The best iPod / Phone!

Advantages: unbelivably sexy and beautiful, wonderful internet and video / music
Disadvantages: needs a couple of firmware updates to become the perfect phone

...is horrendous! The price in the US is around $400 (or around £210) and the launch price in the UK will be £279 So, the iPhone..... The iPhones comes in what is quite a small black box, which in itself is beautifully designed. It slides open slowly, given the vacuum created and reveals the iPhone at the top of the box. To protect the iPhone, Apple have even lined the inside of parts of the box with felt! Taking the iPhone out, you are then presented with a small plastic tray, a smaller box with a brief user guide, and then the very small charger, USB lead, Desktop stand and small headset. First impressions: Before you even turn it on, the iphone looks beautiful. It's sleek, black and cromed with only 4 buttons (sleep, home, volume and mute). It's surprisingly heavy, but in that well built type feel. The back is...

Behind Enemy Lines

Advantages: Entertaining the whole way through
Disadvantages: Slightly on the budget side

...Last night Behind enemy lines was on Film Four and I thought I?d give it ago, I had never heard of the film before and so did not know what to expect, I always give the info on the TV a read before getting into a new film as unfortunately I am one of the Biased people of the world who find a film more worth trying if it has good actors and a good synopsis. Judging a book by its cover and all that (slap on the wrists). First impressions Before the film had started I had my doubts, the cast of actors includes Owen Wilson, and after seeing more than a fair share of his films, I was doubtful to whether he could pull off what was being described on the TV info as an ?action/thriller? I have never seen him in a serious role and although this gave doubts it also intrigued me into seeing the film and made me want to see if he would fail...

Review of Behind Enemy Lines (DVD)

Walk the Line said the Man in Black

Advantages: An engaging, touching story and exceptional performances
Disadvantages: Very little

..."Walk the Line" chronicles the early years of legendary Country singer Johnny Cash from his childhood days, through to his rise to fame as a singer, his romance with June Carter, his decline into drug addiction and culminating in the now legendary concert at Folsom Prison in 1968. There is nothing I enjoy more than a really good biopic, one which entertains, educates and excites you whenever you watch it. For me "Walk the Line" fits that scenario perfectly, leaving me fully entertained once the film has finished, in fact despite its 124 minute duration it leaves me wanting more. What also makes this film so enjoyable is that whilst it sounds like a pretty stock storyline it is made all that more special because it is also an amazing true love story. As is often the case with biopics we get a look at the life of Johnny Cash from...

Review of Walk The Line (DVD)

iPhone I like

Advantages: Modern technology, amount of software and number of devices.
Disadvantages: No protective case.

...iPhone finally arrived on the UK market on the 9th November although not with the same amount of media attention it received in the U.S. it was still popularly accepted by the UK market. I bought mine on the 19th November for £269. This seems expensive but you get a digital camera, ipod and phone all rolled in to one with iphone + internet browsing and e-mail capability, also included are elements of a personal organiser (diary and notepad). The main feature of the phone is the touch screen technology which operates everything. Without boring you with technical detail I will tell you what I got from iphone. There are 17 screens (buttons you can push on the face of the camera.) The 4 on the bottom horizontal strip are the phone, e-mail, internet browsing and i-pod. There 13 buttons on top from left to right in 3 rows of 4 +1 are...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone

Advantages: Great interface. Excellent Music Clarity.
Disadvantages: Limited Official Apps

...iPhone. The greatest device since GSM was first created? Yes and No. I've had the iPhone for just over 4 months and I have mixed feelings over the device. I used ZiPhone to unlock mine from AT&T in the US for use in Ireland. Out of the box the iPhone is intruative (It has to be as a Manual is not included in the box). The box included a small quick start guide, a headset and the various connectors. Set up with iTune is a breeze even for a newbie. The Home Screen on the iPhone differs from most WIndows based Smart devices as a simple press closes the running program down. I own a HTC Touch aswell and found it much easier to upgrade and customise than the iPhone. While the iPhone has a huge and diverse 3rd party App community you may have to wait a long time until an App you need comes about. However, once they are released you can...

