Miracle pen!

Advantages: Uses light reflective technology rather than just covering, high quality, it works!
Disadvantages: Price, they test on animals :(

...an equivalent (or better!) highlighter from a cruelty-free company. When Touche Eclat first emerged it was revolutionary, but to be honest now there are so many other light reflecting pens on offer that finding a suitable and cheaper replacement shouldn?t be hard....

An everyday stick pen

Advantages: seems to write well
Disadvantages: none

...I had to write a note today and I used a Steadtler 430m. stick pen. Looking through my stationary drawer and discovered several staedtler stick pens. Steadtler 430 m stick pens are available in Blue, red, black and green ink. These pens are as you can see from the picture have a clear plastic shaft/barrel , This is 13cm long, just less than a cm in diameter. The shaft is a hexagon with 6 straight sides this is good as it mean the pen does not easily roll of the table. You can see the ink through the plastic, its not easy to distinguish the colour from a full pen though.. At one end of the pen is a coloured stopper at the other a strong metal ball point nib. There is a plastic lid which has a clip on it so you can clip it onto the edge of your paper or jacket pocket. This lid is coloured to match the ink. This lid is also...

Bose SoundDock Digital Music System Review

Advantages: Superb Sound, Very Loud, Ideal for Ipods
Disadvantages: not go to travel with, Extremely Expensive

...Bose SoundDock Digital Music System I happened to get this as a gift and it turned out to be quiet interesting Summary: This dock is used mainly for ipod and allows you to connet mp3 players to it and listen to high quality music via speakers. It is idle for homes and small gatherings, although I would not run a party off these. Pros: This system has terrific sound and can go very load despite its relative small size. As with almost all Bose speakers the quality is amazing, so long as the source you are playing it from is high quality it will allow the speakers to each its potential. I have a surround sound Bose set up in one of my rooms but now prefer to use this product as it is very simple to operate. Just plug the mp3 player in and press play and your set. Can't get much simpler. It also runs off a wall...

Natural Pen Input Device

Advantages: Good value. Precise. Comfortable. Natural to Use.
Disadvantages: Possibly hard to get a hold of.

...I was looking for a pen device to allow me to produce computer graphics without using a mouse. I found the Digital Edge Natural Pen to be an excellent buy. I bought one from Comet for £40 (BEWARE). Unfortunately, this was old stock, and I believe Comet to have several of the old items around. The drivers were not on the CD!! and the downloads from Digital Edge did not work. So I ordered the latest one from Action. The new style one has a "tracing sheet", and function keys along the top. The pen installs very easily (under Win98), connecting to the keyboard and mouse ports, with the splitter supplied. In operation, the pen is excellent, and allows you to effect very fine control. I used to use it as a mouse too, but have recently returned to the rodent actually. The software supplied is ok, but I am not using any of it. I...

Review of Digital Edge - Natural Pen

The Start of The Digital Era...

Advantages: Great Value, Good Features, Fantastic Quality Sound
Disadvantages: Silly Placement of the Mains Plug At The Back

...I have always been a fan of the radio and although I have quite specific music tastes, I enjoy having the variety and general natter of a radio on in the background, especially to reduce boredom or to make a place seem a little more alive when your home alone. The Pure One Digital DAB Radio is the first and only DAB radio I have owned, you?ve got to move with the times right? I had been thinking about purchasing one for a while after hearing good things about this little radio and have now been enjoying it for about 6 months. The Pure One comes in a choice of 3 colours; black, pink and white. I would have loved to have brought the pink one as it?s a cute pastel colour, but opted for the funky and modern white, mainly due to the fact I was planning on using the radio in my office and most of my colleagues already think I?m a bit OTT...

Review of Pure Digital ONE Classic

Write with this stick pen

Advantages: Good for writing that homework
Disadvantages: none

...Its amazing the variety of simple stick pens I have in my stationary draw next to my computer. When tidying up the other day I came across some Papermate stick 2020 pens. This ball point pen is available in red, blue, black and green, they are available in either a fine or medium nib. The fine one giving a line 0.3 mm width, the medium line 0.4 mm width. These pens have an outer casing of the same colour as the ink inside you can not see how much ink is left through the pen. The lid which has a moulded clip to hook the pen on a paper or onto your jacket pocket is the same colour. These pens measure 14.1/2 cm. The barrel of these pens is circular and they easily roll onto the floor of your desk. The colour of the ink is a good bold colour. They write well. I have used many. The pen is easy enough to hold and use, rolls...

Berol Handwriting Pen and Childhood Memories!

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...I am now nearly 18 years old and I first picked up this model of pen was I about 7 years old. I remember the pride when I was given the handwriting pen by my primary school teacher- those who demonstrated good hand writing would be awarded a pen at the end of term and allowed to write with this for work instead of just a standard pencil. And to this day I have one in my pencil case- obviously not the original.. but they do last a fairly long time and don't tend to dry out unless you leave the cap off constantly. They are washable ink which means that you can get it off clothes (which I still manage to mess now...) and off your fingers if you have a strange writing style like mine! They are fairly cheap as I remember- usually they come in sets of 2 which are about £2 so a quid each for these durable pens really isn't bad. (I know that...

Review of Berol Handwriting Pens Dark Blue

worth paying extra for a decent pen

Advantages: smooth writing and even ink flow
Disadvantages: more expensive than your average pen

...Whilst I may scrimp on cosmetics I also like to spend a little bit more on things which are worth paying for. In my profession I am required to take notes and given that I use a pen on a regular basis I feel that I should invest in a decent pen. Parker pens have been around for years and I have found them to be of good quality, reliable and extremely comfortable to write with. I have a fountain pen (which admittedly I do not use much), this jotter pen and the matching pencil and the ball point pen. I find that parker pens are more smoother to write with than cheap pens and the ink flows much better and I have never had the experience of a leaky pen. Parker pens last much longer than your average BIC pen and refills are available from all good stationers and are reasonably priced. Also, I find that I am less likely to lose my...

Review of Parker Jotter Special Ball Pen

Canon IXUS 95 IS: The best amateur digital camera on the market

Advantages: Very high quality pictures for both print and web work.
Disadvantages: The bundled software that comes with it has a very Fisherprice feel about it.

...After reading many reviews on Amazon and amateur camera sites about the different types of hobbyist level digital cameras, I decided to buy one of these. The camera itself has a metal casing and so has a sleek feel and look to it. It's very light weight and compact making it very easy to carry around in a handbag or while, (and most importantly) taking pictures! I found that it took only 5 - 10 minutes to get the camera working from out of the box. It was so simple, I didn't take that much notice of the manual. When starting up the camera, it isn't slow like they digital cameras of yesteryear. Its ability to capture anything in an instant is one of it's many advantages. The photos it and you produce are very high quality, as I found out the other day when I had some printed off at home. The only downside is the bundled software...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS

A Gimmicky Pen

Advantages: None once the initial gimmick wore off
Disadvantages: Fails frequently to select the correct function

...I had already purchased some spare styli for my PDA, whilst in Maplins I noticed a pen for £9.99 which had a red and black biro a mechanical pencil and a stylus all in the one package. I did think that £10 was a bit much, but was feeling flush so I purchased the Belkin 4 in 1 pen. The sleek silver shaft which split in two to refill was nice and shiny. The bottom portion of the pen was of a black plastic nature and the tip once again being silver did add a little style to the overall look of the pen which to be fair did look quite good. It seemed pretty much like a normal multi-colour except for one knacky little feature. On the top of the pen on the outside there were 4 symbols one for each of the functions. To operate you turn the pen until the option you want is displayed then press the button on the top as normal and the function...
