Cygnet is an Australian manufacturer of iPod accessories, the usual array of FM transmitters, cases and a couple of alarm clock docks.

So you might forgive me for not expecting great things of the Unison i-X5 kit that arrived on our doorstep...

iPod speaker docks are not exactly short on the ground, covering pretty much every possible requirement from tinny pocket sized rubbish to valve driven audiophile tamers.

Finding an angle to break into such a saturated market is not easy...

To get geek just for a minute, the Intel XScale 416MHz processor packing 256MB of Flash ROM and 64MB SDRAM memory, a 240 x 320 display with effective anti-glare touch screen and displaying 65,000 colours, Bluetooth 2 and 802.11b+g Wi-Fi, and Windows Mobile...

For most people, most of the time, using anything other than a combination of a keyboard and mouse is mostly useless. Alternative input devices come and go, but the killer combo firmly remain. Can the Wacom Bamboo change that?

Not on its...

The DSM-520 is entering a pretty crowded sector of the entertainment technology marketplace, namely that of putting high definition video content on to your television in your living room, bedroom or wherever else you might want that HD to be.

The Yoggie Pico Pro is a USB thumb drive with no space for you to store stuff on. But don't panic, it does come with 15 security applications pre-installed, and it does throw in a Linux OS, and it does pack a 520MHz PXA270 Intel processor on board, and...

SanDisk actually sent us two new USB thumb drives in the well established Cruzer range to review, the other one being the Enterprise which is less Star Trek and more The Apprentice. By which we mean it is aimed squarely at the large corporations which...

The quirky, and we have to say slightly politically incorrect considering it's a German product, named Fritz!Box takes a scattergun approach to the market. Aiming in equal measure at home users and business, home workers and offices, it not too surprisingly...

JoeSoft was founded with the simple aim of producing affordable products that the "Average Joe" could use, something that it has succeeded on both counts with when it comes to Klix. Or at least it has now that the company has had a rethink and reduced...

Regular readers will know that I suffer from ITS-OCD, IT Security Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have to encrypt my data three times before I leave the building and insist on changing my pass-phrase every hour.

OK, so it’s not really that...

PopCap Games is probably best known for its sublime puzzler, Bejeweled. Hugely successful, with more than 5 million sold since 2001, Bejeweled was recently inducted into the Computer Gaming World Hall of Fame, the first puzzle game to be honoured like...

Another day, another wireless router. At least that’s the way it seems, so what can the snappily named ZyXEL NBG-415N do to stand out from the crowd?

Well you might be forgiven for thinking that it is the speed that stands out, considering...

I have been a fan of the JBL OnStage iPod speaker dock for some time now, having stumbled across one when it first launched and I didn’t want to spend a small fortune on a large Bose speaker, which pretty much had the iPod market to itself.

This small, 240 x 172 x 33mm with a visible display area of 199 x 119mm, 16:9 ratio LCD television weighs in at less than 1kg making it truly portable unlike most portable tellies.

Although we will come back to the question of real world...

The small and light Cinergy HT Express from Terratec is the first hybrid TV tuner supporting the ExpressCard standard.

Hybrid because it receives both terrestrial DVB-T digital (Freeview in other words) and standard analogue television plus...

There are plenty of universal remote control devices on the market, and the main difference between them tends to be split between how many different devices they can control and how much you want to spend on them. But now you can add a third dimension...

Do not make the mistake of thinking about the SPH200D in terms of being a normal cordless telephone with the addition of Skype functionality as a bonus. You would have to be mad to cough up nearly £100 for such a thing. However, turn the assumption on...

The Noxon iRadio is the latest in this streaming internet radio device family, and the styling will quite simply polarise opinion.

We were split down the middle, I and my son loved the retro styling cues, my wife and daughter hated it. So...

Serious road warriors will know all too well about the serious problem created by serious heat in a very serious area of the trouser department by their laptop computers.

One company that came up with a serious solution many years ago was...

OK, confession time: I am not the greatest fan of PC gaming on the planet.

The fact that I have just splashed the cash for a PlayStation 3 tends to suggest I prefer my game playing fix on a dedicated console.

I have had to...

Hands up everyone who has an iPod or another MP3 player, a mobile phone, digital camera and maybe a portable games console such as the PSP or Nintendo DS.

OK, now keep your hands up if you carry two or three of these around with you pretty...

You might not think that a business card scanner is for you, after all they are usually rather bulky, rather expensive and unless you are a business person travelling around and shaking hands with suits then you won’t have anything to scan in the first...

Because I am a journalist I get to do journalist things like travel to interesting places, I am writing this review in a hotel room in Rome for example, and meet interesting people. Unfortunately, I often have to record what those interesting people are...

The concept is nothing new, it is that of the digital pen and paper: take notes on the paper pad and everything you write or draw is also immediately copied onto the built-in 32MB of Flash memory as a digital image that can be transferred to your PC later...

There are two big truths that need to be stated right at the start of this review so we all know where we stand:

Truth 1. Listening to music through the speakers built in to your laptop is only slightly preferable to massaging your ears with...
