The TCL Roku TV is a natural fit for the No. 1 Chinese television manufacturer's expansion into the Western marketplace. It joins the company, unfamiliar to many consumers outside of China, with the well-established Roku streaming platform. We got a chance to channel surf using their app-filled offspring at CES 2014 . Both the 48-inch TCL 48E4610R and the 55-inch TCL 55E4610R run the new smart TV operating system that Roku users should be immediately familiar with. That means apps like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, YouTube, HBO Go and Crackle are all pinned to the customizable home screen. What makes Roku even better is that it has just about every special interest streaming app too. From the more known food channel Chow and the anime channel Crunchyroll to the almost certainly unknown Vietnamese American Real Estate and esoteric sciences channel Occult TV, there's no shortage of content for niche audiences. In fact, there are over 1,000 streaming apps here, giving...

Overview, build and handling Whenever I'm asked to recommend an entry-level SLR the Nikon D3100 and Nikon D3200 are always at the forefront of my mind. They have the great Guide Mode to help novices get to grips with their new hobby, and their image quality is very good.

This allows the new camera to shoot continuously at a maximum rate of 5fps for up to 100 Fine quality JPEGs. In addition, the native sensitivity range runs from ISO 100 to 12,800 and t...

Introduction Everyone was expecting Key Lime Pie to serve as the delicious moniker for the next version of Android. Google surprised us all by bucking tradition and releasing Android 4.4 under the name KitKat. Version 4.0 started life as Ice Cream Sandwich , but the last three decimal additions came under the Jelly Bean banner. This new version was obviously deemed different enough to snag a new nickname, but not different enough to merit a jump to version 5.0. That 0.1 bump hardly does it justice. Don't be fooled: this is an important step up for Android. KitKat is super-smooth, the UI is refined and elegant, there are improvements to the long-neglected calling and messaging side of the platform, a new focus on productivity, and your fortune-telling digital assistant is brought front and centre as Google Now reaches maturity. General surprise in the tech world wasn't just based on the erroneous supposition that Key Lime Pie had to be next; there were also some raised eyebrow...
