| Review summary | Apple's hybrid 802.11n wireless router/networked hard drive offers some powerful data backup features for Mac owners, as well as Apple's typical pleasing design. Windows users and anyone who demands speed from their 802.11n network will be disappointed Read full review |
The Seagate FreeAgent Go is our favourite portable hard drive to date. The drive is well designed and fast, with a good transfer rate, and you won't find a better value for the price Read full review |
LaCie's Rugged All-Terrain portable hard drive is an all-round winner: it's fast, it's durable and it boasts multiple connection options. This belongs in your laptop bag Read full review |
The Fujitsu HandyDrive isn't very small or exceptionally well designed, but it's fast and cheap. We recommend it to those who are running out of space on their system hard drives Read full review |

Our favourite ebook reader so far, despite lacking much of the functionality found in competing devices
Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600
Capable, and a good choice for students, but it's more expensive than rivals and the glossy screen is horrible

Smashing piece of kit, but Amazon's digital bookstore just isn't ready for us to invest over £200 in

Good playback capabilities, but a bad remote control and lack of features reduce its appeal
