The guys and girls over at CNET.com.au are experts when it comes to reviewing tech, so we figured it would be a good idea to do a quick round-up of all the gaming-related gadgets they've played with over the past couple of weeks. Whether it's a new monitor, or a new mobile phone with support from some of the gaming industry's biggest players, you'll find a short summary of it here to float your boat.

　　Logitech Harmony Adapter for PlayStation 3

　　Since the PlayStation 3's release, Sony has been pushing it as being the centre of your home entertainment experience. It's got a Blu-ray drive, HDMI 1.3, DLNA media streaming, but sadly thanks to the PS3's use of Bluetooth to transmit remote data, people have been unable to use their universal remotes with the PS3--until now. Logitech has released an adapter that picks up the radio signals sent out from the universal remote and then repackages it into a Bluetooth transmission so that the PS3 can pick it up. The only catch is that the adapter is only compatible with Logitech's own Harmony range of universal remotes. After a bit of hands-on time with the adapter, the CNET.com.au crew found that "Setting up the device isn't completely painless (or cheap), but once up and running it does provide total control over your PS3 including the ability to power it on and off." So in other words it works, but its A$99.95 price tag is a bit expensive for an adapter.

　　Logitech Harmony One

　　It's all very well to have a universal remote adapter for the PlayStation 3, but what about the remote to go along with it? According to the folks at CNET Australia, the Logitech Harmony One is one of the best (and most expensive) universal remotes going around. For A$399, you'll get a sturdy built remote control that features a colour touch-screen and a dedicated charging cradle. When it came to using the device, they found that not only is it easy to use, but it's also "easy to explain to the less-technically minded", an important feature when explaining it to your parents, kids, or partner. While we're a big fan of universal remotes, we're still not sold on the A$399 price tag that goes along with it.

　　Dell 2209WA

　　It's no secret that Dell is widely regarded as the maker of some of the best monitors around, and it looks like the company has done it again with the 2209WA. For starters, the monitor is reasonably priced at A$459 and boasts a 1680x1050-pixel resolution with a contrast ratio of 1000:1. At the end of the day though, we want to know how well it did under gaming pressure CNET found that "The 2209WA ate DisplayMate for breakfast, then flew in more DisplayMate to have for lunch, showing smooth gradients and displaying all 255 monochrome shades. Movie watching was a joy, as was our Half-Life 2: Episode 2 gaming session, with no noticeable detractions."

　　Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

　　Now you might find yourself wondering why we've included a mobile phone among our list of recent gaming tech, but seeing as the iPhone is proving to be quite a popular platform to develop games for, with backers from the likes of EA and THQ, we figured it had earned itself a mention. The new the iPhone 3GS supports HSDPA 3G technology and features a faster CPU than the previous model, so loading apps (specifically games) is much snappier. During their testing CNET found that "games...can be more significant, a 15-second load may drop down to five or six seconds". While they concluded that upgrading from an iPhone 3G to a 3GS may not be worthwhile, there's certainly enough new features in the phone to make it a worthwhile pick-up for anyone who hasn't got one.
