Reviews

Nikon Coolpix S8000

This is Nikon's best-looking compact yet, which has a lot of tricks up its sleeve, like a 10x optical zoom and HD video — if only image quality was better.
Samsung WB650

Samsung's WB650 looks like the ideal camera for travellers, with 15x optical zoom and GPS tagging.
Cambridge Audio Azur 650T DAB+

The Cambridge Audio Azur 650T DAB+ is a high quality DAB+/FM tuner, but it lacks some of the features of its rival and mercilessly uncovers the flaws in digital broadcasts.
Nikon Coolpix P100

There's a lot to like about the Nikon Coolpix P100, but you'll need to keep your photo quality expectations in check to really enjoy it.
Olympus SP-800UZ

Olympus continues to push its cameras into record-breaking territory with the 30x optical zoom SP-800UZ.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR3

Just bought a Lumix ZR1? Don't despair, the ZR3 isn't replacing it just yet, and only has a few differences.
Internode MiFi

Internode's MiFi 3G modem/router works quite well, but carrier issues and high pricing are a big downside.
INQ Chat 3G

The INQ Chat 3G takes the popular, inexpensive INQ1 and slaps a full QWERTY keyboard on top. It's an addition as delicious as gravy on a pile of mashed potatoes, but the Chat 3G doesn't live up to the BlackBerry devices that it emulates.
