    Too good to ignore: 6 alternative browsers

    Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari lead the market, but there are other browsers out there for PC and Mac users. Which are better?
    When Microsoft, Mozilla or Apple comes out with a new version of Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari, it makes news -- mainly because most of us use one or more of these three Web browsers.

    Widescreen, but way too small.
    Viewsonic's DPX704WH 7in digital photo frame is a slightly scaled-down version of the DPX804WH. As with its bigger brother, the DPX704WH isn't anything truly unique and it doesn't have the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity of some competing frames. Nevertheless, it does an adequate job and its widescreen aspect ratio makes the DPX704WH a decent purchase, even if the display is a little small.

    14.7-megapixel compact camera with a 28mm, wide-angle lens
    As the flagship model of Nikon's compact S series of cameras, the CoolPix S710 has some impressive specifications. Some, like the 14.7-megapixel sensor, have an impact, while others, such as the maximum sensitivity of ISO 12,800, are basically useless. On the whole it is a good performer with some niggling speed and image issues that prevent it from being a must-have this Christmas.
