Reviews

  • Universal Imaging Utility 3.5

    Universal Imaging Utility is an excellent utility that could prove invaluable to larger businesses looking to reduce the time required for image creation and deployment. However, the software has limitations, including lack of support for Windows Server installations.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (Beta)

    Adobe's latest incarnation of Acrobat is top of the line, highly featured software. Just make sure you need all the bells and whistles before you pay the AU$999 price tag.

  • Palm Centro

    Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.

  • Maxthon 2.0.8

    Of the less well known open source browsers, Maxthon has been gaining attention as the second most popular Web browser in its home state of China. Based on IE's Trident engine, we found it to be highly customisable; however its lack of support makes it difficult to recommend for business.

  • Sony SNC-DF80P

    This is an intelligent day/night network mini-dome camera that offers a good range of features for its price.

  • Sony VAIO VGC-LM18G

    No doubt the VGC-LM18G will find its way onto some people's walls and benches, and is thoroughly enjoyable to use. But it's got a few more revisions to go before it's perfect.

  • Sony Ericsson K770i

    The Sony Ericsson K770i combines good design, useful features and ease of use to produce a pleasing jack-of-all-trades phone at a reasonable price.

  • Polycom HDX 4002 XL

    The HDX4000 is one of Polycom's premier products in their video-telephony range, while it's a beautiful machine featuring great quality video conferencing, it's priced to scare.

  • Acer TravelMate 6592

    This is an affordable notebook that should suit anyone looking for a capable, mostly desk-bound system. The webcam is a nice extra, while fingerprint recognition is fast becoming a 'must have' feature for business users.

  • Nokia 6500 Slide

    The Nokia 6500 Slide is an attractive 3G phone, but despite features like video-out doesn't really offer anything enticing enough to buy one.

  • Angus Kidman I'm a celebrity, don't back me up
    Celebrity comes with its perks — free alcohol, better-looking partners, lots of holiday time — and disadvantages — constant media intrusions, being forced to appear in films with Eddie Murphy for the long-term good of your career, and having to do mindless radio interviews with angry men who've been awake since 4am.
  • Array Lies, damned lies and telco stupidity
    Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
