Reviews

  • Apple iPod Nano (5th generation)

    Not sure which new iPod to choose? The Nano's fifth incarnation wins hands down, with FM tuner and video camera being more than just cheap gimmicks.

  • Cowon S9

    The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.

  • Samsung F480

    The F480 looks like an Omnia, works like an iPhone and may be the best phone for accessing Next G services, like Foxtel TV.

  • Cowon O2 (32GB)

    The O2 is a solid player, offering impressive video and sound quality and support for a massive list of filetypes.

  • Archos 5

    If you can afford it and want the best combination of Web access and outstanding video performance, this is one of the only players in the world you need to consider, despite its flaws.

  • Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

    If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.

  • iRiver Lplayer (8GB)

    The iRiver Lplayer is a very likeable player with a decent feature set and an ideal choice for anyone seeking a small and simple MP3 player for music. The best reason to choose it is its small size and intuitive navigation system.

  • Apple AirPort Express Base Station (802.11n)

    You should consider the new AirPort Express if you're in the market for a new Wi-Fi router that offers portability, ease of use, and the unique ability to stream iTunes over your network.
