Three INQ1 Phone review »
The INQ1 promises social media integration at a low price – a clear pitch to students and young “Facebookers” alike. Three claims that the INQ1 is the world’s first social media mobile but this is not entirely true – a few free downloads from the iPhone’s App Store will turn their device into a social media powerhouse in no ...Read On »
Samsung NC10 review »
Coming relatively late to the netbook party seems to have done Samsung the world of good with its polished but imperfect NC10. Samsung is usually associated more with flat-screen TVs and mobile phones than laptops but if the NC10 is anything to go by this should change in the near future. At first glance this entry to the netbook ...Read On »
Canon Powershot SX1 IS review »
The Powershot SX1 takes fantastic photographs and video recordings, although its mass of buttons and temperamental nature can sometimes make getting there a chore. Canon’s Powershot range has a very logical place in the company’s product hierarchy. It sits below the EOS range, which offers DSLRs (digital single-lens reflex) for high-end ...Read On »
Lenovo IdeaPad S10e review »
The ‘netbook’ market is more than just saturated – it is flooded. Every major computer manufacturer bar Apple now has at least one ultra-portable, ultra-cheap laptop on the market and some – such as Asus – seem to be building their entire business plan around them. Lenovo has been a quiet manufacturer generally speaking, not just ...Read On »
Iomega 500GB ScreenPlay HD review »
The Iomega ScreenPlay HD certainly makes digital content easily viewable on a television; however the limited way in which content can be added to it makes it a more awkward experience than it really should be. Even the most casual of computer users are becoming increasingly reliant on their PC for entertainment. With broadband speeds and ...Read On »
LG Renoir review »
LG’s latest attempt at a touch-screen phone is a vast improvement on its predecessor but the device still fails to live up to the high benchmark set by its rivals. LG has plenty of experience in developing touch-screen phones in recent years – arguably more than any other manufacturer out there. First they made the ‘Prada’ phone, ...Read On »
Canon IXUS 980 IS digital camera review »
Canon’s IXUS 980 IS raises the bar in terms of what a point-and-shoot camera can offer and while it is arguably one of the chunkier ‘compact’ cameras on the market the device’s larger footprint is certainly put to good use. In the land of the digital camera, pixel count is king; at least that is what most casual photographers are ...Read On »
Elonex’s Web-book review »
While the Carphone Warehouse-branded and Elonex-built Web-book is sure to be a contender for those looking to buy a mid-market ‘netbook’ there is little here that truly sets the device apart from the competition. With the vast array of mini-laptop devices available today the ‘netbook’ classification has gone from being a niche to ...Read On »
Nokia E71 review »
Sitting somewhere in between Apple’s iPhone and RIM’s Blackberry in terms of looks, the Nokia E71 offers practically every function you could wish for in one device but is hindered by its minuscule keyboard. Nokia is no stranger to business phones, in fact nearly half of all smart-phones sold so far this year were made by the Finnish ...Read On »
HP MiniNote 2133 review »
HP’s MiniNote ticks all the boxes when it comes to specs, style and size but a number of irritating design flaws stop the machine from being the perfect purchase. With its brushed aluminium casing HP’s inaugural entry to the sub-laptop market certainly gives the impression of being more substantial than its sometimes flimsy rivals, ...Read On »
