    2.5 REVIEW Can using an amputated robot foot help you kill bad guys? 29 February 2008 13:26 GMT

    4.5 REVIEW Can the world’s smallest Bluetooth adapter make a big impact? 28 February 2008 9:00 GMT

    There is one compelling reason to opt for the Trust Ultra Small device if you need to add Bluetooth 2 capability to your computer, and it’s a small reason at that, literally: size.

    4.5 REVIEW Can Epson produce a true photo lab in truly portable device? 6 February 2008 9:00 GMT

    Don’t mistake an Epson Picturemate for a photo printing workhorse, that would be to miss the point. This is hardware for the casual digital photographer, not the professional or even the prosumer for that matter. If you fall into the category of someone...

    4.5 REVIEW Will this bring wireless in to your home? 22 January 2008 9:00 GMT

    Wireless broadband routers are coming thick and fast, and differentiating between one model and another is becoming increasingly harder as far as the average buyer is concerned.

    SuperTooth Visor Voice review

    4.0 REVIEW Will this free up your hands? 14 December 2007 13:00 GMT

    It is rather hard these days to come up with anything approaching a unique selling point as far as hands-free Bluetooth headsets are concerned.

    Wolfking Timber Wolf Keyboard review

    3.5 REVIEW Do you need a dedicated gaming keyboard? 12 December 2007 9:00 GMT

    Awooga, awooga, gaming keyboard alert. Which usually means look out for a weird and whacky design meant to make your gaming life easier coupled to a very silly name. The Wolf King Timber Wolf certainly does not disappoint on either front.

  • Yego USB thumb drive and hub. Hardware, Storage, Yego 0

    Yego USB thumb drive and hub review

    4.0 REVIEW Some that's works or merely a fad? 10 December 2007 13:00 GMT

    It isn’t the smallest (69 x 43.5 x 14.8mm) nor lightest (19.5g) USB thumb drive we have ever seen, nor is it the most secure, the biggest capacity or even the best looking. But it does provide something that we have not seen for a darn long time as far...

    Belkin N1 Vision wireless router review

    3.5 REVIEW Will this get you connected? 23 November 2007 14:27 GMT

    4.0 REVIEW Should you start putting insects in your lughole? 12 November 2007 13:00 GMT

    It has chosen an interesting product to attempt to break into...

    Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-HD-S2 TV Tuner review

    3.0 REVIEW Can this let you tune it to HDTV? 8 November 2007 9:00 GMT

    Being gadget freaks we have all bought into the HD-ready TV revolution but how many of us are actually watching HD television broadcasts?

    Well I am, because I was foolish enough to "invest" in a Sky HD box and pay an additional £10 per month...

    iHome iH8 iPod speaker alarm clock review

    3.5 REVIEW Is this good enough to wake you up? 2 November 2007 11:00 GMT

    The clock radio is a familiar site in the bedrooms of old people all over the country. The under-60s, however, probably do not have one nestling next to a teasmaid and a large print library book.

    The iH8 hopes to change all that by bringing...

    3.0 REVIEW Can this outperform the iTrip? 19 October 2007 13:00 GMT

    If you have read our review of the Unison i-X5 iPod speakers then you will already know that we have been blown away by the sound quality that Cygnett are capable of producing.

    The question is whether that same audio experience can be replicated...

    Evesham ebox HD media centre PC review

    4.5 REVIEW Can Evesham give you a HD experience? 11 October 2007 13:00 GMT

    We have always liked the ebox series of media centre PCs from Evesham because they perform as good as they look and don’t cost the earth.

    Even the fact that Evesham Technology went into administration a couple of months back does not dampen...

    TwinMOS B1 USB memory drive review

    3.5 REVIEW How small do you really need a USB drive to be? 9 October 2007 11:00 GMT

    Just how small can a USB 2.0 storage device get? That is not a question we spend too much time asking ourselves here at Pocket-lint Towers.

    After all, as long as it is big enough capacity-wise to hold all our data and small enough physically...

    Terratec Cinergy Piranha TV Tuner review

    4.0 REVIEW Do good things really come in such small packages? 26 September 2007 0:00 GMT

    The Cinergy Piranha is the smallest USB digital TV and radio receiver on the market as far as we are aware, and oh boy is it small.

    At 80 x 30 x 15mm it is barely bigger than your thumb, unless you happen to be a gorilla that is. Of course,...

    OneClick IntelliPanel Energy saving power extension review

    4.5 REVIEW Can this help you save the planet? 13 September 2007 11:00 GMT

    Computing is not what it used to be, thank goodness. Only an old bloke called Albert hankers after the days when a personal computer required a room the size of my house and then took 4 years to say "hello world" after all.

    PCs have shrunk...

    Corsair Flash Padlock USB memory drive review

    3.0 REVIEW Can this memory drive offer the ulitmate protection? 31 August 2007 13:00 GMT

    I cannot recall ever seeing a larger USB memory drive than the Corsair Padlock, and I’m not referring to the meagre 2GB capacity either.

    Nope, this is quite the most humungously huge device around. To think of it as a thumb drive you would...
