Reviews

Grundig DAB+ Micro System

For audiophiles on a budget, Grundig has released its first DAB+ Micro System, which the company is claiming is also one of the first speakers in Australia to combine digital radio in a Micro system.
Band Hero (DS)

The DS version of Band Hero tries to deliver the experience you get from the full console versions of Band Hero, but struggles to deliver a genuinely fun portable gaming experience.
Sony Walkman B Series (NWZ-B143F)

It has none of the elegance of the iPod Shuffle, but it's cheaper and has a built-in screen, FM radio and recording capabilities. Minor concerns aside, the NWZ-B142F is a good performer with an attractive price tag.
Apple Mac Mini (Late 2009)

If you demand a small, relatively affordable Mac, the Mac Mini is your only option. Otherwise, you can find Windows-based small form factor desktops that offer more interesting features with better value.
Maestro! Jump in Music

Maestro combines rhythm and platforming to make a charming little adventure that is enjoyable and rewarding, providing you like classical music.

Creative's latest player may have some drawbacks, but it still is a strong contender that provides great value for money.
Creative Sound Blaster Arena Surround

As an all-in-one sound system, the Arena Surround is a solid performer capable of engaging the user in a surround audio experience.
