Reviews

  • Kogan Blu-ray Player BD 2.0

    The renewed Kogan Blu-ray player is a bargain, with many of the niceties of much more expensive players but you can't expect video precision for the price.

  • Philips GoGear Opus

    The slow interface probably kills what would have been an excellent player with decent format support and great sound quality.

  • 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.

  • Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

    If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.

  • SanDisk Sansa Fuze

    Hey there, Nano killer! The Sansa Fuze has its sights set on Apple's skinny player, but comes up a little short. Still, with its extra features and ease of use, it's one to put on the shortlist.

  • Samsung A411

    The A411 looks decidedly retro-styled, but as an entry-level Next G phone it performs surprisingly well.

  • Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

    The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic phone works well as a music player — a larger memory card would be useful — but achieves relatively average results as a phone.

  • LG U400

    For those who long for a music-focused phone with a slider form factor, the 3G U400 could be your device. Just be wary of the temperamental scroll wheel.

  • Sony Ericsson K610i

    Sony Ericsson's K610i is an attractive mid-range 3G phone that is small and light, but you'll be let down if you're expecting great results from its 2-megapixel camera.

  • Apple iPod (updated fifth generation, 80GB)

    The new "enhanced" iPod looks like a tremendous improvement over the last one, with a brighter screen and better battery life.

  • LG Chocolate KG800

    Despite its Chocolate moniker, the LG KG800 is a glossy piano-black slider phone with glowing touch-sensitive red controls below the screen.

  • Dell XPS M2010

    A striking feat of engineering that's sure to garner attention in a stylish home or on a multimedia-intensive sales call, the Dell XPS M2010 is simply too expensive and impractical to be anything more than a curio for the rest of us.

  • Apple MacBook (2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

    With the MacBook, Apple has corrected a handful of the iBook's shortcomings, hit a reasonable price point, and delivered a laptop that makes a great compromise between size and portability.

  • Xbox 360

    The first 'next generation' console to hit Australia, the Xbox 360 promises plenty of extras aside from gaming. Should you rush out and buy one? Read our extensive Australian review to find out.

  • Archos Gmini 402

    If you want video and audio in your jeans pocket, get the Archos Gmini 402.

  • Sony NW-HD5

    Sony's 20GB NW-HD5 and the iPod are both dead simple to use, but the HD5 is smaller, and its removable battery lasts much longer.

  • Apple iTunes 4.9

    Apple iTunes remains the easiest way to rip, organise and play digital music but still lacks an Australian music store. New in version 4.9 are built-in podcast features.

  • Apple Power Mac G5 dual 2.7GHz

    Apple's latest high-end Power Mac G5 is a blazing machine that stands up without blinking to the best of the competition, but we're still annoyed by some of its shortcomings.

  • Iomega Super DVD Writer

    Iomega's Super DVD Writer is a fast external burner that offers hassle-free USB setup and a decent software bundle.

  • Samsung D500

    Samsung's latest slider phone, the D500, looks a lot like its sliding predecessor, but comes in a black case with a megapixel camera and an MP3 player.
