In fact I did recently sell my Clio... I let my LY R27 go after having it just over a year. Sold it back to the dealer I bought it from for £1,800 pounds less than I paid for it, which seemed like a pretty good deal after driving it for a year and putting 5,000 miles on it. It was a superb...

The Touch HD is a big improvement on the previous HTC touch phones. I really like it, but still haven't had time to test it properly, since I've got to get the G1 reviewed first. Should be publishing the G1 review on Wednesday, but may not be able to get to the Touch HD until next week as I...

By coincidence, I'm sitting in my kitchen writing a review of the G1 right now. Quick summary - Android shows masses of potential, and even as it stands is probably the closest mobile OS competitor to the iPhone. However, the hardware itself is mediocre at best. Although I can't get HTC to...

Pretty much anything will run FM2008, so you've got no worries there. Although FM2008 is a sore point in my house at the moment, since my wife is getting more and more stressed trying to get the game ready for launch next month!

Depends on how much you want to spend. The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 is the best laptop on the market right now, in my opinion at least. But it doesn't come cheap... http://www.trustedreviews.com/notebooks/review/2008/04/22/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X300/p1 I was so impressed after reviewing it, that I'm...

Just headinghome from a T-Mobile press event. Had a play with the N96, which was ok, but not sure I'd want to swap my iPhone for one. Also tried out the Samsung Pixon, which was better than the Omnia, but not much. The point is that I'm on a train writing this post on my iPhone and I'd have...

I'm reviewing the 4th gen now (in orange) and it's the best nano since the original. I never really liked the fat and stubby 3rd gen, I found it uncomfortable to hold while navigating. I'm not convinced of the shake/shuffle feature on the new one, but I do like the cross fade.

It's officially launching in October. The beta version went out to the Press a few weeks ago, but I haven't even had a chance to install it yet. I won't be writing the review, so I haven't rushed to take a look at it. The GPGPU stuff is going to be the most revolutionary aspect of the package...

There are any number of things that will affect your placing in search engines, but once you've cracked it, you have to do something really stupid to drop off the results pages. I'm in Tokyo right now for the launch of the new Panasonic CF-F8 notebook. I published the story earlier this...

Well I'm the Editor of the site, so yes :) I used to be an owner, but sold the company last year.

That's the key to Freesat - so many people move into houses that already have dishes installed, I did. I've just moved my Sky HD box from one end of my house to the other, but I've kept the cables live in the first room, and will be throwing a Freesat TV in there :)

OK - I've lost count of the times I've made this post on various car forums, but here goes again. There is no such thing as an interlaced image on an LCD or plasma screen. These TVs are, quite simply, progressive by nature. Because this type of screen has fixed pixels, there is no form of...

On the other hand, the Ethernet port will allow for iPlayer support come October, and could also be used for media streaming depending on the manufacturer. I've just got back from IFA and Humax was showing off its PVR Freesat box, which looks pretty interesting. If anyone is going to throw...

The Road Angel Professional Connected is, without a doubt the best unit on the market right now. I reviewed it a few months back and scored it 10/10, despite it being pretty expensive. It's just sooooo good knowing that you don't have to remember to update the thing - you're just always running...

The Panasonic 42PZ80 is a cracking little TV for the money... http://www.trustedreviews.com/tvs/review/2008/07/29/Panasonic-Viera-TH-42PZ80-42in-Plasma-TV/p1 I reviewed the 46in version myself a couple of months back - the PZ80 series offers great performance at a very reasonable price. Of...

Ah yes - Cliff mentioned that to me when he was doing it. Lucky for him I gave him a full time job in the end then :)

Quite correct. And you are? You seem to have me at a disadvantage :)

A bit of a trikcy one this... First up - Mike 182 is right, the Dell D620 did rate very highly, but it's worth remembering that I wrote that review over two years ago. Things have moved on a lot since then, and the D620 itself was replaced by the D630 over a year ago. That said, if you're...

Strangely enough, yes! I could point you to reviews on other sites, but why would you want to read something substandard ;)

Yep, the new E series Latitudes look very nice. I sent one of my guys along to the launch last week and he was pretty impressed... http://www.trustedreviews.com/notebooks/news/2008/08/13/Dell-Launches-E-Series-Latitude-Notebook-Range/p1 The Montevina platform should ensure improved performance...

I wouldn't go for the Eee PC 701 if I were you. The screen isn't 1,024 wide, which means you'll be scrolling sideways on most web pages, which is far from ideal. The Eee 901 is the one to have if you want an Eee, but the Advent that's been mentioned is also a very good option. The Advent is...

Nah 37in is not too big for games - I've just been playing Soul Calibur 4 on my 50in Kuro and it looked superb :) Actually you're right about GT5 Prologue, I clearly didn't look at the box properly. However, I'm pretty sure that the game itself is being rendered at 720 and then being output...

Yes the PS3 will output 1080p 24Hz when playing Blu-ray movies, and will do it pretty well at that. Nope, GT5 Prologue is most definitely 720p, I just checked the box. As I said though, the last time I spoke to someone at SCEE they said that the full version of GT5 should be 1080p. I have seen...

Actually GT5 Prologue is 720p, although Polyphony is promising that the full version will be 1080p. No, the PS3 will not upscale 720p games - the reason that most games are 720p is to keep the frame rate acceptable, so upscaling would defeat the purpose. The TV can upscale your output to 1,920...

Yep - Panasonic make great TVs at very reasonable prices. I flew out to Japan last year to visit Panasonic's plasma factory and talk to some of the engineers. The investment they're making into their TV R&D is staggering, which is probably why Pioneer has commissioned Panasonic to make its TV...

I'm assuming you've got an old AMD Athlon X2 rather than a Phenom? There's a chance that your system could be CPU limited, but it's gonna depend on what you're playing. If you're firing up Crysis, then yes, no doubt, your CPU will have a detrimental effect, but anything using say, the Source...

It's true that Full HD has less of an effect on a smaller screen, but displaying an image in a 1:1 mapped fashion will always be sharper than when it's scaled. However, if your PS3 is your main source, you have to remember that the majority of PS3 games actually output at 720p rather than...

How does Renault react to warranty claims if you get the car serviced at an independant though? It's still got two years of the warranty left, so I don't really want to have them tell me it's not covered if something goes wrong. One of the reasons I've owned so many fast Fords, is that it...

I've had the 197 F1 for about a week now, and I've got to say that it's a great little car. It's a completely different drive to the modded Focus ST that I got rid of - it needs needs to be driven far harder, since it hasn't got that swell of torque that the ST had, and it obviously doesn't...

I wasn't interested in an R26 though. I had a Focus RS from new for three years which I loved, then traded it in for an Orange ST, which I modded up to around 300bhp. I then decided that it wasn't sensible to have two cars that did around 18mpg, cost a fortune to insure and a tonne in road...
