Reviews

  • 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 PSP-3000

    With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP — and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV device or laptop, it will be good for most portable gaming and multimedia needs.

  • Asus VW223B

    The Asus VW223B is acceptable for its intended audience — those who need to add a second monitor cheaply, and are undemanding in its use.

  • Sony PlayStation 3 (40GB)

    Sony's built the PlayStation 3 with a definite eye on the future. Can it maintain its lead in the gaming arena with its new console?

  • O2 Xda Flame

    The Flame promises a lot, and delivers a lot -- both in raw size and features. It is sadly let down by its battery life, however.

  • Bose 3-2-1 Series II

    This is a beautifully designed system, with great features for the price.

  • O2 Xda Atom Life

    The Atom Life tries very hard to bridge the gap between serious business tools and lifestyle gadgets. It's surprising, then, that it's a better business tool than fun phone.

  • O2 Xda Zinc

    With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.
