O2 – XDA Flint
O2′s XDA Flint is a strange beast of a device. It sits somewhere between the smartphone and the netbook in terms of size, though it is much more smartphone than netbook in terms of its features and capabilities. The device originally appeared as HTC’s Advantage, and stepped through several iterations, but it is no longer…
Majesco – Night At The Museum 2
It’s surprising, looking back, that there wasn’t a tie-in game for the first Night At The Museum movie. Okay, it was something of a surprise hit, but still, here was the basis for a potentially useful, action-filled family game. We’ve certainly seen worse getting the tie-in game treatment. That said, after spending time in the…

If you are one of the many that haven’t yet given it a try, ReallyEasyReader is a quick…
Nokia – E63
Nokia’s E series handsets are designed primarily with business users in mind, but that does not stop them having broader appeal, and in the case of the E63 the point is underlined by a relatively attractive SIM-free price as well as the presence of two home screens. This latter feature is potentially attractive to anyone…
O2 – Joggler
Described by O2 as being the ‘new fridge door’, the Joggler is a touch-screen device designed to act as a family organiser. Featuring an online calendar, it’s designed to be used as a hub for family members to keep on top of day-to-day tasks and chores. Looking a bit like a digital photo frame, the…
Sega – Virtua Tennis 2009
Given the fact that Virtua Tennis 2009 marks just the fourth entry in the franchise in around a decade, there was a real hope that – just because Sega had snuck a year name into the title – it was going to resist something akin to the annual update gravy train. And while it’s been…
LG – W2353V
The latest series of monitors from LG is the W53 range, and this not-so-little beast is the 23-inch model. It looks much as we’ve come to expect from LG: a slick black panel, with a trendy see-through strip running along the bottom and touch sensitive menu controls just above it. The touch sensitive buttons even…
