System Mechanic 6 Professional review

System Mechanic 6 Professional review

Review System Mechanic 6 Professional offers the best package of utilities for optimising and protecting your hard drive, but the software's lack of documentation makes it poorly suited for the average computer user.

CiceroPhone for Windows Mobile Pocket PC review

CiceroPhone for Windows Mobile Pocket PC review

Review Cicero Networks' softphone provides access to VoIP services over Wi-Fi and GSM networks from a single dialler. When seamless roaming between Wi-Fi and GSM is implemented, CiceroPhone should prove very useful. However, a Wi-Fi-equipped Windows Mobile smartphone may be a more convenient platform than a handheld.

System Mechanic 5 Professional review
