Reviews

Olin 8-inch Digital Photo Frame with Printer

The Olin digital photo frame is such a novel concept that we can't help wonder why someone hasn't done this before. Fortunately, it works exactly how we want it to.
Virgin Mobile Broadband WiFi modem

This WiFi modem/router works well and provides great value on some plans, but we're still left wanting better performance out of Virgin Mobile's actual broadband.
Samsung NC10

The NC10 betters previous Samsung netbooks with a built-in HSDPA SIM card reader and the portability this provides. Optus wireless broadband bundles seem like excellent value.
Pure One Classic

The Pure One Classic DAB+/FM radio does what it's designed to with simplicity and style, and is a good entry point to the new world of digital radio.
Optus E1762 USB Modem

The hardware performs its part of the equation just fine, but if you're considering Optus' wireless broadband make sure you take advantage of its seven-day trial period.
Dvico TViX HD R-3300 HD Digital Jukebox + Ultimate PVR

TViX's supposedly HD PVR promises to be the "ultimate" PVR. We can't help thinking that "basic" would have been a better appellation.
D-Link DSM-210 10-inch Wireless Internet Photo Frame

D-Link's wireless enabled photo frame tries to be all things to all people. What it ends up being is pretty awful.
Telstra Turbo 21 modem

Telstra's Turbo 21 delivered the fastest wireless broadband experience we've seen. This excellent performance will be enough to justify its high price for some.
