Reviews

Sony PSP-3000

With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP — and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV device or laptop, it will be good for most portable gaming and multimedia needs.
Apple iTunes 8

Apple iTunes 8 is the industry standard for multimedia jukebox software and despite the need for a UI overhaul and some liposuction to remove the bloat, iTunes is a solid choice that most users will enjoy.
Logitech Squeezebox Duet

With its excellent remote, multi-format compatibility and smooth performance, the Logitech Squeezebox Duet is an easy recommendation.
Apple TV

A lack of playable formats and limited functionality really stunts the appeal of the otherwise elegant Apple TV. Read our Australian review.
Zensonic Z500

Zensonic's Z500 is one of the most advanced DVD players we've seen. It has built-in 802.11g wireless, Ethernet and USB connectivity to play almost any type of format you could throw at it.
Nokia N91

The N91 sees Nokia take two steps forward with functionality and one step back in its design efforts, making the phone suitable for feature-mongers but not so attractive to budding fashionistas.
Logitech Wireless Music System for PC

The Logitech Wireless Music System can wirelessly stream any audio file format from your PC to your home stereo system, but you'll have to fly blind because it doesn't have a visual user interface.
Apple Mac Mini Core Duo

Apple packs more media-specific features into the Mac Mini to make an inexpensive and useful entertainment-room computer. It's tremendously easy to use, although it surprised us with poor image processing.
