The latest Apple Mac and Apple-related hardware and software reviewed for New Zealand and global Mac users - Braven BRV-1 BT wireless weatherproof speaker
Fancy a weatherproof speaker with a good sound and more power, that plays your iPhone's music without wires? No worries. - Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for iPad
It's a strong case yet it's also a decent keyboard – what could be nicer? - Logitech M555b Bluetooth mouse
The Logitech M555b Bluetooth mouse needs no cables and features hyperfast scrolling - Logitech Broadcaster Wi-Fi Webcam
Logitech’s been undertaking a positive effort to make products for Apple users again, and mostly it’s doing a top class job of it. The idea of this camera is that, using a Mac, iPad or iPhone you can control and preview video. It doesn’t even surpass your built-in camera, as you can use both. You can then edit in iMovie or Final Cut, or just video chat via Skype, FaceTime or iChat (if you still have that) - Suunto Ambit watch
With all the speculation about an Apple ‘iWatch’, I got the opportunity to look at something like it; a Finnish Suunto Ambit GPS watch. Since this recently received a prestigious Good Design award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in cooperation with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies, I figured it would be a good example - Snapheal 2.2
Adding great erasing tools to other image retouching features addresses a gap in iPhoto - Magician
It’s not often I review something that’s free, but I have had so many emails regarding what people should do about constant entreaties to buy MacKeeper that I feel it’s timely to look at utilities, what they do and show a pretty comprehensive new and free example called Magician - Logitech Rechargeable Trackpad T651 for Mac
I like it when companies with this kind of clout make products for Apple devices, as they’re invariably-well made and well thought out. This large trackpad connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and it’s rechargeable via a supplied mini USB cable - NetSpot 2
Easily and comprehensively analyse your wireless network with this excellent software tool – but you need a Mac laptop. - Audio Technica Stereo Condenser microphone ATR6250
This microphone delivers better on-camera sound for your filming with video cameras or DSLRs - Logitech UE 6000 headphones
Logitech UE 6000 headphones with active noise cancellation - Logitech UE Boombox
A Swiss company that manufactures where everyone else manufactures, Logitech has a long history of making mostly excellent computer and device peripherals. - LaCie Rugged Triple 1TB
The French external hard drive firm was recently acquired by hard drive supplier Seagate and has now produced some Thunderbolt and USB 3 hard drives – this unit combines both those connection technologies - iRig Mix
The iRig Mix box lets you use your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad in conjunction with other devices to mix music with EQ, crossfader, headphone cue and mic input, and to play guitar or sing via apps along with a stereo (or into headphones) - Belkin Car Charger with Lightning connector
New Product: Belkin Car Charger with Lightning connector - iRig Keys
A light, trim keyboard that works equally well with a Mac or an iDevice - iRig Stomp
iRig Stomp is a real stomp box that triggers AmpliTube app-based effects - Two IK Multimedia microphones
The Italian company IK Multimedia has a long association with sound and music technology for Macs and iDevices, and has lately branched out into hardware - Epson XP-700 multifunction
Wireless printer aims to solve all your needs in one trim package - Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 for Mac
I love and hate wireless keyboards. I love the convenience of no wired connections tangling up on my desk, but I hate lost connections and worse, the batteries dying at the most inconvenient of times. This keyboard solves everything. - Stellar Phoenix Photo Recovery
Utility app rescues deleted images – I have about ten products to review, so this is the first of a swathe ... - Review: Retina MacBook Pro (mid 2012)
I tested a MacBook Pro with Retina Display specced out to 16GB RAM, 2.6GHz Quad-Core Intel Ivy Bridge i7 and a 512GB SSD for storage against a mid-2012 MacBook Pro, specced out in its day with a high-res display, 8GB RAM and a fast 7200RPM 500GB drive - Plantronics Backbeat GO earbuds
Plantronics Backbeat GO earbuds – great cable-free concept, let down by insufficient volume and bass - Lifeproof iPhone case
LifeProof iPhone 4/4S case — Once you’ve got your iPhone, you want to look after it - iStabilizer

