Reviews

  • Palm Pre

    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.

  • BlackBerry Storm 9500

    The Storm's clickable display has given us confidence in touchscreens we haven't enjoyed before now. It won't be for everyone, but those who master this system will be rewarded with an excellent smartphone experience.

  • Iomega StorCenter ix2 (1TB)

    The Iomega StorCenter ix2 is a two-drive NAS device that offers Bluetooth support but no remote access via the web.

  • i-mate Ultimate 9502

    The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is one of the best smartphones we have come across -- and if you're happy with Telstra -- the i-mate 9502 makes an excellent alternative to a Blackberry or iPhone.

  • Asus EeePC 701

    The EeePC isn't for everyone — in fact within about two seconds from picking it up you'll know if it's for you or not. For those it does appeal to, it's a brilliant little thing that fills a much lamented gap.

  • O2 Xda Zinc

    With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.

  • Yahoo Messenger with Voice 8

    While Windows Live Messenger offers better file sharing and video chatting, Yahoo Messenger with Voice 8 stands out for its Net telephone service, photo sharing, novelty plug-ins, and embedded search.

  • Telstra BigPond Wireless Broadband

    As long as you're a metropolitan broadband user, Telstra BigPond Wireless Broadband delivers well, but it can't be said to be an inexpensive broadband option.
