Reviews

  • Sony Ericsson HCB-105

    If you never plan to share it and will never use it in a loud vehicle, the HCB-105 is a good sounding, simple to use choice. Everyone else 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.

  • Denon AVR-1910

    The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured mid-range AV receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality.

  • Sony Ericsson Satio

    There are a few trade-offs, but overall we're very impressed. The Satio sports a sharp, responsive touchscreen and is possibly the year's best camera phone.

  • Apple iPod Touch (3rd generation, 32GB)

    Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.

  • Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray Player

    With a mind-blowing feature set and superlative performance, the Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player could very well be the last disc spinner you'll ever need.

  • Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR

    The FinePix F70EXR has a lot to offer underneath its standard exterior, like its 10x optical zoom.

  • Batman: Arkham Asylum

    With an excellent mix of biff, stealth and sleuth, you don't need to be a fan of Batman to enjoy this excellent third-person action game.
