Armband that caters for both men and women

Advantages: Nice tight fit. Cable Capsule very useful for runners. Washable.
Disadvantages: Key holder is useless

...Currently not available in the UK, I bought mine from ebay which arrived today posted from the US. Belkin states that it is designed for the iPod Classic 80Gb and 160 Gb. However, my iPod is from the 4th generation (the first one capable of showing photos) and it manages to fit. The fabric behind the plastic screen is elastic which holds the iPod tight. There is a cable capsule which particularly useful for runners keeping the excess cable away. This is also detachable. There is also a slight pocket which allows you to store a key. I imagine that this was done for gym users to store their locker key. Don't expect to be able to store your house keys in there (unless you only have one key to your house). The strap is fully adjustable using a metal hook and loop system. Basically, a metal hook slides into one of those loops you can...

Review of Belkin Sport Armband Plus For iPod classic Arm pack MP3 Player

Avoid Drop Out, Or At Least Off

Advantages: Good case
Disadvantages: Terrible product, and poor after sales care

...I recently took up running, for about three days... And in order to keep me going I thought I might need to keep my music with me, trouble being the iPod being the delicate little beast it is does not want to sit happily in a pocket, it wants to come out and say hello to the world. I decided that the iPod Touch Sport Armband by Belkin would be a safe investment, the iPod being protected by a case and then secured to your arm by a wristband. Day one of running was fine, it was cold so I wore a longer length, I had music with me wherever I went. But day two told a different story, I secured the strap to my naked skin (well my arm at least). Having done so I ran quite happily for about 30 meters, the strap on the case dropped down my arm, about eight or nine inches to be precise. I pulled it up, it slipped down, I pulled it up...

Gymtastic armband

Advantages: Very comfortable
Disadvantages: Can look a little bulky

...My boyfriend bought me this as one of my Christmas presents so I could listen to my music in the gym without having to tuck my player into the band of my trousers! I was pleasantly surprised by the armband. I was initially a little worried that it would either slip down or cut off the circulation to my arm. The band adjusts by a velcro system and is elasticated so that using weights and flexing won't be hampered by the armband. The flexible skin is removable from the band. The player slips into the skin and the whole thing clips onto the band. So if you find that you want to remove the player but keep the band on then you can, which is a handy function if for example the headphone wire is getting in the way of what you're doing. I was very impressed so if you have the Mosaic and are a gym-goer or runner then this is for you!...

  Wii Resort For Island Sports

Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory
Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games

...INTRODUCTION Our Nintendo Wii has been hibernating under our TV, gathering dust since shortly after Christmas. The Wii party games made a brief appearance for the holidays and the shine of Wii Fit wore off after our New Year?s resolutions met with their usual success and longevity (i.e. none). It?s a fab console, but it?s very ease of ?pick up and play? makes it just as easy to ignore in favour of other pursuits. However, we were intrigued by the promise and novelty of the new Wii MotionPlus gadget, and when Wii Sports Resort (WSR) ? essentially Wii Sports 2 ? was announced, it was immediately added to our Wish List. As such, I was delighted when I received it for my birthday last week, and It has played a part in our nightly entertainment since. WHAT?S IN THE BOX WSR comes packaged with the game (in its own DVD...

Island of Sporting Desire

Advantages: Three or four really great sporting games
Disadvantages: The need to 'calibrate' Wii Remote

...Let the games Begin... As a game which came free with the Wii console, 'Wii Sports' had little to prove - a title designed to show off the ingenious controls of the new machine, which at times meant that it felt like a bit of a glorified tech-demo. The sequel 'Wii Sports Resort' is tied in with the release of MotionPlus - the little white box that plugs into the bottom of the Wii controller, offering much more accuracy and finesse of controls - but does the game make the most of the new technology, or is it a missed opportunity? Set on the tropical island of 'Wuhu', Sports Resort allows you to compete in twelve different sporting disciplines, each one designed to push your skill and co-ordination to the max. In this review, I'll take a look at each of the sports, whilst briefly explaining and summarising my feelings towards them...

