Advantages: Cheap, good sound Disadvantages: reliability
...Hello, Welcome to my review.
I had these speakers included with my lovely hp computer which I purchased back in 2005.
These speakers came in a rather blank box, with HP written on it, they came nicely packed with a lovely and very easy to use instruction booklet. They looked very professional and they are a nice grey/silver colour with a tint of blue, you plug these into the back of your monitor and they run off the monitors power input which is very useful, they do not have a power cable themself because they use the monitors cable for power, meaning theres a saving of plugs when it comes to your two point plug way!
The speakers are prevented in dark blue plastic, with a silver/grey with "Hewlett-Packard" on the front, with the soft cotton above covering the speakers themself, tinted at the top with a silver/grey strip.
These...
Advantages: Make good use of the EEE PC Disadvantages: Safe mounting for car
...I am using the Asus EEE PC 701 with Windows XP installed for the OBDC on my 2002, 3 series BMW, and to maximise the EEE I wanted onboard navigator.
The GPS receiver is GLOBALSAT BU353 SIRFSTAR III USB GPS RECEIVER, bundle with PC Navigator 8 from Easydevices.co.uk
The receiver has its own software (GPSinfo) and after installation the receiver plugged in to the USB port, and soon found the available satallites displayed on the GPSinfo software.
Next I installed the PC Navigator 8 software. I was please to find the package easy to use, and was soon on the road testing the setup, which worked seamlessly. All the software and hardware are all very capable. The large 7 inch display of the EEE is more than adequate.
Only caution I might say , is check the route planned for you by PC Navigator as it will take to shortist route it can find...
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...
Advantages: Looks stylish and produces excellent quality sound Disadvantages: Price
...If you have a pc or laptop and are interested in music, you've probably got some computer speakers. Well I brought a desktop pc and I managed to break the speakers so had to purchase some more.
I can't surf the Internet or write reviews unless I'm listening to music or the radio. That?s the great thing about pc's and the Internet is that you can listen to any radio station in the whole wide world!
Or you put all your cd collection on to your hard drive and use your pc as your hi fi.
Well, these speakers look the part for starters. The two side speakers look like champagne glasses hence the name, very sleek and ultra modern style unlike the normal box shape speakers. They don't look like computer speakers, as they are black in colour. Most of the computerspeakers are either beige or a grey colour.
You also get a super...
Advantages: Great value for the money. Disadvantages: No wireless connection
...'s no way to make it work without it, except plugging the external antenna.
The speaker sound is pretty strong, but not top quality. The sound is a bit "metallic", and not very good for music, but voice reproduction is loud and clear enough. Same for the mic: great for voice messages, but not for music recording. (anyone uses PDAs for music recording?) : )
The processor is a Samsung 266Mhz, and can handle most software pretty well... Only with the last games for PocketPC you can think you need a faster processor.
The USB port is a 1.1, so don't expect high data transfer rates. In fact, the upload speed to the memory card is quite slow (about 4-5 minutes for 110 MB), son if you have a card reader/writer in your PC you'll be using it usually.
The battery last quite a lot. About one or two days of normal use. Using the GPS...

Review of Acer N35 GPS
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...

Review of Garmin GPS 72
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) GPSsatellite 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...

Review of Acer N35 GPS
Advantages: A PDA and sat nav system in one Disadvantages: Looks cheap and tacky
...superior - it is acceptable for my requirements.
The Mitac 168 combines a PDA with a sat nav. system. And whilst the PDA is of inferior quality the Sat Nav element of the Mitac is most definitely not. It is on par with stand alone GPS units such as Navman, Tomtom etc.
The Mitac has a built in GPS receiver. If any of the readers of this review have ever had to sync an external GPS receiver to a PDA then they will appreciate what an excellent feature this is. I used to have a Toshiba PDA and separate GPS receiver. I never got the two linked up properly and experienced so many problems, including lost signals, no satelites showing etc etc. the list is endless.
In turning on the Mitac and pulling out the GPS receiver satelites are found within about 30 seconds - this is just as quick and efficient as my father's Tomtom.
The Mitac uses...
Advantages: Good Route Planner, Cheap in Price Disadvantages: Does not inform Instructions after wrong turn, Informs of turnings too late.
...different from the thousands of other route planners availiable on the internet for free.
Another problem i found with the system was that the alerts that tell you when to turn to not tell you as near to the turnings as they should. This especially becomes a problem on motorways.
CONCLUSIONS?
Instead of buying this system i would save up a little more perhaps for a TOMTOM GPS. I have had no problems with these systems in the past and i feel i wasted my money buying this 'alternative' to a GPS.

Advantages: Easy to use on a PC Disadvantages: Needs a GPS receiver
...PC Navigator 8 with UK, Ireland and Europe maps. I highly recommend this product. Easy to install and use. Simple user menu's, Find and Navigate, Address, Postcode or Places of Interest, help to find your way to your destinations. Also has Speed camera locations which will need updating from time to time. Voice assistant is pleasent to listen to.
I have this installed on my EEE PC (701 Windows) coupled with a GPS receiver (USB). Works seamlessly.
I would like the speed camera feature to warn me of up coming cameras, it changes from white (no cameras) to amber (Camera detected 500 yds) and red with an alarm when you pass the camera. Maybe I need to check the setting again to see if I have set this feature up correctly.
Because I am using the EE PC I needed to find a suitable mounting for the PC, and I tested the available mounts...
