AIPTEK Hyper-V-Cam

Advantages: Great budget camera, very good picture quality for age/price.
Disadvantages: Not manufactured anymore. See review for details of others.

...at the front, also a little green LED which tells you when the camera is on...I did leave it on for a LONG time and it started flashing and went a little nuts, so maybe not a good idea to do this! The button on the top, (when all drivers and software is installed ) activates the quick start of the picture taking software so you don?t need to go through stupid start menus etc to get it going. The manual lens adjustment is for focusing purposes only and it can be annoying at times when you wish it was auto focusing, but this camera is so old now that it?s not even listed on the manufactures website! So if you don?t have the drivers, you will need to look around the web like I did of which the file name was ... " hypervcammobile-win98-xp-2000vs325.exe" In case you need them. CONNECTION: Leading out the back of the cam is...

Review of Aiptek - HyperVcam Fun

Tunatastic Value

Advantages: Flavour, Smells not overpowering, Price of course
Disadvantages: Not pull top tin opening

...I absolutely love tuna but I will admit that I am super fussy when it comes to buying it as a lot of them can be quite fishy tasting or way too dark in colour so imagine my surprise to find that my fave tuna happens to be tesco blue n white stripey value pack! The tuna comes in the usual kinda of small tuna tin, kinda like a quarter in height of a tin of beans or something similar. The annoying thing though is that these tins don't come with a ring pull lid so you actually have to hunt out the old tin opener, though saying that it also means you wont end up covered in tuna juise so to speak if its tough to get off! The tin itself has the usual blu and white tesco valus label on it, not the most exciting i'll admit but then its whats inside that counts in the end!! I like that fact that this tuna comes in brine, so when your done...

Tesco Value Gravy - Hit or Miss?

Advantages: VERY CHEAP! Ok for Temporary stand by -if really is no other.
Disadvantages: Bland-with strange after taste ..

...TESCO VALUE GRAVY I think it's quite likely that most people have a tub or packet of instant gravy or stock cubes etc lurking in the food cupboard somewhere. Perhaps in some homes only to make an appearance once or twice a week with the sunday roast or perhaps with a dinner such as Bangers and mash.. Well ..a couple of shops ago while picking my online order at tesco.com ,I had finished the shop all except going through check out when I remembered that I had run out of gravy during the week. So I thought i'd add some quick but seeing as I always shop to an exact budget and an average price for 200ml of instant gravy can be around 0.70p to just over £1.00 ,It was looking like I might have to take out one of my smaller items to free up some change for the gravy ... However as I am one of those who doesn't usually make gravy anymore...

Hyper Pen , do you need it

Advantages: Great for drawing in art programmes
Disadvantages: Handwriting recognition is slow

...I have owned an Aiptek HyperPen6000 for about 2 months now, and bought it online for the bargain price of £24.99 (including delivery). The Hyper Pen comprises a pressure sensitive pad, a cordless pen (which functions like a mouse) and mouse to use in conjunction with the pad, and various software packages. Installation was quick and easy, and the software provided (Corel Art dabler 2.1 and pensoft) is excellent. Art dabbler has excellent tutorials that I would recomend doing as the functions are not always clear, and there is much more to be gained from the programme than first appears obvious. You can still use your keyboard and normal mouse whilst having the hyper pen also active which I find useful as the mouse provided doesnt have a scroll wheel, and the pen is difficult to use for browsing and scrolling down pages...

Review of Aiptek Hyper Pen

Great value

Advantages: Cheap and effective
Disadvantages: None

...Tesco value toilet cleaner I often buy the Tesco value products because I find they usually (but not always) represent good value for money without a real compromise on quality although the packaging is very basic! Product and Packaging? Being one of the value products, the packaging is, as I expected, very basic. It comes in a white plastic 750ml bottle with the name of the product, instructions, warnings and information on the front and that's about it. No fancy pictures or unnecessary information. The screw off top has a child safety cap which means that it's almost impossible for children to open unless they have worked this out for themselves. The top screws back on quite easily and the child proof lock is instantly applied. There is a thin funnel type spout for easy pouring into the toilet bown and so that it can be...

