    4.0 REVIEW 15 December 2003 12:54 GMT

    With the winter season on us once again, it is time to take to the slopes on and off screen. Microsoft is hoping it's on screen and on the X-Box and released the follow-up to the launch title of two years ago against EA SSX3. We havem't yet tested SSX...

    4.0 REVIEW 9 December 2003 21:16 GMT

    Logitech diNovo Media Desktop review

    4.0 REVIEW 9 December 2003 16:36 GMT

    Whoever said style costs is still right. The latest keyboard from Logitech costs a whopping £200, but for a brief moment you might just think it’s worth paying for once you get your hands on it.

    For starters it sports Bluetooth. Coming with...

  • One of the nicer elements to this package is the user interface.

    Linksys Wireless B Media Adapter review

    4.5 REVIEW 9 December 2003 16:34 GMT

    Anyone who has a digital archive of either music or pictures knows the problems when it comes to sharing that information with others. It's all very well having 1,000 songs on your hard drive but if that disk is in your spare room and not your lounge...

    Linksys Wireless B Game Adapter review

    4.5 REVIEW 9 December 2003 16:18 GMT

  • The Stick itself is very comfortable to hold

    Logitech Extreme 3D Pro review

    4.5 REVIEW 9 December 2003 16:09 GMT

    Logitech Extreme Action Controller for PS2 review

    4.0 REVIEW 9 December 2003 16:07 GMT

  • The units wideness makes for an uncomfortable grip

    Logitech Precision Controller for Xbox review

    2.5 REVIEW 9 December 2003 15:52 GMT

    Since the X-Box was launched there has always been plenty of debate about its controller. Even some six months after the launch, the controller when through a change. The end result made it smaller not only to fit in with children but a complaining Japanese...

  • The player itself is virtually void of buttons except for the play button, and everything is controlled via a series of twisty knobs and sliders.

    Sony NW-MS70D Network Walkman review

    4.0 REVIEW 9 December 2003 12:36 GMT

    Sony’s foray into the MP3 market is a strange one. On the one side its player - The Network Walkman is small, sleek and well styled, on the other however the player isn’t actually an MP3 player.

    0.5 REVIEW 9 December 2003 12:33 GMT

    While the Logitech Pocket Video 750 brings you an LCD display and 32Mb SD card in the box, the company has decided to create the entry level unit - the 550 without any of the above. This is an interesting decision because without an SD Card this unit...

  • This is all very well and the unit itself isn’t too badly designed, but with a VGA picture resolution of only 320 x240, as soon as you opt to play back your footage on your television you won’t be smiling

    Logitech Pocket Video 750 review

    2.0 REVIEW 9 December 2003 12:31 GMT

    The Logitech Pocket Video 750 purports to be a handy digital video camera that you can put in your pocket and whip out when you need to capture that magical moment. It's a nice idea but in practice one that isn't quite right yet.

    The main...

    Crucial Hi-Speed USB 7-in-1 Card Reader review

    3.5 REVIEW 9 December 2003 12:20 GMT

    Similar in style to the Flash Go 2! Reader, Crucial’s 7-in-1 card reader is a compact affair that does what it sets out to do.

    Panther – Apple 10.3 OS review

    4.0 REVIEW 9 December 2003 12:02 GMT

    With 150 improvements on the last edition, you would think that you can expect a lot from Apple’s new Operating system and for the most part you would be right. That said for hardened Mac fans the new improvements aren’t the be all and end all. It’s more...

    4.0 REVIEW 9 December 2003 11:57 GMT

    3.5 REVIEW 9 December 2003 11:38 GMT
