Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

A Trojan horse in a field full of cardboard cutouts, the new Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini delivers fine sound in an affordable package.
Garmin Nuvi 5000

It might be perfect for truck drivers, but the 5.2-inch Garmin 5000 is a bit too big for us car-bound road denizens. And the lack of Bluetooth hands-free, lane guidance and junction view condemns it to also-ran status.
Garmin Nuvi 1390T

There's nothing particularly flash about it, but the 1390T is a solid and dependable choice, with traffic, lane guidance, Aussie and NZ maps, and Bluetooth hands-free amongst its features.
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.
Order of War

This simple real-time strategy game isn't original, but it's a lot of fun.
Garmin Nuvi 1390

It mightn't offer the bigger bang for buck, but the 1390 is a solid and dependable choice. We particularly like its comprehensive lane guidance and easy-to-use interface.
Brutal Legend

This amazing tribute to metal delivers a hugely entertaining gaming experience despite missing a few chords.
Forza Motorsport 3

The next instalment, coming in October, offers pumped up visuals, error prone AI drivers and a rewind feature to undo nasty little incidents, like dates with the Armco.
