GMT
Tweet
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...

Apple 17in G4 PowerBook review
REVIEW
2 January 2004 0:12 GMT
Tweet
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”... -
Destruction Derby Arenas - PS2 review
REVIEW
30 December 2003 9:59 GMT
Tweet
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...

Bodyglove Earglove BlueSport - Bluetooth wireless headset review
REVIEW
30 December 2003 9:43 GMT
Tweet
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 Links 2004 - Xbox review
REVIEW
29 December 2003 15:53 GMT
Tweet
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.

Nokia 6600 review
REVIEW
19 December 2003 11:02 GMT
Tweet
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...

Pentax Optio S review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 17:27 GMT
Tweet
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...

Pentax Optio 33L review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 17:24 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Pentax Optio 230 digital camera review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 17:15 GMT
Tweet
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.

Oregon Scientific I-Cam review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 17:04 GMT
Tweet
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...

Ricoh Caplio G3 review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:58 GMT
Tweet
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)...
-
Sony DSC-P72 review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:53 GMT
Tweet
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...

Nikon Coolpix SQ review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:48 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Nikon Coolpix 3100 review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:41 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Nikon Coolpix 2100 review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:37 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Kodak EasyShare DX4530 review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:21 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Kodak EasyShare DX6490 review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:18 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Kodak Easyshare DX6440 review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:15 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Kodak EasyShare LS633 review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:10 GMT
Tweet
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... -
Kodak LS443 EasyShare review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 16:01 GMT
Tweet
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,... -
Kodak EasyShare DX6340 review
REVIEW
16 December 2003 15:57 GMT
Tweet
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...
