Reviews

INQ Mini

Sporting a funky, small design and social networking features this phone is a great choice for both the young and young at heart.
Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

A lot of cameras get called "unique", but the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj aptly lives up to this tag as it hosts a built-in projector. It's definitely a novelty and fun to use, we just wish image quality was better.
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time

Clever time-manipulation puzzles and improved pacing make this the best Ratchet game in years.
Band Hero

Band Hero makes fake plastic rock easy to pick up, family friendly and a whole lot of fun.
Flip MinoHD

Although ultimate image quality and features are sacrificed on the altar of price and pocketability, the MinoHD should be on casual videographers shortlists.
HTC Tattoo

If you want an affordable Android smartphone, the Tattoo will fit the bill. Power users should look elsewhere.
Kogan Blu-ray Player BD 2.0

The renewed Kogan Blu-ray player is a bargain, with many of the niceties of much more expensive players but you can't expect video precision for the price.
DJ Hero

DJ Hero spells a new frontier in rhythm gaming of electrifying fun, but the cover charge is steep.
