Sony's DSC-FX77 has some really nifty features, including the addition of Bluetooth connectivity.

For the price, this unit doesn't have a lot going for it. It is clumsy to operate, and the display is too small. It has a slot for a Memory Stick, although a 'MagicGate' adaptor is required.

It's a phone! It's an MP3 player! It's convergence!

Great in day-to-day use, but poor software and high price dent its appeal.

Diminutive USB storage at the 1GB mark. Be careful, you may accidentally inhale it.

Sony's DVD201E HandyCam is a good example of how far DVD cameras have come and what a bit of commonsense can do when selecting the right format. Unlike some of the earlier DVD cameras which opted for the unpopular DVD-RAM rewritable format, Sony elected to go with the more common DVD-RW format.

If you’re wondering why we mention the K750i it’s because this is practically exactly the same phone.

Surround-sound support and mastering-quality plug-ins mean Sound Forge is better than ever.

For Sony, the advent of MP3 must have been a particular irritation. After all, well before MP3 achieved any popularity Sony had released its own perceptual encoding/compression system for digital audio: ATRAC.

Good to have WMP compatibility, but it needs better sound.

It may be pricey, but Sony's Walkman is a fine MP3 player and a good alternative to everything Apple

It’s what the professional audio market has to offer podcasters and budding musicians -- but quality comes at a cost.

Vegas has a huge array of editing features for the money, plus powerful bundled DVD authoring.

One beautiful camera, with one awful flaw.

An expensive and unusually poor Sony product.

Sony does it again with a Notebook to die for.

The Sony offers a comprehensive bundle, although it omits such niceties as IDE and audio cables.

Sony never lets you forget that it creates Personal Entertainment Organisers; Personal Data Assistants simply aren't trendy enough. But if you ignore the marketing, it rapidly becomes clear that the TJ35 is going head-to-head with the supposedly business-oriented Palm Tungsten E (January 2004, cover CD).

Sony has finally launched the Clie PDA in Australia.
