Aston Martin DBS hands on

Half a million dollars can buy you many things: a two-bedroom unit in Sydney or 250,000 cheeseburgers. Alternatively, you could buy yourself an Aston Martin DBS (before on-road costs, insurance and other trifles) and live the fast life with martinis, women and international intrigue.

Reviews

HTC Magic

Parts of the phone are as the name suggests, magic, but the absence of outstanding multimedia jeopardises the success of this latest Android.
Cowon S9

The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.
Yamaha YSP-600

The Yamaha YSP-600 is a very good solution for people who want a simple system that sounds great, but look elsewhere for style or features.
Sennheiser MM 50 for iPhone

Compared to the headphones bundled with Apple's iPhone 3G the MM 50s are light years ahead. Exceptional sounding bass and its affordable price tag make the MM 50 a great choice for replacing those dodgy Apple ear buds.
TiVo 160 Media Device

Despite missing some key features, the TiVo HD is a worthwhile investment if you don't want to pay for cable, and it poses no ongoing EPG fees.
Apple iPhone

Despite some flaws, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated phone and MP3 player.
MSI P610 (1GB)

The P610's performance belies its cheap-looking construction, but that wasn't enough for it to trump its higher-capacity competitors.
