    Sony PlayStation Move review

    3.5 REVIEW Did the earth move for us? 6 September 2010 13:18 GMT

    Any review of PlayStation Move is going to have to admit the same thing: this is the first step on a long journey. As such, there is understandably a degree of discomfort that comes with writing about something so new, with so little real material...

  • Start the Party!

    Start the Party! review

    1.5 REVIEW Moved us to tears 3 September 2010 16:16 GMT

    There have been some moments in gaming history when we've had our hopes and dreams smashed against the rocks of "what the hell?" The EyeToy was one such moment, as was "You're in the Movies" on the Xbox 360. Start the Party! can be filed in the same...

    First Look: Apple TV review

    FIRST LOOK Still just a hobby? 3 September 2010 10:47 GMT

    Apple has said that Apple TV is just a hobby for them, reiterating the joke at the company's September update. To some, Apple TV stole the show, wowing with its new tiny dimensions, and a price that's difficult to ignore. We got our eyes on the new...

  • Apple iPod nano - First Look

    First Look: Apple iPod nano review

    FIRST LOOK Is it now too small? 2 September 2010 16:39 GMT

    Of all the devices that Apple refreshed at its September music event, it is the iPod nano that has had the most extreme makeover. Gone are the controls and the elongated screen, and in comes a square touchscreen design in its place. We got our hands...

  • Apple iPod touch 4G - First Look

    First Look: Apple iPod touch 4G review

    FIRST LOOK A touch of class? 1 September 2010 23:01 GMT

    We knew it was coming and it didn't take a genius to figure out what was in store for the fourth generation of the Apple iPod touch. Having seen the changes to the iPhone 4, it was only natural to assume that the iPod touch would be getting the pick...

    First Look: Motorola Defy review

    FIRST LOOK Think you're hard enough? 1 September 2010 17:30 GMT

    Looking for our full review of the Motorla Defy? You can find it here.

    Looking to appeal to those who lead a tough life is the just-announced Motorola Defy, claiming to be "life proof". Motorola were keen to point out that this isn't a rugged...

  • Sports Champions

    Sports Champions review

    2.5 REVIEW A gold medal for PlayStation Move? 1 September 2010 17:00 GMT

    Sports Champions is a somewhat predictable title for the PlayStation Move, taking Sony's new motion controller and pitching in with a snackable title that showcases the variety of ways the Move can be employed. In some ways it is the ultimate demo...

  • Acer Stream

    Acer Stream review

    3.5 REVIEW Will this outsider sink or swim? 1 September 2010 9:00 GMT

    The Acer Stream is the company's latest flagship handset, following on from the Liquid and Liquid E before it. Acer isn't a company with a great history in mobile devices and so far has enjoyed limited success. It's clear that Acer is committed to...

    TomTom Go 1000 Live review

    4.0 REVIEW Will TomTom's latest keep you on track? 27 August 2010 9:00 GMT

    Whilst it is impossible to ignore convergence and the growing popularity of satnav functions on your smartmobile, for many there is still a place for a dedicated satnav device. TomTom is hoping that continued innovation will keep pushing sales of their...

  • Sony Alpha NEX-3

    Sony Alpha NEX-3 review

    4.0 REVIEW The hybrid camera of choice? 24 August 2010 15:58 GMT

    The Sony Alpha NEX-3 is the not-so-identical twin of the Sony Alpha NEX-5. There are cosmetic as well as technical differences, but the first thing to understand is the similarity. Importantly, both feature the same E-mount and will accept the same...

  • Philips SHN6000 headphones

    Philips SHN6000 headphones review

    3.5 REVIEW Noise cancellation for your iPod 19 August 2010 9:00 GMT

    Philips have stepped into the world of noise cancellation with the SHN6000 headphones, a set designed specifically for your iPod. But will they blissfully cut out the world around you so you can enjoy your tunes in peace? Or are too many compromises...

  • Sony Ericsson Zylo

    Sony Ericsson Zylo review

    3.0 REVIEW The last flourish of the Walkman handset? 17 August 2010 12:08 GMT

    It would be easy to forget that the world isn't only about smartphones and that some people still want a regular handset. At least Sony Ericsson is hoping so with the Zylo (aka W20i), a slider handset coming with Walkman branding and a price tag for...

