'The Canon Selphy CP780 Compact Photo Printer ($99.99 direct) is the latest incarnation of a basic design that Canon's been selling for years: a highly portable small-format dedicated photo printer, built around a thermal-dye print engine. As you would expect, each new generation has improved on the last--or at least tried to. For example, the new version is a little faster than last year's CP760, and offers a different set of pluses and minuses for its photo quality. Like the CP760, it's a capable printer that's well worth considering.'

Bosch-Rotak-34LI-lawnmower.jpg

Pocket-lint have published a review of the Bosch Rotak 34LI cordless lawnmower. 'The Rotak 34Li looks the business. The chunky plastic styling and streamlined dragster design stands it apart from the army of boxy electric mowers out there. The wheels look robust (although they're not rubber), the grass collector hooks up seamlessly and the handle and power arm both feel solid. At 12.8kg it isn't the heftiest machine on the market, but the lack of bulk makes it surprisingly easy to carry and manoeuvre across the lawn. Thanks to the solidly built 40-litre grass collector though it isn't a compact machine; you'll need a shed or garage to store it, rather than an under stairs cupboard.'

Zoom-H4N-Digital-Recorder.jpg

A review of the Zoom H4N digital recorder has been posted over at TrustedReviews.com 'To adjust settings and get the H4n doing whatever it is you need it to, you're reliant on a 1.9in, backlit monochrome display, a selection of face-mounted buttons and a jog dial on the right hand side, which you can use to navigate the various menus. You'll also find playback volume and record volume rockers on the left and right-hand sides, respectively. This is where things get tricky. The H4N has three main modes of operation, and a fairly bewildering range of options in each. The functions of the different buttons and the availability of particular settings varies from mode to mode, and while the menus are actually quite sensibly structured, it takes a certain amount of time before you work out what is where.'

Wi-Ex-zBoost-zPersonal-Cell-Signal-Booster.jpg

A review of the Wi-Ex zBoost zPersonal Cell Signal Booster has been posted over at PaulStamatiou.com. 'The premise behind cell phone signal boosters, the zPersonal included, is pretty simple. There are two antennas. One goes nearest the area of the room where there is some cell phone signal reception. That signal gets processed and amplified through the powered unit and gets pumped out the other end, which you place close to where you need reception. Both antennas are used for receiving and transmitting, with the one mounted where there is reception being the actual end point talking to cell phone towers. It's important to understand that such a device cannot just make a signal. It has to use at least a weak signal to boost.
