Reviews

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

A Trojan horse in a field full of cardboard cutouts, the new Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini delivers fine sound in an affordable package.
OXX Digital Classic DAB+

The OXX Digital Classic DAB+ takes the strengths of the company's previous model and adds DAB+ making it one of the best value table-top models on the market.
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is significantly cheaper than most other touchscreen handsets on the market. While it's nowhere near as slick as the iPhone or HTC Hero, we still reckon it offers a good user experience for the price.
Garmin Nuvi 5000

It might be perfect for truck drivers, but the 5.2-inch Garmin 5000 is a bit too big for us car-bound road denizens. And the lack of Bluetooth hands-free, lane guidance and junction view condemns it to also-ran status.
Jabra Halo

Jabra's Halo is stylish to look at, but just too fiddly to use on a regular basis.
INQ Mini

Sporting a funky, small design and social networking features this phone is a great choice for both the young and young at heart.
Panasonic Viera TH-P50V10A

The Panasonic Viera TH-P50V10A is a 50-inch plasma that features great pictures but only so-so sound. There are better value models in the Viera range.
Yamaha RX-V2065

The Yamaha RX-V2065 sounds as proficient with music as it does with movies and has much to offer as the centre of any home theatre system.
