The recent announcement of the tie-up between Apple and Intel has certainly caused several ripples that have quickly formed into new products in both the software and hardware categories.  Steve Jobs took the opportunity offered by his keynote address at Macworld, San Francisco to reveal the initial product offerings to benefit from this new co-operation between two of the major forces in the field of computing.

The dimensions are 12x13x9cm and the 13cm depth increases by up to 4.5cm when the 28-300mm lens is fully extended. This gives 10.7 to 1 optical zoom. In the short time I have had it I have taken the opportunity to take as many images as possible and I have only scratched the surface of what this can do. There is a rather good built in flash but do not try taking images very close together when using it as it takes a while to recharge.

I must admit that my experiences with Bluetooth have not always been totally successful. This wireless technology, originally developed back in 1994 by the mobile phone company Ericsson and named after a tenth century Viking king called Harald "Bluetooth" Blatand, has probably been responsible for a number ( I was tempted to say 'fair number' but decided against the pun) of my grey hairs.

3.2 seems to be the words for this unit. 3.2x optical zoom and 3.2mega pixel the latter to be enough to produce a decent A4 print. stated Having recently reviewed a number of quite complex offerings it is nice to look at something that is - in it's setup configuration - point and shoot. The top has two buttons on/off and the shutter.

We weren't particularly looking for all those features, what we wanted were a couple of good quality, non-portable stereos that we could give the girls for Christmas. Non-portable, because we didn't want another one they'd cart around and break. Wandering round John-Lewis we found a stack of these Goodmans micro-systems. I've had a couple of Goodmans products before and never been disappointed and at the special price of £69 I was wondering what the catch was.

This is battery or mains, in battery mode you would need 6x'C' cells. I am lucky enough to have good DAB reception in my area but before you go out and buy why not check yours by inputting your postcode at www.ukdigitalradio.com   I think the quality of DAB radios has improved considerably since the early units. Now I find good reception wherever I use it in the house.

As Broadband and the take-up of networking expands into the small office and home user market, so there is a need for kit that will provide the necessary features with greater ease-of-use and perhaps having a touch of style about it. This is an area in which NETGEAR feels its products have the necessary combination of performance and distinctive appearance to make them stand out from the pack.

I am sure most readers will have heard of Wacom and maybe other graphics tablet makers. These offerings were always rather large and certainly enabled exact work to be conducted.

While Corel Painter is an excellent product, it can be rather daunting for the novice user or those who are just interested in dabbling in the media. As a result Corel has come up with Painter Essentials 3. This home art studio product is based on Corel Painter IX and has been designed to provide an environment that will lead users into the world of digital art.
