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...

Review of Bose SoundDock Digital Music System

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

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

Here Beginneth My Digital Radio Revolution

Advantages: Small-form and easy operation
Disadvantages: Mains only unless you purchase the expensive battery pack

...***NOTE: I apologise with the formatting of this review, it just won't work. I hope it doesn't cause you problems while reading. *** Well folks it is time for the digital radio revolution. Aah, who am I kidding? I am getting into Digital Radio very late compared to when it first became available in the 1990s. I had an 18-year old twin cassette/radio player and was happy enough with the retro look and function of it, until it was finally sent to radio heaven by my builders last year. So new (almost) house and I need a radio for the kitchen. Inexplicably there is now so much variety with radios that you need a bit of help to understand the choices. ~~~ WHAT IS DAB? ~~~ DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting, a digital radio technology for radio stations. Over the years I have heard a number of great things about...

Review of Pure Digital ONE MINI

A brilliant way to display your digital snaps.

Advantages: Crisp excellent colour. Brilliant way to show off your snaps. A great feature
Disadvantages: No battery facility.

...also an option on how you wish to display the images. They can either be static and manually moved between through the buttons on the frame or using the remote control. I prefer to use the slideshow feature which allows all of my photos to rotate every few seconds. Some people find this distracting and I guess it is down to personal taste. I like to see all of my pictures with minimum fuss so the slideshow works well for me. You can also choose to have a clock and calendar feature as part of the frame. You may choose to have a split screen with the photo and the time, or have the clock appear instead of a photograph as part of the slideshow. The opportunities are endless! In conclusion The frame fulfils its needs. It is a high quality digital photo frame that displays photos to a high standard. It is also a brilliant addition to your...

Digital phones are not for me

Advantages: Good speech clarity
Disadvantages: No names in phone book

...After less than 2 months, my new Cable and Wireless digital telephone has developed a problem. I can no longer hear what callers are saying. This is most annoying, and I am beginning to think that digital cordless phones are not for me. I will be taking it back tomorrow to try and get a refund. Can anyone recommend an alternative? As I explained in my original op, I purchased the Cable and Wireless CWD2700 phone in May as a replacement for a Philips Onis digital answerphone which started to develop problems. I had had this for only 2 years, so was reluctant to buy another digital phone, but was tempted by the compactness of the phone. I was attracted to the Cable and Wireless phone because it had many useful features, and is a small, neat piece of equiptment. The telephone was very easy to set up, and comes with an easy...

Review of Cable & Wireless Cordless Digital Answermachine

Bob on the Phone For You!

Advantages: Fun and learning
Disadvantages: short cord

...Vtech - Bob The Builder Play Phone?.. This was yet another one of Jack's presents from Christmas this year and yet again one that truly is a good one. Jack's uncle gave this to him but I think if we had paid for it ourselves we would have spent around £15 as this is the standard price at most places I have seen it. The toy is basically a talking play telephone that has three different modes of play. These are: Can you learn it? Can you learn it? and Can you find it? The telephone has lovely large chunky buttons that light up when pressed or when the telephone calls them out. There is a yellow telephone receiver that can be picked up and replaced quite easily. The only downside with the receiver it that the cord is such a short length that it is impossible to have the toy on the floor and to lift the receiver to the ear. I...

Review of VTech Bob's Talking Telephone

Meet Charlie the Chatter Phone

Advantages: Loads Of Play Value
Disadvantages: None

...Meet Charlie the Chatter Phone~Fisher price Pull along Chatter Phone I think most of us remember or owned a Fisher Price chatter phone when we were younger. I loved mine and I decided this would be really good for the role play corner as well as being a great baby toy so bought one for my setting online at Amazon. ~The Look~ Charlie the chatter phone is made of plastic and he has four red wheels and a blue base his upper body is white and he has a turn able rainbow dial with numbers 0-9 on it these make a ringing sound when you turn the dial , just like the old phones did. Charlie has a really friendly smiling face and his eyes move up and down when you pull him along by his string. The cord is blue and short on the handset but this is for safety to stop a small child getting it tangled round their neck. ~Play Value...

Review of Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone

Essexgirl Does Digital

Advantages: Comparative value for money, easy to use
Disadvantages: Heavy, not as attractive as other models, no alarm function

...WHAT IS DAB? DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting and it is basically a way to hear more radio stations and to hear them interference free, without hiss and crackle. How good you hear it depends on the number of transmitters in your area and currently only 85% of the population are covered. You also don't have a fiddly dial to twiddle to try and find the right frequency, you select a station by name by pressing a few buttons and it finds it automatically for you. WHY DO I WANT ONE? I had been dithering in the purchase of a digital radio for some time. My ex had one that was permanently tuned to TalkSport in the kitchen. If I wanted to listen to something else I need to use the stereo FM radio and fiddle with the aerial which would only grant me reception if I held it in the air whilst balancing on my left leg...

Review of Pure Digital ELAN

Digital Vinci Code?

Advantages: Nicely structured storyline, compelling narrative, at times very exciting, thoroughly gripping
Disadvantages: Lead characters perhaps a little bland, not quite as good as The Da Vinci Code, some may be disinterested by the technical-talk

...In a remarkably short period of time, Dan Brown has emerged as one of the biggest and most-promising authors in the modern popular-fiction bracket. His Christian-bating best-seller The Da Vinci Code recently topped 7,500,000 sales worldwide and such is the weight of its popularity, it has managed to drag all of Brown?s previous novels (Digital Fortress among them) to the upper echelons of the sales charts. The Da Vinci Code may not have been perfect, but as a cryptic thriller it was, for the most part, eminently readable and very enjoyable. Digital Fortress, published five years earlier in 1998, was next on my reading list and it seems little attempt has been made to disguise the fact that it is riding high on the success of another book ? somewhat bizarrely, the back cover is plastered with praise for The Da Vinci Code, and not...
