| Review summary | Considering how little it costs, it's hard to complain about the Western Digital WD TV. And, as much as we like the Seagate Freeagent Theater, it doesn't have anywhere near the same playback capabilities as the WD TV, which can play back proper 1080p video. The WD TV is also cheaper. All in all, this is a really good entry-level media player 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

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
