Review: Advent 5301 laptop
Thursday, 24 July 2008

Laptops are getting cheaper all the time, but are they so cheap that you think the manufacturer is cutting corners. Advent hopes that with a Dual Core Intel chip and two gig of Ram under the bonnet, this thought would be the furthest from your mind.



Is Nintendo working on Wii hard drive?
Thursday, 24 July 2008

The one thing that could be said was the main drawback about the Wii is the lack of storage. OK, there is the internal memory and when that runs out you can fit a 2GB SD card. But with the success of Wiiware and the Virtual Console, Nintendo has finally admitted that the lack of storage could be a problem.

Sony brings Kindle rival Reader to Europe
Thursday, 24 July 2008

Now, I'm not sure just how many of you will swap your dead-tree reading devices for something a bit more twenty-first century, but Sony hopes you'll ditch the normal paperback for its new e-book reader called, err, the Reader.

First Look Review: Cellenden Bluetooth headset
Wednesday, 23 July 2008

Bluetooth headsets are certainly getting smaller. Oh how we laughed when we saw the first ones. They were quite big. Although to be honest we laughed more at the journalist that was wearing it at the time (nobody seemed to like him and I never got the bottom of this reason). Anyway, he's not a hack anymore and Bluetooth headsets are a lot smaller. The new headset from Cellenden is so small, it threatens to make you look like one of those differently sane people who appear to talk to thems...

Disney previews top Christmas toys
Wednesday, 23 July 2008
Yesterday we visited the House of Mouse. No really, Disney had kitted out a home with all its film-branded toys, games and home furnishings to show us what will be big this Christmas. Expect High School Musical madness, Hannah Montana overload and enough Wall-Es to actually clean up the planet...

Tuesday, 22 July 2008
There might be a triple-hit of phones announced today from Sony Ericsson, but it's the first that has us excited. And by first, we mean the first Walkman handset to sport a 5-megapixel camera.
DVD vending machine invades Threshers
Tuesday, 22 July 2008
Will we all be renting DVDs from vending machines in the future? We could be, if a trial in a branch of Threshers in Cheltenham takes off...
3 tips Nokia E71 for great things
Monday, 21 July 2008
3 has been bigging up the stuff it reckons will be tickling your fancy this year and the Nokia E71 is top of the list. The company has exclusive rights to the white Pearl-bashing version and if you ask us it looks nicer than the BlackBerry Bold, being thinner and 7g lighter.

Satnavs cause accidents for 300,000 motorists
Monday, 21 July 2008
While we were in some traffic jam on the way Absolute Gadget towers this morning, we wondered how many car crashes had been caused by people paying too much attention to their trusty satnavs and not enough on the road. Thankfully Direct Line had a new survey out which holds the answer: 300,000.
September date for PlayStation 3 PlayTV
Monday, 21 July 2008
The UK might be left hanging on for TV and film rentals from the PlayStation Store, but at least Sony's video-recording accessory will be heading here sooner rather than later...
Review: Canon Pixma MX7600 All-in-one printer
Saturday, 19 July 2008
We thought that printers were supposed to be getting smaller and smaller, but this new MX7600 all-in-one printer from Canon came in a box so big and so heavy, we required the help of Mrs. Gadget to help lift it up the stairs! (We are weak and feeble geeks!)
