Seen on CNET: the tech videos Australians watched this year
What were the most watched videos on CNET Australia this year? It seems we're all trying to figure out our big screens TVs (and finally make that Windows 7 upgrade).
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1
The WX1 is an excellent compact camera with a great feature set and speedy performance, but mixed photo quality makes it miss the mark.
Reviews

Asus HP-100U Dolby Headphone Set
Gamers with a penchant for very loud explosions will like the HP-100U, but those who want distinct audio levels will want to listen elsewhere.
-
Asus UL50Vt
It doesn't quite live up to its own battery hype, otherwise Asus' thin and light laptop is pretty good.
-
Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier
Solid gameplay, challenging platform puzzles and a touch of whacky humour make Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier a good addition to Sony's much-loved series.
-
Asus O!Play HDP-R1 Media Player
The O!Play might have a silly name, but this is one seriously good media streaming solution, as long as you don't need Windows streaming.
-
Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G
The Sony 70-200mm lens is an excellent telephoto zoom choice for Alpha cameras, providing you've got deep pockets and strong, strong arms.
-
Sony PlayTV (PS3)
The Sony PlayTV is an add-on for the PlayStation 3 that allows you to use your console as a fully-fledged, dual-tuner video recorder.
-
DJ Hero
DJ Hero spells a new frontier in rhythm gaming of electrifying fun, but the cover charge is steep.
-
Asus K50AB
The K50AB is a typical mid-range laptop that looks good, but the in-built GPU-switching feature doesn't save on battery at all. We'd suggest looking elsewhere for your mid-range needs.
