Viewsonic - VX2260wm
bargain-priced 1080p widescreen 22-inch display - 06/01/2009
Widescreen displays are becoming pretty commonplace in the PC monitor market, and rightly so considering the increasing abundance of widescreen video content and modern games that support this mode. Viewsonic is targeting the ‘budget' market with ...
Epson - EH-TW3000
Low-cost 1080p projector - 06/01/2009
Arriving hot on the heels of the impressive Sanyo PLV-Z700, Epson's EH-TW3000 is another low-cost 1080p projector. It's not going to win any awards for style, but the off-white chassis should at least blend in nicely ...
Mandriva - Mandriva Linux 2009
desktop Linux distro - 06/01/2009
Another year has just started and with it comes a clutch of new Linux distro releases, among them the somewhat predictably named Mandriva Linux 2009. As with previous versions, the 2009 implementation of Mandriva Linux is ...
Asus - EeePC 901 on Orange mobile broadband
Orange's 'free' netbook is the super Eee PC 901 from Asus - 05/01/2009
Asus can be credited with having started the whole netbook idea off (at least in its current incarnation - we haven't forgotten Psion). Even if you want to argue against that proposition, perhaps opting for Intel ...
Kerio Technologies - Kerio Mail Server 6.6
Email messaging and collaboration server - 05/01/2009
Because of its huge market share it's easy to forget that Microsoft's Exchange Server isn't the only email and collaboration server on the block. Indeed, if you're a small business there are plenty of cheaper and ...
Ascaron - King's Bounty: The Legend
role playing mixed with turn based combat - 05/01/2009
King's Bounty doesn't concern an epic quest to retrieve the monarch's long lost coconut-flavoured chocolate bar. There are, however, a great many quests to undertake in the game and some of them are definitely slightly silly. ...
Compro - Videomate S500
efficient way to watch digital telly on your PC - 02/01/2009
Given the pending digital television switchover in the UK, and the increasing affordability and feasibility of media PCs, it's inevitable that the influx of sub-£50 digital viewing solutions is going to look appealing. Compro's VideoMate S500 ...
New Star Games - New Star Soccer 4
the best football game you've never heard of - 02/01/2009
If you're looking for a football game with the gloss of a FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer, then it's fair to say that New Star Soccer 4 isn't it. The work primarily of one man, it ...
Citrix - XenServer 5
Virtualisation hypervisor - 01/01/2009
The commercial version of the open source Xen virtualisation product, XenServer is what's referred to as a hypervisor. That means it can be installed and run directly on bare hardware instead of being loaded as an ...
Lexmark - X7675
all-in-one business inkjet printer, scanner, copier and fax - 31/12/2008
Because they can also be used for scanning, copying and faxing, multi-function or all-in-one printers are understandably popular with both home and small business users. But they're not all created equal, the Lexmark X7675 turning out ...
Samsung - NV9
stylish 10-megapixel compact camera with battery and memory status dials - 31/12/2008
How many times have you taken your compact camera out with you, unsure as to whether to trust those two little bars left on the battery symbol? Battery life is notorious for being temperamental on compact ...
Canon - imageFORMULA DR-3010C
high-speed, high-volume, document scanner - 30/12/2008
You can tell by the price tag that the imageFORMULA DR-3010C from Canon isn't your average desktop scanner. Indeed, at up to 30 double-sided pages per minute it's one of the quickest you can buy and, ...
E-TEN - Glofiish V900
Windows Mobile smartphone with built-in TV antenna - 30/12/2008
If you are looking for a Windows Mobile Professional smartphone you have lots of choice. But if you want to add live mobile TV into the mix, you need to look at the E-TEN V900 as ...
DVICO - TViX R-3300
upgradeable media jukebox, streamer and PVR - 30/12/2008
We recently reviewed DVICO's TViX 6500a, the supposed ‘world's most advanced jukebox', and were left with mixed feelings about its balance between performance and usability. The company has recently released a ‘baby brother' if you like, ...
TomTom - Go 540 Live
high-end sat-nav with built-in GPRS - 29/12/2008
Right from the outset, TomTom's Go 540 Live, which comes pre-installed with UK and Ireland mapping, makes a good impression. Its sleek, rounded chassis looks great and you get the feeling it will withstand the occasional ...
Samsung - i8510
8-megapixel phone with plenty of other extras - 29/12/2008
For quite a while now, 5 megapixels has been the ceiling for mass-market cameraphones. But that has all changed with a flurry of mobiles from Sony Ericsson and LG offering a staggering 8 megapixels. Samsung is ...
BenQ - MP522ST
portable short-throw business projector - 29/12/2008
BenQ's latest series of short-throw projectors has created a big stir in the market and the MP522ST is the second in the recently released trio (we reviewed the MP771 last month). While the third - the ...
Samsung - D860
8.2-megapixel camera for under £50 sounds too good to be true - 26/12/2008
Just a year or two ago, an 8-megapixel camera would easily be justifying a price tag three times what's being asked for the Samsung D860. And while this 8.2-megapixel unit does show signs of corners been ...
TuneUp - TuneUp Utilities 2009
all-in-one optimisation suite to help squeeze the most from your PC - 23/12/2008
Most people would probably agree that PC maintenance isn't as high a priority as it used to be. As such we'd expect the success of software like TuneUp Utilities to suffer from the fact that people ...
Nokia N810, my new PDA
it's still not a phone - 11/11/2008
After a gap of several years, I now own a PDA again. My last Psions, both 3mx and 5mx, passed into the great eBay clearance sale some time ago, because although I love the SIBO and ...