STM and NVS have you covered for your devices - Canon Speedlite 320EX
Sophisticated, versatile, yet easy to use - Corel AfterShot Pro 1.0.0.9
Corel has entered the professional and prosumer photo wrangling market with some new software - iPhone 4S
Armistice Day brought the iPhone 4S to New Zealand. I've had a week with it, and here's what I found. - Philips O'Neill Stretch headphones
Philips has collaborated with O’Neill, the surfboard maker, to create some headphones (three models, Stretch, Specked earbuds and Snug) that suit the active outdoors life more. That, married to an impressive set of sound reproduction specifications, means the Stretch headphones are worth a good look. - Philips Fidelio DS8550
Industrial design is oh so important, and Apple gets criticised for dumbing down devices for the sake of slick products. But I love that. I’m so used to Apple devices, it’s a shock when I have to struggle with a product from another brand – why does a DVD player need to be hard to use? But Philips has made something good here, that works well with an iDevice - Iomega Mac Companion 2TB hard drive
Back in the day, Iomega was a solid supporter of the Apple world – their Bernoulli drives and then Zip disks must have graced every Mac toting agency in the world, and although they also made products for PCs, they were regarded as the Mac friendly go-to guys for hard drives and portable storage. - NetSpot
I don't normally review Beta software, but this one's free while in Beta and it shows a handy map of your WiFi signal strength so you can see exactly what's what with your wireless network. - Final Cut Pro X
This is probably my longest review yet, at over 5000 words, but there's a lot to cover! At end, though: I love this version, despite its failings. There's far, far more good than bad. - ArcticSound P281 headphones
A budget set of headphones from Arctic sound surprisingly good - Arctic Sound E361-BM earbuds with microphone
Based in Switzerland, Arctic Cooling's new E361-BM earbuds are stylish and reproduce detailed sound with great accuracy - Arctic E352 earbuds
Wooden earbuds from Arctic Cooling promise more bass - Dragon Dictate
Some have a dream – that they can sit there and chat to their Mac and the words appear as text on a screen. This dream is not a dream – not with Dragon Dictate. - Kanex iAdapt V2 Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor
Ever wanted to plug your Mac – most likely a laptop – into an HD TV? Sometimes when I am presenting, I find TVs installed instead of projectors. Or you might just want to use that lovely HD LCD TV you have to show a movie or a slideshow. Now you can. - JVC Everio GSTD1 3D video camera
JVC’s first consumer 3D camcorder is an interesting looking beast – it has two lenses in its wide (but still handy) body. So from the front it looks rather like Wal-E. It shoots 3D video in full HD. - Canon PowerShot SX30 IS
The new PowerShot SX30 IS is the world’s first digital compact camera to house a huge super telephoto 35x zoom. In the old-fashioned nomenclature of analogue photography, this is equivalent to a 24mm ‘wide-angle’ lens that zooms in to 300mm (and further, with digital zoom, but who uses that?). - a-JAYS four earbuds with mic & remote
Flat, black, tangle free cord, stylish speakers and an easy to handle remote control for iPhone - Stellar Phoenix Macintosh 4.1
Have you ever lost files? Usually this is inadvertent – you put them in the trash. Then you emptied it. Can you raise these files from the ashes? Fortunately, yes – and here's a new option - v-JAYS Heavy Duty Bass Speakers
The v-JAYS Heavy Duty Bass Speakers are actually Swedish-designed headphones. They have Mylar speakers in the headpieces. With a light, sturdy frame and square, rounded-corner speakers, they are elegant and unobtrusive - NVS iPad case
Looking like a large well-padded wallet when closed, this new-to-NZ hand-made leather NVS case opens up to allow setting the screen in any of four angles in wide-screen orientation, or you can stand it on one side for an upright, portrait view. - t-JAYS Three earbuds
A premium earbud under the microscope – how do the more expensive earbuds from Sweden stack up? They have better bass and more accessories, including a travel case, the same range of earbud sleeves for a perfect fit and they're loud. - a-JAYS One review
New Swedish-origin JAYS earbuds and headphones are now available in New Zealand. They are black, well-made and sound pretty good. Here's the first of three reviews of these slinky black devices. - Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700
MacBooks and other laptops get warm – even hot, depending on use and conditions. Running Final Cut Pro – or even iTunes sometimes – can really get the fans to spin-up and work overtime. - Microsoft Office:Mac 2011
