Reminder – the TP-Link Powerline Competition closes tonight – get your entries in!

Up for grabs are two TP-Link Powerline kits both of which I reviewed recently – the AV500 WiFi Powerline Extender Starter Kit and the AV600 Gigabit Powerline Adaptor Starter Kit. The winner can choose which kit he or she wants, with the runner-up getting the other. The prizes are the review units, so they’re not brand new, but as they’ve only been used for testing, they’re in extremely good condition.

Kingston DataTraveler MicroDuo Competition (UK Only)



Kingston LogoLast month I reviewed the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo, a small memory stick for both PCs and tablets/smartphones that support OTG USB. It has a normal USB connection on one side and a micro-USB one on the other and is great for both transferring files with a minimum of hassle and storing music and films without filling up the device’s memory.
