    The good Good suite of security software Relatively inexpensive Dedicated ringer switch The bad Poor battery life QWERTY keypad hard to use Small QVGA display Optical sensor for directional pad not effective Design At 114.5x57x17.4mm and 160g, the Data Messenger can't exactly be considered small and light. That said, it comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, so the increased size and weight are expected. The front of the device has a glossy finish with a very clean design.

    The good Inexpensive Includes auto-document feeder Robust software suite 1.8-inch LCD Small footprint The bad Spotty output quality Lacks media card reader Just because you're on a budget doesn't mean you should be relegated to buying some cheap printer that can't function outside of simple text documents. If you need a device that can fax, copy, scan and print on a wide variety of media, the Canon Pixma MX330 will make a perfect addition to your home office.

    The good Incredible performance Huge array of network protocols and servers supported Print sharing and UPS support Huge array of backup options including online service supplied by Netgear Secure remote software provided Third-party add-ons available Excellent community surrounding the products The bad Users overcharged for models that include hard drives Inelegant recovery from catastrophic failure No UI-based way to change RAID modes No proper tab ordering in UI User management, sharing and permissions need a usability overhaul Design Taking its design cues from Netgear's other ReadyNAS appliances, the six-bay ReadyNAS Pro represents the pinnacle of the company's consumer offerings before things get a little more serious .

    Solid state has presented us with a problem. It's not just capacity mind you — it's that for the first time in recent memory there's a very real threat that even a single drive can saturate the bus it's attached to. Consequently companies are turning to PCI-E instead of SATA for SSD storage, of which Fusion-io is one

    The good Affordable OSD allows you to turn off the power light if it annoys Perfectly good for every day use The bad Glossy screen Does not support Blu-ray 24Hz over PS3 Blacks aren't as deep as we'd like TN based means colour professionals should stay away Design and features HP's 2309m is shiny — possibly to the point of distraction. The piano black bezel in combination with the high gloss screen can make for some pretty disturbing reflections, especially considering there is no height adjustment in this 23-inch, 1920x1080 screen, forcing you to angle it upwards to be able to look at it directly on. A couple of phone books (does anyone still use these any more?) shoved under the monitor would likely fix the issue, but at 23 inches we'd expect height management to be built into the stand.

    The good Multimedia messaging, video recording and voice dialling — finally Runs faster Promised longer battery life Multimedia quality continues to shine The bad No improvement in call quality 3G signal reception uneven Still no Flash Lite, USB transfer and storage, or multitasking Editor's note: this review was conducted by our CNET US colleagues. We will update it with local observations as soon as we get our mitts on the Australian version. The iPhone 3G S has the same external design as the iPhone 3G.
