Joining the vast lake of mobile phones out there, some figures place the numbers of mobile in the UK to be higher than the current population, is the E61 Mofi (mobile Hi-Fi) model from BenQ-Siemens.  This small, eye-catching handset's black and metallic orange livery immediately made me think of the Walkman phone, reviewed earlier on this site, and, surprise surpise, there is music playing capabilities built into this unit.

Up until recently I was totally unaware of a company called Maxfield and I feel that you are probably in the same situation. Maxfield is a German company that was founded in 2003 to manufacture feature-packed personal audio products. Its success can be judged by a 323% increase in sales for 2005 over the previous year and taking top spot in the December sales for Amazon.de over the last two years.

The technology behind digital cameras continues at such a pace that it is easy to become confused by the range of specifications that are on offer. There are so many different aspects that need to be considered when making your choice. Some say that the higher the camera's megapixel rating the better and this can affect the quality of the image. However other factors have their part to play.

Sony is well known for its style and entertainment expertise while Ericsson is seeped in the technology of telecommunications.  Put the new companies together and one result is the Sony Ericsson W810i Walkman phone.   Decked out in cool Midnight Black, this Quad band (GSM, GPRS, EDGE 850/900/1800/1900) handset combines a Walkman music player and 2.0 megapixel camera with a full range of mobile phone capabilities.

As part of its "snap shot" range of offerings, Sony Ericsson has released its K510i model.  This is a Triple Band GPRS handset.  The product is available in either Midnight Black or Polished Purple. Stylish without being pretentious, the K510i combines the useful aspects of being compact in size and light in weigh.  The unit measures 101.5 x 44 x 17.5mm and weighs in at 82g.

Although absentmindedness (a subject of which I have first-hand experience) is often the cause of a notebook going missing, it is not the only reason whereby a worried user could be separated from valuable data, important applications and an expensive piece of kit.  There is always the "pick up and go" situation, where less scrupulous individuals walk off with your property, to take into consideration.

I would hazard a guess that checking out your friendly local computer store would reveal a wider choice of All-in-Ones or Multi-Function Devices (MFD) rather than standalone printers especially with regards to the      variety.  While there may be an occasional exception, most printer manufacturers seem to feel that the MFD route is the way to go.  This, no doubt, explains why I am currently testing the Lexmark X8350 product.

The trend towards digital images, whether of the movie or still variety, has seen the development of a number of application that allow this form of content to be put to practical use.  One product that offers to help with the handling of your digital images is PhotoShow Deluxe 4 from Nero.

Meet the PilotMouse Laser Wireless Mini mouse from Kensington.  This is the smaller brother of the equally long-windedly named PilotMouse Laser Wireless Pro mouse featured elsewhere on this site.  As often happens with family member, there are some similarities but also a number of differenced between these two models.

The world of DTP (Desktop Publishing) can clearly be divided into two distinct sections - professional and budget.  If you are a member of the publishing fraternity then you are probably familiar with the powerful features of products such as Quark Xpress and Adobe InDesign.  However not everybody can afford the high price being asked for these titles.  Fortunately there is an alternative with products such as PagePlus from Serif.

Occasionally a wave of nostalgia creeps into my thoughts as I remember the time when mice (the computer version and not those midnight visitors to my secret supply of sweets) had balls and were permanently attached to the system box via their tail.
