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

  • Sony Dream Machine (ICF-CL75iP)

    Given its price and average sound, the EOS only makes sense if you absolutely need to stream music from one room to another.

  • Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

    The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini is a cut-down version of the company's premium iPod dock but boasts even more features.

  • Cygnett Maestro Portable Speaker System for iPhone & iPod

    The Maestro does a lot of things right for its AU$189.95 asking price. It produces good sound and is cross-compatible with a range of iPods and iPhones, but it's also light on exciting features.
