Posted on 26-Oct-2010 15:45Tags Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas

The QNAP TS-659 Pro+ review
Posted on 4-Oct-2010 15:06Tags Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
The brand new QNAP TS-659 Pro+ is yet another example of a small, but fully featured NAS box, mostly designed for office use, but also useful at home - if you have the budget for it. Comments (Comments)

Polycom IP335 review
Posted on 29-Jun-2010 15:51Tags Reviews, VoIP, by Steve Biddle
I’ve played with a large number of IP phones over the last few years and have always been impressed by Polycom’s range of IP phones. Polycom have dominated the audio and video conferencing market for a number of years due to their high quality products and have established a huge following in the VoIP market in recent years.

Posted on 20-Jan-2010 21:59Tags Reviews, 3G, by Steve Biddle
Whether you realise it or not, New Zealand is one of the luckiest countries in the world when it comes to mobile phone networks. We have two nationwide 3G WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) mobile networks that both deliver coverage to approximately 97% of the population. Comments (Comments)

Two mouse devices you can use on glass: Logitech M950 and Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000
Posted on 22-Oct-2009 15:43Tags Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
Both Microsoft and Logitech always come up with very good quality input hardware. So I tested two of their latest mouse devices to see which one would come out better. Comments (Comments)

Synology DS209+II NAS review
Posted on 15-Oct-2009 16:04Tags Reviews, Consumer Electronics, by M Freitas
So what's not to like on this unit? Hard to say: it's small, quiet, offers a lot of features that help users enjoy their content from home or the Internet, and with up to 4TB of storage available it is an interesting proposition. Comments (Comments)

Posted on 15-Oct-2009 12:09Tags Reviews, DVB and HD, by M Freitas
A beautiful Freeview receiver, lots of features, Blu-Ray recording capabilities - and still missing just the last one thing. Comments (Comments)

Samsung Series 7000 LED TV review
Posted on 7-Sep-2009 12:30Tags Reviews, DVB and HD, by Steve Biddle
Upon unboxing the TV the most striking features is how thin the TV is – at 29.9mm it’s one of the thinnest TV’s on the market. In terms of technical specifications Samsung have left nothing out. The TV features a Full HD 1920 x 1080 panel, Internet access and more. Comments (Comments)

Polycom VVX1500 review
Posted on 9-Jun-2009 16:36Tags Reviews, VoIP, by Steve Biddle
Polycom have been in the phone and video conferencing business for many years - but what has been missing in their product range has been a reasonably priced desktop phone supporting video calling. Until now. Comments (Comments)
