The little computer

Advantages: sensitive touch screen display, volume buttons and built in speakers
Disadvantages: none

...I received this item about half a year back - never gets boring. This is like a computer in your pocket...but more. The 2nd gen has the app store app on it, meaning wherever there's wifi there's apps waiting. The great thing is that alot of the apps are free and rather useful ranging from games and utilities to entertainment and lifestyle.theres also a little youtube app on there so you can watch your videos and others when you are connected to wifi. The new sleek contoured design is alot more attractive than the first ipod not mentioning the volume buttons are great along with the new built in speakers. I find it helps alot when wanting to show friends new songs and things. i wouldn't really advise you use the speakers for music as they are not that loud mostly designed for apps and other quieter things like that. The touch screen is...

iTouch

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: Nono

..., therefore i'm glad i didn't upgarde to the larger memory, i think it would have been a waste! I am personnally most astounded by how functional the iTouch is, i did not realise half of what it did, and i most certainly didn't think that it would be like a hand held laptop, the only thing this thing is missing is a phone...and guess what Apple have for that...the iPhone. The screen on the iTouch is so perfectly clear that we tested is by having a look on google Earth and it was almost better than the computer I am typing on! Obviously i wouldn't recommend writing a ten page email on the iTouch, i thibnk this would be impossible and take hours, the machine is totally touch screen. But it does exactly what it is made for and it suprised me on so many levels. One piece of advice, which is pretty obvious, i think this is best kept at home...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

Ancient by phone standards, but I still use it!

Advantages: Small, robust, easy to use, nice screen, Microsoft Smartphone suprisingly good!
Disadvantages: Quite dated, but still a smartphone.

...It seems there are many people out there who are always looking for a new phone, you might even have several 'old' ones lying around in your own home! The truth is I've had this one for nearly 3 years and it still works for me. It was over £300 when it came out, £100 when I brought it and god knows how cheap now. It has a nice large screen which is very easy to see and plays videos well. The buttons feel good and are well placed, if a tad cramped. It has a camera, but its not good enough to be any use to me to be honest. Its nice and compact even by today's standards, a good pocket size. Microsoft Smartphone 2003 is dated but includes lots of features and is very easy to use. You can plug it into your PC via USB and fill it with pictures music and games, videos and software, and has a headphone socket and a speaker to listen to it all...

Review of I-Mate SP3

Cheap cadence computer

Advantages: Has a cadence sensor, good for turbo training
Disadvantages: Wired, small screen, not waterproof, useless for outdoor use

...Despite its name the Trek Incite 11i computer has just ten functions, which include current speed, an odometer, trip distance, elapsed time, 12/24 hour clock, average speed, pacer, maximum speed, temperature and cadence. The cadence sensor measures how many revolutions per minute you are turning the pedals, and this function is generally found on much more expensive cycling computers, therefore you may wish to consider this computer if you participate in spinning training. Except for the temperature function, all functions are likely to be used by all cyclists in training. Personally, I can?t see the point of the temperature feature as it doesn?t add anything to the overall computer. One thing to note is the lack of stopwatch, which is a bit of a let down, however, there is a clock that starts once you start pedalling which you...

Review of Trek Incite 11i Cadence Computer

the apple of my "I"

Advantages: touch screen, lightweight, good battery life
Disadvantages: possibility of getting the screen or the shiny back scratched

...joy?. She opened the small box to find the ipod itself, charging cables, headphones, ipod Dock adapter, Polishing cloth and a quick start guide. She immediately placed it onto charge, I can remember the initial charge taking a very long time, but that may have just been the impression due to wanting to play around with it as soon as possible. But as soon as the charge was complete it was hooked up straight away to the computer and the tracks where installed onto the ipod, this took no time at all due to my fiancé being a ipod lover, where as if I was doing it, it would have taken longer as I am not a fan of the itunes program that must be used to install music to the device. But once the music was transferred to the device then everything was good. The device turns on at a touch of a button then you have to slide across...

Cup Of Coffee Mate?