Belkin Wireless USB adaptor

Advantages: Simple to set up and use
Disadvantages: Software is not the greatest

...I bought this USB network adaptor for my son when he still had his Windows 98 machine as the PCI card that I reviewed previously was too advanced for his hardware. This USB adapter was bought to connect to my Belkin wireless router meaning that I now had a wireless network consisting only of Belkin hardware. --Whats in the box-- On opening the box, there were no real surprises. There was the USB adapter, a stand which would allow you to place the adapter on your desk if you didnt want to have it plugged directly into the back of your PC, the antenna, a quick installation guide and a CD which contained the drivers and a full manual. --Installation-- On reading the quick installation guide, it was apparent that the software had to be installed before the adapter was plugged in. The reason for this was because, when the hardware...

Belkins' knee cushion!

Advantages: Relatively lightweight; makes using a laptop more comfortable
Disadvantages: Slightly pricey; bland colours

...Having bought a new Dell laptop nearly six months ago, I felt I also needed something to rest it on when I'm online and want to sit on the sofa or one of the armchairs and this cush-top looked ideal. It's made by Belkin, a reputable brand, and a household name in electronics accessories. It's fairly rigid and reminds me of the memory foam that's used in mattresses now. My one is grey on the outside although the inside (strangely called the pocket) which is where you thread through any cables, is a lime green, and not burnt orange as in the description given here. My laptop is 17 inches diagonally, and this cushtop fits it perfectly. It measures 25 centimetres in depth at the top and 32 centimetres at the bottom. The width is 29 centimetres at the top and 42 at the bottom. Belkin have tried to make this as ergonomic as...

Music on the go!

Advantages: Feels safe and secure
Disadvantages: A few design Flaws

...I bought this product for my new iPod nano as I work out and go running frequently. The armband is made of a smooth stretchy material not dissimilar to the material of a wet suit - neoprene - which is durable and waterproof so it can be used in the rain (not underwater). The iPod nano slides into an opening at the top and there is a small hole at the bottom so that your headphones can be plugged in. There is a second hole so that the 'lock' button can be toggled to prevent the controls on the iPod from accidentally being pressed. The holder for the iPod nano has a clear plastic front so that you can see the display and use the clicker wheel as normal. I have found some problems with this plastic front - once you get a little sweaty from running etc. the clicker wheel gets very difficult to use as your finger slips too easily...

Wii Sports Resort- Fun for the whole family

Advantages: fun forf whole family, lots of games, sensitive controls
Disadvantages: expensive extra devices needed for multi-player

...Since its release for retail purchase in 2006 the Nintendo Wii has enjoyed immense success. One of the key reasons for this is probably that it reaches a wider demographic than the majority of games consoles and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Wii sports resort, released as a kind of improvement on wii sports was released in july of this year, and is no exception, providing entertainment for people of all ages, and has the potential of being enjoyed by the whole family. Wii sports is set on a island beach resort, and allows the playing of a number of different games, either as a single player or for up to four players. The game requires an additional device in the form of wii motion plus, which is a more sophisticated sensing device than the regular wii remote, and is able to pick up more complicated and sensitive movements when...

Belting Belkin Router!

Advantages: Fairly easy to set up, easy to use, reliable, looks good.
Disadvantages: Bandwidth Innacurate.

...in the garden, then you shouldn't have any big connection issues (dropping connection etc) due to its proximity? unless you live in a big house with a big garden of course. You should check Belkins website to make sure this router will provide the coverage you need though as I wouldn't want to just assume it would for the purpose of this review. It also means that my dad can use my connection from his house next door if his net ever goes down (although he'd need me to give him the security password which I shall talk about below) as our network shows up on his laptop when he's reconnecting to his home network haha. This also reinforces the security aspect that I will address in a few moments as you don't know who else can pick up your network on a wireless search within your area! Setting up was relatively easy, connect all the wires...
