Advantages: Quick, cheap and convienient
Disadvantages: The apple is a bit runny and lacks much flavour

...I occasionally buy Mr Kipling apple pie and they are okay for convienence as you can heat them in the microwave but not as good as home made. * PACKAGING, COST AND APPEARANCE * Mr Kipling apple pies are packaged in 3 high two pies on each stack in stay fresh plastic see through containers and covered with an outer red cardboard wrapper saying Mr Kipling apple pies. They are sold in 6 packs. The pie itself looks very ordinary like any other apple pie with a grren foil pastry case. They cost typically £1.50 for 6 at your local supermarkets. * TASTE * Mr Kipling apple pies the pastry taste sweet, light and buttery and the inner apple sauce tastes a little too sweet, a bit soapy and watery. Therefore not much apple taste. They each can be heated in the microwave took out of their foil case on a plate for 15 seconds per pie and four... Read review

Advantages: healthy and tasty
Disadvantages: none

...Apples juicy, crisp tasty apples. Red apples Green apples. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Let me tell you what inspired me to write this pop on Apples. I was watching out of my kitchen window and I saw a beautiful blackbird having a feast on the apple I had thrown onto the lawn. It had gone a bit old and wrinkled in the fruit bowl past its best no one wanted to eat it so I threw it onto the lawn, as I know that the birds will eat it as a winter feast. I often keep my old apple cores and apples that no one will eat for the birds. Blackbirds are the main birds that eat the apples all the thrush family eat apples and I have seen starlings eating then if they are hungry. Anyway they were my inspiration The birds do not seem to be fussy about which apples they eat red green, cookers, and eaters, crispy, soft. What sort of apple do... Read review

Advantages: Widescreen display
Disadvantages: Could be a little cheaper

...Well what can I say, a perfect display from a top notch company. Expect nothing less than perfect with Apple products. I used to be a huge PC fan but with the Intel chips and great designs of the Macs these days i'm really into my Apple products these days. As a Systems Administrator at a large design firm, I have recommended these products over another alternative (Formac for instance) ok so the Apple display costs quite a bit extra, but it's money well spent. The Formacs display quality cannot even begin to compare with the Apple display. The resolution is great and as with all LCD screens, the refresh rate is best viewed at 60hz for optimum performance. These will soon be replacing all of our CRT LaCie monitors as they're nowhere near as bulky/heavy and offer even better quality.... Read review

Advantages: Very Refreshing
Disadvantages: It Isn't Appleteise

...Now, we all remember the 'You Know When You've Been Tagoed' adverts from the 90's but they were only for Orange Tango. I'm not much of a fan of apple drinks or apples in general but Apple Tango is nice. I recently brought a 330ml can from the local bakers, while I was getting my lunch for 50p. The can is black in colour with a big green apple on the front and drips pertruding outwards from the apple itself. In the center of the apple in black writing is 'Tango Apple' on the front of the can. I think the labelling design looks great and very modern. Upon openning the can you instantly get the aroma of apple and although I'm not a fan of apples I do love that incredibly sweet smell of freshly crushed apples which is the only way I can describe it. As I drunk from the can I got the usual fizzy sensation that you get with most other fizzy... Read review

Advantages: A lot of facts
Disadvantages: Not much on the recent workings of the Apple camps

...A well written tale of Apple's trouble that's even entertaining in parts. It accounts the rise and fall of this innovative company and how the Microsoft wonder Bill Gates kicked them to the curb. Contrary to popular belief, it was Apple that developed all of the interface we see today and NOT Microsoft - the point and click scheme, icons, GUI, the lot! Even though it was Apple that made the breakthroughs, IBM and Microsoft capitalised on them. This book even contemplates wheher Apple is too far ahead of today's technology and that is why they are failing to hold their market. A definite good read that will interest almost anyone....

Advantages: Tastes as pure as an apple itself
Disadvantages: A bit too costly to buy in large quantities

...I commend Copella I have tried many apple fruit juices over the years and when I saw Copella on the Tesco supermarket shelf I decided to give it a try. I feel it is one of the best fruit juice choices I ever made. I have found it has a very pleasant apple taste as pure as an apple itself, a very pleasant light green colour and is very smooth on the palette and not too sweet. It makes a great pure drink at any time of the day. I have found that it has great cooking uses too, especially in one of my favourite soups, Cream of celery and apple. It does not have a horrid brown colour like the commercially produced apple juices or concentrated juices. It is totally sugar free, not made from concentrate. 100% pure apples crushed and juiced. For those consumers out there seeking pure apple juice I highly recommend this as it's taste... Read review

Advantages: suitable for designated drivers
Disadvantages: costs more than half a lager

...…..Melon balls actually. J2O, Britvic's new soft drink Apple and Melon, is a wonderful drink and not too expensive - as most soft drinks are. Britvic's new soft drink J2O comes in 5 flavours: - Apple & Melon; Apple & Mango; Orange & Cranberries; Orange & Passionfruit, and Apple and Raspberry Each bottle costs about £1.09 (Wetherspoon outlets) and contains 275 ml and all are alcohol free. However, there the similarities seem to end, as each juice drink has different quantities of juices and all have very individual tastes. The Apple & Melon drink has 45% apple juice and only 5% melon juice, yet the melon tantalises the taste buds and can clearly be distinguished. To be honest, I thought that the percentage of juices was the other way round, as I could taste the melon so clearly. The Apple & Melon drink is rather tart with a bit... Read review

Advantages: Delicious, moreish, scrumptious...
Disadvantages: A wee bit pricey...

...As a poor university student, once in a while I feel I have to treat myself to Copella apple juice - it is sheer luxury! Copella Apple Juice seriously is delicious. Its "pure pressed" and a cloudy yellow/green colour. Its thick and actually tastes like it has apples in it!!! Not only does the juice taste delicious, but you know its really good for you and gives you a vitamin C boost. Its such a change to drink something really nice and for it to be good for you. Although the juice is sweet, it is not artificially sweet like many other juices on the market, it retains a very slight tangy quality and is very refreshing and definitely moreish! Buy a one litre bottle of the stuff and I guarantee it will be finished in no time at all. The downside to this juice is the price - £1.69 in my local Tesco. But to be honest even though I am...

Advantages: Small but powerful, its a great starter apple,
Disadvantages: Limited scope for upgrade,

...My friends always said to me that I should get an apple computer, but stubbornly I always resisted as I thought I should stick to what I know. That was until I used an apple mac. This mini core duo is an inexpensive way to get onto the apple ladder, and you wont be disappointed. Straight out of the box, it looks very stylish and would compliment any home cinema or music system. For such a small unit, the apple packs quite a punch, with ports such as USB and ethernet, wi-fi and bluetooth, as well as a remote control, the apple wont leave you wanting. Whats more, one of the most positive things about apples is that most of the inside is made by apple, unlike in PC's where everything is thrown together and hoped that it works. Apple seems to just work like a PC doesn't. It's not perfect though. The sheer size of it means... Read review

Advantages: Screen is tough.
Disadvantages: Limited memory

...The Issue There is a big issue that the new Ipod which Apple has recently released has had one or two problems. One being the way in which it scratches easily and the other in the way its screens crack easily. I will be summing up the argument on both sides, including my own opinion. The Nano came out early in September and since then there has been a number of complaints. People have taken it to court saying that they should get a refund for the damage they inflicted on it. Apple has so far won the case that has been put against them. The New Nano is basically a smaller version of the original. It is still as powerful but cuter looking with a grater look as the older models. The Consumer Argument Consumers have come together and found loads of complaints about the new credit card sized Ipod Nano. The consumers have taken Apple... Read review
