Reviews

  • Apple iMac 27-inch (Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz)

    Behind its expansive display, Apple has packed one of the fastest all-in-ones available, and added a few useful extras to sweeten the deal.

  • Kogan 1080P37

    Kogan's 37-inch Full HD panel is inexpensive and should appeal to budget sensibilities, but it's not great for those who demand visual fidelity.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • JVC Everio GZ-HD40

    JVC's CMOS-based Everio GZ-HD40 finally offers AVCHD recording, but a few shortcomings keep us from giving it a full recommendation.

  • Dualsim Slider

    The genius of the dual-SIM technology is overshadowed by missing basic features, poor navigation and terrible battery life. The idea is right, but this phone needs to be refined.

  • Denon AVR-789

    The Denon AVR-789 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.

  • Denon AVR-1909

    The Denon AVR-1909 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.

  • Ricoh R10

    Though the R10 has some smart, retro styling and a feature list as long as your arm, it falls down in the noise and performance stakes. Still, the camera's versatility gives you a headstart over its failings.

  • What's behind Seven's Foxtel hunt?
