Reviews

  • 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.

  • Apple iPod Nano (4th generation)

    Apple has set the Nano back on track with the thinnest, lightest design yet, and has features that are hard to ignore.

  • 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.

  • Creative Zen Stone

    Creative's pebble-like Zen Stone takes on the iPod Shuffle. It has a lower price and better sound but lacks the brand aura and tactility of the Shuffle.

  • ASUS W5Fe

    Well built and mostly comfortable to use. Whether you'll find SideShow, is a matter of individual taste. If so, it's the perfect Vista laptop; if not, there are cheaper and better alternatives.

  • KEF FiveTwo Series Model 7

    KEF's FiveTwo Series Model 7 system produces audiophile-grade surround sound from two speakers -- that's a rare compliment for a virtual-surround system.

  • i-Vision 922 video glasses

    These quirky virtual display specs are fun and attention-grabbing, but the price exceeds the novelty value.

  • Bose Lifestyle 48 Series III

    The latest Bose Lifestyle 48 home theatre kit is more living room friendly in its third incarnation, with a smaller Accoustimass module and a centre speaker designed to complement flat panel televisions.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Dell Inspiron 630m (14.1-inch, 2GHz)

    Dell's mid-range Inspiron 630m provides excellent value for money with a hearty system under its hood, a 14.1-inch widescreen display and the option of Windows Media Center.

  • LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW FireWire and USB 2.0 with LightScribe (16X/8X/2.4X)

    The LaCie d2 USB/FireWire drive is an average product offering only adequate features and performance, though the LightScribe feature could be useful.

  • Pioneer DVR-630H

    Pioneer's flagship DVD recorder can store up to 24 hours of video on 8.5GB dual layer discs and 455 hours of television on its internal hard disk.

  • 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.

  • Creative Digital Wireless Headphones

    Creative's cutting the cord between your music player and your ears with its ultra portable new wireless headphones.

  • Bose 3.2.1 GS DVD Home Entertainment System

    Bose's new home theatre system promises serious performance from a compact package.

  • 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.

  • Apple iPod Camera Connector

    The Camera Connector adds a useful feature to the iPod Photo, and it works well.

  • Sony DAV-LF1 DVD Home Theatre System

    Sony's super-sexy DAV-LF1 most touted feature is its wireless rear speakers. But do they perform as well as their wired siblings? Read our Australian review.
