iZito
There are many Web search engines available, although with market leaders like Google getting most of the press it's easy to overlook the alternatives. As Microsoft begins work beta testing its own <a href="http://beta.search.msn.co.uk/">MSN search</a> offering, this is a good time to examine a relative newcomer, <http://www.izito.co.uk>iZito</a>. This product has arrived with little fanfare, yet offers some useful features for the serious searcher.

Barracuda Spam Firewall 400
Security appliances tend to be based on relatively modest hardware, and the Barracuda Spam Firewall 400 is no exception. Rather it’s the software that turns this AMD Athlon-powered system into a security appliance: the Spam Firewall 400 runs a security-hardened Linux OS, a SpamAssassin-based anti-spam filter and a proprietary antivirus scanner. The Barracuda Spam Firewall 400 costs £3,885 for unlimited users.

Mirapoint RazorGate 100
<a href="http://www.mirapoint.com">Mirapoint</a> is a long-established vendor of both secure mail servers and, more recently, the RazorGate family of security appliances. The RazorGate 100 is smallest of that range, but runs the same Unix-derived OS together with Sophos antivirus and a SpamAssassin derived anti-spam filter (due to be replaced by a CommTouch product by the end of 2004). The Mirapoint RazorGate 100 costs £4,500 for up to 100 users.

Tumbleweed MailGate 2.2
Tumbleweed’s MailGate 2.2 differs markedly from other mail server security appliances in that it offers very little scope to manage the spam and virus filtering tools it provides. The upside to that, however, is quick and easy deployment plus very low overheads when it comes to day-to-day management. Tumbleweed MailGate costs from £4,000 for up to 1,000 users.

SurfControl RiskFilter E-mail E10
<a href="http://www.surfcontrol.com/">SurfControl</a> is a well-established provider of software-based Web and email filtering tools, and the RiskFilter E-mail is the company's first stab at an appliance product. It’s a 1U rack-mount solution, based on an industry-standard Pentium 4 server, running a pre-configured, security hardened, Linux. This, in turn, hosts the SurfControl email antivirus, anti-spam and content filtering tools with a browser-based GUI for management. The RiskFilter E-mail E10 costs £8,500 (ex. VAT) for up to 500 users.

Hush ATX Media PVR
As PC technology migrates from business and home offices to all parts of the house, so the issue of noise becomes ever more important. Even if you use your PC principally for work, who wants to put up with the constant rattle and hum of cooling fans? If you want to listen to music or watch TV as well as work, then a loud computer is really a non-starter. A number of companies specialise in low-noise systems: earlier this year we looked at the <a href="http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/desktops/0,39023850,39149924,00.htm">Poweroid 1200</a>, which is based around the fan-free <a href="http://www.quietpc.com/uk/tnn500a.php">Zalman TNN case</a>. Although effective, this system is also very bulky and heavy. A more house-trained alternative is the Hush ATX from <a href="http://www.hushtechnologies.net/">Hush Technologies</a>: we looked at the living-room-orientated Media PVR model, although Hush does a range of regular-size and small form factor systems aimed at various market sectors -- including business and CAD/CAM users.

Sharp LL-151-3D
Sharp announced its first device with a 3D display -- a notebook called the <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/Sharp_Actius_RD3D/4505-3121_7-30573410.html?tag=pdtl-list">Actius RD3D</a> -- in the US towards the end of 2003. The Actius RD3D has not shown up in the UK, and Sharp has no plans to launch it here. However, the company has introduced the same technology into a standalone 15in. LCD monitor which is available to UK buyers. It’s not cheap at £950 (ex. VAT; £1,116.25 inc. VAT), but, like the Actius RD3D, this monitor does offer 3D viewing without the need for those awful 3D glasses.

O2 Data Card 3G/GPRS
O2's cautious 3G rollout has kicked off with coverage earmarked for just '20 major cities and towns' this year, although the company is 'working hard' to provide coverage to 80 percent of the UK population by the end of 2007. This is the background to the launch of the O2 Data Card 3G/GPRS, which is based on the same Merlin U530 hardware as competing offerings from <a href="http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/networking/0,39023970,39163417,00.htm">Orange</a> and <a href="http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/networking/0,39023970,39166813,00.htm">T-Mobile</a> (<a href="http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/networking/0,39023970,39152563,00.htm">Vodafone</a>, by contrast, uses a Qualcomm card).

Check Point Safe@Office 225
Based on Check Point’s market-leading firewall and VPN technology, the security credentials of the Safe@Office small business security appliance are unimpeachable. But that’s not the only reason for buying it. There’s also the relatively low price tag and the ability to add optional extras like antivirus and URL filtering services. Furthermore, it turns out to be remarkably easy both to configure and manage.

Sony Ericsson P910i
The P910i is Sony Ericsson’s third smartphone, and updates the earlier, and very well received, <a href="http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/handhelds/0,39023880,39117838,00.htm">P900</a>. This itself was an advance on the company’s first offering in this area, the <a href="http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/mobilephones/0,39023925,10002616,00.htm">P800</a>. The operating system for all these phones was Symbian’s OS7, overlain with the UIQ interface. Unlike other Symbian operating systems, this one supports a touch-sensitive display, which offers increased opportunities for, and flexibility with, interacting with software. This factor, and the large array of bundled software, helps Sony Ericsson characterise its Pxxx series as both a smartphone and a handheld.

Net Integrator Micro
Given its name, you expect the Net Integrator Micro to be small, and it really is tiny -- but only in terms of physical size. Hosting the vendor’s own Linux-based Nitix operating system it’s big on functionality, bristling with all the features expected of a small business server appliance -- and then some.
