Mio and Navman have teamed up to offer you three affordable, functional and stylish models in their newly launched sat-nav range. Unimaginatively titled Navman Mio, there are some seriously great models on offer. You can choose between a 3.5 inch screen (on the Spirit 300) a 4.7inch screen (Spirit 500) and 4.7 incher (Spirit Flat). Unsurprisingly each device comes with built in GPS, but they're also synced up the ATIS traffic service, so you'll be warned of the latest jams and accident areas in plenty of time to avoid them.
Ricoh's latest camera has a certain retro appeal with its chunky styling and over sized body, and I was seriously bowled away by the amount of features it packed in; -the CMOS sensor meant that pictures taking was a joy.

Way back in January we were uber excited about the news of a new addition to the Sony walkman family, the brand spanking X Series walkman. It was debuted at CES,
and we learnt all about how it combined useful wireless capabilities with a gorgeous looking 3 inch OLED screen. That dream has just become a reality as the X series is available to purchase from today.
But how does this lovely looking MP3 player match up to the likes of the iPod Touch, arguably its biggest competitor? Will the OLED screen be enough to position this player at the top of the tree, or will it be fisticuffs at dawn? Read on to find out....
What seems like years ago, but was merely a couple of months, we told you all about the C510 from Sony Ericsson, an affordable camera phone that combines a 3.2 megapixel camera with a smile sensor and face detection.
It may not compare to the C905 in terms of megapixels, but for a budget model it sound like it may tick all the right boxes.
But how did it fare for usability? See after the jump for full review.
One day after telling you about the latest phone to get Android software, along comes a video that shows us just what the G2 is going to look like. And it's pretty damn impressive, A video camera, a larger trackball and a shiny white gloss finish (black for Italians). I think I'm a little bit in love!
Watch me compare it to the T-Mobile G1 after the jump
Last year we told you about EA Sports Active, EA's bid to get a slice of the Wii Fit market, and today we give you a sneak preview of the game, which is due out next month. I like how they've included resistance bands to use with the game, as that means you're working out more than just your legs, but will this game be the sellout they're hoping for? Watch and make up your own mind.

We love the Flip Mino when it came out last year as it was probably one of the easiest to use video cameras we'd ever laid our hands on. Well, Flip had to try and improve on something perfect, and they did this by giving the trusty camera HD wielding properties, that sent us to the next stratosphere of delight. Watch Dan go hands on with it below,

Not so long ago we told you all about Amusement, the French magazine that contains an RFID chip. The idea behind it is that when you purchase said magazine, you not only get physical content, but also virtual access to a variety of video and music feeds created specially for the mag. We test it out with the help of the trusty mir:ror RFID reader, but as I don't speak French I can only report on the ease of use, rather than the entrainment angle.
Yes, I'm sure many commuters were frustrated by these warbling leiderhosen dressed singers, but c'mon! Have a great Easter guys, see you next week!
The HP dv2 notebook was on show at CES 2009, but with all the chaos going on we didn't pay it much attention. Today we got to glimpse its sleek shiny curves just before it goes on sale, and are pretty impressed.

I got very hands on with the LG Arena, which can I say, is one might *mighty* fine handset. And I must admit, I got a little carried away... for a whopping 9 minutes and 36 seconds. What can I say? It's such a lush handset and although there are aspects of it that are a blatant iPhone rip-off, it is a great phone in its own right. See it in action in the video below... all nine minutes and 36 seconds of it (of course, you're not compelled to watch all of it).

A netbook with Hello Kitty all over it? Hmm. You'd assume they might have sacrificed substance for style, but surprisingly this isn't the case. I test drive the Medion S1211 and discover how impressive the specs are (160GB HDD anyone) whilst fighting my urge to call it cute.
It's no Canon (Zara loves those) but Zara quite likes what the Olympus Mju 9000 has to offer. The compact point and shooter has a pretty impressive zoom for such a small outer shell - "pretty bloody impressive", I believe are the words used to describe some of its features. Go on, check it out.

Dan and digital SLR's go together like gin and tonic, so it goes without saying then, that Dan quite likes his digital SLR's. This time round he gets hands on with Nikon's Coolpix L100, the super wide super zoom compact camera. With its great range of settings and features the end verdict means he's pretty impressed. But what do you think?

Last night we managed to get a sneak preview of the latest release from Seagate, their brand spanking new Freeagent Theater Media Player. It looks very stylish, with a black gloss finish, and is designed to be a dock for your Seagate hard drive (or any USB compatible device) that plugs straight into your TV. Though they call it a HD player, it surpisingly has no HDMI port.. but it does have a nifty 8x zoom feature you can use on images AND movies.

Shiny's been around since 2004 and durng that time we've managed to clock up an impressive 1252 videos. Some have more hits than others due to either including the word Apple in the title or having been the first site on the web to get product info up; but which ones do we feel desrve to make our hall of fame for entertainments sake?

After spending the week with Nokia's Blackberry-esque E63, it's completely won me over. In terms of specs and outer casing materials, it may be a slimmed down model of its predecessor the E71, but it still puts up a good fight, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing and easy to use smartphone. If blackberry's aren't your cup of tea, might I suggest giving the E63 a go.
The Dell E4200 Latitude may not be as aesthetically pleasing as the recently announced Adamo laptop, but according to Dan, it's a nice piece of mobile computing equipment and a great alternative to a netbook. The extended 6 cell battery lets the design down a bit, but without it, you lose the five to six hour battery life - so that decision would be up to you. Dan's pretty impressed and would buy one himself if it wasn't so damn pricey. He'd love someone to buy it for him. So if you're feeling generous... Alternatively you can bring home a Dell Latitude without paying full price with Dell coupon codes which you can use to get discounted rates.
Prices start from £1,037 from Amazon
I've just come back from holiday. Yeah, it was great, thanks for asking. Yeah, really hot. No, I just lay about and read books, to be honest. What? What do you mean, why am I telling you all this? Oh yes, I took a waterproof camera to get an idea of just how it stacked up under the ocean. And it stacked up superbly.

Dan got his hands on his first Micro Four Thirds, which is designed to feature all the specs of a SLR camera with a much more compact design. What it features in features, it terrifies in the number of buttons they've managed to pack on the body of the camera.
