The wait is over! Australians can now finally get their hands on the much-hyped Kindle, Amazon's eBook reader. Until now it was only available in the US but it is now shipping internationally. The Amazon Kindle eBook reader boasts an excellent ...

Excellent e-ink display, easy to use and navigate, build quality seems impressive for such a compact device, great battery life, wireless access to Kindle Store via Whispernet

No native PDF support, Kindle model is closed and content from Amazon is DRM protected, books are more expensive than in the US, no effective way to sort purchased content, Web browsing blocked on international model, no external storage slot

MP3 playback works reasonably well but there is no on-screen navigation (you use shortcut keys to control your music instead). Text-to-speech reads your content out aloud, but the voice is very computer-like and doesn't sound natural. It's also only ...

Large display makes browsing a bit easier, comfortable to handle, keyboard easier to work with, auto-rotate, 4GB of storage

Still doesn't have backlighting

The Amazon Kindle DX is not so much a revolutionary new addition to Amazon's product line as it is a perhaps useful niche product for academia. And it's too early to tell whether Amazon will be able to penetrate the market enough with its dedicated e ...

Joystick feels stiff and is awkwardly placed

Best keyboard on a phone, Trackball makes for easy navigation

Poky EDGE network for data, Still doesn't support Word documents

The Sidekick 2008 isn't a bad phone - not at all. In fact, I wrote this entire review on its perfect little keyboard (in the body of an e-mail message, of course, since the phone doesn't support Word documents). It's just disappointing that after all ...

Excellent, vibrant display ; CF and SD card slots for extra storage ; solid performance

No built-in GPS, design is a little large and bulky, external speaker volume could have been louder

The iPAQ's VGA display alone makes it an excellent PDA while the dual-storage slots make it easy to upgrade memory. This is a solid, high-end device for professionals.

User-friendly interface, time-efficient applications, huge library of templates, PDF support

PDF support requires download, light on advanced features, "it's not Adobe InDesign"

Microsoft Publisher 07 is an affordable 'all-in-one' publishing application ideal for home-run businesses. While it fails to match the professional sheen of its market leading rivals, there are more than enough features here to fulfil a variety of ...

Loud, clear speaker for navigation ; 3.2-megapixel camera ; microSD slot ; improves connectivity over previous model ; emergency locator ; addition of Wi-Fi

Slower processor causes lag between menu screens, still no 3G support, average route calculation

There have been some good improvements to the Mio A702 over its predecessor, the A701, and while the navigation wasn't overly effective, it is a hybrid device and can't be expected to do everything perfectly.

Low cost, some cool features

Sluggish at times, horrible navigation, signal strength is not always perfect

The Pocket Surfer 2 is a very cool concept, however its combination of poor interface, horrible navigation and somewhat sluggish load times means an Internet-enabled smartphone is still probably a better option unless you're really on a budget.

Great screen, fast operation, slim

Support for media files is a little narrow

While for many users a PDA is a superfluous device these days, for those that want an extremely quick, fully featured handheld PC then HP's iPAQ 112 is towards the top of the pack.

With PowerPoint, you can correct mistakes or fine tune your recording

Too many features that may confuse novices, price

In terms of features, Camtasia Studio 5.0 is the best choice for professionals, although the sheer wealth of options means it takes time to learn properly. The only down side is the fact that it is possible to buy (low-quality) recording software for ...