Microsoft is caught with any Mac release in two ways. Firstly, all those PC switchers and/or those who use a PC at work, say, and a Mac at home want the experience to be extremely similar, both for the sake of ease of use, and for productivity. This is a most reasonable expectation, and if Microsoft’s assertion that a billion Macs and PCs are running Office in one form or another is true, it's certainly an expectation with considerable weight! - FutureMouse Swiftpoint
Kiwi ingenuity – designed in Christchurch and made in Thailand, the Swiftpoint promises to be a revolutionary device. For one thing, it’s tiny – with is partly the point. It’s so small you can happily use it on the space below the keyboard and beside the central trackpad on most laptops, and most definitely this is the case for all Apple laptops - 27-inch i7 iMac
I recently checked out the latest new iMac, a top-of-the-line 2.93GHz with the bigger 2TB traditional-style hard drive fitted (not the SSD) and 12GB RAM. It took seven days to arrive once ordered, outfitted and shipped direct from China. You can track these purchases online (shipping is free) as they approach, which is cool. - Epson Workforce 633
What everyone seems to want these days is the ability to print from iPads, iPod touches and iPhones – with the increasing use of workday applications on, particularly, iPads, you can imagine why – a printout of that Numbers spreadsheet, for example. This printer handles that fine. - Clickfree C2 Automatic backup
The C2 is another all-in-one design with the USB cable built right in, except this time it’s a hard drive. It offers the usual Clickfree automatic backup of PC or Mac computers, along with iPod music and playlist import - Clickfree Traveller
The Clickfree Traveler is a sleek, automatic backup solution that’s in between the size of a credit card and a postcard, and it’s only about 2mm thick. With a brushed aluminium chassis, it suits the Pro Macs in looks. - Clickfree backup devices
Canadian company Clickfree, inventors of ‘effortless computer backup’, has just launched four feature-rich, simple-to-use backup solutions on the New Zealand market. Clickfree products are able to backup multiple computers, networks and mobile storage devices, like the iPod, iPad and iPhone easily and effortlessly. - Drive Genius 3
It’s always in your interests to monitor and check the condition of your Mac’s hard drive, and while the free Apple Disk Utility in your Utilities' folder inside the Applications' folder can do the basics, if you want more, or continuous monitoring, you should be looking further afield. - Lexar Echo ZE 16GB USB drive
Little tiny USB drive packs in the Gigabytes. Physically, ‘thumb drives’ are usually about the size of a thumb, logically enough. But this thing is about the size of a thumb nail! Despite that, it holds a very impressive 16GBs of data. - iRig guitar interface
Since an iPhone (and an iPod touch, for that matter) is a computer, and because it’s so portable, with a couple of little add-ons, it becomes oh, so much more. Most add-ons are apps, of course, like the iStethoscope that 3 million doctors have already downloaded – you can literally use your iPhone as a stethoscope for $1.29. A few add-ons, though, are physical, like this little iRig device from IK Multimedia. - Arctic sound speakers & headphones
Some OK little speakers, a not-great-for-Mac gaming headset, but wonderful Bluetooth ’phones - Flip Boom All Star
This software aims to make it easy to animate, with a set of characters to get you started. And it is easy to use – drag-and-drop easy. - Four products in one review
Short reviews: This stuff has been building up on me so I decided to do them all in one review: Blue Lounge CableDrop multipurpose cable clips; Australian SmirkAbout budsocks, SmirkAbout iPhone and iPod skins and Norton Internet security for Mac and Windows - Review – Adobe Indesign CS5
When I started this, I thought 'great, should be able to knock this review off in no time, it looks almost the same as the CS4 version'. Nope! A week later, I am surprised and pleased to say that's not the case. This new version is close enough that you can keep working without noticing much difference, but when you do start noticing, you'll be very pleasantly surprised. - Adobe CS5: Photoshop v12
Adobe's new Creative Suite 5 is full of features that will make you work faster, more efficiently and collaborate more easily. I start the reviews with Photoshop, which reaches v12 in this incarnation. - 15-inch i7 MacBook Pro, May 2010
