Shiny Video Review: external DVD drive from Brando, for the Eee PC
I recently wrote about the external DVD drive from Brando, which claims to work on the Eee PC, but at the same time only on Windows Vista, XP and 2000. Strange, I thought. So, I got one in from Hong Kong and put it to the test, which you can see above…
Shiny Video Review: the best noise-cancelling headphones, from Sennheiser, Bose, JVC and Creative
I’ve been traipsing all over central London for you today, testing four pairs of noise-cancelling headphones, the HA-NC250 from JVC, some Bose Quiet Comfort 3 cans, the PXC-350 from Sennheiser, and finally, the Creative Aurvana X-Fi.
How do they fare on public transport in London? Check out the video above, where I test them on the tube, the overground train, a double decker bus, and walking around Piccadilly Circus. And yes, in case you’re wondering, I *did* say “King’s Cross St. Pancreas”. I am a doofus…
Shiny Video Preview: YP-S3 MP3 player from Samsung
The other night, Zara and I got hands-on with a couple of new MP3 players from Samsung. If you liked the YP-S2 pebble player yesterday, check out my video above of the YP-S3, a colourful range due to hit shelves in June, in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB capacities…
Shiny Video Preview: Samsung YP-S2 pebble MP3 players
Last night Zara and I went along to the Samsung 2008 product showcase, where we feasted our eyes on all the products…we’d already covered. Still, it was news to the print media journalists there, and there were even a couple of new toys we hadn’t seen nor heard of yet.
The YP-S2 MP3 players are bizarre little pebble-shaped devices, quite similar to the Creative Zen Stones, and will…
Shiny Video Review: Dell Inspiron 1525 notebook
Susi has a look-see at a notebook from Dell’s Inspiron range, the 1525. Will its claim that it’s 25% smaller, slimmer and lighter than the previous generation woo her? What about the Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor, 4GB RAM, Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, 250GB hard drive, and HDMI output?…
Shiny Video Review: Miidio UFO speakers – which surface works best?
If you cast your mind back to early February, you may remember these UFO-shaped speakers from Miidio.
For £70, the nifty little vibro-speaker units…

Zara’s been showing off the Nokia 7900 Prism mobile phone in the office for a few weeks now, making the rest of us dribble over not just its aesthetics, in part designed by Frédérique Daubal, but also its OLED display, 2-megapixel camera, 3G connectivity and 1GB of internal memory…
Shiny Video Review: Samsung F700 touchscreen phone with QWERTY slider
With a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the F700 from Samsung is like a business-minded Croix mobile, but what are Alex’s thoughts on the handset? Take a look above to discover…
VIDEO: Can you work from in the garden?
It’s the dream. The ultimate fantasy for the home-worker. Working from the garden! But is it possible? Are humans ready to emerge blinking from the office or home and work productively from our gardens?
With summer on the way, I thought I’d continue my investigative home working video series and try to find out IF you can work from in the garden. So, can you? Work? From in the garden?
