Seen on CNET: the tech videos Australians watched this year
What were the most watched videos on CNET Australia this year? It seems we're all trying to figure out our big screens TVs (and finally make that Windows 7 upgrade).
Western Digital WD TV Live
The excellent Western Digital WD TV Live brings much needed Ethernet support and with it YouTube and Flickr browsing. It's the best streamer around.
Reviews

Philips GoGear Mix (4GB)
The GoGear Mix is exactly what people are looking for in an MP3 player. It's easy to load with music, simple to operate and a pleasure to listen to.
-
Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)
The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.
-
Philips DC350 iPod Dock
The DC350 features a wide-range of connectivity options, but is far too expensive for the low quality sound it produces.
-
Philips GoGear Opus
The slow interface probably kills what would have been an excellent player with decent format support and great sound quality.

Altec Lansing Orbit iM237
We like the new and improved version of Altec Lansing's portable single speaker, the Orbit MP3, better than the previous model, but it costs a bit more.
-
Apple iPod Nano (5th generation)
Not sure which new iPod to choose? The Nano's fifth incarnation wins hands down, with FM tuner and video camera being more than just cheap gimmicks.
-
Virgin VMX
The VMX is a phone with many shortcomings, but most of these are outweighed by the AU$99 price tag. For most people who just need the basics, the VMX will do the trick.
-
Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)
The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
