Mixed picture

In today's paper, read a review of Epson's PictureMate 500, an upgrade of the original one-trick pony - albeit a very good trick, 6x4 prints made easy. The €280 newcomer adds a nice colour LCD for previewing images but, curiously, the picture quality is less than stellar.

It's bettered by Dell's €160 Photo Printer 540, reviewed recently, though the cost per print is lower in the Epson.

There's also a look at Motorola's €90 HS850 Bluetooth headset, which is remarkable for the speed with which it pairs to a phone and its long battery life.

In games, Killer7 (PS2) is guaranteed to polarise opinions into "what a pile of shite" and "oh wow, this, like, better than drugs, maaan". Suffice to say, it's an acquired taste but fans of David Lynch or Salvador Dali will appreciate it. The verdict on Fantantic Four (PS2/Xbox) is likely to be more unanimous: "meh".
