Reviews

  • Samsung N110

    An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.

  • Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000

    The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 doesn't leave much room for complaint. It fits comfortably in your hand and works on almost any surface, thanks to Microsoft's BlueTrack sensor technology. It would make a useful addition to your mobile arsenal.

  • Aigo aiPower

    The aiPower is built well and works as advertised, but its awkward design means you'll likely detach the unit as soon as your iPhone battery is replenished.

  • NetComm 3G18Wn 3G USB 11n Wi-Fi Router

    The 3G18Wn provides good 802.11n performance, 3G USB modem compatibility and a great fall-back position for those using both wireless and wired internet connections.

  • Samsung N310

    The Samsung N310 is a fashion-conscious netbook that boasts a stunning design, but is pretty bog-standard in terms of features.

  • Sony Ericsson W508

    The W508 is a great phone for listening to music and playing games, but it's yet another Walkman phone from Sony Ericsson that doesn’t really standout from the pack.

  • Metal Gear Solid Touch

    Finicky controls and no real game to speak of make this Metal Gear game less than solid.

  • NetComm N3G005W 3G Wi-Fi Router

    Renters or those who want to mix and match broadband styles with a dab of 3G will do well with NetComm's N3G005W router, as long as you don't need lots of wired ports.
