Reviews

  • Sony PSP Go

    We love its slimmer, sexier, more pocket-friendly shape, as well as its pause and restore anywhere feature, but the PSP Go doesn't quite add enough to the mix to justify its price tag.

  • Topfield TRF2400 Masterpiece HD

    The Topfield Masterpiece HD is a very capable PVR that offers a lot of recording flexibility and just as many cutting edge features as the "big boys".

  • Samsung F480

    The F480 looks like an Omnia, works like an iPhone and may be the best phone for accessing Next G services, like Foxtel TV.

  • 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 AirPort Express Base Station (802.11n)

    You should consider the new AirPort Express if you're in the market for a new Wi-Fi router that offers portability, ease of use, and the unique ability to stream iTunes over your network.

  • Archos 405

    Though it lacks the features of the Archos 605, the 405 maintains the company's reputation for making high-quality portable video and music players.

  • Archos 605

    The Archos 605 Wi-Fi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-TZ17GN/N

    The Sony VAIO VGN-TZ17GN/N is more fragile than we'd like, especially at AU$3,599 -- but the feature set is quite impressive for an ultraportable.

  • Portable video player powerhouses

    Long before the video-enabled Apple iPod hit the market, companies such as Archos and Creative established themselves as portable video pioneers with the launch of a variety of devices that played video, in addition to MP3s and digital audio.

  • Apple iPod killers 2005

    We know what you're thinking: Why mention the iPod in the same breath as digital audio players from Archos, and Creative when the iPod doesn't even play the WMA format?
