Reviews

Synology DS209

The Synology DS209 is an excellent little unit, with a more complex than necessary set up routine. Still for those looking for a highly featured, high performing NAS with an easy to use and flashy menu, it's certainly a compelling choice.
HTC Dream

Google's Android is awesome, but the Dream needs work. Parts of this handset are superb, but its lacklustre design and poor battery life hold it back significantly.
Samsung S2 Pebble

Samsung has officially announced the S2 Pebble, a screenless 2GB MP3 player that retails for under AU$50.
BlackBerry Curve 8310

RIM has incrementally upgraded the BlackBerry Curve with the addition of a GPS receiver, although we're still waiting for 3G connectivity.
Sony NW-E003 Walkman

The Sony NW-E003 is a compact, stylish flash MP3 player that those who can tolerate SonicStage should consider, but beware the unintuitive interface.
SanDisk Sansa Express

The SanDisk Sansa Express is a solid choice for those who need an ultra-convenient MP3 player with a decent smattering of features.
Creative Zen Stone

Creative's pebble-like Zen Stone takes on the iPod Shuffle. It has a lower price and better sound but lacks the brand aura and tactility of the Shuffle.
Nokia N95

If you need an all-in-one communications, navigation and imaging device and don't mind charging it every night, Nokia's N95 raises the bar in the mobile world.
