Nokia’s first Windows Phone effort was met with decent reviews, but not exactly staggering sales. Networks even complained about the cost of the Lumia 800. Now Nokia’s hoping to win the hearts and minds of the budget-conscious, Windows Phone-craving crowd with its cheaper Lumia 710, but is it any good? Read More >

Beats by Dre are great for listening to hip hop and looking cool around the city. But if you're not into their bottom-heavy sound, you're left out of the party. Read More >
Motorola's second attempt at a decent Android tablet certainly reeks of the original Xoom -- even the box states "this time around we've even beefed-up the battery life". But is the sequel a real winner or is it just another also-ran? Read More >

They're called "trade secrets" for a reason. And if the competition gets their hands on your company's IP because you drunkenly left it in a bar, you'll need stringent security to keep them from peeping—like the Victorinox Presentation Master's 256-bit AES encryption. It's a Swiss Army Knife on loan from MI6. Read More >

We've more or less accepted e-readers as the best way to read a book digitally, but there's still a whole lot that gadgets can do that e-readers suck at—literally anything you own with a screen is better at this stuff than an e-reader. The Kindle Touch is the first to really bridge that gap in a way that makes sense. Read More >
The Kindle Fire is stuck between e-ink minimalism and gleaming iPad decadence. That could either make it the goofy middle child in the tablet family, or a singular wunderkind. But the Fire will not be overlooked. Apple: Be afraid. Read More >

The Asus EeePad Transformer with its detachable keyboard dock has been one of the best-selling Android tablets yet. The EeePad Slider's keyboard is permanently attached, so you can type wherever you go. Better, right?! Maaaaaaybe. Read More >
The Canon S100—like its S-series predecessors—is an almost perfect compact camera with some drawbacks stemming from its pocket-friendly size. There's a lot of crazy tech on board. The Canon gods have outdone themselves; but that outdoing might be the camera's undoing. Read More >
Lomography has reached back into the past, rummaged around a bit, and pulled out their own version of a 35mm movie-maker. Novelty it may be, but at £65, that dinky black LomoKino box is one of the Austrian brand's cheapest-ever analogue cameras. Read More >

Bearing no other similarity to the original RAZR line-up other than its name, the Droid RAZR is not just the world's thinnest smartphone. It's fast, with an incredibly-crisp screen. It's also made from kevlar, but unless you're planning on shooting it, that's hardly the selling feature. It will also run Ice Cream Sandwich. Read More >

Archos used to be known for large capacity tablet-style media players. Now it's making Android tablets and the media-centric 10.1-inch G9 is one of its latest. It's a media power-house, but is it a bit of a one-trick pony? Read More >
