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.

Reviews

  • Canon IXUS 990 IS

    When you pay a premium for a compact camera, you should expect the very best, and that's almost what the IXUS 990 IS delivers.

  • Nikon Coolpix L100

    The L100 is a curious contender for the superzoom crown. It only has a 15x optical zoom and is hampered by a lack of manual controls, but it is light and portable. Just don't expect stellar image quality.

  • Canon EOS 5D Mark II

    The long-awaited successor to the 5D has arrived in the guise of the 5D Mark II. With its competent HD video functionality and excellent image quality, this camera doesn't disappoint.

  • Sudio Vogue

    The Sudio Vogue might live up to its namesake by being eye-catching, but otherwise this is a seriously average speakerphone.

  • The Godfather II

    Even if it were finished, this movie-inspired action game wouldn't be deserving of its prestigious licence.

  • Olympus Mju Tough 8000

    While the Tough 8000 may be the most rugged camera on the market, it doesn't mean it's the best in terms of image quality and performance.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1

    With more 20x superzooms on the market than you can poke a really long stick at, Sony's HX1 may just sneak ahead because of its speedy new sensor.

  • Canon PowerShot A480

    If you're looking for a cheap, easy-to-use camera under AU$200 you could do far worse than the PowerShot A480. Design issues aside, it's a capable compact with decent image quality.

  • Sony Ericsson launch C905: 8-megapixel camera phone

    Other manufacturers are very close, but Sony Ericsson is the first to show off its 8-megapixel camera phone: the C905. Armed with a range of tech, this latest Cyber-shot is more than a phone with a camera stuck to its back.

  • Truck sales tank, GM to go lean and green

    In recent months, CEO Rick Wagoner has signalled that change was in the offing and that the company's future depended upon more fuel-efficient vehicles. With the company's stock price approaching a 26-year low, there's more than the usual urgency to shake things up.
