Typical price: £90
What is it: Photo and audio playback device for your TV
What we think: Its poor video support means it's not perfect, but if you have a Freeagent portable hard drive it's quite a capable photo and audio streamer

| Review summary | As a photo and audio device, the Freeagent Theater is not bad at all. We rather enjoyed photo slideshows while we listened to some MP3s in the background. This isn't the sort of device that will suit people looking for a good video solution, but it would be a handy if you throw plenty of dinner parties and want background visuals and music Read full review |
The Slingbox Pro is awesome. If you're looking for a way to enjoy what's on your home TV regardless of your physical whereabouts, it simply cannot be beaten. Read full review |
While it's not the cheapest single speaker surround sound system on the market, it's right up there with the best, not only in terms of performance but also of design. Compact, sturdily built and attractive to look at, it delivers surprisingly effective multi-channel sound without the fuss and mess of a full 5.1 speaker setup Read full review |
The A-110 is a decent improvement over the original A-100, with a few useful features that will be attractive to some. The price increase is quite significant, but if you must have HDMI 1.3, DTS decode and SATA support, you'll think it worthwhile Read full review |

Fine for the price, but we have concerns about their durability, and their bass can be overpowering
Seagate Replica
Takes all the hassle out of backing up, but some will want more flexibility and storage capacity
Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300
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
