12:50PM Nick Broughall | Yesterday I had a bit of a hands-on with the new Sonos Zoneplayer S5 wireless music system. I don’t have a lot more to add to the US writeup, other than the fact that they’ve decided to drop the local price to $699, rather than the $799 they announced a few weeks ago. Better, but still a long way from $US399…

12:03PM Nick Broughall | The US guys had a pretty comprehensive review of the new Dyson Air Multiplier yesterday, but the folks at Dyson have just sent through the Aussie release details and I had to share:
The bladeless fan will be landing on October 21 in two different versions: 25cm for $379, or a 30cm version for $399. Sure, that’s pricey for a fan – but look at it! Look at it and then tell me you don’t want one.

10:24AM Nick Broughall | Last month, Foxtel announced that they were launching 30 new channels on the back of the Optus D3 satellite. What they didn’t mention was price. Now they have, and if you were crossing your fingers that they were going to just give you those bonus channels for free, you’re going to be a bit disappointed. Although it’s not all bad… More »

10:00AM Nick Broughall | Oh Sony, why do you hate yourself so much? Only you hold the key to get yourself out of this funk you’ve recently found yourself in. The PS3 Slim was a huge step in the right direction. The PSPGo on the other hand, is going to send you right back to the depths of despair you’ve been wallowing in, at least until you reach the same conclusion as everyone else that a $449 RRP is totally absurd.
