Even the wife likes it :-)

Advantages: Looks great, easy to set up, learning features
Disadvantages: Can be limited if you want to do anything too complex

...control is the 1st in Philips Prestigo range. It's a long slender remote control with a touch screen and a jog wheel. The jog wheel can be used to cycle through different devices a la ipod. The devices include TV, Freeview, Cable, Satellite, Hi-Fi, DVD There are hard buttons for the channel up and down and volume, so you aren't reliant on the touch screen. There is also a provision for the "red" button if required The touch screen looks fantastic ...
...you are limited to how Philips choose to layout the screens so if you have a DVD that acts as a hi-fi, it might cause issues. This means you can't customise the touch screen with moving buttons around. The other thing I tried to do but couldn't was on the Freeview menu, to introduce the volume controls for the TV (the Freeview box is JVC and the TV is Toshiba). However, despite getting the remote control to learn the volume controls from the TV ...

Who said lego was just for kids?

Advantages: Cute, Price, simple to use, colours, durable, size
Disadvantages: sound quality( although good for size)

This mini speaker it sooo cute, when i found it on the internet i just couldn't resist, for a mere £12, it was a bargain buy. I was actually very suprised about the sound quality because it's tiny ( only weighs 15 g) and as wide as an i-pod classic (6cm x 2cm x 1.5 cm) but the active bass system gives it a real boost, not loud enough for a party but works very well for personal use e.g.) In a car, at home on holiday, loud enough fussy neighbours ...
...up the ipod quite steadily and the docking bit is really strong and durable allowing it to hold easily. However if you have a thick silicone cover that covers the rest of the bottom bit then it may need a little more encouragement (or you can just take it off). It's compatible with all i-pods but only the first generation i-pod touch (because the second generation has it's own speaker). It's really simple for use, a child could do it with ease, no ...

Review of HOTcraze iBlock Lego Brick Mini Portable Speaker for iPod & iPhone

Sony and Apple, they make it great

Advantages: Read the review
Disadvantages: Read the review

...is quite intricate. No doubt Sony produces excellent products but I think there is no comparison with Bose speakers which are, agreed, too pricy but none the less capable of stunning audio. But I don’t think one has to fall back on Bose speakers for a good device meant for family or home entertainment. No body can deny the fact that music is very much related to human emotions and does influence their daily activity. While bad audio can ruin a quality ...
...Apple iPod touch 8GB the Sony SRS-GU10IP Dock Speakers provides not only power full and rich audio but it is also very deep in bass, intense and soothing. The Bass Boost performs to a nicety. It is only natural because it is stuffed with full range bass-reflex and the woofer to work up the treble. No problems at all with iPods but as I mentioned earlier needs a jerk when connected with iPhone. I can’t but adore its wonderful performance at low volume. ...

Review of Sony SRSGU10IP iPod Speaker

iPod Socks......Rocks!

Advantages: Keeps you iPod shiny and new.
Disadvantages: Have to take the iPod out of the sock to use it

Do you get a nice shiny new iPod and make a promise to yourself that you will look after it and then to keep it looking new for as long as possible? Do you keep this up for about a week and then start throwing it in you bag/rucksack/pocket? Do you now get really annoyed because your nice shiny iPod now has scratches all over it? If the answer is yes to the above then you need some iPod socks! iPod socks are as the name suggests a sock for your iPod. ...
...whenever you aren’t using it. They come in packs of six (Orange, Grey, Pink, Green, Blue and Purple) and are supposed to be compatible with all iPods except the iPod Shuffle. All iPods do fit into the socks. IPod nanos slide easily in and out, so could fall out if it is in your bag upside down, but admittedly this has never happened to me! iPod touches are I think, slightly too wide. They do fit in the socks but it is a bit of a stretch. I can’t ...

Nike iPod Sport Sensor Training Kit

Advantages: Value for Money, Easy to Use, Good Motivation
Disadvantages: Proper Trainers Are Expensive

...I chose to use the Nike website to create a run around my area then use it. Just in case my stride length differs from treadmill to ground. ~~~Uses~~~ From the menu on your iPod, you can choose whether you want to run a certain distance, for a certain time or burn a certain amount of calories. You can also just do a 'basic' workout which just lets you get on with it and you can stop whenever. You can keep track of how you're doing during ...
...then be uploaded to the nike website, where you can keep track of all your runs. ~~~Music~~~ You can of course listen to your music while running. You have the option of listening to your playlists or shuffling your songs. You can also listen to an album, but you'll have to start playing the album before you set up your workout. This is because you can't browse through albums when in the Nike+ area, you can however select ' Now Playing'. ...
