PAD or PDA - The Palm m100

Advantages: Price, compatibility, size, style
Disadvantages: Memory not expandable

...With the introduction of the Palm m105 - with 8Mb instead of 2Mb in the m100, I recommend the newer model, although if you can pick up the m100 for a song - go for it! Do you really need a PDA when you already have a PAD? The recent introduction on the Palm m100 will have a lot of people wondering if now is the time to ditch the old diary and switch to a handheld. For anyone who already uses MS Outlook for his or her diary, to do list and address book the answer is a definite “Yes”. SLIPS IN YOUR POCKET The Palm m100 is an all new handheld that easily slips into a shirt pocket and boasts the power and the memory of far more expensive machines. There are two software packages on the CD ROM supplied, the first synchronises your m100 with MS Outlook, the second is a “personal information...

Review of Palm M100

Palm M100

Advantages: It's small, it's simple, it does it's job
Disadvantages: No ports for external peripherals. You only have 2 minutes to change the batteries before the memory is lost.

...Summary: I am a college student and as any college student can tell you, there are many things to keep track of: classes, schedules, phone numbers, memos, you name it. It's tough to keep track of a lot of things when you're really busy and the Palm is a wonderful solution. I have received the Palm m100 as a gift and I have not had any problems with it. After using it for just a month, it is a college student's answer to organization. It only holds 2 MB of memory - does a college student need anymore than that? It's enough to get the job done. If games and email is what you're after, you need one of the higher models for more memory. 2 MB goes really quickly when you import programs. Since I am a person with simple needs, 2 MB is enough. I have found some add-on software for Palm for added organization. Now I can keep track of my...

M100, good or bad

Advantages: Efficient, good price, nice design, reliable, easy to use
Disadvantages: Not enough memory, screen is a bit small, difficult to read in some lighting conditions,

...I bought a M100 in September 2000. It's the first PDA I've used, so although I had expectations about it, I've since learned a lot about the good and bad aspects of this device. At first I thought it was absolutely great, and couldn't be faulted, I discovered a number of unexpected benefits, but now I can see a few minor disadvantages too... First the expected benefits. Its built in organiser, address book, calculator, notepad and little sketch pad all work well. (My four year old daughter loves the sketchpad). Its replaced all the functions of my paper organiser, and its only 1/3 the size and weight. At £130 (but shop around, there are bargains down to £100 at least in some places on-line), its cheap enough to be carried around without worry. I had just attended a conference on mobile computing, and I was interested in finding...

I'm Back - With 100 answers to boot!!

Advantages: Keeps me out of trouble for about a week - this is loooooooong!!
Disadvantages: You may not want to know even more about me!

...Well yes my friends, those ugly rumours are true - I'm back on Ciao after over 2 years away. I've got to get back in the swing of things - especially the writing, and what better way than this enormously HUGE challenge. I may well have covered some of these questions early on in my Ciao career, but as the answers may well have changed let's go for it anyway - with apologies for any duplication!! Brace yourselves - you're in a for a long, rough ride :-) 1 - First Names: Tina Elaine ** 2 - Pseudo(s)? Teeny, Teeny-Weeny, Teeny-Tiny-Tina ** 3 - Girl or boy? Its been a while since I've been called a girl - sounds kind of strange now. I don't even really fit under the "young lady" title anymore now either. But I was both once. ** 4 - Towns? (Birthplace and living town) Well I haven't travelled far...

Central Perk at home

Advantages: Great coffee every time, easy to clean up
Disadvantages: Pricey

...-consciously exclusive. I chose the Magimix M100 as it was a good brand and had the best deal going. There is very little difference in the design of the Magimix or Krups as far as I could see. For £99 (from Amazon - now £127) I got the machine, a selection box of the 12 coffees and the Aeroccino - a sort of kettle for milk that heats and froths the milk. There was also a further incentive of £30 cashback from Nespresso on buying the machine so for £69 I felt I was getting a good deal. The M100 is very compact and takes up less counter space than most machines. Mine is a steel grey with shiny chrome and black fittings but its available in colours from powder blue to a distinctive orange. It has a detachable water container at the bag and the drip tray and coffee collector slip out easily for cleaning. Essentially the system relies on a sealed mini...

