Review: Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 »
With the kind of style you would not usually associate with Microsoft, this portable keyboard is sure to be a useful accessory for netbook users that find their keyboards to be that little bit too fiddly. Keyboards are not exactly something you would – or for that matter should – get too excited about. That said they are extremely ...Read On »
Review: Samsung Galaxy Spica »
Samsung's Galaxy Spica boasts the Android OS and a heap of solid specs under its hood but the handset is a poorly-designed disappointment, says Adam Maguire. Technology giant Samsung has done extremely well in the touchscreen phone market to date - its Tocco and Tocco Lite handsets have sold well in the mid-market while its Jet has pushed ...Read On »
Palm Pre review »
Palm's long-awaited 'iPhone killer' has finally hit Irish shores and while it is a likeable phone in many ways it fails to pack a punch that would threaten Apple or Nokia. Palm was once the king of the personal digital assistant (PDA) but unfortunately for the company by the time such a device became popular the likes of the Blackberry had ...Read On »
HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 review »
The HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 is a great printer for any small office or home user but its lack of scanning abilities takes the shine off even if it does save on space. It is easy to assume that one printer is as good as the other when you are looking at them in the shop but the minor flaw that is apparent at first soon becomes a massive ...Read On »
Nokia E75 review »
The Nokia E75 adds a touch of style and personality to the hum-drum business phone but Symbian operating system could have done with the same kind of makeover. A welcome break from a world seemingly full of touchscreens, the Nokia E75 is one of the latest phones by the Finnish company that shows the blurring line between business and ...Read On »
Xerox Work Centre 3210 Printer review »
Xerox's Work Centre 3210 pitches itself as the ideal print solution for small businesses with a small budget however its many design flaws make it an unattractive option. The bog-standard, sub-€100 is a fine choice for home users while big companies can justify investing in more heavy-duty machinery if needs be. For those in the middle, ...Read On »
Epson Stylus SX515W review »
The Epson Stylus SX515W printer gets the balance right in pitching itself as a fast and efficient home printer that can cater for easy photo and document printing. 3-in-1 printers - which combine printing, scanning and photocopying functionality in one device – are not exactly hard to come by nowadays, nor are they too expensive. For anyone ...Read On »
Canon Powershot A2100 IS review »
The Powershot A2100 IS attempts to bridge the gap between casual and professional photography and while it leans more towards the consumer end of the market, it does so with a lot of power. The Canon Powershot range in general aims to appeal to photographers who want something that bit more serious without the huge price-tag weighing it ...Read On »
Samsung Solid Extreme review »
The tactic of mobile manufacturers has generally been to attract customers with more advanced or stylish phones than the one they already own; with the Solid Extreme Samsung ignores both selling points and pushes the durability factor instead. Neither end of the mobile market today can be identified by the sturdiness of its handsets. At the ...Read On »
Canon IXUS 110 IS review »
While Canon representatives have previously said 10 megapixels is enough for anyone, the IXUS 110 IS shows the company is willing to give people more than they need, as long as they are willing to pay for it. There is no denying that the compact camera market – which is aimed primarily at casual photographers – is past its period of rapid ...Read On »