Review of Tesco Value Toilet Cleaner

A value lemon squash.

Advantages: Good taste, recyclable bottle, good price, mixes well.
Disadvantages: It does taste cheap.

...Tesco Value Lemon is provided in a clear plastic bottle with a white screw lid and has a label with the familiar Tesco Value logo and the nutritional information as well as a logo advising that the product is now double concentrated so you only need to use half as much. I keep forgetting that these juices are double concentrated which means I normally end up with a really strong juice and find myself having a few sips and then adding some more water. The bottle is strong and dropping it or bashing it around on the way home from the supermarket shouldn't break it or make a hole at all. This is great if you have children who bash things around (such as my nieces and nephews!). To make this drink just pour some juice in to a glass and add water. I would recommend around 1 part juice to 8 parts water but I like my juice to be fairly strong...

Aiptek Hyper Pen

Advantages: Inexpensive, small, handy, useful
Disadvantages: some people might prefer a mouse

...I recently bought a Hyper Pen by Aiptek after my usual mouse died on me. I was sent a leaflet in the mail,and got the Hyper Pen opn a special offer - £34.99 including all the handwriting software, cordless mouse and some extra bonus software. The Hyper Pen is a very useful gadget. you can use the pen as a usual mouse, or you can use it as a writing pen, where word will convert the writing to text. It does take a little while to get used to the pen as opposed to the mouse, but it's advantages far outweighs any bad points. You can set up 12 'shortcuts' on the pad (labelled F1 to F12), and when you touch them with the pen your selected program will open. For example, I have set F1 to open Word, F2 to open Excel, and so on. Another useful feature is that it has a transparent flap which you can lift up, and place a picture (or...

Tesco Value Strawberry Cheesecake

Advantages: Delicious!
Disadvantages: None!

...Who says Tesco Value food isn't up to scratch? Well on the contrary my dear Watson...here's a small dessert that is second to none - their individual strawberry cheesecake. Found in the yoghurts section of your local Tesco, these 100 gram pots cost around the 40p mark. They may not look the most appealing of desserts - in a clear plastic pot with a foil lid with the words Tesco Value inscribed on it. Hardly a great advertisment, but fear not, once you try them then you'll keep going back for more. The strawberry topping is absolutely delicious - sweet, thick and tastes like genuine strawberries rather than some artifical nonsense. The base is a little bit soft compared to a first-class cheesecake base, but remember, you're eating Tesco Value here so there can be no qualms about it's quality in comparison with the price...

Review of Tesco Value Strawberry Cheesecake

Tesco Value Tinned Chopped Tomatoes

Advantages: A basic stock cupboard accessory
Disadvantages: Nothing more!

...Ah, a stock cupboard essential...aside the baked beans and tinned peas, here's the good old Tesco Value Chopped Tomatoes. Nuff said. Priced in the shop at 39p for a 400 gram tin...that's about 6p more than the peeled plum variety, chopped tomatoes are a staple of numerous foods - obvious ones such as bolognese and chilli, and despite their extremely cheap price, they are one of the most important parts of the meal. Naturally, there are more expensive varieties out there. Even other Tesco own brand ones cost more - some include hints of garlic or basil, for a mere couple of pence more which may be ideal if you only want one can and don't want to both a 'bunch' or 'clove' or whatever these additions come in! The ingredients are as followed (there's not many!)... Tomatoes (60%), Tomato Juice, Citric Acid. Done! As you...

Review of Tesco Value Tinned Chopped Tomatoes

Tesco Value Worth A Try!!

Advantages: Cheap And Cheerful
Disadvantages: None

...I seem to go through biscuits at a rate of noughts in my household. I recently discovered the value range of products from Tesco and I have to say I am extremely surprised at how good and vast the range is and how much money I have saved over the last few weeks and months by switching from my usual branded items. The value selection has products which look similar to their more expensive counterparts however they can often be up to a third cheaper or even as much as half price less. In all honesty my son doesn't really notice the difference so I will continue buying these items. The product that I will review now is Tesco Value Jaffa Cakes. These Jaffa cakes come in a box containing 24 cakes. They are around 56p and I have to say are a good alternative to the original Mcvities range which are considerably more expensive...
