High performance with a matching price tag.

Devices that attach storage to the network aren't new, but until now they've been either very expensive or limited in ability. But this little marvel from Asus changes all that. The WL-HDD can put a hard disk on the network with no drivers or client software required, and it can do this wirelessly via 802.11g.

It looks like a standard webcam, but the Axis 205 is cleverer than that. Its internal web server and 10/100 Ethernet port mean it can be directly connected to and accessed by anyone on the network.

In the past, Palm's approach to PDA design has been clear: keep things simple and produce slick devices with adequate specifications for note taking, appointment tracking and contact organisation.

Excellent quality, but the high price and sheer size make it impractical for all but a few niche applications.

A beautifully tiny computer-on-a-board that you should only consider if you have a specific use in mind

Rarely has a new camera received as much attention as the EOS 300D, released amid a flurry of excitement among photographers and a massive marketing campaign. Why the fuss? Because it's a true 6.3-megapixel digital SLR for under $2,000 including lens. It sounds expensive in the context of the cameras in this month's digital cameras Labs, but the previous generation of several models in that test were nudging a grand when they were released.

A great combination of new features and the usual Nikon image and build quality make this a superb camera.

A good camera but not the most inspiring. There’s better value elsewhere.
