    Advent Vega review

    3.5 REVIEW Rebel without a cause? 3 December 2010 16:01 GMT

    The Advent Vega is a 10.1-inch Android tablet that seems to be causing quite a stir. On paper this is justified: you get a 10.1-inch Android 2.2 tablet, with a capacitive display, it is slim and looks good, and features a powerful Nvidia Tegra 2 processor....

  • Philips GoGear Muse

    Philips GoGear Muse review

    3.5 REVIEW Looking for a PMP? 30 November 2010 16:57 GMT

    The Philips GoGear Muse (SA2MUS16S) is an MPEG4 player that looks to offer a range of features without breaking the bank. The Muse is lovingly crafted from brushed metal so it looks fantastic, but does the rest of the package deliver?

    A comparison...

  • Motorola Defy

    Motorola Defy review

    4.0 REVIEW Come and have a go... 29 November 2010 16:45 GMT

    4.0 REVIEW A golden gateway to budget Android goodness? 24 November 2010 0:06 GMT

    The Orange San Francisco is the network’s adaptation of the ZTE Blade. It is a budget Android handset, offering up entry-level hardware specs but coming forward with a cracking display and offering Android 2.1, albeit with a heavy dose of Orange...

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X8

    Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 review

    3.0 REVIEW Mid-range misfire? 19 November 2010 17:07 GMT

    The Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 takes the UI we saw on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini and flips it over to a device with a 3-inch screen. It shares the same design as the Xperia X10, so falls neatly between the X10 and X10 mini - we’re surprised...

    The BlackBerry Bold 9780 takes RIM’s flagship QWERTY device - the Bold 9700 - gives it a fresh new operating system with BlackBerry 6 and spits out a practically identical handset. It isn’t a new move from BlackBerry, we’ve seen them...

    4.5 REVIEW Premium speakers for your PC 10 November 2010 11:16 GMT

    The Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 speakers are designed for use with your PC and promise to bring with them hi-fi quality sound. Lift the MM-1 out of the box, and that £400 you parted with to get these speakers is obvious in the design. Two lovingly...

    First Look: Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 review

    FIRST LOOK First impressions of the new system camera 5 November 2010 11:46 GMT

    The Panasonic Lumix GF2 might sound like an incremental update to the GF1, shrinking the dimensions slightly and giving it a minor facelift, but you’re mistaken if you think that is the case. In the pursuit of innovation, Panasonic hasn’t...

    4.0 REVIEW Android, with buttons 3 November 2010 16:53 GMT

    There aren’t that many Android devices that offer a physical QWERTY keyboard. The HTC Desire Z squares up against the Motorola Milestone 2 nicely, leaving other devices to mainly scrap it out for the mid-range dollars. Even with the Desire Z...

    HTC Desire HD review

    4.5 REVIEW King of the Androids? 27 October 2010 11:35 GMT

    Following the unibody design that started with the HTC Legend, the HTC Desire HD fuses the looks of its namesake 3.7-inch device with the form factor of the HD line, the HTC HD2 and HTC HD7. Essentially, adding the HD tag owes more to the form factor...

    Touted by many as the flagship of the Windows Phone 7 armada, HTC’s 4.3-inch HD7 takes the prize for having the largest screen. But do more inches make it a better performer? Already we’ve seen those bemoaning its exclusive status with...

    LG Optimus 7 review

    4.0 REVIEW The one with DLNA 21 October 2010 0:01 GMT