iPhone - uPhone - wiiPhone

Advantages: Apps are addictive
Disadvantages: MT must provoke a security package

...the late 1990's. The LG brand is trying their hardest to copy the delicious interface visual without actually compromising intellectual property. It is close, and yet if the iPhone hadn't been so inspiring I feel a different mood in the camp would change the cell-phone battle field. Thanks to the Windows 7 operating system for the PC, the pandora's box for touch-screen devices has been opened. This could make a even bigger bee-line to the iPhone or it will increase competition across the spectrum. The question is what will Apple do with the think-tank app in the years to come? The apps will out-source to devices strung up to Smart-Phone abilities, so as the MT moves on, it isn't about technology anymore it is derived how apps are used and what they can provide. One recent iPhone one picks on the notion that you cannot feed your baby, so it...

Defining The Great Line

Advantages: Strong drum work throughout, impressive vocal styling.
Disadvantages: You may wear the album out from playing it so often.

...In 2004 the band rose to fame with their 'They're Only Chasing Safety' album which sold more than 350 000 copies. Underoath came back after a 2 year wait with this album 'Define The Great Line' with which the band have a great stab at success in the metalcore genre, a genre they started off in with their first two albums 'Act of Depression' and 'Cries of the Past' before moving onto the melody, scream, repeat formula of the 'They're Only Chasing Safety' release. I feel that this was a wise move for the band as I feel that this is a genre that they do a lot more successfully, and so in returning to their roots as such the band are definitely onto a winner. Underoath make strong use of their double bass pedal with this release, producing a heavy album that should go down well with many of those that listen to it. This album is full...

Review of Define The Great Line - Underoath

BT phone line.

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: totally unreliable.

...From our experience with BT they seem to have a policy of treating customers with utter contempt. Since we had our BT line installed last summer we've had constant problems with the phone line. About 5-6 times the line has cut off, gone completely dead. Even when it was working there was constant interference on the line. Calling BT (very expensive if you're forced to use a mobile) usually takes the best part of an hour to get through to a human being, at which point they will tell you there's nothing wrong with the line and it must be your fault. Eventually (after having been put through to countless different people) they agree to send someone out to fix it.. but we're usually left without a working phone for a week, there is no apology or explanation for why the line was cut off in the first place, and no refund for the money they...

iPhone; Modern day Beauty and the Beast

Advantages: Touch screen, games, web browser, utilites, music, pictures
Disadvantages: Price, can not copy and paste, battery life, camera

...In a nutshell: IT?S A TOUCH SCREEN. No other phone have I ever come across since I laid my hands on has so much capabilities as this beautiful beast. It?s a phone, it?s a music player, it?s a camera, it?s a web browser, it?s everything all mashed together into one beautiful device. However its not cheap and it has many limitations so unfortunately its like my last girlfriend; a imperfect beauty. When it comes to the iPhone, I never can make the decision over whether I hate it or love it. It?s a beautiful little device with operates on Apple?s OS X operating system. Its all touchscreen so instead of using buttons the phone has icons that appear on the very touch-sensitive screen, and this screen is big, actually its bigger than big its HUGE. Apple claimed that the iPhone was five years ahead of the competition and when you have a play...

Review of Apple iPhone

Aye it's an iPhone

Advantages: Great gadget
Disadvantages: A bit bulky

...As usual I'm miles behind everyone else when it comes to technology and I've only just entered the world of mobile browsing by buying myself an iPhone. Here are several versions of the phone some with more memory than others but I plumped for the 8 gig version because that's more memory than I need The iPhone is quite amazing, what differentiates it from other phones are the applications, the sheer amount of applications is phenomenal, you can get an app for just about everything whether it's something as simple as accessing Facebook or googling, to apps for purchasing from Ebay or Amazon. There are also plenty of applications for games and music, or word processors and spreadsheet applications. Lots of the apps need to be paid for, ranging in price from approx 49p to over £5. But many apps are free, in fact this review is being...