My 2007 MacBook Pro, which I was so proud of three years ago, looks decidedly dated beside the new i7 version. It has a slightly lower profile with the lid closed, more rounded corners to slip into a bag more easily, and its slick, shiny screen is surrounded by the black bezel. - Canon G11 pro-pocketable
My everyday camera has been a Canon PowerShot G6, a 7.1 megapixel prosumer point and shoot I have been using constantly for nearly five years. The latest in the series, the G11, also gets the ‘prosumer’ title due to its features, high-end processor and the ability to shoot manually (with caveats). - Canon IXUS 200 IS
Canon's new range of compacts features some touch-screen models like this IXUS 200 IS. It's amazing what Canon can pack all this into such small yet such a competent camera - Phitek Black Box M10 headphones
Phitek Black Box M10 Noise Cancellation headphones take the pain out of air travel while delivering excellent sound quality - Apple Aperture 3
Two-hundred new features sounds pretty impressive for any software, and it’s hard to imagine how many you could add to what’s basically a pro version of iPhoto. But Apple managed it, for sure. - Intego VirusBarrier X6
Another entry into the flashy, powerful Mac antivirus arsenal is Intego VirusBarrier X6. And it does seem to be all those things (both flashy and powerful). - Review data Rescue 3
I have used Data Rescue in previous versions to restore a lecturer’s lost high-resolution photographs that were inadvertently trashed. What a Godsend! Here's the latest version ... - Sims 3 World Adventures
The Sims is one of the few extremely successful computer games with a significant female following, plus simultaneous Mac and PC releases. The first of the Sims 3 expansion packs is World Adventures. Ary Jansen has been reviewing The Sims for national magazines since she was 12 – here's her take on this new game extender exclusively for mac-nz. - Snow Leopard Server
The idea with a server is that it’s on all the time, doing its … you know, serving. That’s why a server is normally installed on a standalone computer that’s not doing anything else, although it is possible to use it as your Mac, as the typical Apple apps are all there, just like on any other OS X Mac, (apart from iLife) along with some extra server tools. - Early 2009 Mac Pro Quad Core
The benchmark for all Apple machines is the Mac Pro. And it's heavy enough to mark some benches, too. Whereas you may, these days, see the occasionally iMac in pro studios, you’re much more likely to see a great big visual statement of the aluminium tower, purring away in its austere beauty. - 21.5-inch iMac review
Containing a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU with 4GB RAM wrapped in shiny 21.5-inch goodness, this is the bottom model of the iMacs. - Snow Leopard & file sharing review
Written by Glenn Fleishman, edited by Tonya Engst (Version 1.0, published October 2009 by TidBITS Publishing Inc). - Elements 8
Adobe has released a new version of its consumer image editing software for Mac. - STM Latte 13-inch laptop bag
A chic, stylish but oh-so-practical laptop bag from STM in Australia - Canon PIXMA MP550
Canon PIXMA MP550 has a self-opening paper tray and a new integrated easy-scroll wheel - Poll

So far there are no tangible viruses for the Apple Mac platform. - Interviews
Interviews with Mac developers, users, personalities and more - Mediatoop, Holland: Stukje Appeltaart*
Last year when I was in Holland I interviewed the very knowledgeable Miro Lucassen, editor of the country’s Mac magazine Mac Fan. This year I happened to end up here again for several weeks and thought it would be interested to talk to a dedicated Dutch Mac user, and had the good fortune to meet a man who goes by the trade name of Mediatoop. He’s a long-term Apple user and was, at one-time, a professional basketball player. We chatted back and forth about what we think about Apple, and I gained some insights into the Dutch Apple scene - Michael Lopp – 8 years at Apple
Michael recently wrote the book Being Geek (a career handbook for geeks and nerds). He also wrote Managing Humans that explains that while you might be rewarded for your products, you will only be successful because of your people. He's a Silicon Valley man born and bred, and recently worked for Apple. - Don McGlashan, Dean Spanley & Macs
I was enchanted by the movie Dean Spanley, and the soundtrack played a big part in that enchantment. So I asked musician-composer Don McGlashan about that, and about the Macs in his life. - Kiwa Media, the iPad & QBook
With the iPad, Apple could become a leading intermediary for the publishing business, as it largely has for the music industry.
