An Apple A Day...

Advantages: So many features, lots of aps, good camera, easy to master
Disadvantages: Battery does need charging quite frequently

...I?ve owned an iPhone now for a good few years and recently decided to change to the iPhone 4S from my iPhone 4. It may seem like a silly upgrade really as my contract wasn?t up and I paid upfront for the new handset, but with cash back I acquired and selling my iPhone 4 I justified it in my head and decided to go for it. After all, I?m a fool for fun new toys. Now I am going to try and keep this review focused on the things I think are most important for people thinking of buying a new phone. Obviously iPhones have a lot of features but I will try and be concise but thorough. As I?m sure most people know, the iPhone 4S is the latest release from Apple. I have a black iPhone 4S 16gb which I got handset only (as I wasn?t due an upgrade) direct from Apple for £499. It is available from all the usual phone retailers and on contract...

An apple a day

Advantages: apps
Disadvantages: no radio

...The iPod touch 3G 8GB is great value for money. If I was buying one again I'd purchase the 64GB version as I would like to put my whole music collection on it. However for someone who isn't looking for high capacity storage and just wants to put a selection of music on it, maybe some games and films, then this is more than adequate. The iPod is sleek and sexy; having a chrome finish to the back and the 3.5" screen to the front. It is slim; coming in at 7.2mm and fairly light at 101grams. I wear my iPod while running and wear it on an arm band. Due to the size and weight this is really comfortable. The screen (320 x 480) is fantastic and I've watched movies on there and found the quality extremely impressive. When apple claim that the iPod touch lasts up to 30 hours when using audio or 6 hours of video playback, they were not...

A Triumph from Apple!

Advantages: Brand new features which are incredibly advanced and an amazing camera
Disadvantages: No major disadvantages worth noting.

...A few weeks ago I upgraded my Apple iPhone 3GS 8GB for an Apple iPhone 4S 16GB. The iPhone 4S is just the newer version of the 4th generation of the iPhone. Apple is the producer of the iPhone. Well with a new upgrade comes a new and larger price plan and I had to pay a one off charge for the phone as well. I am with Vodafone who advertised refunding an amount of the one off payment charge if the phone was pre-ordered over a certain period so I of course pre-ordered the phone making my one of payment cheaper around £50.00. My price plan is £36.00 per month which includes 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of mobile data use. However, my first price plan on this phone made it to £45.00 (how I will never know!) The iPhone 4S comes in white or black. I went for white because I think it is a little bit more girly than the black...

The apple of my eye!

Advantages: great fatures
Disadvantages: battery life, no optical zoom

...I have had apple phones for the past five years and always like to have the latest model. I was pleased to see the new iPhone 4S feature an 8 megapixel 1080p HD camera and this was the main reason why I wanted the phone so much. Not only this, my previous iPhone was in need of repair, where the main button on the front of the device started sticking sometimes rendering it inoperable. I will try and write this review so it is friendly to readers who are new to Apple products. So for starters... How much did it cost? I do not like being tied into long contacts so I wanted a 12 month plan so ended up paying £239.99 for the phone. I could cash in my old phone for £90 so this reduced the price quite a lot. My contact is £41.00 a month and it is a price plan that suits my needs. This is with O2 and the same plan but taken on an 18month...

Touch the future with apple

Advantages: Internet and gaming on the move
Disadvantages: Internet only available if there is a router accessable

...Forget a nano or the video classic, the APPLE ITOUCH is the best handheld entertainment system you can get for the price. The design is sleek and stylish with the easy to manage touch screen menu to navigate through the various options. The unit boasts a minimum of 8gb of memory and sports, MP3 playback, video playback, gaming and internet access via a wireless inbuilt modem. The mp3 quality is the best I have ever known. You can store a massive 250 songs (on average) per gigabyte and can store hundreds of albums, but you can also store thousands of pictures and many movies, downloadable from Itunes and your own personal collection. All you need is the software to convert videos to a format accepted by the itouch. The video playback is like atching a personal DVD player. Also when watching videos, the unit can be turned on it...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

the apple of my "I"

Advantages: touch screen, lightweight, good battery life
Disadvantages: possibility of getting the screen or the shiny back scratched

