Chaos From k-os

Advantages: A couple of bangers
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

..."Joyful Rebellion" came out in 2004 as the second album from k-os, a Canadaian Hip Hop MC who performs in a style similar to that of Mos Def, Q-Tip and Common as he fuses the concepts of conscious Hip Hop and the Jazz Hip Hop that A Tribe Called Quest presented, and uses this as his main motivation when performing his music. 1. "Emcee Murdah" To start off the album you have a track which has the artist deal with "the definition of a real MC" as many have before, and whilst doing this, he kills off all those who obviously do not fit this mould, and in fact have been detrimental in achieving the aim of the Hip Hop genre. **Three Stars** 2. "Crucial" As well-reputed as it is, k-os shows his range of musical influences by doing a Dub-based joint whihc has him exploring a little Reggae whilst singing in this stlye to authentic...

Palm Top of the pile

Advantages: Light, powerful, elegant, good battery life, lots of software available.
Disadvantages: Not a stand alone product

...palm owners, as well as to Siemens phones with IR. If you want to add ringtones to your Siemens phone, then the software s25util (works on all IR capable Siemens mobiles) is for you, and it also allows you to change operator logos. At launch its memory of 8mb was as much as anything offered, although other manufacturers, including the PalmOS clone, the Handspring Visor, have larger storage capacities and also expansion capacities. With regular synchronisation, your data is also easily reloadable in the event of your Palm crashing, and the Palm Desktop software for Windows is very capable too. As far as the supplied software, you get Address - an address book/contact management program, Calc - a calculator, Date Book - a diary, Expense - an expenses management program, Mail - allowing you to compose short e-mails (4000 characters to then...

Palm Treo 680

Advantages: Small and well made, Palm OS
Disadvantages: a bit fiddly

...This is a well thought-out device with a good touch sensitive screen and a surprisingly usable keyboard, even for people like me, with fat fingers. I have used Palm OS PDAs for many years so I have a lot of data and applications from previous devices that I want to maintain and I was keen to stay with the Palm OS operating system rather than switch to Windows at this stage. It was easy to move the Treo 680 from my Palm T5 without any loss of data. Now I only need to carry one device instead of a PDA and a phone. The stylus is a bit fiddly to use when compared to the chunky T5 one, but then the stylus is not needed as much given that the keyboard replaces the need for text entry with the stylus. The operating system is easy to use and syncs without any problems to my old iMac (Mac OS X version 10.2.8) In the few months I have owned...

Palm TX

Advantages: everything! cheap reliable, fantastic features
Disadvantages: no spare stylus or screen protectors in box

...I got my new Palm TX in August this year and I have been very impressed with its performance and flexibility. I previously owned a Palm Tungsten E which screen was 320 x 320 resolution and had no Bluetooth or Wi-fi, so these 2 features are great additions for me. For those who have never used a PDA they are all touch screen and most have handwriting recognition to save having a keyboard and in Palm handhelds this is called Graffiti and is very handy when writing as you can just write as you normally would. The Screen size of the TX is 320 x 460 so videos can be viewed in landscape and portrait modes, so effectively can be in widescreen. The video quality is very impressive and I would highly recommend in investing in a 2GB SD card for those long journeys. The new palm desktop software is similar to the previous but has a much easier...

Review of Palm TX

In you Palm

Advantages: A neat unit with lots of applications
Disadvantages: None

...The Palm Tungsten is a sleek cool looking handheld with a vast array of features that are going to suit the majority of users. It comes with most of these features pre-loaded, but there are more on the provided CD which also contains the software to enable synchronization with your PC or Mac. Also provided in the box are several power adaptors which will make in rechargeable almost worldwide. Although the unit comes with Bluetooth there is also an additional cable supplied which will link your Palm to your computer for the transfer of data. I have found through experience that the cable method is definitely significantly quicker compared with the Bluetooth, but again each to their own. One thing I have noticed is that the lifespan of the internal rechargeable lithium battery is greatly improved from previous...

Review of Palm Treo 680

The Palm

Advantages: Great colour and comparative value for money. Rechargeable battery a big plus.
Disadvantages: Slightly bulkier than average PDA's

...The Palm IIIc handheld PDA is a great help for an experienced Palmer. First off, if you must have color this is a must have for you because the color is crisp and clear. If you would like a good audio, music, sound this is probably not for you because of the high peak of the volume, very low, would be too quiet to hear in a croud of people or any place where it is noisy. If you are a first user I would suggest the Palm X, Palm IIIe they are cheap and work great! I found the unit to have excellent contrast and display. Once you are used to colour - it is difficult to go back to monochromatic displays. This is the color version of the Palm 3 and looks better and clearer for it. Memory is not upgradable and 8mb is not a huge amount. I have 3mb left and starting to worry. Bad mistake but I will cope...

Palm Zire - the basics of handheld computing

Advantages: easy to use, lots of programs, everything you need is supplied with the unit
Disadvantages: no backlight, only 2MB of memory

...I've had my Palm Zire for around about two years now and it was great value for money when I got it (£20 in the bargain basement section of Woolworths) and I have used it on and off every day since. The software that comes pre installed is quite useful and it is very easy to find additional software on the internet. The unit itself ships with a CD containing the Palm Desktop software for synchronising the Zire with the computer, which means that if you lose one zire, you can simply buy another Palm handheld and the information that was on your zire can be copied to that very easily. The unit also contains a usb cable and a protective screen. The zire is very small and will fit into most pockets without leaving a massive bulge. The internal memory isn't very good (2MB) and the screen is not backlit, but if you only want something...

Fun for the Palm of your hand

Advantages: Fully usable handheld computer and phone combined
Disadvantages: Battery life, small standard memory

...a powerful vibrating battery, or do I go for LG's Shine, a supremely sexy looking mobile phone built with LG's legendary (ahem) quality? There's the Nokia N93i, which looks like it's designed to either inflect extreme pain or extreme pleasure, or there's the somewhat unpronounceable Motorola KRZR K1, which is less motorbike and more fashion phone of choice for the elite. At the end of the day, however, I choose my phones on the basis of what I'm actually going to use them for every day so - even though the mighty N95's DVD-quality camera and built-in GPS software was appealing, and even though its double-slide mechanism to choose between multimedia and phone options was so breathtaking I almost creamed my Jeep jockey shorts at the sight of the sales girl slipping the keypads back and forth in her nimble fingers - I chose the Palm Treo 750v as...
