Sony Tablet P
Your View
| The Good | Portable and compact. A good companion for the mobile organisation freak and social media tragic. |
| The Bad | Anything viewed full screen has a black bar across the middle. Paltry internal memory. |
| The Verdict | It's no iPad competitor but somewhere out in tablet land there is someone with a particular set of requirements and a pathological hatred of iTunes who will think the P is the bee's knees. |
Pixma Pro-1 delivers the goods
Your View
| The Good | Superb print quality on a range of papers. Excellent black and white prints. Colour gamut respects dark tonal values. |
| The Bad | You need to be vigilant with colour management or wastage will make running this printer uneconomical. |
| The Verdict | Top notch printer among the best, possibly the best, in the A3+ class. |
GoFlex Satellite
Your View
| The Good | Small size, light weight, big capacity, wireless connection, plays just about anything — a pretty solid companion for any iPad |
| The Bad | WiFi connection precludes other connections, so your iPad can't check email or surf the web while connected |
| The Verdict | The main criticism I hear from "serious" iPad users is its limited storage. The Seagate GoFlex Satellite answers that criticism in spades. |
Trivial pursues digital
Your View
| The Good | Easy to set up and begin play. Able to play against AI when you don't have any one to play against. |
| The Bad | Questions don't live up to the difficulty level indicated by the game's name. |
| The Verdict | Simple fun and always an engaging game, Trivial Pursuit is an evergreen that translates very well to iPad and is good value. |
GarageBand for iPhone
Your View
| The Good | Excellent adaptation for iPhone. Easy to create simple music tracks but room for complex works in hands of a competent user with musical training. |
| The Bad | Sharing songs and samples is a pain. |
| The Verdict | A lot of fun to use, this app could be improved to play better with other apps, but even so it's the best app of its kind on the market. |
Finally, cut to shreds
Your View
| The Good | 64-bit operation. Magnetic timeline. Background rendering. Easy colour grading. Easier for amateur users to embrace. |
| The Bad | Buggy. Crash-prone. Less capable than the previous version with many features missing. A radical change to the software that is counter-productive for experienced and professional Final Cut Pro users. |
| The Verdict | Disappointing. Very disappointing. Beta software that you have to pay for. |
Parrot MKi9200: not pining for the fjords
Your View
| The Good | Latest firmware update makes it a very solid performer; as good a handsfree kit as you'll find. |
| The Bad | Requires professional installation — and make sure they update the firmware. Seriously. |
| The Verdict | Before the firmware update I could not in good conscience have recommended this product even to my worst enemy. Since the update it's a new device and I'm a convert. |
MacBook Pro (early 2011)
Your View
| The Good | Fast performance; Thunderbolt has plenty of promise; Upgrades to processor, graphics and I/O |
| The Bad | Heavy; Higher resolution or anti-glare screens cost extra. |
| The Verdict | If you need a notebook with serious grunt, the MacBook Pro is an excellent buy |
Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition
Your View
| The Good | Very lengthy, highly addictive, quite funny, plenty of add-on content included, multiplayer compatible. |
| The Bad | Some weird jumping bugs, some repetitive missions. |
| The Verdict | Borderlands is glib, funny, violent, compelling, addictive and insanely good value. |
GarageBand 6
Your View
| The Good | New guitar presets are always welcome. New timing correction tools will add polish to compositions. |
| The Bad | Waveform editing of real instrument tracks is hard on the eyes. |
| The Verdict | No great strides forward but some solid new features bring a measure of value to a package that is otherwise a bit too lacking in new features. |