...I purchased this product in November 2008, as a Christmas present for my fiancé. She had hinted at getting a new ipod, as her previous one was the 2 GB ipod nano from a few years back. I walked into the apple shop that had recently opened up in Belfast, surrounded by the whole apple range I looked at a couple different models from the new 8 GB nano to the ipod classic. But my eyes finally came to a halt upon the shiny surface of the 8 GB ipod touch. I knew instantly that this was the present that I was to buy her. So I went to the counter, the cashier asked me what I wanted and I placed my order, at which point he turned his back to me and started looking through some drawers, a few seconds later he turned around and handed me a very small rectangular box with curved edges. Hmmm, I thought to myself, it?s rather small? so I handed...

Apple iPad Wi-Fi 16gb

Advantages: HD screen, multi-touch facility
Disadvantages: Lack of iPhone apps converted to iPad size, quite pricy

...Being a fan of most products Apple have released, I was very intrigued when they announced the iPad - what is seen by most people as their answer to the netbook niche of the market. Having an old PowerBook laptop which is on it's last legs and is mostly used for web browsing, I decided to find out a bit more and kept up to date with it's development up until the pre-order date I arrived. I decided to go for the entry level 16gb WiFi only model at £429. It also comes in 32 & 64gb WiFi only and 16, 32 & 64gb WiFi + 3G which needs a separate contract with a mobile phone provider in order to use the 3G facility. As I was to mainly use the iPad either at home or at a relative's house, I didn't feel it was necessary to spend the extra money on the 3G option. On delivery (a whole day before the queues starting forming outside many Apple...

Review of Apple iPad Wi-Fi 16GB

Apple's best ipod yet!

Advantages: Massive range of cool apps and features avaliable
Disadvantages: Needs careful looking after to avoid damage

...I got my 8GB ipod touch for christmas and its been great every since day one! It came with a cool leather case to protect the beautiful shiny backplate that it has (so easily scratched its incredible!) It feels really nice in your hands and is just so easy and simple to use. It works using a touch screen system and only two main buttons. One for turning it on and off and one is the home button which is used to close appications and return to the homepage. One of the best features of the 2nd gen touch is the WIFI connection. I connected it to my homehub router in seconds and then was able to use apples pre-installed web browser safari, which i was very impressed by. Using the WIFI connection also allows you to check your e-mails from a variety of sources ( but sadly no hotmail link ) and access the itunes store and appstore like...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

iLove Apple!

Advantages: Superb touch screen, great calling/texting quality, huge memory capacity, built in iPod
Disadvantages: oor battery life, no huge differences from the 3G

...Introduction When it comes to technology, it?s safe to say that the smartphone is well and truly taking over the market; whether it?s a Sony Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung or a BlackBerry, they all claim to out-do the others in their own individual way. However, what?s strange is, all the aforementioned brands seem to be ?borrowing? aspects of another phone and including them in their own models - that phone is of course, the big Daddy of them all, the iPhone. Love it or hate it, it?s become nigh on impossible to avoid it, the iPhone has well and truly penetrated the market with their range of elegant, functional and stylish mobile phones and whether it?s the 3G, 3GS or the brand new iPhone 4 it?s impossible to deny this phones brilliance. Apple - I salute you. It?s safe to say that I have a decent amount of experience with Apple?s i...

Apple Ipod Touch 8Gb

Advantages: Slim, modern, eye catching, capable. Market leading
Disadvantages: Cost, limited memory for video.

...I have owned this since before Christmas 2008. The packaging was minimal and the design of the Apple Ipod touch 8Gb is breathtaking. Beautiful. The docking is identical to previous generations of Ipod so can be used with any of your previous connectivity and charging docking solutions. The great gui and human interface via the touch screen is innovative and market leading. However, finding your way about and updating via the Apple site takes a few moments to get your head around. Just take your time and enjoy the experience. There are speakers in the case so for occasional use you can listen without earphones. There is a mini jack for connection to systems that do not support the Ipod dock. Aftermarket accessories are available for this like cases and skins. I would recommend this to anyone. With Wi-Fi you can...
