A&D UA-704 Palm Top Monitor

Palm Top of the pile

Advantages: Light, powerful, elegant, good battery life, lots of software available.
Disadvantages: Not a stand alone product

Once you have mastered Graffiti, which takes next to no time, then the Palm is an excellent tool to have at one's disposal. It has an advatage in terms of size over the Psion in that you can really put it in a shirt, jacket or trouser pocket. The software (Chapura Pocket Mirror) supplied, which allows you to connect the cradle to your computer and synchronise your Palm with Outlook is excellent, and is something I use a great deal, rather than using Palm Desktop as a syncing tool. Indeed for users of other software, it is possible to download from the web anything you require. The range of freeware and the easiness of installation via HotSync is outstanding. Whilst the IIIe is for everyone, the Vx is certainly more for the business man, which explains the IR link, allowing you to beam contacts, appointments and other things to other ...

Babylon A.D.: how to destroy creativity

Advantages: Some alright stunts
Disadvantages: Studio interference, horrendous script and acting

note: also appears on my film review website, ShaunMunro.co.uk, and Dooyoo! Babylon A.D. is a film branded as ?pure violence and stupidity? by even its own director, Mathieu Kassovitz, who further resolves that ?parts of the movie are like a bad episode of ?24??. Whilst Kassovitz?s claims that Fox seized much of his creative and directorial control would surprise few, Babylon A.D. is still a sloppily directed and poorly acted film from every angle. It is incredibly unfortunate for all involved that the film is so ill-conceived when noting the considerable promise at hand ? fans of action heavyweight Vin Diesel have no doubt been chomping at the bit to witness his return to the realm of explosions and effects extravaganzas, since his last (albeit mediocre) effort to that effect, in The Chronicles of Riddick. As far as high ...

Review of Babylon A.D. (DVD)

Palm TX - Launched 2005 and still the top PDA

Advantages: Stable, excellent OS; masses of free software available; still the top dog.
Disadvantages: None.

The Palm TX has been around for a while now and so you may find it a little odd that I'm writing a review of it. More odd is the fact that the TX is still sold new, years after it first came out. The reason? As a PDA, it has yet to be surpassed. Not only is it extremely easy to use and connects to open wifi hotspots with ease, it also has a massive collection of free software available online - from games to productivity, from connectivity to health and wellbeing. It comes bundled with an excellent browser (Blazer) but you can also run Opera and some other browsers on it too. The email software is also more than adequate. It is also a top multimedia player and when used in conjunction with the right software, can happily display streaming tv and, if you connect it up to a stereo, makes a handy internet radio. If you are ...
