Acer’s HD revolution
Acer launched its summer computer range in Cannes, the home of emerging cinema and what better venue could there be to introduce Acer’s new systems, focussed on powerful visuals and HD resolutions? Perhaps the most interesting members of the new Acer family are the two netbooks – the Aspire One 521 and Aspire One 721.

Samsung round-up: SyncMaster MD230, H03 Pico projector and SNE-60 e-book reader
Samsung recently unleashed a whole host of gadgets and gizmos onto the UK market. Ranging from the world’s smallest Mono Laser Printer (the ML-1665 printer) to the Q-Series notebook range. We went down to the launch and had a look. I’m a sucker for multiple monitor setups. I have 4 widescreens on my desk right now and crave more – like Terry Pratchett’s office (google it) or that guy on…

Advertised as “smaller than a notebook and smarter than a smartphone”, the VAIO P certainly lives up to its…
The battle of the tablets heats up: iPad faces eeePad and WePad … sorry WeTab
Everybody may be talking about the iPad at the moment as being the hippest gadget on the tablet bazaar, but the ‘WePad’ and Asus’s ‘Eee Pad’ have quietly snuck onto the market and may prove to be close challengers in knocking Apple’s iPad off its pedestal. Besides the use of a different vowel in its name, the Eee Pad has some other distinctions, which differentiate from the iPad. Asus have…
Push the button – Packard Bell’s social networking M-series laptops
Every now and then someone advertises a use of social networking that makes you cringe. Usually, it’s politicians trying to “reach the youth”. And usually, you’d expect better from technology firms. Enter Packard Bell, with its new Packard Bell Social Networks key. The Packard Bell Social Networks key is an extra button beside the keyboard on the company’s EasyNote TM notebooks that, when pressed, opens the Packard Bell Social Networks…
Latest Gadgets hands on with the joojoo internet tablet
Latest Gadgets were invited to have a hands on with joojoo, an Internet tablet, which is available in the UK from yesterday. Is it an iPad-killer?

Every iPad thread on the internet has rabid Apple detractors bemoaning a lack of certain…
