Amazon Kindle (international version) review
Finally available in the UK, the Kindle ebook reader is a smashing piece of kit. Its e-ink display closely resembles a printed page and poses little risk of eyestrain, it's undeniably well-designed, and it couldn't be easier to download ebooks. Amazon's digital bookstore could do with some work, though Read more

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim review
The PlayStation 3 Slim is the best version yet of Sony's gaming console. Its gaming and media-playback capability is little changed, and Sony's cut some features, like Linux support, but it's smaller, quieter and, crucially, cheaper. If you've been holding off on buying a PS3, this is the version to go for Read more

Sony PlayStation 3 (80GB) review
Still the best value Blu-ray player on the market, the PlayStation has had a hard-drive upgrade to 80GB -- plenty of space to store downloaded games, demos and media. With rapidly improving online services and exclusive games line-up, the PS3 is better than ever Read more

Nintendo Wii review
Underplaying processing power and using a strange new controller setup could have been major mistakes. But we think Nintendo has pulled it off. It's strange, it's new and it's not as powerful as other consoles, but the Wii succeeds in its primary mission: fun Read more

Sony Reader PRS-505 review
Sony's newly released Reader PRS-505 trumps the competiting ebook readers, if you ask us. Its design is more attractive and it's significantly cheaper than its rivals. It's also rather pleasant to use, with a 600x800-pixel resolution e-ink display that simply doesn't feel like a screen Read more

Sony PlayStation Vita review
The powerful PlayStation Vita offers dual-analogue controls and a big, bright screen but it's bulky, battery life's so-so and it's pricey. Read more

Microsoft Xbox 360 Slim review
The Xbox 360 Slim is the best console on the market today. It improves on its predecessors with a slick design, reduced fan noise and a generous hard-drive size. Its chassis collects fingerprints like an obsessed forensic scientist, but this machine offers really good value for money Read more

Alertme review
The Alertme system is designed to tell you if your home is being broken into. With sensors set up around your home, it then texts you or a neighbour if they pick anything up while you're out. But beware, it's pricey at £399 plus subscription fee, and there are some pretty serious limitations Read more

iriver Story review
The Story is packed with features, such as its voice-recording capability and Qwerty keyboard, but many potential purchasers of an ebook reader are likely to find them irrelevant. Fortunately, its lengthy battery life, clear screen and excellent file-format support mean this Story has a happy ending Read more
