Reviews

  • Sygic Mobile Maps for iPhone

    With its latest update, Mobile Maps has become our favourite iPhone nav app, but we still have reservations about using the iPhone as a GPS navigator.

  • Samsung Jet

    The Samsung Jet is an excellent touchscreen device that packs a heap of features that would keep most people entertained for some time.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • Sony Ericsson W995

    The W995 under-performs where it counts. The screen is small and of a low-resolution, the web browser doesn't inspire web browsing, and worst of all, the W995 is just too expensive.

  • Nokia E75

    Nokia's E75 looks the part and mostly performs well too, but its single day battery life is a major let-down when compared to last year's E-Series offerings.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V

    With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR520V

    With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review.

  • Garmin Nuvi 265WT

    With its relatively elegant traffic antenna and simple-to-use interface, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT makes a good case for itself.
