Reviews

  • Philips GoGear Vibe

    The Philips GoGear Vibe isn't the best budget MP3 player we've seen, but its enviable colour screen, photo viewer and video playback make it one of the most well-rounded in the price range.

  • Ultrasone Zino

    Ultrasone's Zino headphones strike the perfect middle ground of performance, style and convenience for earbud-eschewing connoisseurs of portable audio.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • BMW 320i Executive Touring (2009)

    It may be slow and the options pricey, but with the new iDrive system the updated 3-Series will sate your tech and luxury urges.

  • Cowon S9

    The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.

  • 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.

  • Koss PortaPro headphones

    Koss hits a home run with the PortaPros. Love or hate the design, there's no denying the sound quality here: they're the ideal companion for mobile audiophiles and home cinema enthusiasts.

  • Archos 605

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