Reviews

  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X10

    Sony Ericsson has finally satisfied our curiosity and thrown the covers off its first Android-powered handset. A veritable powerhouse, the X10 features a 1GHz processor and a high resolution 4-inch display.

  • Motorola Dext

    Motorola has taken the wraps off its first Android-based smartphone and its exciting new Motoblur user interface. Can the Dext bring Motorola back from the brink?

  • Samsung Galaxy Icon

    While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.

  • Acer Aspire One D250

    For the price, it's hard to find fault with Acer's even cheaper version of the 10.1-inch Aspire One, as long as you're not expecting top-of-the-line features.

  • TomTom One 140

    Same, same but slightly better than before. Quicker responses and lane guidance justify slight premium over fourth-gen One.

  • HTC Hero

    HTC shows just how customisable Google's Android platform is, delivering a swag of home screen widgets out of the box. We can't wait to get our hands on the Hero.

  • Samsung i637 Jack

    Samsung's on to its third Blackjack Windows smartphone, and this could be its best to date. The i637 sports a sharp aesthetic, matched with a full-QWERTY keyboard and the standard connectivity options.

  • Acer Aspire One AOD150

    The new 10-inch Aspire One AOD150 will further cement Acer's lead in the netbook market, largely on account of its price.
