Reviews
Independent write-ups after weeks of end-user experiences and testing.
You may often find indispensible advice here and a no-nonsense attitude to evaluating the products.
We don’t go for the bits-and-bytes approach but aim to address the core factor: value-for-money for the average end-user.

Last week I got my hands on a copy of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands for the PS3. This week I bring you a review of what it was like to visit a virtual palace and battle a legion of sand demons.

| mCube Mini |
The Innergie mCube Mini is billed as "World's smallest auto/air adapter" for notebook, netbook and portable devices. When the review unit came in, it certainly is the smallest charger this reviewer has seen. I can't categorically agree with Innergie's claim but I dare say they are pretty close to the mark!

| Powermat Mat |
As a gadget reviewer and having a high level of gadgets in my daily repertoire, the amount of chargers I have to remember, tag and keep track of is staggering. As a result I have been keeping an eye on wireless charging systems for a little while. When Powermat announced their launch in April, Simms International was more than happy to send me a loaner to test drive.
The Powermat wireless charging system is billed as the solution to every household's problem with lost chargers and tangled wires. Let's see just how well it does the job.

| Vosonic GV6300 |
Occasionally something just a bit out of the left field will hit the DigitalReviews testbench. Vosonic was not on my radar but when they approached us to give some love to the Vosonic GV6300, we naturally accepted the offer on behalf of our readers. The Vosonic GV6300 is a vehicle safeguard device that provides continuous video recording when powered on, this is about the extent of my knowledge when the device first arrived. So let's go in and see what it can do and how well it does it.

| RavonU222 |
Our latest test platform is an ASUS laptop with an Intel core i7 CPU and, for the purposes of this review, an internal Altec Lansing SRS premium sound system. That's a pretty decent set of speakers for a medium to large laptop. And I've been pretty pleased with the results until...the folks at Audion sent me the latest USB speakers from Ravon!
I’ve often been frustrated by the lack of speaker output on note- or netbooks. In particular my previous ASUS VJ1 business notebook suffered from lack of oompf in that department. You could not enjoy audio without some headphones!
So as my current computer provides a good improvement for listening. I might not have looked for even more improvement but, like I said, the importer for Ravon insisted we review these slim USB speakers.
So how did we fare?

| Vengence2 and TMG Road Eagle (GRL) |
All I can say is where are the police when you really need ‘em?? Not really, but on this occasion it would have been nice to have them around so we could provide some adequate testing for the two units.
We even lent the two detectors to some “hoony” friends to test, with the test base being country and metropolitan areas.
We found one of the test units to be pretty exciting, and so this is how it went!
