The best products of 2009

Kodak Easyshare Z950
The Easyshare Z950 has more features and a better build quality than most of its competitors in the same price range. It might be bulkier than some cameras, but it's still relatively small and has an excellent 10x zoom lens and a 12-megapixel resolution. The large 3in screen is great for composing and reviewing your shots.
Price: £199

Ricoh CX2
This excellent camera is great for point-and-shoot snaps, without requiring much know-how from the user. Those who want to get more involved, however, can use the camera's tools such as 'dynamic range' that balances areas of light and dark, which would otherwise not show up properly. It has a 10x zoom lens.
Price: £299

Pioneer BDC-202
This internal disc drive can read and write all kinds of CD and DVD, but it can also read the newest Blu-ray discs, so it's ideal if you want to expand your computer to play high-definition movies. It's available in both black and white so you can tailor it to the colour of your desktop computer's case.
Price: £70

Logic3 Valve80
It's not cheap, but the Valve80 is pretty much the best-sounding iPod dock we've heard, and, particularly for those with big rooms, it's well worth the money.

HTC Magic
A slimmed-down version of the G1 Android phone, with a lot to like, such as the configurable design of the phone – the home screen is actually three screens wide and you can plonk favourite icons wherever you like, or leave it completely blank for that minimalist look.
Price: varies with contract
