    Strauss T6 Water Dispenser review

    3.5 REVIEW Water, water, everywhere and all of it fit to drink 19 October 2011 12:00 GMT

    Us Brits do like a cuppa. It's said that our empire was built on tea - arguably not the drinking of it, before the historians among you start to get in touch - and thankfully, that's about the only thing that's left over from our colonial...

    Pinnacle PCTV To GO review

    4.5 REVIEW Can this compete against the Slingbox? 20 June 2007 11:00 GMT

    Nokia E65 mobile phone review

    In the Pocket-lint 2006 Awards, mobile phone of the year went to the Sony Ericsson k800i, and we can't help feeling that Nokia might have taken this a bit personally.

    memeo iExtend for iPod review

    4.0 REVIEW Can you turn your iPod into a data storage device? 21 July 2006 12:56 GMT

    iPod. They might as well just call it iCon. The ubiquitous little white (and of course, now black, pink, green and blue) box has taken such a hold on the world that newspapers and trade magazines call each new rival product “iPod-killer”.

    So...

    diino.com online storage service review

    4.0 REVIEW With dirt-cheap DVD burners, flash drives and even MP3 players doubling as storage devices Diino tries to go one better and offer all of the above online. 7 March 2006 12:10 GMT

    It seems that it wasn’t long ago that I stood marvelling at a graphic designer friend of mine as he produced from his (painfully trendy) shoulder bag a portable hard drive.

    It was the size of a two telephone directories and judging by the...

    Norton Systemworks 2006 review

    2.0 REVIEW Norton Systemworks 2006 from Symantec is one tool you can use to clean-up your PC. But does it work? 28 February 2006 15:30 GMT

    In a poll at the end of last year it was revealed that the most hated animated character of recent times was Crazy Frog. Now I’m not one to rock any boats, but there’s one that springs to mind that infuriates me even more. It’s that pesky little hourglass...

    Norton Internet Security 2006 review

    4.5 REVIEW Security suites come in all manner of guises and price brackets, and Norton from Symantec is probably one of the best known. But does fame bring reliability? 22 February 2006 11:10 GMT

    A quick definition for you. Muppet: either one of many of a collection of loveable puppets created by Jim Henson and loved by millions of people across the globe or anybody who connects a computer to the Internet without adequate protection.

  • Plantronic 590A Bluetooth headset and headphones review

    3.0 REVIEW Bluetooth headphones are set to change the way we listen to our portable music, so has Plantronics got the right idea? 12 January 2006 0:05 GMT

    OK, so that last one has only been...

    Sonos Digital Sound System review

    4.5 REVIEW Can this make your audio life at home easier? 16 December 2005 0:08 GMT

    This is probably the last you’ll hear from me. You see, I’m changing my name and skedaddling. Making a break for it, skipping the country, doing a Lord Lucan, call it what you will. And all I’m taking with me is a suitcase big enough for the Sonos Digital...

    You know you’re getting old when:

    a) you don’t watch Top of the Pops anymore because you ”prefer music with proper words and music”;
    b) you only ever agree to meet friends in pubs that have somewhere to sit down;
    c) you find it...

    3.5 REVIEW 31 August 2005 11:22 GMT

    Pentax SVI digital camera review

    4.0 REVIEW 30 August 2005 13:09 GMT

    I feel dirty: like I need a shower. You see, I’ve been unfaithful. Worse than that, I’ve enjoyed myself too. Let me explain: I’m a Canon man. Every camera I’ve ever owned has been a Canon (apart from a brief and misguided dalliance with a sexy little...

    3.0 REVIEW 12 May 2005 0:00 GMT

    The 7710 has been around for some time now. One minute the phone is available, the next it’s awaiting the next phase. Some 2 years after it was originally shown off, Nokia has finally got product to market. So was it worth the wait?