M:Robe Mr-100 From Olympus

Advantages: Great Looks, Superb Sound Quality
Disadvantages: No Service From Olympus

...Since Apple dominated the portable music market in 2002 with the 3rd generation ipod theyre success has never ended. Its a shame more people dont consider alternatives like the M:Robe The front is a black plastic layer with touch sensitive buttons and scroll bar, and of course the screen. the back is a white metallic painted aluminum case with olympus branded on it. the bottom has the unique dock connector and a hidden reset button, the headphone port is on the side with a connector for optional remote. the power button is on the rtop. the MR-100 is a little slow at start up but the menus are very easy to nagivate through, and the red screen and red buttons are very "bang & olufsen style" the sound quality is better than i have heard from ANY mp3 player before. Battery life is also very good. if you wqant to be...

Review of Olympus m:robe MR-100 5 GB

  Enter the m:robe

Advantages: So shiny!
Disadvantages: Chuffing m:trip

...14.9 (d) mm. So pretty small, and certainly pocket sized. And-although you shouldn't really be asking a gentleman such a question-I weigh only 100g. And on the inside? I'm an iPod Mini**/Nano beating 5GB, plenty enough to keep you going for a good long time. That's approximately 1200 songs at 128 kbps, though obviously you can fit a darn sight more Rudimentary Peni or Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster on it and rather less of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I do draw the line at Westlife, you'll find I can fit only half one of their tracks onto my internal memory at any one time. It's a bug in my circuitry. Ahem. Touché. That's not a bug, it's a blessing... Which formats do you prefer? I only accept WMA or mp3; I can't be doing with any of this OGG or M4A silliness. I like to keep things simple, and it doesn't seem to cause any...

Canon Ixus 100 IS - Small and oh so stylish

Advantages: Small, Stylish, Auto modes work well, Image Stabilization
Disadvantages: HD Video capability is disappointing

...The Canon Ixus 100 IS is the successor to the Ixus 85 IS model, now with 12.1 megapixels instead of the old 10. The 2.5" screen is retained, as is the optical viewfinder and the 3x zoom capability, but the Ixus 100 IS is packed with new features. Video can now be recorded in HD (720p format) and an HDMI port has been added for viewing your pics on the latest HD televisions. The 100 IS also gets a new DIGIC 4 processor, Autofocus Tracking and Auto Scene Detection! The dimensions have changed in proportion, being a whole millimetre wider than its predecessor, another millimetre taller, but 2mm slimmer with an incredible depth of only 18.4mm. The weight stays about the same at less than 130g and, being similar in size to an iPod, it is very easy to carry around in your shirt pocket/handbag. Indeed, the similarity with the iPod doesn...

Review of Canon Digital IXUS 100 IS Digital Camera

100 Reviews = 100 Questions? Perhaps.

Advantages: There are some brilliant songs in there...
Disadvantages: I ramble on for too long about nothing of any interest...but please read anyway!

...signs which is a valid and highly cynical approach which I certainly appreciate. But, if you read a definition of the analytical, diplomatic, charming, indecisive, frivolous, slightly sarcastic (ok enough with the cheap flattery) Libran, I am a pretty good candidate for the scales. Or that's what people tell me anyway! According to the Chinese signs I'm a snake which I don't like because snakes are a bit icky. Instead I'll make up a completely different animal to pretend to be...what about a panda? Pandas are all cool and carry that monochrome look off so well... 11 - I like/love? Can we be sarcastic on this question? Or even add a corny quote from the deepest, darkest depths of Wikipedia? Ok, perhaps not. A few of these answers may not be 100% serious... *the family that have never put me up for adoption - that's a pretty amazing...

The 100 Questions of Kep

Advantages: You may find it interesting
Disadvantages: You might find I am a really boring person

...'s guitar combined with the soft vocals of Water's is amazing. 18. Band/singer/rapper Well for one, we can throw "rapper" out straight away. Not my scene at all. However, I suppose Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip would be classed as rap probably. But that is some really good stuff, and Scroobius Pip is a very talented poet. His lyrics carry great meaning, and one song, "Angles" can really make you think. Singer, no competition here, it is the one, the only FRANK TURNER. Formerly of Million Dead, I first saw Frank supporting Biffy Clyro in 2007, before then I had never heard of him, but I was instantly caught. With catchy folk tunes, and some of the best lyrics of modern music I have heard. His songs carry a raw passion I don't see in much other music, and especially seeing him live. I even met him the other week!!! Band - well...
