Inside Palm OS 5 review
Reviews His highlights included noting that over 2.5 million Palm devices have been shipped, most of them in the last three years. All fine and good, but PalmSource has to compete with its rivals if it’s going to exist in two or three years’ time.

BenQ MP721c review
Reviews BenQ’s warranty is also worthy of special mention: the purchase price buys you three years of on-site cover including deinstallation, a loan unit, and reinstallation of the repaired projector. This means that photos and corporate logos can be...

HP CM8060 review
Reviews Edgeline is nothing short of mind-boggling and light years away from the inkjet technology found in a desktop printer. To start with, the paper is attached to a large rotating drum capable of holding up to three A4 sheets at a time.

ZDNet's quick guide to Intel processors review
Reviews And don't confuse Intel's new strategy with AMD's decision to rename its Athlon XP processors three years ago. Coinciding with the release of its 915 and 925X Express chipsets, Intel will now drop the gigahertz rating from its model names in favour...

Cisco IP Telephony (training) review
Reviews The certification can be held for three years before re-testing is required. But, in reality, several years of experience in both data and voice communications is likely to be sufficient. Delegates are given dates for the second part, which is...

Sony VAIO PCV-RX1 review
Reviews Using an analogue connection and requiring some tuning to optimise the picture , it's the kind of flat-screen monitor you'd have expected two or three years ago, and current LCD technology is better than this monitor would suggest.

Blades and business review

A guide to handheld operating systems review
Reviews All of Palm's latest models run a variant of Palm OS 5 (version 5.4, in most cases), which is now more than three years old. Although the BlackBerry OS supports the 'big three' Office applications -- Word, Excel and PowerPoint -- it limits you to...

Sony VAIO PCG-C1MGP review
Reviews The standard one-year warranty is extendable to three years if required. Sony claims that you can get up to three hours from the standard battery, and with power management turned on that's not unreasonable.

Dell 1200MP review
Reviews Other warranty options abound, ranging from three years (add £57) to a three-year warranty with Dell's CompleteCare insurance coverage -- tack on an extra £149 for that. Like other budget models, the 1200MP is saddled with low SVGA (800 x 600...
