- Mandriva - Mandriva Linux 2009
desktop Linux distro: Another year has just started and with it comes a clutch of new Linux distro releases, among them the somewhat predictably named Mandriva Linux 2009. As with previous versions, the 2009 implementation of Mandriva Linux is...
- Epson - EH-TW3000
Low-cost 1080p projector: Arriving hot on the heels of the impressive Sanyo PLV-Z700, Epson's EH-TW3000 is another low-cost 1080p projector. It's not going to win any awards for style, but the off-white chassis should at least blend in nicely...
- Viewsonic - VX2260wm
bargain-priced 1080p widescreen 22-inch display: Widescreen displays are becoming pretty commonplace in the PC monitor market, and rightly so considering the increasing abundance of widescreen video content and modern games that support this mode. Viewsonic is targeting the budget' market with...
- Ascaron - King's Bounty: The Legend
role playing mixed with turn based combat: King's Bounty doesn't concern an epic quest to retrieve the monarch's long lost coconut-flavoured chocolate bar. There are, however, a great many quests to undertake in the game and some of them are definitely slightly silly....
- Kerio Technologies - Kerio Mail Server 6.6
Email messaging and collaboration server: Because of its huge market share it's easy to forget that Microsoft's Exchange Server isn't the only email and collaboration server on the block. Indeed, if you're a small business there are plenty of cheaper and...
- Asus - EeePC 901 on Orange mobile broadband
Orange's 'free' netbook is the super Eee PC 901 from Asus: Asus can be credited with having started the whole netbook idea off (at least in its current incarnation - we haven't forgotten Psion). Even if you want to argue against that proposition, perhaps opting for Intel...
- New Star Games - New Star Soccer 4
the best football game you've never heard of: If you're looking for a football game with the gloss of a FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer, then it's fair to say that New Star Soccer 4 isn't it. The work primarily of one man, it...
- Compro - Videomate S500
efficient way to watch digital telly on your PC: Given the pending digital television switchover in the UK, and the increasing affordability and feasibility of media PCs, it's inevitable that the influx of sub-50 digital viewing solutions is going to look appealing. Compro's VideoMate S500...
- LucasArts - Star Wars: The Clone Wars Lightsaber Duels
third-person Jedi combat: Movies and computer games have always had a close tie, but only a handful of games have lived up to more than half the promise of the film originals. The Star Wars franchise in particular has...
- Citrix - XenServer 5
Virtualisation hypervisor: The commercial version of the open source Xen virtualisation product, XenServer is what's referred to as a hypervisor. That means it can be installed and run directly on bare hardware instead of being loaded as an...
- Samsung - NV9
stylish 10-megapixel compact camera with battery and memory status dials: How many times have you taken your compact camera out with you, unsure as to whether to trust those two little bars left on the battery symbol? Battery life is notorious for being temperamental on compact...
- Lexmark - X7675
all-in-one business inkjet printer, scanner, copier and fax: Because they can also be used for scanning, copying and faxing, multi-function or all-in-one printers are understandably popular with both home and small business users. But they're not all created equal, the Lexmark X7675 turning out...
- DVICO - TViX R-3300
upgradeable media jukebox, streamer and PVR: We recently reviewed DVICO's TViX 6500a, the supposed world's most advanced jukebox', and were left with mixed feelings about its balance between performance and usability. The company has recently released a baby brother' if you like,...
- E-TEN - Glofiish V900
Windows Mobile smartphone with built-in TV antenna: If you are looking for a Windows Mobile Professional smartphone you have lots of choice. But if you want to add live mobile TV into the mix, you need to look at the E-TEN V900 as...
- Canon - imageFORMULA DR-3010C
high-speed, high-volume, document scanner: You can tell by the price tag that the imageFORMULA DR-3010C from Canon isn't your average desktop scanner. Indeed, at up to 30 double-sided pages per minute it's one of the quickest you can buy and,...
- BenQ - MP522ST
portable short-throw business projector: BenQ's latest series of short-throw projectors has created a big stir in the market and the MP522ST is the second in the recently released trio (we reviewed the MP771 last month). While the third - the...
- Samsung - i8510
8-megapixel phone with plenty of other extras: For quite a while now, 5 megapixels has been the ceiling for mass-market cameraphones. But that has all changed with a flurry of mobiles from Sony Ericsson and LG offering a staggering 8 megapixels. Samsung is...
- TomTom - Go 540 Live
high-end sat-nav with built-in GPRS: Right from the outset, TomTom's Go 540 Live, which comes pre-installed with UK and Ireland mapping, makes a good impression. Its sleek, rounded chassis looks great and you get the feeling it will withstand the occasional...
- Valve - Left 4 Dead
an online army of undead ripe for the slaughter: Zombies are very popular these days. Which is surprising: you'd think their general hostile demeanour and lack of table manners would be off-putting. Vampires are big, too, but it's the shambling decaying corpses that Valve has...
- Samsung - D860
8.2-megapixel camera for under 50 sounds too good to be true: Just a year or two ago, an 8-megapixel camera would easily be justifying a price tag three times what's being asked for the Samsung D860. And while this 8.2-megapixel unit does show signs of corners been...
