Vtech V Smile Pocket educates and stimulates

Advantages: Turns game time into brain time!
Disadvantages: Need to separately purchase the Pocket Travel Bag to protect the LCD screen.

...When my eldest child (the one that is 6 going on 60!) received the V Smile Pocket I won on Ebay last Christmas, I received the biggest smile EVER! And so far, it has lived up to all that my eldest child expected from it. - THE PRODUCT- The V Smile Pocket is the handheld version to the V Smile TV Learning System, which is marketed for kids aged 3+. However, the V Smile Pocket is marketed for children between the ages of 5 and 9. Thankfully, the games you buy work with the V Smile Pocket as well as the V Smile TV Learning System. In addition, the V Smile Pocket can be played as a hand-held unit, or plugged directly into the TV for an at-home game play experience - thanks to the AV cable it comes with as standard. As a plus point, the V Smile Pocket can accommodate both right and left-handed players. To switch to either right...

Review of VTech Pocket VSmile

A Pocket Gem

Advantages: Sturdy quality; nice little touches like the pocket at the back; Nostaglic Romanticism
Disadvantages: None

...Moleskine proudly boasts that it was the notebook of choice for a number of influential thinkers, artists and writers, ranging from Van Gogh to Hemingway, via Matisse and Chatwin. A lofty pedigree indeed, so what made these great minds choose such an unassuming little black book, and why should you choose one today? I actually started with Moleskines when I received one of their diaries for Christmas, and finding it a handy little thing decided to branch out with a notebook. I run a couple of websites, one of which is an online monthly magazine, and find the need to jot down thoughts, and start writing article introductions, straight away lest I forget what was going through my head. At a diminutive 9x14cm this notebook easily slips inside a coat pocket, with the 192 lined pages proving enough to get a huge amount of thought...

Cheese & Ham Pockets

Advantages: taste nice, don't burn in the microwave
Disadvantages: unhealthy

...I have been off a lot lately since it is the summer and I am not at university. So I do find since being a student I did get lazy but for going back in Autumn I have been trying to find different products that I could use for snacks or lunch in between classes. While at my local supermarket I came across the Maggi Hot Pockets which were microwavable which I do try to stay away from as it is unhealthy but they looked too good to resist and with a preparation time of only two and a half minutes it sounded like something I would benefit from. The packaging is very eye catching with this product, I haven?t heard of Maggi before but I soon would. The cover has a very appetising photo of the hot pocket piping hot with steam arising from it and a very filling tasty flavour oozing out. The box is yellow, read and orange so all the warmest...

Braun Pocket Go 570 Shaver

Advantages: Size, long hair trimmer
Disadvantages: Shave wasnt as close as I would have liked

.... The instruction manual isnt exactly comprehensive. It folds out to the size of a small country but is also written in every language imaginable. The English section barely covers 1 fold and tells you how to insert the batteries, clean it and very little else, but then again, you dont really need much help to use a basic shaver I suppose. The shaver itself is fairly small, being approximately 4 inches long and would find into your pocket without being noticable. --The Shaving experience-- I used this shaver when I had quite a lot of stubble on my face, expecting it to all disappear in next to no time. The shaver felt comfortable on my face and I began sliding it across my skin. I was somewhat perplexed when, to the naked eye it didnt look as if it was taking anything off. In fact, I had to open up the top of the shaver to see if it had...

A tiger in my pocket

Advantages: Novelty gifts
Disadvantages: novelty gifts!

...Jungle in my pocket For some time now, Little Miss has collected the puppy in my pocket sets and when she saw these, they were a "must have". I can't really see the appeal but then again, I'm not 7 years old! WHAT ARE THEY? The animals come in cardboard backed plastic packaging, and thankfully they are really easy to open and get out of the packaging. So many toys are a nightmare to get out, so when i find some which are relatively easy, then I am less likely to have them on my often threatened "banned list". Once we get the packaging off there are 4 small animals- if you did keep them in your pocket, they would probably get lost. They are covered in a kind of very thin felt material so are quite soft and fuzzy to touch, with no jagged edges or sharp bits. I think the animals are supposed to be the baby versions...

Big Pockets .....

