Hi,

Like Chris said, if a product matches the requirements it's no problem 
mentioning it. Their has to be a clear remark it's a commercial product though 
and that the reporter (you fi.) are related to the company selling it. That is 
to avoid creating the image of pushing the products.

Thanx,
Jaap
