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 Aria (8GB)
The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.
-
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.
-
LG Xenon
Matching a touchscreen with a full-QWERTY keyboard at this price point is fantastic. Anyone looking to make their cyber-life mobile should check out the Xenon.
-
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.
-
Samsung Omnia
In terms of features the Omnia stands out as one of the best smartphones to date. It's a shame this doesn't translate into a phone we'd enjoy using from day to day.
-
Nikon D90
In the two-party race that will never end, D90 selected D-Movie as its running mate. Upon close examination though, D-Movie was found to be severely underdone. Good thing then that D90's photo-taking base is so strong and competent.
-
Nokia N96
It's a little slimmer and it has loads of storage, but Nokia's latest flagship model has little to justify its top-shelf price tag.
