PS3 should you buy one for christmas

Advantages: Best on the market, bluray play,
Disadvantages: expensive, not as many titles as 360

...a result. 10. The Play TV add on turns it into a full on Personal Video Recorder with upscaling. That's another £150 saved then. 11. Oh -the games. Fantastic. Little Big Planet is beautiful, FIFA '09 is better than watching Spurs (not really an endorsement to buy I suppose :-)) and who needs Lara when you've got Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. 12. If 80GB isn't bug enough then... Google PS3 Hard Drive Upgrade. Undo 6 Philips screws, slide out the old Hard Drive and insert a 320GB Notebook one for £60 from Amazon. Now you can back up everything and all those dodgy 80's Student videos you ripped from VHS to DVD! 13. PlayStation Network is improving and is Free. The new Home is just round the corner... downloadable films etc.. social networking etc..etc.. So buy yourself a PS3 and watch it develop into your all in one entertainment...

Nokia N97 - 'The new iPhone'

Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera
Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

...responsive as the iPhone in that category, I sometimes find myself having to click the screen multiple times before it registers what I am trying to do. Image quality makes up for this. The phone has a full slide out QWERTY keyboard which is very useful if you are a text addict like me. The keys are also well spaced out, I hardly ever press buttons by accident because they are just the right size. The keys are well lit with a backlight, great for texting in low light conditions. In general the keypad slides out effortlessly from the main phone and I am yet to have any problems with it. Battery Life - Something I'm not too thrilled about is the battery life, I find myself having to charge the phone every few days if not more often, I didn't have this problem with my W850 however I appreciate that the N97 needs more battery to 'do its thing...

Review of Nokia N97

Review - The Nokia N97 vs The iPhone 3GS

Advantages: Good Looking, Durable, Huge Memory, Very Very Good QWERTY keyboard
Disadvantages: Tiny processor leading to lag and application crashes

... The Nokia N97 Nokia have announced the follow up to their 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen phone. The Nokia N97, which utilises a 3.5 inch touchscreen and slide out QUERTY keyboard. Appearance The overall design of the N97 is not at all unique, looking like the lovechild of a Google G1 and Apple iPhone, comparisons have also been drawn to the AT&T Tilt, and rightly so. Despite Nokia's lack of imagination the N97 is a nice looking thing, apart from a small button in the bottom left corner, the 3.5 inch touchscreen dominates and looks sleek and well designed. When the QUERTY keyboard is slid out the screen sits at an angle, looking remarkably like the HTC TyTN. The N97 is both larger and thicker than the iPhone, which isn't exactly inconspicuous itself, this makes the N97 feel a little too large, especially...

Chicco Happy Snack Highchair

Advantages: Sturdy and seat reclines
Disadvantages: took a while to get to grips with putting it up and down!!

...I love this high chair. I got it for my little one, he was ready for solid foods around 5 months and I started looking for a highchair but I was worried about him sliding out of one. This highchair is great because it has a large plastic piece between the legs which stops him sliding around. Also the fact the seat reclines into different positions. The tray can be removed completely and adjusted to 4 different positions which is great. There is a handy storage basket underneath which is good for keeping spare bibs and wipes in so your not running around trying to find them when your little one has decided to put there fingers in there food!! I would definitely recommend this highchair as is great value for money, sturdy and wipes clean....

Panasonic Lumix TZ6, Versatile compact with great image quality

Advantages: Fantastic little camera with 12 x zoom & 10.1MP (better than TZ5), but cheaper than TZ7
Disadvantages: No HD movie mode, not very cheap

...The Panasonic Lumix TZ6 is a great little camera that I have used to compliment my large DSLR (a Nikon D90 I have also reviewed), which is too big and expensive to be taken everywhere. Specification The TZ6 is compact camera with 10.1 MP, which is plenty of pixels for all but the larger prints and harshest crops. This means that in normal conditions there will never be pixelation, in fact too many megapixels squashed onto a sensor can actually reduce the image quality. The most important feature of this camera is the 12x zoom, 25mm wide angle, Leica lens. Leica is a quality brand, and this lens is no exception, it produces quality images and the lens slides out of the camera quickly and smoothly. There is no lens cap, but slide across covers, as in most other digital compacts. Design For such a versatile camera, it is...

