With the expectation that Apple would release the iPhone 5 there was initial surprise and dissapointment with the iPhone 4S. However, there has been a hugh overall of features and gadgets that more than compensate. The Camera is 8MP with a great aperture ratio. The CPU (Dual Core A5) is the same as the iPad2. The Retina Display is truely stunning, with four times the pixel count of previous iPhones. Siri is Apples voice recognition service which could be market changer or a flop, time will tell. I can see improved performance in multitasking and the HD video recorder works extremely well even in poor light conditions. Apple FaceTime is great, instant video calling at a touch.

The Kindle Fire HD is incredibly light and slim, and has great easy grip rubber back. It's 7 inch HD display has a resolution of 1280 x 800. The display is very sharp and crisp and maintans this at any viewing angle. It has a HD camera (front) that supports Skype. You can connect the Kindle Fire HD to your TV using the HDMI port, bluetooth is also included. The WiFi is lightning, quiker than the Nexus and iPad. The new Kindle Fire HD is a massive improvement on the earlier release and is effectively a portal into the Amazon's inifinite media content.

The Roku 2 XS lets you turn your TV into a Smart TV for a fraction of the price. You can stream media content directly to your TV from the internet through the HMDI port in 1080P picture quality. The Roku 2 XS user interface is truly stunning, smooth, intuitive and simple to use. The initial setup was easy and quick. The channel section is good and you can download new channels from the Channel Store, games etc. I liked the ability to strean content from my external hard drive using the USB port.

You need to be realistic when spending this amount of money on a Android Tablet, so don't expect to much for the price. The Ployer Momo9 is about as cheap as you can get, however, the specification is rather good for the price. With a 1.2GHz processor (Cortex A8), 512MB RAM (DDR3) running Android OS 4.0.3 it's quite impressive. Include a 7 inch (800x480 resolution) capacitive screen and 1080P HD this should meet your multimedia needs. There is 8GB of internal storage expandable to 32GB with microSD. The camera is a rediculous 0.3MP so I am not sure why they even bothered to include one as the quality is shocking. I think for day to day internet and multimedia usage at a bargain price this will be just about right for a lot of users.

With an impressive specification; quad core processor (tegra 3), 1GB of RAM and internal storage of 8-16GB this newcomer is out performing other tablets of a higher price range. Running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean it has a 7 inch touchscreen (1200x800 resolution) IPS and a front camera (1.2MP). All the usual USB, GPS, WiFi etc. are present. I can't help be just a little bit dissappointed.

At first glance it looks identical to the iPad 2 but the changes are all internal. Running iOS 5.1 and the new A5X CPU and quad core qraphics the retina display results in truly stunning display quality. It includes a front (VGA) and rear (MP5) camera. The new model is slightly heavier and thicker. It has a 9.7 inch screen and its new Retina Display gives a crisp, vivid, sharp resolution that is by far the best I have ever seen on a tablet and is scratch proof protectected.

A Multimedia master class, it's slim design and latest android OS provides high end performance. It's 4.3" display has a 540 x 960 resolution. I really liked the 8MP Camera with HTC's ImageSense, allowing for multiple shot modes, panoramic, macro and HDR. The One S has 16GB of internal memory but to my horror no microSD slot, this was a dissapointment. Performace is impressive, it has a 1.5MHz dual core processor which means a very slick user interface.

My first impression about the Experia Ray was that the size was just about right. I absolutely love the display screen, the colour depth is amazing, much better than the iPhone in my opinion. The style of the phone may not appeal to everyone, there are no seductive curves, it's literally a block. The camera is impressive with 8.1MP and 720P video providing stunning results.

I am stunned at the quality of this phone compared to it higher priced big brothers. It has a dual core processor (800 MHz) making it lightning fast. The user interface (UI) layout is simple to use, very responsive and intuitive. I also found app downloads speeds considerably faster than from iTunes on my iPhone 4S. The Ace 2 has a larger screen than its predecessor (3.8) and is slimmer and lighter, if somewhat bulkier.
