Reviews

Samsung HD Icon

If you have a desktop hard drive full of media files that you wish you could take with you on the train to work, there is no better phone than the HD Icon.
Sony KDL22S5700S

The Sony KDL22S5700S 22-inch LCD has a lot going for it, and we think it's one of the best "bedroom-specific" TVs we've seen.
Toyota Prius (2009)

The hybrid du jour is back and although prices have gone up, fuel economy is now officially pegged at 3.9L/100km.
Motorola VE538

The VE538 makes a great phone for someone who doesn't expect the extras. Motorola keeps the price of the VE538 low, but leaves out important accessories to do so.
Creative Zen Mozaic

The unfeasibly cute Mozaic is a budget player with decent sound quality and a surprisingly powerful speaker, but its toy-like looks won't be to everyone's tastes.
JBL On Stage 200iD

iPod owners who are looking for a basic speaker they can use around the house should consider the JBL On Stage 200iD, a good-sounding option with a futuristic look and a remote control.
Samsung S3 (4GB)

A competent player with decent audio quality and some cool customisation options, but the screen is too small and navigation can be slow-going.
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.
