Reviews

Withings WifiScale

We can't fault the technical genius of the Withings WifiScale, but at the same time you do pay a lot of money for a lot of gimmicks in a bathroom scale.
Navman MY500XT

Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.
LG BD390

The LG BD390's combination of excellent image quality, super-fast loading times and rich features make it one of our top choices among premium stand-alone Blu-ray players.
Nokia E52

At first sight the Nokia E52 won't set your heart racing, but its excellent battery life and ease of use make it a smartphone worthy of consideration.
Pioneer AVIC-F10BT

Pioneer's top-of-the-range in-dash navigation unit, the F10BT features a 7-inch touchscreen, movie playback including DivX, Bluetooth hands-free, USB connectivity and iPod support, as well as sat nav with text-to-speech, 3D view and traffic messaging.
Pioneer AVIC-F310BT

At just under AU$1,200, the AVIC-310BT is an on-paper bargain. It features a 4.3-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free, GPS navigation with text-to-speech and 3D view, a CD player, USB connectivity and iPod support.
Nokia 3G Booklet

After years of calling its phones "multimedia computers", Nokia finally launches a real one.
Nokia 6700

The Nokia 6700 Classic is not a fancy-pants smartphone, but its high quality, 5-megapixel camera and brilliant screen help make this phone a front-runner in the mid-range market.

Best large-screen GPS navigators

For the last several years, GPS units have come in two sizes: 3.5-inch and 4.3-inch. Fast forward to 2009 and larger sizes are now not only common, but affordable too.
Best budget GPS navigators

With the words crisis and meltdown being a regular feature in newspaper headlines, we investigate some of the cheaper GPS options out there.
Best portable GPS navigators

All brand name GPS units will get you safely from A to B, but some do it better than others. We nominate a clutch of navigators we'd junk our Gregory's or Melway for.
Best GPS-enabled mobile phones

While it could be argued they're not as robust as in-car sat-navs, these GPS-enabled mobile phones can help you find your bearings when you're on the move.
