Reviews

  • iRiver B30

  • 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.

    The next instalment, coming in October, offers pumped up visuals, error prone AI drivers and a rewind feature to undo nasty little incidents, like dates with the Armco.

  • Apple iPod Classic 160GB

    The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life and intuitive user interface.

  • Netgear Wireless-N Router WNR2000

    The Netgear Wireless-N Router WNR2000 is a good fit for those who just need a simple wireless network and the ability to control access to the internet.
