Review: JAYS t-JAYS Three Earphones

Swedish earphone maker JAYS are here in Australia and they want to take your music listening experience to a whole new level. And we have the t-JAYS Three earphones on our desk to review. However, does these prove to be “Dynamic High-Fidelity Earphones” or will it fall flat on its face? And does the cost justify your purchase?

Review: Red Dead Redemption

The western setting has never really transferred nicely into a game that you would want to play, with most cowboy person games being forgettable. But I think that this is all about to change with the release of the best damn western game I’ve seen ever.

Review: BlackBerry Torch 9800

While the BlackBerry still is one of a businessman’s best friend, it still faces some challenges when it comes with the Apple iPhone and Google Android-powered phone. And after years of constantly trying to outdo the popular phones (and, in some cases, failing – such as the BlackBerry Touch), the Torch is its latest attempt to revamp the brand.

Review: BigPond Ultimate USB Modem

The BigPond Ultimate USB Modem is Australia’s fastest 3GB modem and it sure meant business. Customers within 5km’s of Capital CBD’s, can receive up to and including 20 Mbps, speeds only seen on ADSL2+ connections. This is the world’s first commercial modem to use a new generation of HSPA+ technology which sends and receives data through two channels simultaneously.

Review: OXX Digital Pocket

The OXX Digital Pocket, however, is unlike most digital radios – it’s slim and small. However, does size make all the difference in performance, quality and even picking up the signals? Does it deserve to be in that Christmas stocking? As well, is it worth getting digital radio, despite it still being a niche?

Review: Motorola DEFY

The Motorola DEFY has landed in Australia. One of the latest offerings on the Telstra’s network, the phone features a five megapixel camera and a chassis unlike other Android offerings from all carriers. However, is it a good phone compared to the rest of the Android phones, such as HTC’s Desire HD? Or does it fall flat on its knees?

Review: Parrot AR.Drone

Showcased at CES 2010 in January and launched in the United States already, Australia is finally getting the long awaited device. The quadricopter that can be controlled with your Apple iPad, iPhone or iPod touch seems pretty cool in the videos, but does it relate to reality when you get your hands on it? Is it also worth your hard-earned dollars to get, or give as a gift to a friend or a love one?

Review: Apple iPad

The Apple iPad has already been out for more than six months, so why post our review? Well, mainly to give you our editors take on the device just in time for the Holiday Shopping Season. Does the iPad do well when TECHGEEK.com.au gives it for a spin – eight months later. Does the iPad live up to the hype and to the same standard of its sister products – the MacBook, the iPod and the iPhone? Is it better than them, or is it worse?
