4 GB storage on your PSP for around £150

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

With your PSP, you have a 1GB memory stick, but is that really enough given the vast capabilities of the PSP. A movie at descent quality resolution will easily fill 500MB on your Memory stick. We love this extra storage solution. The only thing that could be susceptible to getting damaged is the flexi [...]

Nintendo Nintendogs

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

This game isn’t your standard game where you run around blowing hands, arms and legs off baddies hoping you don’t get shot in the line of fire. With Nintendogs, you’re training your dog via your touch screen on your Nintendo DS.
This game is great for kids under the age of 10 that don’t have [...]

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

So you’ve just got your new Sky 160 box, yes the 160 stands for the 160 GB Hard Disk Drive, that’s right this Sharp box has 90GB extra.
Here at Techlounge we found the copy to DVD feature is really useful, it takes under 1 minute to copy 1 hour’s worth of TV onto DVD-r. [...]

D-link DSM-320 Wireless Media Player

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

For £130 we expected it to be good and given it’s not one of the cheaper brands we thought it would have maybe had some of D-Link’s money spent on it.
First of all we sat it about 15m away from a branded wireless router and a thin stud wall. What we expected was verified [...]

Fujitsu Siemens Celeron D336 2.8GHz

Monday, October 17th, 2005

This PC is no power house but it’s absolutely fine for general office use and the home user that doesn’t want to do high powered gaming. It has a Celeron D336 2.8Ghz processor, with 256mb memory, 40GB HDD, DVD drive and installed with XP Home.
The only thing that worried us here at Techlounge is [...]

Seagate 400GB External Hard Drive

Monday, October 17th, 2005

400GB of portable storage is ideal for photos or music or even backing up your data. Firstly we would like to praise Seagate on the great back up software they have bundled in with this drive. It’s so easy to use and install. All you need to do is point it to the drive [...]

Labtec Ultra Flat Wireless keyboard and mouse

Monday, October 17th, 2005

Who are Labtec we hear you cry, well again they are another cheaper brand, under £20 for a wireless keyboard and mouse. It is cutting edge technology but this £20 will be one of the best you’ll ever spend, they both look and have that executive feel to them and certainly look like they [...]

Logitech OEM Speaker S200

Monday, October 17th, 2005

Cheap speakers you wouldn’t touch them right, especially when they’re under £15. We bought these speakers to prove that just because something’s cheap it doesn’t mean that performance or quality is affected.
First of all these are Logitech speakers so there’s the stamp of quality. As soon as the box arrived with these speakers [...]

Video iPod

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

Ok the wait is finally over The Video Ipod is here. But is it going to be worth the £299 for the 60GB version (150 hours video storage) or even £219 for the 30GB ( 75 hours video storage) Ipod. It has the high build quality and finish that we have come to expect [...]

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

Are you sick of your iPod getting scratched while its on your desk, then IGuy is your answer. iGuy splits in the middle so your iPod still sits in the dock whether it is to be charged or to sync with your pc.
His arms are bendable too which is cool as you can rest [...]
