Apple Video / Audio cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p.

Advantages: Great pictures and you can connect it to a number of devices.
Disadvantages: It is expensive and the cable is quite short.

Advantages: beautiful design, compact, entire album collection portable for car
Disadvantages: customer service poor, sometimes unable to charge, back scratches easily.

...I have always been a fan of apple products. Always worked on mac computers. And the ipod nano is true to the mac ethos. Timeless, user friendly and functional design. you don't need to be a technical genius to use it. the software is slick and simple to use on it own, using itunes and linking to other products. My only complaint is that although the casing is slick the build isn't as good quality and the computers. My ipod although I still love it has been problematic. There seems to be an issue connecting it to the computer to charge. Every so often when I connect it isn't recognised by itunes and won't charge. While at the same time the ipod thinks its connected and won't let me disconnect. If I force it and manually remove ignoring the warning it then completely jams while still illuminated. The only way it fixes itself is... Read review
