Reviews

  • Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)

    The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.

  • HTC HD2

    HTC's HD2 reads like a perfectly balanced mathematical equation of geeky desire, and when compared to last year's Touch HD, this new model has pluses next to every spec.

  • Fake iPod Nano (4th generation)

    If it wasn't for the glitchy software and sub-standard battery life, the fake iPod Nano might have been almost as good as the real thing.

  • LG KS20

    A keyboard-less Windows Mobile handset may not be everyone's cup of tea, but LG plan to make it as easy as possible with its own custom interface.

  • Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch

    Wacom's new range of Bamboo graphics tablets are not just for designers and illustrators. The introduction of touch technology means that even people totally unfamiliar with tablets can now use the devices.

  • Apple iPod Nano (5th generation)

    Not sure which new iPod to choose? The Nano's fifth incarnation wins hands down, with FM tuner and video camera being more than just cheap gimmicks.

  • Apple iPod Touch 64GB (3rd generation)

    Not much doing here in Touch-land. A new 64GB model, no 16GB unit and price cuts for everyone! Oh, and a bit more performance.

  • Canon IXUS 200 IS

    Pairing a pretty touchscreen interface with a competent camera is always a good move, but we're a bit stuck as to what the 200 IS actually is: a touchscreen or a conventional compact.
