GPS extraordinaire

Advantages: Very fast connection speeds
Disadvantages: None

...After purchasing a Pocket PC (HP hx4700) mainly for use as a calender assistant and portable web browsing device, I soon discovered that it could also be used as a portable Sat Nav device as well, allowing applications such as Tomtom to be uploaded onto it, and for those who are interested in light aircraft flying, like me, memory map is fantastic aviation GPS program which can be used on using actual CAA aviation maps with GPS data overlay for flight planning and tracking purposes. The one extra hardware add-on which is needed to allow tomtom and memory map to function is a GPS receiver device. I had previously purchased a Compact Flash card extension GPS receiver which plugged into the Pocket PC's existing ports directly, unfortunately, it was very poor at satellite tracking and position locking, taking several minutes to lock-on to...

Review of Holux M-1000 32 channel GPS receiver module

Excellent GPS package at great price

Advantages: Excellent sat-nav package at low price, well-spec'd handheld computer
Disadvantages: Advertising unclear: hidden costs of full European package

...When I decided too buy this product, I wasn't specifically looking for a handheld computer, I was after a decent (but inexpensive) GPS satellite navigation system; and the Acer n35 is not only the cheapest GPS-equipped handheld, it's actually cheaper than most dedicated sat-nav systems, so the fact that this device functions as a computer with numerous other facilities is a pure bonus! You can easily pay £400 for a dedicated portable sat-nav system like the Tom Tom Go, and similar amounts for sat-nav equipped handhelds, but the Acer can be had for as little as £240 brand new with full guarantee. You see already the main economic advantage, especially when you compare it to the four-figure sums that car manufacturers charge for built-in sat-nav systems.... The Acer n35 is basically the n30 without BlueTooth capability...

Gps 72 Handheld

Advantages: Lightweight and waterproof
Disadvantages: Wrist Strap

...I am a commercial fisherman who relies on both exact and dependability in a Gps navigation aid. The Garmin Gps 72 is a very dependable unit i use another brand on my boat while working and i have the gp 72 beside it and have found it to be a better unit allround, so i hear you all say, well this is why i mentioned my other unit, the other ones costs nearly £700 and is a fixed unit, with a smaller display. My gp 72 cost me £130 and is handheld and portable, also with the correct lead available from Garmin you can download and update data from your computer or laptop. I use mine for work when i am called out for the HM Coastguard Cliff Rescue Team that i am a member of and found it is very accurate and dependable. It has a clear display excellent features easy to use menus and functions, setup is easy as all you have to do is...

V For Vendetta - an intelligent graphic novel adaptation

Advantages: Strong story, good performances
Disadvantages: Not as action packed as some may want

...As always, I'll do my best to summarise V For Vendetta without including any spoilers but if I accidentally let something slip that you think might ruin it for another viewer, please leave a comment and I'll remove the offending information as soon as possible! PLOT: V For Vendetta is a 2005 film adaption of the graphic novel of the same name by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Set in 2034, the film focuses on Britain which has become a totalitarian dictatorship under the control of the Norsefire regime. Evey Hammond, a somewhat naïve employee of the British Television Network (BTN), runs into trouble when she is out past curfew and runs into some Finger men who are a sort of secret police for Norsefire. It becomes clear that these men are used to being above the law but they are in for a shock as Evey is rescued by a man in a Guy Fawkes...

Review of V for Vendetta

Iphone V Blackberry

Advantages: Similar in Tariff, Similar Qualities. Opposite spectrum
Disadvantages: Rivals, offer different things for different people lifestyles

...and less efficient. You have to open the Iphone email every time you need to check a new message. The Iphone doesn't synchronize properly i.e. contacts calendar whereas the Blackberry does. Which make the Iphone less reliable with information. The blackberry contains GPS and the Iphone doesn't, the iphone does not cut and paste properly and the Blackberry does. Loading time seems slow on the Iphone but safari browser seems more attractive. In my opinion looking at both phones the Blackberrys appearance is constantly getting more commercial and not just for the average corporate. I believe with the Blackberry you are getting a better quality of phone with alot of technology packed into one phone. No doubting the Apple Iphone has the sex appeal but am I really getting my moneys worth? The undesired prospect of getting rid...

Moto V3

Advantages: Slim, Stylish and elegant
Disadvantages: Speaker are not too good

...Motorola V3 was the first motorola phone i buy with my money, when it first launched at the year of 2003 (i guess) i was exhausted to buy it, but the price was very high at that time so i have to collect my money first, and in the end of 2005, after a quite long time of waiting, i finally bought it, the phone of my dream =) i like this phone because of its the thinnest phone at that time and especially the design was very impressive, fit in my pocket, easy to use, i can take a picture every time i want (cause my old phone doesn't have any camera) although its camera still VGA, on my point of view this phone is almost complete except for one thing, the speaker are not to good, especially when playing song or make a call. Here is the specification : * External dimensions: 13.9 x 55 x 98 millimeters * Weight: 95 grams...

Review of Motorola V3

My V3

Advantages: Easy to use and some nice features
Disadvantages: Battry life is not the best

...Over view I have had my V3 for 22 months now and it has been very reliable, it feels nice to hold and use and easy to fit in pocketswithout bulging. It is light and a nice colour (grey metal). The keyboard feels nice and is nicely illuminated when using. The display has a nice viewing area. I love my V3, it is still fashionable and up to date Keypad I love the keys on the V3 they are stylish and easy to use, your finger glides easily over them and easy to press the keys. The keys on the side of the phone often get pressed if the phone is in your pocket. Price I brought it as part of a deal, the phone was free and I got a free blue tooth ear peice which I vary rarely use - I was paying £20 per month for 6 months and now I pay £16 and get some free minutes and texts included. Battery The battery charges quite quickly...

V For Vendetta Synopsis

Advantages: Great storyline, talented actors & actresses
Disadvantages: None that I can imagine of

An adaption of a ten-issue comic-book series, V For Vendetta is about a mysterious rebel "V" situated in a near-future dystopian Britain, ruled by the totalitarian regime Norsefire. Besides "V", the other major character is that of Evey Hammond, a young woman who was rescued by "V" from state police who were going to rape her. The main plot involves "V" creating havoc in Britain, trying to increase awareness of the British public on the truth behind several recent accidents and events of the totalitarian government. "V" also manages to get revenge on several people who were responsible for the deadly experiments on inmates at Larkhill detention center.
