Sony Reader preview hands-on

The Sony Reader is an small, lightweight device that boasts an extra-large screen and has the capacity of holding up to 80 books at a time. It can also access blogs and RSS newsfeeds when docked to a PC, and you can view JPEGs, personal documents and PDFs. It might not be enough to kill the paperback but it's giving it a very good go Read more

Nintendo DS Lite review

The DS Lite makes the same fashion statement for videogame systems that the iPod did for MP3 players -- slimmed down and brightened up, it's a beauty. It may not have the multimedia capabilities of the Sony PSP, but it can play games online and the games themselves are colourful, innovative and lots of fun -- and the DS Lite is much cheaper Read more

Microsoft Xbox 360 review

The first of the next generation of videogame consoles, the Xbox 360 certainly sets the bar high for Sony and Nintendo. With spectacular graphical ability and a host of multimedia features, it'll fly off the shelves this Christmas.

Nintendo Game Boy Micro review

It's been 16 years since Nintendo invented handheld gaming with the Game Boy, but the Micro is more of a repackaging than a revolution. The third iteration of the hugely successful Game Boy Advance format, it offers a tiny form factor and a brighter screen -- but it doesn't cost much less than the more advanced DS Read more

Gizmondo Europe Gizmondo review

Although it falls miserably short of the glorious PSP in most respects, the Gizmondo has a certain homegrown British charm. It has some promising features that need software support to gain consumer interest, but in the meantime the Gizmondo looks likely to remain a curate's egg for gadget fans Read more

Sony PSP review

PSP stands for PlayStation Portable, but it might as well stand for 'Nintendo, you have a problem'. One of the most highly anticipated tech products to hit stores in recent memory, the Sony PSP largely delivers on its remarkable promises Read more
