 Gadgets Dark Shadow MP3 SunglassesApril 2007 | Nu-Australia
Some pairings, unlikely at first, can have an uncanny synergy - like maple syrup and bacon. Then again, others, while logical, can end up suffering the reverse Gestalt: the whole is less than the sum of the parts.  LG 50PB2DR (127 cm plasma screen)April 2007 | LG
High-definition screens are well and good, but what they don’t tell you is that most screens have a fuzzy, old low-res analogue TV tuner built in. That means you will need a separate high-definition digital set-top box to tune in to the good stuff.  Philips 42PF9831 (107 cm LCD screen)April 2007 | Philips
A few hours into watching it and you could well find yourself pondering what it is that’s different about the Philips 42PF9831. Then if you move your eyes a little beyond the edge of the screen, you might just spot it.  Samsung SP61K3HX 155 cm rear projection screenApril 2007 | Samsung
Plasma and LCD might get all the attention, but rear projection technology has progressed in leaps and bounds in recent years, delivering a high quality picture for a very competitive price.  Nokia E61April 2007 | Nokia
Nokia has made a reputation as an innovator in mobile telephony through its experimentation with a wide variety of unique designs. This innovation extends into its business range of phones, with devices such as the E series.  HP iPAQ rw6828April 2007 | HP
While devices like the BlackBerry and HP’s own iPAQ hw6965 are targeted at busy professionals, the iPAQ rw6828 is aimed at hip, tech-savvy users who want to extend their multimedia capabilities.  Dopod 838ProApril 2007 | Dopod
Another recent entrant to the smart phone market in Australia, Dopod is causing quite a stir with its funky 838Pro.  Asus P525April 2007 | Asus
Asus is a relative newcomer to the smart phone market, but the P525 is an impressive example of everything a modern smart phone can do. This quad-band GSM mobile phone supports WiFi wireless networking for communicating with your home or office network.  Cannondale T800April 2007 | Cannondale
Australia is a big country. And one perfectly suited to long-distance bike rides. Whether you're moseying along the coast, through the hinterlands or doing a lap of the whole big island, what you want is a touring bike.  Giant InnovaApril 2007 | Giant
If screaming down a mountainside, on or off road, is not your priority, but comfort, versatility and affordability are, then the Giant Innova might be just the bike for you.  M5 Shock Proof 406April 2007 | M5
Sure, racing bikes and the Tour de France get all the attention, but the truth of the matter is that recumbent bikes — bikes where you recline and pedal forward — have always been faster.  Trek Session 10April 2007 | Trek
When you've just spent several slow-mo seconds floating through the air and you're about to re-merge with the ground on your way down a steep mountain side, what you want, more than anything in the world, is shock-absorbers.  Trek Madone SSLxApril 2007
If you’re not sure which racing bike to invest your hard earned in, why not take some advice from an expert? Say, Lance Armstrong, record-holding seven-time consecutive winner of the Tour de France? Well, for his final winning ride in 2005 there was only one bike for him, and that was the Trek SSLx.  Creative Zen Vision:MApril 2007 | Creative
Apple and Creative have a chequered past. Lawsuits fly between these two technology giants as fast as neutrinos between nuclear furnaces, and they battle it out with competing audio players as well as in the courts.  Samsung YP-Z5April 2007 | Samsung
You can more or less sum up the portable music player market with two categories: Apple and everyone else. And everyone else has its sights squarely set on Apple.
