Reviews

  • Panasonic SC-PT865W

    It's got a few weak points, but movie buffs with large DVD libraries will find this a great way to add surround sound to their home theatre set-ups — particularly if wireless rear speakers are a necessity.

  • Sony Ericsson W300i

    Extending the reach of the Walkman range into the lower-end phone market, the clamshell W300i looks to be a winner.

  • Topfield TFP20

    As a portable media player, the Topfield TFP20 is one of the most fully featured and best-performing units currently out in Australia.

  • Samsung YH-820
