Reviews

The much-hyped Google Android phone operating system will hit Australia on 29 January 2009, in the form of the Kogan Agora and Agora Pro. At first glance, this looks to be one of the most exciting products of the year.
Bose 3-2-1 Series II

This is a beautifully designed system, with great features for the price.
TomTom One

In-car GPS navigation systems are a boon for anybody that spends a lot of time driving from A to B. TomTom's One is designed to deliver directions en route and allow the driver to concentrate on the road.
Motorola L6

Sanyo's Z4 is an incremental upgrade to the Z3 home theatre projector. It features deeper black levels and dual component inputs, but the overall size and weight has increased as well.
Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS

Canon includes image stabilisation and a 4x optical zoom lens on the compact, 6-megapixel IXUS 800IS.
