• Sony Ericsson Naite

  Sony Ericsson's Naite isn't a heart-starter but let's face it, the reason you'd buy the Naite is for the secret pleasure of knowing your phone is slightly less of a burden on the environment than those wretched iPhones.

• Acer Extensa 5635Z

  The Extensa is a business laptop with no particular frills. That's not a bad thing per se, but it's tough to get too excited about it, either.

• Norton Internet Security 2010

  Norton Internet Security 2010 builds on the immense progress it made in last year's version, maintaining a low system profile while strengthening its security framework. It's not perfect, but even Symantec's detractors should check it out.

• Google Wave

  Developers make good stress testers, and the initial Wave service has had a lot of testing in the last few months. We take a ride on the wave, which should be opening to a wider beta program at the end of September.

• Tandberg DPS1200 VTL

  While the lack of supported online expansion and de-dupe is a concern, if you need your tape backups to go faster, Tandberg's DPS1200 VTL may deliver what you need.

• Adaptec MaxIQ

  Adaptec has upped the enterprise storage ante by incorporating an SSD as a cache on its 2 and 5 series controllers, calling the technology MaxIQ.

  The world of enterprise IP telephony is varied and complex. Here's our round-up of the major players and what they can bring to your business.

• Samsung Galaxy Icon

  While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.

• Lenovo ThinkPad T400

  Lenovo's ThinkPad T400 is another fine entry into its portfolio, but be prepared to spend extra to get the features you need.

• Asus RS700-E6/RS4

  The RS700-E6/RS4 1RU bare-bones server, features dual-socket Xeon 5500 series support and 12 DDR3 1066/1333 sockets for a maximum 96GB RAM. You'll need to bring your own components to fit these though, depending on your needs.

• Microsoft Windows 7 (Professional)

  Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.

• Compaq Presario CQ61-217

  The Compaq Presario CQ61-217 adds a little bit of extra quality to the sub-AU$1000 market, though sacrifices on its network capability. For AU$799 though, it's a steal, and if you're not concerned by some of the lacking components, this one's a good buy.

• HTC Snap

  The Snap will appeal to a specific segment of business-minded road warriors who need good messaging but don't want to pay for extras like media or social networking.

• Microsoft Exchange 2010 beta 1: Review

  There's a lot to like in the first beta of Exchange 2010, from storage improvements to new high availability tools and better integration with the cloud, not to mention Outlook Web Access support for Firefox and Safari. But not everyone will be impressed by the lack of a 32-bit GUI management client.

• Seagate BlackArmor NAS 440

  Although Seagate BlackArmor is difficult to use for networking novices, it is a good choice for small business and advanced users.
