I was blown away by the iPod Touch!

Advantages: Massive range of features, wireless internet, ease of use
Disadvantages: Now I want an iPhone!

...This is a repost as I set up a new account only to be reconnected with my old username. Apologies if you have seen this before but the username this was originaly posted under has been deleted. Sorry! There have been very few points in my life when a piece of technology has left me gobsmacked. The first time I returned from lunch to find my ZX Spectrum had managed to load a game, my first mobile phone, Satnav (in a negative sense) and this iPod. I was given this iPod as a wedding gift so it would be impossible for me to talk about where this item was purchased and rude to discuss the price (although I'm sure the wonderful web has a million and one places to buy it at a variety of prices). Instead I will try and convey my utter delight at this products' range of uses. Think of it as a digital media Swiss Army Knife and you will not be...

I was blown away by this iPod!

Advantages: App store gives incredible range of featues, Great value for money
Disadvantages: Makes me want an iPhone for the 3g aspect

If Only I Was The BOSS!!

Advantages: A book full of humour for children.
Disadvantages: May not appeal to boys as this series of books is all about a girl called Daisy.

...This book is one of a series of books all about Daisy, written by Kes Gray and illustrated by Nick Sherratt. ************** Daisy Books ************* This series of books is very popular amongst the 4 - 5 year olds I teach. Daisy is a little girl with a 'frighteningly' straight bobbed hairstyle and her adventures are really popular with most little girls as they can relate to her mischievious humour and 'goings on'! Daisy doesn't 'do' dresses, e.g in the book entitled YUK! she wants to wear a baseball outfit or a leopard skin suit rather than a bridesmaid dress! Some other books in the series are: * Yuk! * You Do! * Eat Your Peas * Really, Really * A Bunch of Daisies **************** If I Was BOSS **************** In this book, Daisy talks about all of the things most young children would love to do in the house...

Review of If I was Boss - Kes Gray

I wish I was a celebrity!

Advantages: Ant and Dec
Disadvantages: The so called celebrities

...! The contestants must try and complete the trials and earn the amount of stars they need depending on how many people are in camp, however if they feel they cant carry on they can stop the trial by shouting 'Im a celebrity (Ha they wish!) Get me out of here!'. For the first week it is the viewers who get to vote which celebity should do the trials but after this the celebrities can decide between themselves and the viewers instead vote on who they wanted kicked out the jungle! The programme os only ever on once a year which is a bit of a shame as I wished it was on more often or at least when it was it lasted a bit longer. It's another of the reality TV shows and so if you like them then you'll love this!...

Review of I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!

Teenage Quicks

Advantages: Quick paced, great for a children's book
Disadvantages: Might not appeal to everyone, too short!

...Introduction This isn?t a book that I chose to read of my own accord ? it?s actually one that someone else chose for our book club. This in mind, it?s worth knowing that it?s usually grouped in with the teenage book section and isn?t really seen as so much of an adults book. Unless there?s a lot of hype about a book (Harry Potter, Northern Lights, etc) it?s not often that I venture in to this section and I think it?s highly unlikely that I would have picked this up without a firm recommendation. That said, the person who chose this book had never actually read it? so I was a bit dubious as to how good it would be when I took it away on holiday with me as one of my books to read by the pool. What It Was Like What I Was is a short novel about a young boy at public school in the 1960s. He doesn?t get on well with his father...

iTouch

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: Nono

...I am not going toi pretend that I can inform you of everythng there is to know on the iPod Touch, they are so extensive in there functions i think it would just be boring you anyway! Let me start from the beginnning, I saved up for the christmas just gone, and i wanted to buy my two younger brothers something which they would really appreciate and enjoy. A friend said why don't i buy them one of these, now don't get me wrong, i know what an iPod is, but i had no idea about an iTouch, therefore I was reluctant to spend £170 each on them. When I first saw them, I was a little disappointed, I would have thought that Apple would offer you some inclusive accessories with the £170 iPod that you are buying, but really i was just a black thing in a small clear case. On inspection of the item i realised that it is a very smart and very...

iTouch!

Advantages: Packed with applications, very handy and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Keyboard is hard to use, no flash player and not very durable without a case.

...If it was not for the fact that I needed more than 16GB at the time of buying my 160GB iPod Classic, I would've bought one of these. Obviously now, there is the 32GB iPod Touch, but this is still not enough. The iPod touch therefore is for people who have some money to spend and just want to put their CD's onto the iPod. It is packed with features and in essence is a PDA without the office applications. It comes pre-loaded with Safari (Apple's own web browser), the iTunes store, built in iPod, a special YouTube application for viewing Youtube videos and many other features. Firstly, while I'm thinking about it, the iPod touch doesn't come with a flash player, which is the reason why there's a special YouTube application. This means that when browsing safari, you can't watch embedded video clips or clips off other video sharing sites...

the apple of my "I"

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

...I purchased this product in November 2008, as a Christmas present for my fiancé. She had hinted at getting a new ipod, as her previous one was the 2 GB ipod nano from a few years back. I walked into the apple shop that had recently opened up in Belfast, surrounded by the whole apple range I looked at a couple different models from the new 8 GB nano to the ipod classic. But my eyes finally came to a halt upon the shiny surface of the 8 GB ipod touch. I knew instantly that this was the present that I was to buy her. So I went to the counter, the cashier asked me what I wanted and I placed my order, at which point he turned his back to me and started looking through some drawers, a few seconds later he turned around and handed me a very small rectangular box with curved edges. Hmmm, I thought to myself, it?s rather small? so I handed...

PS3 i umm'd i arrr'd - it was worth it!!

Advantages: Same Pads, versatile, Good looking!
Disadvantages: Cost (but it IS worth it) Big name Games not here just yet

...thing wrong with them!! For me without doubt the best part of Sony is the pads. Ergonomically they hit perfection with the PS2 pads so why would you change the way they look??? Of course on top of that we know they have made them wireless and six-axis controlled as well. *icing on the cake* If anyone is worried like i was, about the battery life of wireless pads, fear not. i charged the pads up by the USB cable on the day i got it and still havent had to recharge!! bonus! I cant stress how much of a big difference a small change like wireless pads makes, i can now sit on my sofa in comfort without holding the pad at a funny angle to makes sure it doesnt pull out. Wireless Pads = Comfort Blu Ray Player: I wont lie im yet to use it, but intend to next weekend so im looking forward to it on 32" HD TV, ive heard good reports...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

I was a celebrity - make me famous again!

Advantages: Excellent two-week entertainment
Disadvantages: But please, don't flog a dead horse ...

...?barrel? and ?scraping? spring to mind. Nevertheless this was clearly the highest profile of all three series so far, and this was ultimately reflected in its high ratings and massive water-cooler appeal. Once again, even the sneering broadsheets devoted acres of coverage to it, and the tabloid frenzy surrounding the contestants was immense. People probably know the format, but here?s a brief summary just in case. The ten celebs enter the ?jungle? in Australia (though I believe the crew make sure there?s no REALLY dangerous stuff in there ? a dead celeb wouldn?t go down too well in the morning headlines). Over the first week, the viewing audience votes for the celebrity they would like to face a daily ?Bush Tucker Trial? in order to win food for the camp. These trials invariably include insects, water, dangling and high-pitched squealing...
