Western Digital WD TV
Western Digital comes to the media streaming party with a product set to shake.
BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220
The first BlackBerry clamshell looks great and does the basics well, though its lack of 3G data speeds is disappointing.
Archos 5
If you can afford it and want the best combination of Web access and outstanding video performance, this is one of the only players in the world you need to consider, despite its flaws.
Samsung Omnia
In terms of features the Omnia stands out as one of the best smartphones to date. It's a shame this doesn't translate into a phone we'd enjoy using from day to day.
Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
Though slightly flawed, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 makes pen-based computing feasible for the average worker.
Lexus RX400h (2006)
For those craving a luxury four-wheel drive with an emphasis on luxury rather than cornering elan, then the RX400h is a good choice. It's about as much four-wheel drive as many of us will ever need, and its fuel thrift is pleasing too.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred
Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 isn't perfect, but it's the best dictation software available. We don't find this upgrade necessary for the most basic dictation, although new features may benefit heavily-accented English speakers and those who rely heavily on voice commands.
Palm Centro
Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.
MobileMe
MobileMe is the successor to .Mac, Apple's subscription service for publishing photos and other personal content to the Web.
Iriver E100 (4GB)
Video's a little shonky and scrolling will test your patience, but the E100 delivers the audio goods and throws in some nifty features to boot.
Bang & Olufsen and Samsung Serenata
The Bang & Olufsen and Samsung Serenata is a premium music player first and a phone second — look out iPhone, there's a new kid in town.
Windows Live Hotmail
Drag-and-drop message organisation and a built-in MP3 player are among the notable new features to this radical overhaul of Hotmail.
Windows Media Player 10.0
The latest version of Windows Media Player is a must-have upgrade for Windows XP users.
Dell XPS M1530
Don't let the slim design and relatively light heft fool you. This XPS is one powerful gaming portable with an impressive feature set for work and play.
Logitech diNovo Mini Keyboard
If you're a home theatre PC owner looking for the perfect input device, look no further. Logitech has melded the keyboard of a BlackBerry with a flexible cursor control pad into an attractive, coffee-table-ready package.
Asus EeePC 701
The EeePC isn't for everyone — in fact within about two seconds from picking it up you'll know if it's for you or not. For those it does appeal to, it's a brilliant little thing that fills a much lamented gap.
Netgear EVA8000 Digital Entertainer HD
Netgear's EVA8000 is a streaming media player designed to plug into your high-definition television, allowing you to enjoy your videos and listen to music stored on your network from the comfort of your lounge.
Windows Media Player 11
For Windows XP users, Windows Media Player 11 is a must-have upgrade. It's Microsoft's best jukebox effort to date, thanks to a thoughtful redesign, impressive performance, and a ton of useful features.
Sony Ericsson V600i
The v600i is a good jumping in point for 3G telephony, although there are flashier models out there.

Cars in tune with hands-free digital audio
Ford, GM and Mazda team up with Apple to integrate the digital-music devices into their 2007 models.
Around and about the Macworld floor
Despite what you may see in the press, Macworld isn't just about the iPhone. Scores of companies gather at the conference each year to show off their wares to the estimated 40,000 attendees.
