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.

  • Fake iPod Nano (4th generation)

    If it wasn't for the glitchy software and sub-standard battery life, the fake iPod Nano might have been almost as good as the real thing.

  • Nokia X6

    Nokia has announced its next Comes with Music handset, and it looks to be the goods. Gone is the resistive touchscreens of its earlier models, plus it has a whopping 32GB of storage to keep your music on.

  • Nokia 5230

    Nokia looks set to flood the market with its growing touchscreen line-up across all the major segments, with the 5230 filling the budget model gap.

  • 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.

  • Sony Ericsson W995

    The W995 under-performs where it counts. The screen is small and of a low-resolution, the web browser doesn't inspire web browsing, and worst of all, the W995 is just too expensive.

  • The Beatles: Rock Band

    After a string of disappointing Guitar Hero franchises, Harmonix looks to reinvent the "band-based" rhythm game genre with The Beatles: Rock Band.

  • Sony Walkman X-series (16GB) NWZ-X1050

    Great sound, brilliant OLED touchscreen, noise cancellation and as much YouTube as your Wi-Fi can handle. Shame about the extortionate price.
