Reviews

  • SanDisk ImageMate All-In-One USB 2.0 Reader/Writer

    The SanDisk ImageMate reader is a stylish addition to any photographer's arsenal, and with a wide range of support for most card types, it's good value too.

  • iRiver Spinn

    There's no doubt the Spinn is a decent player, with great audio format support, a superb screen for watching video and excellent sound quality — but it's not without its share of issues.

  • HTC Touch Pro

    The Touch Pro is a step in the right direction for HTC. It's still a bit sluggish but overall it performs better than the Diamond, plus the keyboard is a winning touch.

  • Panasonic SDR-SW20

    The cool factor of waterproof gadgets is high, even when there's a subsequent trade-off in performance. Anyone going any deeper than snorkel depth will need to look elsewhere, but at least the price reflects the compromises made for that cheerily tough exterior.

  • Samsung i8

    Aimed at amateurs, the Samsung i8 is a user-friendly digital camera with strong multimedia functionality and helpful how-to guides. Slow performance and the sometimes frustrating logic of the main menu will mean this is probably one to skip unless you're interested in the bare basics.

  • Lexar Professional UDMA CompactFlash Dual-Slot Reader

    Most users won't need Lexar's Professional UDMA reader, but if you're already deep in the high-capacity, high storage flash market, it's a great buy.

  • Samsung NV24HD

    With a 24mm wide lens and 720p HD video-recording, Samsung's lightweight NV24HD packs a punch.

  • Casio Exilim EX-S10

    The 10-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-S10 is better than you'd expect from such a svelte snapper, thanks to a large screen and flexible features.

  • Memory cards: Make your phone more like an iPhone
