Reviews

Cowon iAudio A3 (60GB)

With its unrivalled screen and codec support, its direct recording capabilities and its ability to playback DVD video files without transcoding, Cowon's A3 is a well-priced behemoth for portable video lovers.
Archos 605

The Archos 605 Wi-Fi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.
Sony Handycam HDR-SR7

If you've got the prerequisite high-def hardware in your lounge room and are in the market for a camcorder, this is the one to get.
Sony Handycam HDR-SR8

Sony breaks through the 100GB barrier with this range-topping high-def camcorder. Like its SR7 twin, it is highly recommended.
Apple TV

A lack of playable formats and limited functionality really stunts the appeal of the otherwise elegant Apple TV. Read our Australian review.
Toshiba gigabeat V30

The V30 puts the focus squarely on watching and listening to your files, with a noticeably short features list and a beefed-up battery life.
Sony Handycam HDR-SR1

A very attractive high-end consumer camcorder, this is easy to use out-of-the-box, offering great features even if video quality could be better.
Archos 604 (30GB)

The do-it-all Archos 604 with its improved design is slightly marred by mediocre audio performance. It's an amazing PVP, but not a great audio player.
