Navman MY500XT

Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.

It's taken a while, but it's finally here: Google Maps now includes real-time Australian traffic info.

Navman MY55T

Just like the 4.7-inch MY50T, but with added goodness in the form of Bluetooth hands-free, more memory, an FM transmitter, 3D landmarks and a higher capacity battery.
Garmin Nuvi 265WT

With its relatively elegant traffic antenna and simple-to-use interface, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT makes a good case for itself.
Garmin Nuvi 265T

As its name suggests, the 265T adds all the necessary traffic messaging doo-dads to the 3.5-inch Garmin Nuvi 265.
TomTom XL Traffic (2nd generation)

Compact, correctable, good looking and easy to use, the TomTom XL is a great portable GPS. For AU$100 more there's this Traffic version with, uhh, traffic messaging built-in.
TomTom Go 930 Traffic

TomTom's top shelf Go 930 features an FM transmitter, traffic messaging, user correctable maps, text-to-speech, Bluetooth and a 4.3-inch screen, but its killer feature is that it comes pre-loaded with maps from 45 countries.
TomTom Go 730 Traffic

Bluetooth hands-free, FM transmitter, lane guidance, traffic and supposedly more intelligent routing mark the Go 730 Traffic out over its less expensive siblings. And unlike last year's Go 720, it's reasonably price from launch.
FeedDemon 2

FeedDemon is a terrific RSS reader that can handle hundreds of subscriptions faster and better than the many free Web-based readers available.
Google Home

Google Home is a breezy service that lets you create a custom sign-in page chock-full of news and widgets.
