Yes, having the Video review links down the left side works well.

Now, I do have another comment to make about your website. Now I do understand you need to have adverts for revenue etc, and they don't bother me one bit, and I have often clicked on a few when something interesting appears. But please could you avoid using those horrible popup versions that hover over the text, yesterday I had this popup appear about 3 times. Also it would be nice if advertisers stay away from flash, I hate flash, my CPU has got better things to do. :)

Hi Keith, thanks for your feedback.

We're aware that some of the adverts can be obtrusive and in an ideal world we'd avoid having such things. Unfortunately that's what advertisers want and, as they're ultimately the means for us to earn money, we have to bend to accommodate them.

On a more positive note, we fully plan to redesign the layout of the site in the not too distant future and one of the key considerations will be how we can best accommodate the sorts of adverts advertisers want without compromising the ease of use of the site. So you may actually see fewer adverts on each page. That said, flash is probably here to stay - there's just no alternative.

Great videos, especially the WD TB HD player!

Any chance of a video review of the new INQ1 handset?

@Ed, Like I said, I totally understand your need for advertisers, and keeping them happy is of course important, but what would be a shame is that you end up loosing viewers because of it, and in the end that's not good for your other advertisers. Also the alternative to Flash is like you already do (Animated Gifs), Currently looking at this page I'm viewing now, the IPod Ad is Jpeg, The Hotels.com is GIF, Misco is Gif, the blackberry is GIF, so there certainly an alternative, but for no apparent reason I can see the AMD is flash. btw. You don't appear to be doing these Popups's regular, but I'm pointing it out now, so that hopefully it doesn't become the norm. :)
