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 DualShock 3 review

Hit the virtual road with the Sony DualShock 3 games controller. Finally, the feeling of firing your gun in a first-person shooter like Resistance becomes more realistic with the rumble feature on this controller. It also includes motion sensing and Bluetooth wireless connectivity 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

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

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

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 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

Amazon Kindle Keyboard 3G review

The restrictive DRM and lack of support for the EPUB file format is disappointing, but we can't deny the Kindle 3G is an excellent ebook reader that makes finding, downloading and reading books a pleasure. Read more
