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.

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.

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.

I must first state I am not a musician, however I have numerous friends and colleagues who are, in fact I could name drop several composers and conductors whose names are often mentioned.   Sibelius has been around for many years, I believe it started as an Atari product. I know one high profile user who only swapped to a PC because developments on the Atari were running behind the PC and in his position he needed to be at the cutting edge.

It is 22x22x10cm in the closed position, it weights less than two kilos. However not only will you need around 10cm of space in front when in use as paper is stored and delivered at the front of the unit. You also need to allow close to 10cm behind as the sheet is fed out the rear of the unit so it is not bent at all during printing.

I tend to see lots more digital cameras than camcorders, however this may have an advantage in that it is easier to see the developments as I only see two or three units a year.   It is light at less than 400grams, the dimensions are 11x6.5x6cm, the width increases by 7cm with the TFT open. The 5x4cm screen is twistable through 270degrees meaning that you can still view when shooting at strange angles.

Last April I saw what I was told was Gold code for a product that would be released in May 'come hell or high water'. Well it seems that it did not ship until the end of November and then only through Avanquest. I have no doubt that large corporate customers could download it sooner. Some people use the free version called 'Open Office' but that for logical reasons it will always be at least one version behind.

The Pure DMX-50 is 16.5x31x23cm. It is a single unit but looks like it is a three piece stack as the face is divided into three sections horizontally. The top piece has a 6.5x4cm monochrome 5.5 line display. While it is mono you can alter substantially the brightness and contrast of it, useful as it displays a clock when the unit is in standby. The display has three soft buttons either side to perform various tasks according to what it is doing.

This is described as a pocket camera, it is 9x5.5x2cm, the width expands to 5cm with the lens open. It weights just over 150grams. It has a huge 5x3.8cm TFT display but also does have a viewfinder, however this is close to the edge and I think you would soon prefer to use the display except in really bright light.

The is 45.5x32x17cm and this includes the power and USB leads inserted. Perhaps it's the lack of height that makes it appear small, certainly it would fit on most shelves  without any problem. You only ever need access to the front. The paper sits in a drop down tray - face down - and is delivered face up on a shelf just above.

Acoustic Solutions are known for better quality Hi-Fi and amplifiers, here the all important chip is provided by 3GA. In fact 3GA and an annual event held in Cambridge for new innovations is the whole reason I knew about it. Two weeks ago a cold day in November saw me on a train to Cambridge at some horribly early hour.

No one - I hope - is suggesting that you need more than a pack of cards or so to play poker. However whenever the word 'money' is mentioned things tend to get a little serious. So if you and your mates enjoy a game then why not have all the accoutrements of the professionals and the Tournament Set distributed by Flair has all that.   It all comes in an metal case there are 300 real (11.

The Pure Oasis DAB radio is truly portable, meaning you do not need mains, it's internal battery is capable of running it for more than twelve hours between charges. However I think you may think twice - unless you are into body building - about carrying it around while you go for a five mile walk. The dimensions are 15x14x22cm and it weights 2.6kilos. Easy enough to move - even for a child - but not something to hold for an hour or so.
