    Gizmondo handheld console review

    2.0 REVIEW 6 April 2005 0:00 GMT

    I want to be nice, no really, I do, and I want to like the Gizmondo, because it's brave for an independent company to try and launch a mobile games device at the same time as Nintendo and Sony are slugging it out over mobile market supremacy. I'll praise...

    Fujitsu DynaMO 1300U2 Photo disk drive review

    4.0 REVIEW 5 April 2005 6:35 GMT

    In the arms race of storage Vs. resolution and ever higher bit rates, it still all comes down to just one thing, disk space. Even with the best camera ever, if a storage card fills up after 20 minutes, you're no better off than your contemporaries staring...

    O2 Xda IIi pda review

    3.5 REVIEW 24 March 2005 12:40 GMT

    The latest, of the O2 ‘UberPDA's' the new XDA IIi, certainly looks impressive when you see its vital statistics laid out on paper. Launched just after the heavyweight, ‘IIs', version of the range, the ‘IIi' bears a number of similarities with its larger,...

    Nikon F6 review

    4.5 REVIEW 23 March 2005 14:35 GMT

    With Digital SLR becoming such a force to be reckoned with in the professional and consumer markets is there still a need for a high end 35mm model from the camera manufacturers? Apparently so if Nikon has anything to say about it.

    Oregon Scientific Easy Weather Station Advanced review

    4.0 REVIEW 16 March 2005 11:50 GMT

    During the long winter months, the wise should be willing to go that little bit further in pursuit of knowing what the day is about to throw at them, so any device that can deliver accurate metrological reports at exactly the same time as it wakes you...

    JVC Everio Digital Media camera review

    4.0 REVIEW 14 March 2005 12:36 GMT

    The concept of the digital media recording camera is a not a new one, although previously these have gone under a variety of names. In essence, “camera” does exactly what it says, and records direct onto a digital media format rather onto a tape. In the...

    Packard Bell EasyNote H5 315 laptop review

    3.5 REVIEW 14 March 2005 12:12 GMT

    Without the statistics in front of you the ‘EasyNote' H3 315 looks pretty much like a hundred other laptops on the market. Silver on the outside, logo on the top, touch pad to move the pointer. Yawn, seen it, done it!

    Grope around in the...

    Pentax Optio WP review

    4.5 REVIEW 9 March 2005 11:53 GMT

    The new WP's pretty and compact design makes it a camera designed to live in a handbag, engineered to operated underwater and contains enough digital wizardry to challenge the most creative of minds, but does it take good pictures? Our man Charlie Brewer...

    Exspect EX80085 Funbag review

    4.0 REVIEW 9 March 2005 7:31 GMT

    It's always worrying to think that others are having more fun while you're stuck in the office slaving for the ‘Man'. In this case, the team from Exspect, who are more like the club reps for 18 to 30, than luggage designers, this is doubly true, because...

    01 Binary watch review

    3.0 REVIEW 16 February 2005 7:53 GMT

    There's something vaguely postmodern surrounding the idea of creating a watch that not ideally suited for telling the time. The 01 Binary watch is not the first wrist chronometer to employ a more fanciful system of conveying the hour and minute to the...

    iTech MobileWIZZ and PHOTO mobile WIZZ review

    4.0 REVIEW 10 February 2005 10:54 GMT

    The WIZZ devices, from iTECH, are designed to enable backup of data from your mobile phone. The Mobile WIZZ handles phonebook entries and the PHOTO MobileWIZZ handles images taken with the camera's phone. In both cases, the WIZZ device fills the gap left...

    iTech XFM DAB radio review

    4.0 REVIEW 25 January 2005 15:35 GMT

    Over the last few years Apple computers have had their fortunes not just reprieved but completely reversed, becoming the creators of the must-have items of the start of the 21st Century.

    This miraculous turnabout has been in part due to the...

