ABBYY FineReader 8 Professional Edition
A decent compromise between OCR value and features – especially as you can upgrade from the Sprint version.
Acer n35
The n35 is a complete navigation kit comprising a capable PDA with integrated GPS receiver (that folds down flush into the back), CoPilot Live 5 software, a sturdy windscreen mount and a cigarette lighter adaptor. At this price, it’s noticeably the cheapest PDA on test.
Apple iPod 60GB
After all the media speculation, Apple has finally dipped its toe into the world of mobile video with the launch of the new iPod.
Enspire AVR-200
A fantastic Media Center PC at an extraordinary price.
Garmin iQue 3600
Garmin is a brand that’s been synonymous with GPS navigation since the days when only mariners were using it. So it’s somewhat disappointing that the iQue 3600 doesn’t compare well to the competition here.
Garmin iQue M5
We were disappointed with the Que navigation software on Garmin’s iQue 3600, but the Pocket PC version is a step in the right direction.
GPS Kits
If you don’t have a car with built-in satellite navigation, the most cost-effective way to add it is by opting for a handheld device with a GPS receiver.
HP iPAQ hw6515 Mobile Messenger
When we first reviewed the hw6515, we were bowled over by how much HP has managed to cram into such a small device.
IRIS Readiris Pro 10
Excellent support for PDF files, an intuitive user interface and a low price make Readiris the best choice for the majority of people.
Mitac Mio 169
The thing that instantly hits you with the Mio 169 is that it’s designed to be
used primarily in landscape mode.
Navman PiN 570
The Navman looks and feels like a quality PDA.
Optima Centoris KN Series 5185
An excellent mid-range laptop for work, but not fun.
PCMarket SDS-G2 AMD Athlon64 Gaming Desktop Computer System
Back in November we wondered just what you could buy for $1500 and Modtech and PC Express showed us two near identical systems (the latter being A-Listed). This month’s submission from PC Market offered few surprises.
Quake 4
Is the mighty Quake franchise becoming tired and repetitive? Or is this the best one yet?
ScanSoft OmniPage Professional 15
A great choice for offices that need to recognise batches of documents, with its only real weakness being poor automatic zoning on complex documents.
Viewsonic VP730b and VP930b
We’re fans of ViewSonic’s stands.
