Nero is synonymous with creating, ripping, copying and burning data to optical media on the Windows platform. The Nero 9 suite was recently reviewed here on DigitalReviews Network.
The latest addition to the family is Nero BackItUp & Burn, which can be probably best described in some ways as Nero "lite". Nero BackItUp & Burn aims to provide full control over data protection, backup and recovery.

Today, the longest day in the northern hemisphere, might be a bit
problematic for light sleepers who are easily disturbed by daylight.
Most people don't give much thought about their sleep patterns but
there are whole industries that devote lots of manpower and money to
analysing our sleep rhythms.
One company on the forefront of helping us get better sleep and to wake up refreshed is aXbo from Austria.
We've reviewed their products in the past and will be one of the first sites to write up their new models.
In the meantime, have a look below at their latest press release about their mini sleep laboratory with a waking function...
A little under six months ago we took a look at the NS2300N and NS4300N SmartStor Network Attached Storage RAID solutions. The new NS4600 is the latest NAS/RAID in Promise Technology's line up and looks to improve on their already solid SmartStor range.
Read on for our review of the new NS4600, along with some thoughts on our time with the two older Promise units - six months on.
We've reviewed quite a few of Norhtec's products over the years and love the Small is Beautiful concept they espouse. The Gecko EduBook is another example to bring compute power to the masses and for less than $200 you can get this very modular netbook, aimed at kids in school. Probably the developing nations will benefit most with these type of socalled EduBooks. The Gecko can be run on 8 AA batteries which will last for 4 hours at the time. It comes with Ubuntu Remix thrown in, featuring many applications, but it can also support Windows XP with the appropriate configuration.
Have a look at the specs below while we try to see if we can get one in for review.
Those clever folk down at Popcorn Hour have announced a new version of our favourite Network Streaming Media Player - The Popcorn Hour C-200.
Among other things, the C-200 adds support for a BYO Blueray drive as well as a new shell and a Gigabit Ethernet port and will likely continue the insane codec support of the earlier models.
Expected in July the C-200 will retail for $299US.
The need for wireless networking is almost a certainty given the amount of internet capable equipment is an average home. Just count the potential devices such as PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, TV, Blu-ray player, fridge, the list can go on and on. The speed of the wireless network needs to be sufficient to handle for example, high definition videos. D-Link has generously provided DigitalReviews with a DAP-1522 Xtreme N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point and a DWA-160 Xtreme N Dual Band USB Adapter for this review.
Brando has been a long time supporter of the DigitalReviews Network with their multitude of gadgets and accessories. The latest to hit the desk here is the Multi-Purpose Charger.
