  • Canon Pixma iP100 Inkjet Printer

    It isn't cheap compared to standard printers, but the Canon Pixma iP100 has the highest resolution available in the mobile printer market and prints at an impressive speed to boot. If you simply must have a printer with you at all times, the iP100 should be the do-it-all at your side.

  • Dell 2709W

    Dell's latest 27-inch monitor introduces an updated menu system, several new inputs and wide colour gamut. While it won't impress professionals, it's likely to please the average user who wants a big screen.

  • Mitsubishi XD520U

    At AU$2199, the XD520U DLP projector sits at the top end of Mitsubishi Electric's new "Leo" range of DLP business projectors. The XD520U performs a little bit better than its specifications might suggest, but you do pay a noise penalty in return.

  • ASUS M70SA

    With a mass of storage and a large breadth of features, the M70SA from ASUS is a solid performer and a decent media centre/desktop replacement to boot.

  • Nokia 8800 Arte

    If you're a person who'd gladly pay the extra for a Ferrari over a Ford, then the 8800 Arte may be exactly the phone you've been waiting for.

  • Dell 2408WFP

    While the 2408wfp is more evolution than revolution, when all this goes for under AU$1,000 it's hard to pass up, especially if you're looking for something in the size range.

  • Sony VPL-FE40

    The VPL-FE40 is an ideal projector for showcasing presentations, video and images in medium- to large-sized meeting rooms and auditoriums. The only downside is the cost, both to purchase and run, which will limit the VPL-FE40 to large organisations with big budgets.

  • Sim2 Domino D10

    Sim2’s first foray into the entry level projector space isn’t exactly cheap, or for that matter pretty. But the Domino D10 looks great where it really counts.

  • Sony VPL-CX155

    The well-built and stylish Sony VPL-CX155 is easy to use and features impressive networking capabilities. However, for a business projector with such a high price tag, poor image quality and a lack of Wi-Fi may leave users wanting more.

  • Panasonic PT-FW100NT

    The Panasonic PT-FW100NT is a wireless business class network projector that allows for flexibility in machine interaction, operations to be done remotely and the projection of multiple screens simultaneously.

  • 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.