Chicco Polly Highchair

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Gimmicks not used

...The Chicco Polly comes in a variety of colours and designs but you have to shop around to find them all. It arrives "flat-pack" but is very easy to assemble. The chair has a double layer of padding so it can be made bigger as the child grows. I like the way the straps fit ensuring that your baby won't wriggle out. The foot rest has various settings all the way up to horizontal, making is comfortable for your baby. The actual seat also reclines which is very useful as my baby is too small to be bolt upright. On the other hand, I have not used the full recline, but I suppose it could be used for napping after a big meal. The tray comes off simply and slides out, (which you can do one-handed), so you can put your baby in the seat. The tray is easlily removed for cleaning. The seat padding is also easily wiped clean. I thought...

Review of Chicco Polly Double Phase High Chair

Not the answer to life the universe and everything.....

Advantages: Powerful, will manovere well with a bit of practice
Disadvantages: Still quite heavy, not that easy to follow instructions

...to clean under. The ball does not move as smoothly as it seemed to on the tv ads. It seems to want to run away with itself a bit and do it's own thing! I guess that will get better with time as I get more used to using it. The hoover does appear to be more powerful than my old Dyson, the suction on carpets is very strong. I like the fact that you can turn the brushes on and off by a switch which is situated on the main body of the hoover, next to the power switch. On the old one, I had to bend down to the floor cleaner to turn it off, which was annoying. I also like the way the wand comes off the machine on the new model. It simply slides out the top of the machine and it is ready to go, rather than all the faffing about you had to do with the old model. The dust container on this Dyson is a bit smaller than my old model, so I guess I...

He Who Dares...wins, if he buys this!

Advantages: It's Only Fools innit, you Plonker!
Disadvantages: Gordon Bennet, there ain't none

...What can I say about Only Fools & Horses that you don't know already? Probably nothing but if you're a fan...or not, this is an absolute peach of a buy. I didn't buy it, my wife got it for me as a present and its one of the best prezzies ever! It comes in a nice box with a "Del Boy" style cheesy pattern. The contents of the box slide out to reveal a book type storage with 4 discs every other page. There are 25 discs in total comprising of series 1-7, the Christmas specials 1986-93, the Christmas trilogy 1996 and the Christmas specials 2001-2003. There is also a final disc called, "The story of only fools & horses" which has behind the scenes footage. The pages are laid out in a kind of photo journal with a letter attached on page two from Del Boy to his son giving him a bit of history to look back on. As you flip the pages...

Review of Complete Only Fools And Horses (Box Set) (DVD)

Dell Inspiron 1520

Advantages: Good looking and nice price
Disadvantages: bulky

...**THE LOOK** Although this machine is a bit on the bulky size, weighing in at a middleweight 3.2kg and measuring 36cm wide by 27cm deep and 4cm thick, this laptop looks smart, with its black cover, silver inner lining and its 15.4 inch screen The keyboard section is laid out with simplicity, not too confusing to the eye, with the power button above it and the touch pad below. On the left side there lies the heating vents, which never get too hot but simply blow out nice warm air, and not too noisy with it. Also there is the WiFi sliding switch, which has three functions on the sliding path, on-off and search. With the microphone and earphone socket the side look neat well organised. There is also a flat tray like piece of plastic which slides out when a button is pushed, this is the 'express card slot' On the right side...

Shiny Practical Kitchen Toaster

Advantages: Compact, easy clean budget toaster
Disadvantages: Electric cable could be longer

...Simple and straightforward, this easy clean toaster is a useful addition to any kitchen. With shiny stainless steel sides which stay cool, all the controls are grouped at one end of the toaster. It automatically adjusts the grip to the thickness of the bread, teacake or crumpet which you insert, and then pops up at the end of the allotted time, turning off the heat. The rotary control to adjust toasting or browning time is simple and responsive. There is the usual cancel button, to abort when the toast is becoming overdone, and a very handy button to pre-select for frozen slices. Most square pre-packaged bread easily fits into the slots. The crumb catcher slides out from beneath and is effective at catching most crumbs, but some will still inevitably find their way to wherever you store the unit! Fresh hot toast and crumpets...
