Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.
Kaspersky Internet Security 2010

Kaspersky's 2010 updates for its Internet Security and Anti-Virus programs introduce several useful features, including behavioural-based threat detection, program sandboxing and a gamer mode.
Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium)

Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been — it's where Microsoft needed to go. How much damage Vista did and whether Windows 7 is enough for people to finally abandon Windows XP are questions that nobody has the answers to right now.
Microsoft Windows 7 (Professional)

Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.
HTC Touch Diamond2

If you're prepared to manage the memory and train yourself to use the keyboard, then there are few WiMo phones sexier than the Diamond2.
Microsoft Windows 7 (Ultimate)

Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.

With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.
HP Pavilion DV2 1001AU
