Fusion Garage has confirmed that the promised JooJoo software update has been released OTA to existing owners. Tipped to address UI problems and bring full-screen Flash video playback to the iPad-alternative, the new firmware has also been loaded onto demo JooJoo units Fusion Garage have been toting for their European roll-out; unfortunately, judging by some hands-on impressions with the updated unit, it's still not perfect.

JooJoo update goes OTA; tablet improved but still buggy
Eye-Fi Pro X2 Review
Eye-Fi have managed to do – if not the impossible – then then unlikely: make camera storage fun. The new Eye-Fi Pro X2 is an 8GB SDHC memory card that promises to wirelessly transfer your photos and video to your home or work computer without demanding you mess with cables and card readers. It’ll also upload shots automatically to Facebook, Flickr and other online galleries, together with geotagging them, and it’ll do it faster too thanks to WiFi 802.11n and a new chipset. Still, is it worth $149.99? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Ainol V8000HDW PMP gets reviewed: slick 1080p from HDMI output
PMPs should have HDMI ports. It's a pretty straightforward - and common-sense - idea, but most big-name portable media player manufacturers would far prefer to fit a proprietary socket and then sell you a pricey adapter cable afterwards. Ainol may not be a brand name you're familiar with, but judging by MP4nation's review their new V8000HDW certainly should be on your shortlist if you're keen on HD playback.

Motorola MOTONAV TN765t PND gets reviewed: beauty not brains
At first glance, the Motorola MOTONAV TN765t PND should be perfect. Huge, 5.1-inch touchscreen, voice recognition, Bluetooth, text-to-speech and lane guidance, along with a lifetime traffic subscription and the ability to access Bing searches and other online content via your cellphone. Unfortunately, as GPS Tracklog's review reveals, it seems Motorola may have spent too much time on the slick UI and not enough getting the basics right.

Nokia N8 gets second preview: far more positive
After the Nokia N8's first - pretty appalling - preview we've been hoping for a second opinion on whether the eye-catching megapixel-toting smartphone really does spectacularly miss the mark. Happily Tweakers have filled that niche; the Netherlands site have put together a multi-page preview of the N8, and their conclusion is a more positive one than we've heard before.

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T review roundup
So AMD's new hexacore CPU range is official, it's cheap (comparatively speaking), but is it any good? For that we turn to the bevy of launch-day reviews, and if you're the sort of person who sneaks a look at the last page of a book because they simply have to know the outcome, here it is: for the money, the Phenom II X6 1090T processor is threatening to give Intel's similarly priced chips something of a spanking. More after the cut.

EKEN M001 $100 Android MID gets reviewed
Distributor concerns and underwhelming specs meant we were slightly less than convinced by the Haleron iLet Mini HAL Android tablet, but Shanzai reckon that - in its new EKEN M001 form - the 7-inch slate actually has plenty to recommend it. A sub-$100 street price in China is no small part of that, of course, but apparently despite the 600MHz ARM9 processor and resistive display, it's actually "very responsive" and in fact the best implementation of Android on this sort of device that they've seen.

Nokia N8 previewed: underwhelming hardware, Symbian^3 “cosmetic” update
It's fair to say that we had high hopes for the Nokia N8. There was little to criticise on the spec sheet - 12-megapixel camera, HDMI output, huge touchscreen with multitouch support - but, going by Mobile-Review's N8 preview, out in the real world the smartphone still falls short.

Apple iPad: a skeptic’s review
I didn’t intend to get an iPad. For a start, I’m in the UK, and – even before the recent news that Apple would be delaying the tablet’s international release – there’s no sign of them at my local Apple Store. Beyond that, though, while I could appreciate the design and the glowing feedback Vincent proffered from the iPad’s launch, it just didn’t seem like the device for me. And yet, when on Saturday April 3rd my US colleagues asked “would you like us to send you one?” I said yes. Since it arrived, around two weeks ago, I’ve gone through marvelling at the industrial design, puzzling over how to fit it into my daily routine, and finally – perhaps grudgingly – recognising its strengths (and, of course, its weaknesses).
The Droid Incredible is, well, Incredible
At the beginning of the year, Google called a group of reporters and analysts to Google HQ to announce a new phone, the Nexus One. A joint effort of HTC and Google, the N1 was a slim device, running a speedy Snapdragon processor and an AMOLED display. Running the latest version of Android, 2.1, it was state of the art, at least for January.
Droid Incredible Review (vs. Nexus One vs. Moto Droid)
Incredible, they call it, and for once the marketing hyperbole may be right. The Verizon Droid Incredible by HTC takes a somewhat familiar spec sheet and squeezes out something different enough to stand out from the crowd. For our full review of the Droid Incredible, check out our dedicated Android Community coverage; if you’re more interested in how this shiny new smartphone fits into the current Android line-up – and, more importantly, whether you should choose it or a rival device – then read on.
Pentax Optio H90 gets reviewed: surprisingly good budget camera
Of Pentax's most recent range of point-and-shoots, the Optio H90 particularly caught our eye with its vaguely 70s stylings. Over at PhotographyBLOG they've been putting the budget shooter through its paces, and it turns out to be surprisingly capable. Not only are its 12-megapixel stills decent, it has a broader focal range than similarly-priced rivals and can also record HD video.