Advantages: A quick easy way to a creamy cup of coffee.
Disadvantages: Nothing major

...How many times have you been caught out? The milk is running low and there's no time to nip out to the shops and then the doorbell rings, this is when a jar of Nestle Coffeemate is worth its weight in gold. I used to keep some of those individual pots of coffee cream in for the unexpected but to be honest Coffeemate is a far better proposition. Nestle have more than one Coffeemate to offer us nowadays, there is the ordinary version, the virtually fat free type , Coffeemate original and Coffeemate Latte Creations Vanilla. I had never even heard of the last one on the list! But it is a whitening agent with sugar and vanilla flavouring that you add to your coffee to make a tasty latte apparently. I use the original Nestle Coffeemate, a 200g tub comes in at around £1.14p, sometimes you can manage to find it a touch cheaper but not...

Get yer Mates round...

Advantages: Comfortable, not too restrictive
Disadvantages: Can stifle a little feeling...

...other brands he has tried. I didn’t go into details to ascertain which other brands he’d tried, or more importantly, who with! But he seems very happy with this particular brand and feels he isn’t losing too much feeling or sensitivity whilst wearing them. These particular condoms are also coated in a spermicide for added protection, and are very similar to the basic Durex standard range with one major advantage, I have no reaction to these! I’ve found with some of the Durex products that I...er….suffer a little, an allergic reaction is all I’m saying! And the Mates range are also a little cheaper too, so an added bonus. All in all, my man and I recommend these, they do the ‘job’ admirably, are comfortable, not too restrictive and we are so impressed, we might even recommend them to my...

Review of Mates Natural

SEX, MATES, and IMAGINATION

Advantages: Protection from disease and pregnancy, easy to open packet, quite cheap
Disadvantages: May cause irritation to some users

...can see the condom, take hold of it between your lips and pull. There you have it, one unwrapped and ready to roll condom, hands free. As for putting it on.... the art of hands free condom application is not so easy. But it’s a lot of fun trying for both partners concerned. As I stated previously, Mates Sensitive are lubricated with a non-spermicidal lubricant. They are not heavily covered in it, and the smell and taste is quite inoffensive so oral activities are not spoilt by these condoms. The above is of course an optional alternative to the standard application method. However you choose to open and apply your condom remember that damage can be done with sharp nails, jewellery and indeed teeth so observe some caution in which ever way you use it. The recommended (and realistically safest) method is described on the leaflet...

Review of Mates Sensity

12 Mates, and a Rubber Fetish

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, comfortable
Disadvantages: Taste disgusting

...Well, my condom using days are soon to be up. Hubby's had the op (a vasectomy), and in January of 2002 condoms will (hopefully) no longer be required in the bedroom... or anywhere else in the house for that matter. But, until then, it's service as normal, so here comes condom op number 8. It's a little concerning that manufacturers ever had the nerve to call one of their product lines Natural. Tell me, what the hell is natural about a condom? Manufactured bits of rubber latex, or is it latex rubber? (I really should know by now), either way whatever you call it, you can hardly call it natural. Anyway, Mates do offer a Natural condom in their range, available in packs of 3 and 12. They come in less than inspiring packages... a predominantly red box with a dull mauve bubble pattern on it or the standard Mates silver/grey box...

iPod Classic truthful review

Advantages: Easy navigation, clear large screen, huge capacity, great looking, excellent value for money
Disadvantages: iTunes a little annoying, dodgy earphones

...at home (I haven't tried this yet). PHOTOS - seperated into all photos, and settings. You can store 20,000 photos on this machine, which I think is outstanding. Photos look great - clear, crisp and sharp images. You can arrange them into folders eg. "Mum's Birthday", "Christmas Day 2007" to make it easier to show images to friends/family, or for your own use. HOWEVER, I made the mistake of thinking you could load images onto the iPod and then delete them off the computer. You CAN'T do this. Basically, the pictures you put on your iPod have to stay on your PC if you want them to stay on your iPod. If you delete them from your PC, they'll delete straight off your iPod. This is VERY annoying because due to my laptop being unusable at the moment, I'm using my Dads and clogging up folders with photos and pictures which I must keep...
