  • Aussie iPhone developers strike gold

    The release of the iPhone 3G in July 2008 led to the creation of an entire industry where developers worked on their own applications to sell through Apple's App Store. This trend has since been picked up by larger companies. Read about why such a phenomenon is fast becoming a success.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • HP Pavilion DV2 1001AU

    For a 12-inch laptop we'd expect more performance and features than we're getting, but there are obviously compromises to be made in making ultrathin affordable.