    Contax U4R review

    2.0 REVIEW 24 January 2005 13:51 GMT

    It's me, well it must be, Contax don't make rubbishy cameras, they're up on the same photographic Mount Olympus as Leica. When the shutter falls on a Contax camera an angel beats its wings over your photograph and your image is blessed. Or at least that's...

    O2 3G data card review

    4.0 REVIEW 6 January 2005 13:07 GMT

    This isn't the first 3G data card to be launched by a major UK network and undoubtedly not the last. ‘The C@rd' as O2 marketeers have dubbed it on its website offers a lot of the same features as existing products, so what sets the O2 version apart?

    Nikon Coolpix 4800 Digital camera review

    4.0 REVIEW 27 December 2004 11:45 GMT

    The 4800 may be aimed at the more amateur end of the market but it includes some new and interesting features.

    Benefiting from a year's worth of development, in the overall Coolpix range, the 4800 includes a lot of the features designed for...

    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook review

    4.5 REVIEW 20 December 2004 7:41 GMT

    Impressive audio has never been one of the selling points of laptops. Small speakers, needing to conserve energy rather than belt out virtuoso, ear-splitting performances have always resulted in less than impressive overall quality.

    Until now....

    JVC MP-XV841 Mobile Mini note PC review

    4.5 REVIEW 13 December 2004 7:28 GMT

    After slogging down the high street, laden with presents for the angry masses, it’s nice to know that JVC are thinking of ever more impressive ways to lighten the load, in your laptop bag.

    Smaller than one of Santa’s little helpers, and more...

    Nokia 6670 review

    3.5 REVIEW 9 December 2004 11:59 GMT

    Based on the popular 7610, the 6670 tries to offer the same features but merely in a different packaging, but is it enough to woo the public once again?

    The phone itself is a fairly standard, 140 minutes talktime, with 240hours standby and...

    Nikon Coolpix 8800 review

    4.0 REVIEW 6 December 2004 7:53 GMT

    Nikon seems determined to cover all their bases with innovations and models different enough to keep both consumer and professional interested. Their last major release was the D70, a universally well received sub-£1000 SLR system. Now, the Coolpix 8800,...

    ITECH Virtual keyboard review

    4.0 REVIEW 29 November 2004 11:28 GMT

    Created by Israeli ex-military engineers, the ingenious I.TECH virtual keyboard is the perfect space saving device for mobile business. The compact, rechargeable, unit combines aspects of infer red and laser light technologies to project a trapezium shaped...

    3.5 REVIEW 18 November 2004 15:09 GMT

    Available in three different memory capacities, the new Rio Forge sports MP3 player will keep your brain entertained while your body grinds away exercising. The Forge range seems to be following in the footsteps of the Rio Cali and has been specifically...

    Voq Professional Phone review

    3.0 REVIEW 11 November 2004 8:12 GMT

    Have you ever heard of a Voq? No? Well, what about the expression ‘professional Phone'? Really, not that either. Well you must have heard of the Canadian Telecoms company Sierra Wireless. You're kidding me! Well you and me both on all three then, but...

    Olympus Mju-mini review

    4.0 REVIEW 1 November 2004 8:01 GMT

    Never wishing to be seen to stand idly by while the competition innovates, Olympus is always looking for ways to develop its record-breaking Mju cameras. Last time the sacrosanct design was refined brought about a format evolution, from film to digital....

    Knomo Laptop bags review

    4.0 REVIEW 25 October 2004 13:20 GMT

    When impressions really matter, and your wardrobe is more coordinated than the spoilers of a F1 racing car, then you are going to want something as special to move you laptop around.

    Danger Hiptop2 review

    4.5 REVIEW 20 October 2004 12:13 GMT

    It's often been remarked that my dad makes the ‘Luddites' look like technology's early adopters. So imagine my surprise when I discovered him playing with the Hiptop2, the nice folk at Danger had blessed with. I'm not sure he had any idea what he was...
