Pssst...wanna job?
The Reviews section of ZDNet UK is expanding. We've got a great new site, and we aim to fill it with even more great reviews content than you get already. Check out the story that's front and centre on the Reviews home page right now, and get in touch if you reckon you've got the skills we're after.

Coming up in Reviews
Now that something resembling normal service can be resumed, what's in the pipeline for the Reviews channel on the shiny new ZDNet?
Look out for a group test on Draft-N wireless networking gear. Many businesses may be wondering whether manufacturers' claims of blistering speed and extended range for 'draft' 802.11n Wi-Fi kit are borne out in reality. We've done the tests: check back for the verdict.
Further down the line, we'll be looking at VoIP routers, enterprise Linux distributions -- and of course there'll be extensive coverage of the shipping versions of Windows Vista and Office 2007 as Microsoft's flagship desktop products stagger over the finishing line.

Firefox fan
Firefox 2 is generating plenty of coverage across the Net, including our own review and shoot-out versus IE 7. Now the new ZDNet's bloggers are getting in on the act: check out David's detailed post on the subject.

Core 2 Duo notebooks on the way
As the dust settles on the ZDNet editorial floor, and the takeaway wrappers, pizza boxes, Coke tins and other detritus are swept up following a weekend of controlled but frenzied pre-launch activity, thoughts return to the day job. In my case, that's feeding the Reviews channel with exciting content.
Alienware informs us that its shiny new Area-51 m5550 Core 2 Duo notebook is even now winging its way -- DHL permitting -- from Ireland to take its place on the reviews testbench. Not the most pin-striped of systems, admittedly, but we're keen to poke and prod the latest mobile technology. Alienware, for its part, is also at pains to assure us that its systems really are bought by business folks. Whatever: it's big, hopefully fast and brand-new.
If you prefer your mobile technology a bit more down to earth, we'll cover plenty of the more soberly attired Core 2 Duo portables too.

We launched!
You are now looking at the all-new ZDNet UK, and although the paint may be a bit wet in places, we think it's a massive improvement on what went before. We'll touch up any bits we missed in the days and weeks to come.
In the reviews section we now have a great new design, much-improved interaction opportunities for members and a bunch of new ways of delivering product-related content. Look for eye-catching special reports, image galleries, videos and more, to complement the regular diet of reviews, previews, tech guides and buyer's guides.
So sign up and use the community section to track people, products and companies. Keep a blog of your technology-related experiences -- and if we like it a lot, we'll highlight your content elsewhere on the site.
ZDNet just became a lot more fun -- both for us to work on and, we are confident, for you use.
