Echologic’s 3.5in digital photo frame relies too much on its cute factor. It is let down by poor screen performance and inadequate internal storage, making it an underwhelming product.

The Kaiserbaas Digital Photo Frame isn't going to fit among a traditional photo frame collection and is more likely to find a home at a work desk or beside a PC. The output display is pleasant enough at a sufficient distance, but its extra features like audio playback and video display fall short of justifying the price.

The Speed Unlimited suffers from too many flaws to be considered as a serious remote controlled car contender. While some users may be attracted by the price, enthusiasts will want to look elsewhere.

Not a patch on the Robosapien; our time with the RoboRaptor was more of a trial than a fun filled afternoon.

Apart from the novelty value of owning a robot monkey, the Alive! Chimpanzee doesn’t really serve any purpose and is overly expensive.

While this is a reasonably funky device that offers a variety of witty robot one-liners, media playback and some extensive functionality, some of its features could be better implemented, and it commands a price tag that will scare off many potential buyers.
