Reviews

Apple iTunes 9

iTunes 9 is a natural, yet relatively minor, evolution of Apple's popular media management software and is a required download for new iPod owners.
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.
Eco Reader

Finally, an ebook reader comes to the Australian market — with claims of open file format support and long battery life to boot.
Samsung Omnia Icon

Its excellent multimedia support, storage and gorgeous display make the Omnia better for people who put pleasure before business.
Netgear EVA9150

While the Netgear EVA9150 is far from perfect, it offers an easy way to access the widest array of digital audio, photo and video files for the do-it-yourself crowd.
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".
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Nokia may have been late to the touchscreen party but we like what it's finally delivered; a responsive, full-featured phone with some deal-making extras.
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.