  • Samsung PL150

    Samsung PL150 review

    4.0 REVIEW Twice the fun? 16 August 2010 14:10 GMT

    Samsung has been releasing an increasingly impressive array of cameras of late, and the Samsung PL150 is an example of the sort of innovation that is getting it noticed in what was once a relatively closed photographic space.

    Like the ST550,...

  • MSI Wind U160

    MSI Wind U160 review

    4.0 REVIEW Another netbook blows through 13 August 2010 11:22 GMT

    The fervour surrounding netbooks seems to be abating, as tablets rear their heads and fight for the same space, a middle space, between the phone and the laptop proper. When we think of a netbook, the MSI Wind always comes to mind and here we see the...

  • BlackBerry Curve 3G

    BlackBerry Curve 3G review

    3.5 REVIEW Anything more than an incremental revision? 12 August 2010 13:02 GMT

    The BlackBerry Curve 3G (or 9300) is the newest handset from RIM, pitched at the entry-level, as confirmed by Mike Lazaridis, CEO: "The majority of people in the worldwide mobile phone market have yet to buy their first smartphone and the BlackBerry...

    SureFlap microchip cat flap review

    4.5 REVIEW Cat control future style 11 August 2010 11:31 GMT

    It's 3am when you are wrenched from your slumbers. A yowling and hissing mess of fur and claws is rolling around your house, fighting with everything in its arsenal. You stagger into the fray, waving your leather slipper, ready to put to the offending...

  • iRiver Story with Wi-Fi

    iRiver Story with Wi-Fi review

    4.0 REVIEW Can this challenge the Kindle? 5 August 2010 21:54 GMT

    We looked at the iRiver Story back in December 2009 and we liked it. Good construction, wide file support and a QWERTY keyboard round out a spec sheet that challenges most of its rivals. But does adding Wi-Fi bring anything to the mixture?

    It...

  • Karcher A 2234

    Karcher A 2234 review

    4.0 REVIEW Plenty of suck; also blows 26 July 2010 17:11 GMT

    When someone says Karcher, you think big yellow jet washer. That isn't all the company makes, however, and we decided to take a look at the A 2234, one of its vacuum cleaners. It is pitched as a "rugged multi-purpose vacuum", designed to go places...

    Philips HR1861 juicer review

    4.5 REVIEW Let's get fruity 23 July 2010 22:27 GMT

    The Philips HR1861 juicer has received a number of awards and recommendations from the likes of Good Housekeeping and Which? But will it survive the rigours of the Pocket-lint.com test kitchen?

    This juicer is of the centrifugal variety, so...

    Dell Streak review

    4.0 REVIEW Is that a 5-incher in your pocket? 22 July 2010 15:19 GMT

    What are you Dell Streak? Are you a phone? Are you a tablet? Are you just an Android thing? Where do you sit in the order of must-have gadgets out there, and what do you think your primary purpose is? 

    These are the questions we find ourselves...

    Philips Fidelio DS9000 review

    4.5 REVIEW Looking for a premium iPod dock? 21 July 2010 14:27 GMT

    iPod docks come in all shapes and sizes, most arriving around the £100-150 mark, offering a range of features the most useful of which is the ability to get the tunes off your iPod or iPhone and into your room. Many suffer from the same problem too...

    Acer beTouch E400 review

    3.0 REVIEW Budget Android for Acer 20 July 2010 11:17 GMT

    Acer's smartphone onslaught continues, this time with a budget offering in the form of the beTouch E400. This is the Android version of the Acer neoTouch P400 we reviewed last month: the same hardware but with a different operating system.

    It...

  • Samsung WB600

    Samsung WB600 review

    4.0 REVIEW Get up close and personal 19 July 2010 11:23 GMT

    The humble compact camera category seems to be under assault. At the high end you have hybrid cameras offering imaging power with svelte dimensions, at the bottom end you have increasingly sophisticated camera phones. The result is a need for innovation...

  • Samsung SyncMaster LD220HD

    Samsung SyncMaster LD220HD review

    4.0 REVIEW Looking for monitor with a TV tuner? 16 July 2010 16:23 GMT

    The SyncMaster LD220HD, like the LG W2230s, is sold as an accompaniment to your laptop, rather than as a desktop monitor, although in truth it could easily be both.

    Measuring 22 inches across the diagonal, the LD220 doesn’t have a conventional...
