Sony e reader

Advantages: lightweight
Disadvantages: not cheap

...**** Sony E Reader **** I really enjoy reading but somehow my suitcase always ends up really heavy so when i saw that my local Waterstones had some in stock i decided to purchase one.At 199 quid its not cheap but i felt i could easily spend that on buying the books alone. **What is it?** Basically it is an electronic device that you can store books on.The memory size you get with it holds up to 160 books but there is also slots for you to add extra memory if needed,not that you would need it. **Pros** One of the best things about this is that you do not have to carry loads of books around with you. Books are cheaper on the ereader than they are to buy normally and when you buy the ereader from Waterstones it comes with 100 classic books so if you are like me and would read these anyway the ereader pays for itself. It can...

Sony MDR-E 818 LP

Advantages: Cheap, so far reliable

sony vaio AR88E

Advantages: massive screen
Disadvantages: large.

...This laptop is the Sony VAIO AR88E. The laptop is made mainly for gaming, watching movies on and various other entertainment needs whilst not compromising the ability to do serious work on these as well. One thing that is compromised though is the portability, entertainment laptops are made to keep at home and not really to carry about with you all the time, so whilst the specification may look good, don?t expect one of these to be very portable. Its mainly black in colour however I like the design ho the screen top part comes over the bottom part of the laptop base slightly so that it gives a more cooler look to the laptop. The installed ram on this laptop is great, it has a massive 2gb which is the main reason this laptop runs so fast, also its intel core 2 duo T7700 which is one of the newest processors makes this laptop run so...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-AR88E

Is the Sony card really worth it?

Advantages: Good opening offer
Disadvantages: Need to spend a lot to earn points/ Send you credit card cheques

...The Sony Card is an American Express credit card from MBNA. It is basically a reward card earning you one Sony Pulse Beat for every pound you spend (triple points if you buy Sony products). The trick is to find a link where you are guaranteed points as soon as you sign up. If you go through Sony site you will only receive 4000 points but I got it through a link on moneysavingexpert (see earlier review) with 8200 points but this now seems to have been withdrawn. The basics are as follows but should be checked on the website 0% pa on balance transfers for 12 months (3% handling fee) 0% pa on card purchases for 3 months 15.9% APR (typical rate) No annual fee You can access your account on line and there are competitions and you can sign up to an enewsletter to receive exclusive offers and the latest product info. Here are...

Review of Sony Card

Get a sexy card and free Sony stuff too

Advantages: Free Pulse Beats, exclusive monthly competitions to win amazing prizes, efficient and friendly customer service
Disadvantages: APR could be more competitive

...The best thing with SonyCard is that you can save up PulseBeats (loyalty points) and get some free Sony stuff! Whether you want to save for a free CD or a DVD player, this is the credit card for you! You receive one PulseBeat per pound spent, so the more money you spend, the quicker you can get free Sony stuff. Also whenever you buy a Sony product you get triple PulseBeats. This is great if you buy a lot of TriStar Columbia DVDs, Playstation games, or Sony Music CDs, or even a widescreen Sony TV as you will receive a lot of PulseBeats quickly. There are also exclusive monthly "Dream Draws", where you have the chance to win 'money-can't-buy' holidays and Sony stuff like that cool robot dog AIBO. In the past they've offered trips to the Oscars ceremony and a VIP trip to the Monaco Grand Prix. They gave me 1300 free PulseBeats when my...

Review of Sony Handycam DCR HC51E

Goodd idea for sony fans..

Advantages: Loyalty scheme, special offers, special rates
Disadvantages: APR is higher than some others

...I admit, I got this card for the reason that. From the advertisement I saw online, it came with a free walkman, & I at that time needed one.... However, when the card arrived, I decided to keep it, and have yet to claim anything from the pulsebeats. Pulsebeats are Sonycard's loyalty scheme. You get 1 pulsebeat for every pound spent, and you receive a catalogue where you can send for different sonly products when you have collected enough points. These include CD's, DVD's, and Sony electronic equipment. Currently when you apply for a Sonycard, you receive 2000 pulsebeats, which will buy you a CD, for example Beyonce's Dangerously in love is 1600 pulsebeats. It's not the best loyalty scheme, as it is limited, but its nice getting something back for your spending. Most people will find something they like in the catalogue. You...

Sony DCR DVD201E Camcorder

Advantages: Widescreen mode
Disadvantages: slow access to dvd, no separate memory card slot

...its a little uncomfortable over a long period of use. The LCD display is nice and bright and you can swivel it around a full 180 degrees which is useful if you're trying to film yourself. Theres a remote control provided as well which helps. There is a 'night mode' facility where colours are enhanced in low light mode. I didn't really find this all that great so prefer to use lighting whenever possible but its better than nothing. There is a 1.1 megapixel still camera function which unfortunately records to the same mini-dvd as the video footage. Sony should have provided a separate memory card slot for this. Instead it means that when you take snaps you have to connect the camcorder using the usb cable to your computer instead of simply removing a memory card and sticking it into the appropriate memory card slot. Overall its...

Review of Sony Card

The Day The Sony E reader Changed My Life

Advantages: It is very useful and very simple to use and it looks and feels fantastic
Disadvantages: The screen isn't backlit, and the zoom only has three sizes

...I love the Sony E reader because since I found this gadget it has made life sitting on a bay for hours on end whle Im in my Lorry a pleasure and no longer a chore. I love the idea of the e reader by Sony, hundreds of books all in one place and all available with the push of a button. I have books all over the cab and they always get filthy and dog eared. I always lose my page when I have to put them down because the red light on the bay changes to green and they want their bay back. Another thing with a paper book is that if you take it into a waiting room , every one can see what your reading ( well the ones who can read anyway) and I'm a little shy about sharing my reading habits especially when I'm picking up the free books in the waiting room at Blacks In Northampton, ( at least I hope theyr'e free). The e reader looks and feels...
