Reviews

WD My Passport Essential SE 1TB

Western Digital's 1TB Passport drive isn't pretty or cheap, but its bland look belies the storage and backup goodies within.
LaCie Starck Mobile

LaCie clearly spent a lot of time designing the look and feel of the Starck Mobile Hard Drive, but it trips up on the basic essentials like weight, ease of use, cost per gigabyte and transfer speed.
Flip MinoHD

Although ultimate image quality and features are sacrificed on the altar of price and pocketability, the MinoHD should be on casual videographers shortlists.
BenQ Joybee GP1

The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a small and impressive LED pico-projector, but you'll pay handsomely for the "wow" factor.
Sony Ericsson Yari

The Yari looks great but doesn't have stellar features or applications. If you're in it for the games then be prepared for a serious disappointment.
Philips GoGear Opus

The slow interface probably kills what would have been an excellent player with decent format support and great sound quality.
Apple iTunes 9

iTunes 9 is a natural, yet relatively minor, evolution of Apple's popular media management software and is a required download for new iPod owners.
Asus M60J

Core i7 is here in mobile form. Some vendors will be attempting to rush these laptops out as close to the Windows 7 launch as possible. Keep an eye out — looks like the season to upgrade is well and truly upon us.
