Reviews

  • Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

    Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.

  • Cowon D2+

    The Cowon D2+ is a sturdy little touchscreen MP3 player with flexible sound enhancement settings and useful features, but it hasn't changed much from the 2007 version.

  • Harman Kardon Go + Play

    The Harman Kardon Go + Play is one of the best-sounding portable iPod speaker systems you can buy, but its high price and lack of compatibility with recent iPod models make it a limited recommendation.

  • Archos 5

    If you can afford it and want the best combination of Web access and outstanding video performance, this is one of the only players in the world you need to consider, despite its flaws.

  • Sony PSP-3000

    With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP — and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV device or laptop, it will be good for most portable gaming and multimedia needs.

  • Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TDI (Golf V, 2007)

    A fine way to traverse Australia's vast distances, but we miss the Twincharger's up and at them attitude.

  • TiVo 160 Media Device

    Despite missing some key features, the TiVo HD is a worthwhile investment if you don't want to pay for cable, and it poses no ongoing EPG fees.

  • Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI (Golf V, 2007)

    The GT Sport TSI shape-shifts easily between a relaxed cruiser and inconspicuous hot-hatch, and the 1.4-litre Twincharger engine is an engineering marvel. But the GTI is just five grand more. Decisions, decisions.

  • Sony NWZ-A728 Walkman (8GB)

    Sony's new batch of Walkmans looks lovely and we're happy to see the end of SonicStage, but the features are a little bland compared to competitors' models.

  • MobileMe

    MobileMe is the successor to .Mac, Apple's subscription service for publishing photos and other personal content to the Web.

  • HP TouchSmart IQ505a

    The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well — but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.

  • Archos 705 Wi-Fi

    The Archos 705 WiFi is the biggest, baddest PVP on the market. What you get in screen size, however, you pay for in portability and picture quality.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac (Special Media Edition)

    Office 2008 for Mac may be the best pick for business users, but most people can get by with less expensive alternatives.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac

    Microsoft plans to release Office for Mac 2008 on January 15, making this the first update in about four years. We've tested beta versions of the new applications over the last month without running into glitches.

  • TomTom Go 720

    Don't let its beautiful body tempt you, the TomTom Go 720 is both too pricey and too buggy. The cliche "beauty is only skin deep" is particularly apt here.

  • Audio Pro Porto

    The Audio Pro Porto is a leather-clad, portable iPod dock which offers the flexibility of battery operation and an additional FM tuner.

  • Apple iPhone

    Despite some flaws, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated phone and MP3 player.

  • Samsung YP-K3 (2GB)

    Samsung sets its sights on "slick" with its latest flash MP3 player, an understated beauty that hopes to tame the iPod beast.

  • Yamaha RX-V1700

    The Yamaha RX-V1700 is a mostly solid AV receiver with an attractive feature package and excellent sound, but you might be able to find a better overall value.

  • Onkyo TX-SR674

    The Onkyo TX-SR674's stellar feature set and first-rate sound quality put it in the top tier of midprice HDMI A/V receivers.
