Toshiba NB100

In the face of an identical hardware platform, Toshiba's netbook fails to bring a unique point of difference.

Kaiser Baas Signature 15-inch Digital Photo Frame

The Kaiser Baas Signature digital photo frame is one of the nicest frames on the market despite having a very limited feature set. You'll literally pay a premium for this though, because it costs an absolute fortune.

Buzz! Quiz TV

Thanks to its wireless buzzers and online play, the first Buzz for PS3 is a must have for trivia or party game fans. Make sure you have a widescreen TV though.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700

Sony's T700 is a winner in the looks department, but beneath the brushed metal exterior lies a clever way to share photos. With 4GB of internal memory and a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, the T700 is a good, if slightly expensive camera, especially given that image quality isn't always up to scratch.

Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.

Kodak ESP 5 All-in-One Printer

Kodak sells the ESP 5 on its cheap printing capabilities. Sadly, in this context, cheap equals not very good.

BlackBerry Bold 9000

The Bold is what BlackBerry fans have been waiting for. It's feature-rich and sharply designed, let down in small measure by some cumbersome software.

Nikon Coolpix P60

Stolid rather than sexy, competent rather than classy, the boxy Nikon Coolpix P60 is a belt-and-braces, real ale-supping point-and-shoot. The cool kids won't be impressed, but we're always glad to see a compact that gives such reliable images

SanDisk Sansa Fuze

Hey there, Nano killer! The Sansa Fuze has its sights set on Apple's skinny player, but comes up a little short. Still, with its extra features and ease of use, it's one to put on the shortlist.

LG Micro HiFi System FB163

It's clad in a pretty package, but the FB163 disappoints on the performance front, offering confusing iPod features and an arguably superfluous USB recording function.

Sagem my511x

Like a bug in amber, the buttons on the 511 are maddeningly trapped within a translucent substance. For this reason, we can't recommend it.

HP Pavilion dv2633XT Special Edition 'Verve'

The Verve is near perfect -- though it wouldn't hurt HP to squeeze out a little more battery life, thin out the crapware and to start supplying some realistic driver downloads.

Toshiba Satellite A200 (Pentium 1.86Ghz, 1GB RAM)

The Satellite A200 is a decent machine for basic productivity needs, but otherwise does little to mark it out from the budget laptop pack.

Tannoy i30 iPod speaker

All up, the i30 is a solid performer in a refined-looking package, but we were craving more bass from its deep drivers.

Kodak EasyShare ZD710

The Kodak EasyShare ZD710 features a good range of manual controls in a basic superzoom setup. Screen, viewfinder and zoom controls are lame, but otherwise this simple, lightweight camera is both cute and capable.

Creative MuVo T200 (4GB)

It's tough trying to live up to your older sibling. Just ask Creative's MuVo T200, which struggles to match the company's Zen Stone on every spec.

Pentax welcomes another unfortunately named dSLR into its fold, the unpronounceable *ist DS.

Reis Shadow Guitar speakers

Here's a set up that yells out -Let's Party!" These hi-fi speakers are fitted in electric guitar bodies and the subwoofer is housed in a drum case.

Sony Ericsson W960i

So close yet so far: the feature-packed W960i smartphone stands out on paper but is held back by a clunky processor and a laggy interface.

Motorola ROKR E6

The E6 tries valiantly to be a smartphone and a sexy consumer gadget. It's a pity then, that it didn't try that little bit harder.
