You probably haven’t heard of Netac, which is surprising because they actually invented the USB flash memory stick way back in 1999 and hold patents in both China and the USA, with EU patents pending.

Indeed, Netac is suing both Sony in China...

Look around the web and you’ll find no end of security locks for your laptop. Every conceivable variation has been thought of and sold, from the most basic wire and a padlock through to devices with motion sensors and whooping alarms.

The Buffalo WZR-G300N Draft 802.11n specification wireless router, access point and bridge is, for some strange reason, more commonly called the AirStation Nfiniti by the Buffalo press office folk we have spoken to.

The key bit being that...

The NavCam 7500 uses Navigator 2006 software provided by the those very nice men at the AA. As well as the usual 2D and 3D mapping, the voice alerts, and full seven digit postcode searching, this brings one unexpected delight to drivers of older bangers:...

Whatever you call them, memory sticks, flash or thumb drives, we find it hard to get excited by the things. Usually.

The PNY Attaché Pro got the hair on the back of our necks standing firm though, thanks to the none-too-shabby 4GB capacity...

Media Centre PCs are not uncommon, but by the same token there has never been anything vaguely common about the Evesham eBox range.

It can genuinely lay claim to being the original sleek, non-PC looking, designed to fit into your living room...

Lite-On are on something of a roll, establishing quite a reputation for innovation without the usual high price tag. So we were keen to take a look at the EZ-DUB external DVD writer with its fast burning automated simplicity.

It’s a bit of...

It sounds wonderful doesn’t it? Straight out of a science fiction movie in fact: the ability to lock down your computer so that only someone unfortunate enough to look exactly the same as you can access it.

But like all other such wonderfully...

There are plenty of external USB hard drive storage devices around these days, many at a lower price point than the Buffalo DriveStation, so it would have to be something special to capture our attention.

Thankfully it is, and in so many ways....

Now we didn’t exactly hold out a lot of hope for the ridiculously named Nimzy Vibro Blaster. Not least because the last such item (the Soundbug) like all gizmos that promise to turn any flat surface into a speaker, well, didn’t. Or rather it didn’t well:...

Oh no, not another MP3 player you say? To which we reply, correct: this is not just another MP3 player.

The very idea that SanDisk, makers of memory cards, would come up with such a device following the frankly laughable effort that was the...

M-Audio is best known for the tools it provides for your actual, real life, professional audio types. Which is why it came as something of surprise to see them entering into the Podcast market which is, let’s face it, perceived more as being for amateur...

Home automation isn’t anything new, this reviewer has had remote controlled dimmer switches and curtains that close automatically when a movie starts playing for many years now.

But this reviewer is a geek who cobbled together disparate solutions...

If you had to use one word to describe these Sweex headphones it would be "bulky". The sheer size of the headphones themselves will scare small children reared on iPods, to which you can add the external amplifier come cable breakout box and the power...

To be honest with you, we find it very hard to get too excited about a DVD ReWriter, but we’ll do our best.

Wow! It’s SolidBurn enabled and features Tilt Control and Walking Optimal Power Control 2, as well as featuring LightScribe printing....

This PCI card solution combines digital TV and radio reception via your PC, courtesy of the most widely used TV standard in the world, DVB-S.

This has the advantage of not requiring a TV aerial to be connected, avoiding the usual plight of...

The real test of any such device is how well it works in getting you from A to B, without going via C, D and Z along the way.

In this respect the BM6300-TMC is very hard to fault indeed. Not only are the maps installed bang up to date, they...

If you are over 30 you may remember audio cassette tapes, if you are over 40 you may still own some.

Not that you’ll be able to play them of course because just as computers increasingly don’t come with floppy drives any more so Hi-Fi is usually...

Chances are you clicked the previous link because you were intrigued at what on earth a Hawking HWU8DD is.

But before you pause to wonder how on earth you would need a device that looks more comfortable in a fall out shelter than on the pages...

Zip-linq are a firm favourite of ours. We just love the hardy "takes a whackin and keeps on retractin" pocketable cables these guys make. The pull once to extend, pull again to retract mechanism is highly addictive and therapeutic not to mention practical....

You can pick up an iPod Shuffle 512Mb for £50, although that has no screen of course, which is why Sapphire, who are better known for their PC graphics cards, has to bring something special to the table with its entry into an already very crowded marketplace....

There are two things we don't like about Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE): obviously one is that Microsoft can't spell "centre" properly, the other is the fact that there's no getting away from the fact that your TV is really a PC when you've got...

Usually the phrase "only available from Currys, Dixons and PC World" sends a bigger shiver up our spine than the memory of Keith Chegwin naked on the telly.

However, as well as being good value for money, the GPS 400 manages to pack quite...

It’s a scenario that’s played out in houses across the nation, you want to get your internet connection to a part of the house that your wireless network just can’t reach.

OK then, try good old Ethernet then? Ah yes, this would be fine apart...

We knew we were in for something special when the box arrived because it was just so small, considering there was a 20.1 inch widescreen LCD inside.

Opening it up confirmed our suspicions as we were met by a shimmering brushed aluminium sculpture...