Advantages: LOW Prices, combine orders to save on postage, Easy to use, Quick delivery, Free delivery one some items
Disadvantages: Postage & Packaging costs

...an email to tell me that my item has been despatched. Overall, the ordering process was easy. So did I find a DVD-ReWriter to my liking? 'Nope' Well, this review isn't about a DVD-ReWriter anyway. =P I thought the prices were fairly decent but still a little more than what I wanted to pay. I wanted to pay around £80 and CCLComputers had some for less than that, so I bought it from them. Although I didn't buy my DVDRW from BigPockets, I still think they have some good stuff and at good prices. Check out their Specials section for Clearance and Sales lines. (~ ^ ^)~ SHIPPING / DELIVERY ~( ^^ ~) The costs can be found in the FAQ section. "The following prices are examples (UK MAINLAND ONLY) 0.01 kg - 5kg = £5.75 5.1 kg - 20kg = £6.99 20kg + = Extra 25p Per kg added to £6.99" ** Above quoted from the FAQ section...

Dangerous Book for Boys - Pocket Version - Diverting Miscellany

Advantages: Easy to dip in and out of. Well written. Good "little room" reading.
Disadvantages: A little too big and heavy to be a true "pocket" sized book.

...INTRODUCTION As a fan of Conn Iggulden?s writing - having read his excellent ?Emperor? and ?Conqueror? series of historic novels - I was a little surprised to learn that he and his brother, Hal, had branched out into the genre of miscellany. I was therefore quite pleased when my brother-in-law bought me ?The Pocket Dangerous Book for Boys: Things to Do? as a Christmas stocking filler. BARE FACTS The book comes in a sturdy, textured green hard cover. In the introduction, the Iggulden brothers state that the purpose of the book is to provide a smaller, more portable version of their bigger work ? ?The Dangerous Book for Boys? - but given that it measures around 6.5 by 5 inches and runs to rather hefty 200 pages, it barely merits the description of ?pocket sized?. That said, its rugged construction and size does lend...

Hot Pockets

Advantages: Taste really good, nice filling, cheap
Disadvantages: Hot

...Lovely melt in the mouth pastry pockets. Maggi hot pockets were not something I had heard of until I recently went for a bottle of milk at our corner shop and found these selling at the decent price of £1.49 for 2. The ones on offer were spicy beef but they also come in bolognese (I think) and tomato and mozorella. I opted for the spicy beef as I love any food that is spicy and I needed something to heat up quick as the wife was working a late shift and I couldnt be bothered to mess around in the kitchen much. The box says you can serve with salad (ugh!!!!) or chips and such for a balanced meal but I just heated up these 2 beauties and tucked in. I don't know how many calories are in or anyhting complicated like that and I dont suppose the nutritional value is up to much but they taste so good you want more than just the two...

RIM Blackberry Leather Pocket

Advantages: Stylish and provides screen protection.
Disadvantages: Slightly bulky

...In my opinion this is a great accessory for any blackberry user and a must have. This product has saved my phone from damage on numerous occasions and looks stylish and elegent when your phone is left on the desk in the office. My only slight concern is the qaulity of the stitching down the sides of the case as my leather pocket has loose stitching to the right hand side. I have since lost the product from when i first purchased and am awaiting my next case as i have already scratched the large screen on my blackberry since not using it. In my opinion this accessory is a necessity in keeping your blackberry device in pristine condition as it keeps your handheld clean with no scrathces....

Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise

Advantages: Touch-screen controls are precise. Graphics are impressive Lots of replayability
Disadvantages: Rewards system is very slow Animals could have done with more sounds and more "cuteness"

...The Viva Pinata franchise has finally made its portable debut. Pocket Paradise is a equal comparison to its xbox counterpart as most of the gameplay mechanics are retained. Your basic mision in the game is to attract pinatas into your garden based on your level and the plants and animals that currently populate your land. Whilst that seems easy it does make for an engaging game indeed. The controls make excellent use of the touch screen, allowing you to easily sweep around the garden planting bushes with precision and directing pinatas back to their homes Canging the garden to your liking and style is even easier than in the console versions. There is still some isses when objects are very close to each other, but the controls are well thought out in this portable edition. The graphics in Pocket Paradise...
