Reviews

Internode MiFi

Internode's MiFi 3G modem/router works quite well, but carrier issues and high pricing are a big downside.
PC Tools Internet Security 2010

We're big fans of PC Tools Internet Security's ThreatFire component, and the overall toolset that PC Tools provides is robust, but the suite could be both faster and easier to use.
Corel Home Office

Despite some compatibility setbacks, Corel Home Office suite is useful for creating documents. Its conscientious size, small-screen optimisations, and attractive price make it a good buy for a Netbook office suite, or for saving space by shedding advanced features.

Nero 9

Nero's latest software package attempts to break the perception that they're just about burning.
Optus USB Slimline Modem

The Optus USB modem works as advertised, but fluctuations in service and a few software bugs have hampered our experience during testing.

Microsoft's release should retain its browser base but doesn't yet have enough to lure loyal Firefox users back to Internet Explorer.
