An unwinnable case?

Advantages: excellent gripping read
Disadvantages: none

...I am a great fan of courtroom dramas, which is one of the reasons why I enjoy John Grisham novels so much and I pretty much look on him as the master of this genre. Therefore, when I discover a book that claims that it's 'better than Grisham or your money back' I am bound to be interested. This was the claim made by the publishers of 'The Tenth Case' which meant that I found myself compelled to read it. I do think that Grisham at his best is pretty unbeatable although not all that he writes lives up to expectations. So could this book beat, or at least match, what Grisham does? Read on... At the start of the book, we meet Jaywalker, a defence lawyer, whose methods are somewhat unorthodox to say the least. In fact, he is in so much trouble that he is about to be barred from practicing law for three years. He is, however, permitted to...

Review of The Tenth Case - Joseph Teller

Archos 605 wifi

Advantages: Great size screen, generous amount of memory, simple interface
Disadvantages: Chunky design, not as portable as some devices,

...If you are an i-pod loyal looking for a new video device than look elsewhere, but for those seeking an alternative look no further. The Archos 605 provides a worthy alternative to the I-pod video, although it suffers from a less ergonomic design and is heavier due in part to the hard drive. However where it does better the ipod is it's durability with a rugged case and strong solid build quality feel to the buttons it will be hard to break. The large screen makes viewing a pleasure and the battery is capable, in my experience, of at least 5 hours solid video playback but i am yet to meet the claim of 17 hours music playback advertised with the unit averaging about 13-15 hours without recharge. The interface is simple and straight forward and should take a short period of time to familiarize yourself with. The memory is generous...

...CIAO Review on the Archos 105 - Colour: RED - 09/06/2008 Archos 105 2GB of Storage Available RRP date - 06/2007 - Archos Introduction - Archos started out in 1988; originally it was a company dealing with only digital media storage; as the digital market grew so did trends into new technologies, and Archos became a well-known brand within this market. This was a natural progression. Archos got into portable media players (PMP) and specialised in storage data for entertainment in audio and video.

Review of Archos 105

Archos 605 Wifi all round reveiw.

Advantages: Great screen quality and size, built in speaker and stand.
Disadvantages: The only downside is that it is fragile, and can be hard to get used to the on screen keyboard.

... "Archos 605 Wifi" This product is certainly an eye catching piece, when pulling this Archos out of your pocket in a social environment then you are sure to be asked questions about it. The first thing you may notice is the screen, it is a high resolution screen, 800x480 pixels, 4.3'' TFT LCD touch screen. It is an absolute crystal clear picture and watching movies or viewing pictures is so pleasing when you can see every last detail with out any blur or fuzziness.

It is also possible to buy a DVR Station from Archos or any technology shop or electrical retailer. This device allows you to record live TV be it Sky, Virgin media or terrestrial TV. You can then play the recorded items back on the TV through the DVR station...

The Archos 705 WIFI Media Player

Advantages: Touch screen, large memory, great screen resolution, wireless internet.
Disadvantages: Maximum volume could be better through the in-built speakers

...The Archos 705 WIFI is probably one of my favourite purchases of the last 18 months. For its fantastically wide range of features including a touch screen, wireless internet, hard drive video storage (recordings can be made directly from a tv), photo storage and a great music library, this is the best value for money Multi-media player I have come across. The Archos comes with lots of accessories including a car headrest mounting case which is great for when your trying to entertain the kids in the back of the car on long journeys. Its memory is around 40gb which is quite large for its size and allows you to store thousands of songs and around many hours of videos. The resolution is also extremely impressive....

vanguard Camera case

Advantages: cheap price, safe and durable, waterproof, and camera protective
Disadvantages: Made in china, available in black only.

...background to Vanguard until I started to write this review I had no idea who they were. I searched online and read a few reviews about the company. The company specialise in manufacturing Camera bags, Binoculars, Tripods and Cases for guns to name a few products. The companies customers include major Camera manufacturers. vanguard Camera Case for a Camera case it is a low priced entry level Camera Case used to hold, store and allow the user to move around with a Camera inside the Pouch. The Camera Case is black coloured throughout. The Case has the Vanguard's logo encased on the closing part of the Pouch. Also the material is polyester and I suppose that it is good that it is not made from leather as the leather in the summer weather reacts to the heat. This Camera Case also adheres to the international quality...

...The "Ipod Touch" is undoubtedly a brilliant machine if your interested in the various "apps" and games etc. it has to offer.

The Curious Case Of The Overlong Movie

Advantages: An enjoyable 60 minutes
Disadvantages: A very normal final 100 minutes.

...Since catching the trailer during mid 2008, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button became one of my personal must see movies. Initially expected to arrive on UK shores at Christmas the movie was delayed slightly for a February 2009 launch, this struck me as being quite odd because it certainly is one of those movies that on initial glimpses oozes Christmas cheer, under the direction of David Fincher (Alien 3, Zodiac, Se7en) this was bound to be a movie for the family to see. The big family hook of the movie is that for its lead character Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) he begins life at its end and moves backwards (or forwards if you wish) through to the state a normal person would be at birth. The product born of tragedy, Benjamin arrives in the world with elastic skin, severe arthritis, failure of several organs, and blindness. Unwanted...
