  • BigPond Next G Wireless Broadband Mobile Card

    Fancy a 1.3Mbps broadband pipeline direct to your notebook, without a cable in sight? The new BigPond wireless data card makes good on Telstra's lofty promises for its Next G network.

  • Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G HSDPA Card

    Vodafone's enhanced notebook PC Card delivers what the mobile telco calls 'business class 3G broadband' -- but until more of the 3G network is upgraded with HSDPA, most users will remain stuck in economy seats.

  • A heavy load for the iPhone to bear

    It's sleek and it's sexy, but still must contend with issues from price to typing speed and wireless realities.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch, 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

    Apple's Core 2 Duo 17-inch MacBook Pro is especially thin and light for a desktop replacement, making it an attractive choice for multimedia users on the go.

  • Unwired Wireless Card

    While the speed and pricing plans make it appealing for those who aren't deskbound, Unwired's Wireless Card is cruelled by the lack of true mobility and the Sydney-only coverage, which itself is undeniably patchy.

  • Apple iPod (30GB/60GB, video)

    Get the affordable, sleek, and sexy 5G Apple iPod for its audio virtues. Although video looks great, poor video battery life and a relatively small screen hamper its appeal to video heads

  • Apple iTunes 6

    While the interface has become subtly more intuitive and flexible, especially with version 5's interface tweaks and nested playlist ability, this free app has picked up impressive new features without compromising ease of use.

  • Apple iMac G5 (2.1GHz, 20-inch)

    Believe it or not, Apple still makes computers, even if its latest iMac seems more entertainment centre than home computer.

  • QuickTime 6.0 learns new tricks

    The old multimedia standard offers up a new edition with support for high-quality MPEG- 4 streaming and more.

  • Lenovo Ideapad S10

    Lenovo's "me, too!" entry in the netbook sweepstakes, the IdeaPad S10, gets the price and features right, but falls behind on battery life.

  • Asus Eee PC S101

    Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.

  • HP 2133 Mini-Note

    Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favourite for on-the-go use.

  • Toshiba Portege R500

    Toshiba's much-anticipated Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now, but mobile broadband is conspicuously absent.

  • Nokia N95

    If you need an all-in-one communications, navigation and imaging device and don't mind charging it every night, Nokia's N95 raises the bar in the mobile world.

  • Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station

    The AirPort Extreme performs well in a close-knit 802.11g network, but it's not fast enough in mixed mode to warrant upgrading.
