Though Skype 2 suffers from middling voice quality when calling landline phones, it's still one of the best free VoIP services around, and its new Skype Video feature makes it even better.
A simple to use wireless VoIP handset for Skype users that doubles as a music player.
The netbook market is so tight, you need some sort of competitive advantage to stand above the crowd. ViewSonic brings a standard netbook with two negatives instead poor battery life and a bad touchpad.
The U50Vg has some annoying design issues, but it's a great laptop that can be relied on when out and about.
For those who can't afford the US$700,000 Halo telepresence set up, SkyRoom looks to be an incredibly helpful tool however, HP's suggestion of it being "revolutionary" is far from accurate.
The Agora brings the concept of a low-cost netbook firmly back on the agenda, but its woeful wireless performance seriously detracts from its value proposition.
The Asus Eee PC 1000HE is a good 10-inch netbook; while we're hanging out for the higher resolution HP Mini 2140, this is definitely one of the better 10-inch netbooks on the market.
Beautifully designed and reassuringly robust, the 1.5kg VAIO Z11 marries a decent-sized 13.1-inch screen with good portability. It's not flawless, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed.
The M50Vm is a great mid-weight laptop, with a few years of longevity in it as well. And at AU$1,999, it's definitely worth a look.
Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more.
Its excellent, sleek design doesn't cover for its sluggish performance.
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.
The EeePC isn't for everyone in fact within about two seconds from picking it up you'll know if it's for you or not. For those it does appeal to, it's a brilliant little thing that fills a much lamented gap.
For office workers who consider video conferencing their life, the Versa E6200 has the performance and features to support such a lifestyle. However, the lack of external docking options may hinder those who like to transform their notebooks into desktop wannabes in the office.
The ASUS W7S offers powerful performance in a small portable package, and considering that it has discrete graphics, we were surprised it had excellent battery life.
