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.

Efo Solar Rechargeable Torch
Here’s one of these oxymorons: a solar powered torch – but thanks to a rechargeable battery it doesn’t only work during the day... !
Well, the idea is great, the execution less so.
Yes, it’s an environmentally friendly torch as the sun recharges the internal battery.
Trouble is there’s only 1 small battery in there even though there’s room for more.
So the output is not as bright as can be nor the endurance as long as some of the other torches we’ve reviewed.

Efo TV
This little USB stick packs quite an entertainment punch!

Here you have easy access to literally thousands of radio and TV stations as well as games.
It takes ages to just browse through the phenomenal menu that has been dished up on your screen to taste and sample them...
Fortunately, many categories come with their Top 100 selections to make it a bit easier. Mind you, this one has a heavy Asian bias which is not bad, just different.
As the site says: Chanson de Paris, New York Jazz, Britpop Rock, Milano Cancion de Amor, Tokyo Pop, Bollywood of India, Venetian Classical Music and more ... Music of the whole world will follow you anytime, anywhere you go.

Efo Eco Button
Well, this last gadget is a good one to close off our look at the Efo offerings as this is THE button to shut off your machinery when you leave your desk. That’s right, from listening to the world with the USB Dongle for Internet Radio, we can now SAVE the world with the Eco button! At least, that’s what the company would like you to believe when they say: Save Energy, Save Money, Save World !!!

Sure, switching off your computer when you’re not going to be at your desk for more than a few minutes makes sense but how does the Eco Button differ from using the Standby button on your equipment?

E-GO Cessna 182
This is the fourth of seven remote controlled electric planes that we intend to review in separate detailed reviews on this site.  The others being the Apprentice 15e (completed), Hobby zone Champ (completed), Mini Super Cub (completed), Super Cub LP, Trojan T28, and the new Cessna Classic 500 (“big papa”) which we expect to be delivered during July.  Meanwhile, the Cessna 182 is certainly a lovely looking plane, with great attention to detail and possessing a high build quality.

Popcorn Hour A-200
There's no sense pretending otherwise - Here at DigitalReviews we love the Popcorn Hour range of Network Media Streamers. From the A-100 we reviewed back in 2008 to the class leading C-200 reviewed a little over 6 months ago, Syabas's Network Media Tanks have all packed quite a punch.

Read on as we take a look at the A-110's successor: The Popcorn Hour A-200.

Aegis NetDock 3


Just a few days ago we mentioned the announcement of the Aegis NetDock and already we're having a fantastic looking unit in gorgeous deep red hooked up to our computer!
That's pretty fast for a transpacific and continental shipment. Courtesy of Apricorn and ProLine Communications agency we're having a good look at what is probably the most essential accessory for any netbook and most tablet users: a portable hard drive combined with a DVD burner and a bunch of powered and unpowered USB ports.
Let's check out what's beyond the good looks.

Akai Micro Hi-Fi System


Most of the time the team here at DigitalReviews get to write about the latest and greatest gadgets and equipment. We even have a scoop or two every once in awhile but today we are reviewing a sound system from Akai that has been on the market for over a year and a half.
Why? Funnily enough things don't change all that much in the audio and sound world when it comes to Hi-Fi systems. The Micro Music System we are writing about now has all that you need in a modern system: an iPod dock, MP3 capabilities through USB and card reader as well as all the other standard things like CD player, FM and AM tuner, alarm clock and remote control.
So let's turn up the volume and let's see what this particular model is made of.
