Very smart, super functional Razr2!

Advantages: Looks, range of good functions
Disadvantages: fiddly to attach USB cable, no SD card slot

...Motorola Razr2 V8: When this phone came out of the box, my first thought was 'WOW, that's fantastic!'. My second thought was 'If this works as well as it looks then I'm ecstatic!'. This is the first time I have bought a phone online without seeing it in a brick and mortar store but I am a Motorola fan and felt I couldn't really go wrong. Charge/Battery: The battery charged very quickly out of the box. After several hours of constant use, including Bluetooth time, it was down to 1 bar on the display. However when the phone is connected to the computer, it also charges. Second charge time was about 1 hour and half to full charge and the battery has remained at full (3 bars) despite being connected to Bluetooth for approx 2 hours. Software: Motorola Phone Tools is the software package provided for general synchronisation...

HP Touchsmart TX2 Multitouch and Windows 7 Ready Tablet PC

Advantages: Great support for Windows 7 and Multitouch functionality.
Disadvantages: A little pricey in comparrison to standard machines.

...As a developer interested in writing multi touch applications for Windows using Windows Presenetation Foundation and Silverlight I was keen to explore the touch capabilities of this laptop which I boiught shortly after its' release. At first the multitouch support was poor, (and was even worse under early beta versions of Windows 7). However, the drivers have improved beyond measure and I now run the machine under Windows 7 (64bit release candidate) and use it as my primary development platform for both Silverlight (2/3) and WPF development. The laptop functions on a number of different levels: 1. As a standard laptop (it performs admirably). 2. As a Tablet PC (its' stylus/pen is excellent allowing you to rest your hand on the screen as you write - which feels intuitive and comfortable). 3. As a Multi-Touch device (the TX2...

Very Smart biscuits indeed!

Advantages: Very good quality and a low price product
Disadvantages: None in my opinion!

...Review of Asda Smart Price Digestive Biscuits Asda's own label, economy range is known as Smart Price. In line with many other supermarkets, the Smart Price range has been introduced to offer shoppers a low budget alternative to costlier ranges. Asda Smart Price products can be found right across the store and incorporates many everyday items which are simply packaged and low in price. Some are better than others and these sweet meal digestive biscuits certainly fall into the 'better' category. Packaging and Appearance The biscuits are packaged in Asda's Smart Price garb of basic white and green wrapping. The biscuits are encased in a plastic wrapper which bears the company logo, product description, nutritional information and ingredient list. There are no pictures or images apart from a silhouetted green cup and saucer...

Get Smart - Much Better Than Expected!

Advantages: Very funny in parts - Steve Carrell
Disadvantages: A tad too long

...Get Smart (2008) Pickings were a bit slim last night so my daughter was surfing Sky and came across this film, which we meant to see at the cinema but never got around to. I was a reluctant viewer as I didn't think that it looked that good to be honest... What Is It All About? This is basically a spy movie that is a comedy (based upon a tv series), focusing on Maxwell Smart (Steve Carell) and his desire to become an agent. He takes test after test, but keeps failing and has to be satisfied with being an analyst instead. Of course a terrorist plot comes to light and all of a sudden, Max looks like an attractive option. He becomes Agent 86 and is partnered with Agent 99 played by Anne Hathaway. He tries to prove himself as more than a penpusher and uses his penchant for detail as a means to find the baddies. Predictably...

What a smart board!

Advantages: interactive, great display, useful resources, great teaching tool
Disadvantages: pens and remote too easy to steal, callibration issues

...PLEASE NOTE - PUNCTUATION STILL DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DISPLAYING CORRECTLY IN MY REVIEWS. COME ON CIAO - SORT IT OUT!!! Teaching in schools has been revolutionised by the use of interactive whiteboards in classrooms. These boards have been gradually replacing the standard ?dry wipe? whiteboard as the central focus point of the classroom. There are two main brands used in schools at the moment and these are the Promethean Interactive Whiteboard and the SMART board. The Promethean uses one pen as the means of interacting with the board, where as the SMART board uses four coloured pens, an ?eraser? and you can also use your finger. I understand that this is not a product that anyone is likely to buy for their house as is main use is within schools, colleges, universities etc (having said that, businesses are now beginning to invest in...

smart cabrio 4,2, funcar

Advantages: heated seats, small size for parking,nippy,good towcar,easy to switch to auto.still stylish
Disadvantages: fuel consumption could b better, need bigger fuel tank for long trips

...This car is my second smart, have had it for nearly 7 years, and am looking to change to a new diesel one, cabrio of course. This is purely for an improved fuel consumption. otherwise the car i all i could want. It handles well , the only time it can get hairy is if you are burning it on the mway. Mod cons, the air con and heated seats are good, driving is well positioned , but sometimes you look for somewhere to put your arm in the passenger seat. The carrying capacity has never been an issue , from a full family shop to a full size carpet or christmas tree stood out of the top. The fuel consumption is not brilliant for a small car, the other diesel one I had was better , hence the change. All in all the good points outweigh the bad and the car is really fun to drive even off road.we also tow it behind a camper van....

Be Smart! With Smart Price Garlic Bread.

Advantages: Very reasonable in price, easy to cook.
Disadvantages: Could have been stronger inn flavour

...Review of Asda Smart Price Garlic Bread. The Product This review covers garlic bread from the Asda economy budget range, known as Smart Price. Along with many other supermarkets budget lines, Asda's Smart Price is a range of lower priced, simply packaged basic items.

All my family enjoy garlic bread, we tend to eat it with a wide assortment of meals, my own favourite is a bowl of home made vegetarian pasta and a couple of slices of garlic bread...Yum! Asda's Smart Price garlic bread is a baguette shaped white loaf filled with garlic butter.

Sweetly smart! Asda Smart Price Sweetcorn

Advantages: Very reasonably priced, good quality.
Disadvantages: Only from Asda, no ring pull on can.

...Review of Asda Smart Price Sweetcorn. This review covers canned sweetcorn from the Asda economy budget range, known as Smart Price. Along with many other supermarkets budget lines, Asda's Smart Price is a range of lower priced, simply packaged basic items. As I am restricted to a tight budget nowadays, I have been buying more and more products from supermarket own ranges. The Product and Packaging What is it? Self explanatory really, a can containing a net weight of 326g of sweetcorn kernels. The sweetcorn is presented in a plainly labeled, recyclable tin can. The label is basically white, with the Asda Smart Price logo in green and black. The label features a small image of a bowl of bright yellow sweetcorn kernels. Nutritional, cooking and Asda company information is also detailed on the label. The can is not the ring pull...

Review of Asda Smart Price Sweetcorn

Not so smart

Advantages: Good acting. Ellen Page
Disadvantages: Boring plot

...(Film only review) On our weekly trip to the cinema, we chose to see Smart People, although not really knowing much about it, thought we'd give it a go. After seeing Juno and enjoying it hugely, primarily due to the superb acting of Ellen Page, I thought this has to be just as good?surely. I had seen snippets of trailers and quite liked the look of it, the quirky use of Scrabble tiles in the poster made me smile?I mean they use Scrabble letters in the marketing, how bad could it be??? Well, that's a good question, because something was lacking, that I can't quite put my finger on. As the film starts, we are introduced to Laurence Wetherfold, played by Dennis Quaid (Vantage Point) who is a university lecturer of literature, recent widower and father of two teenagers, each at different stages of education. As you might...

Modern Warfare 2 - Fun but not Fantastic

Advantages: intriguing gameplay, flawless sound/graphics, rolling storyline
Disadvantages: anti-climax, little repetitive, nothing really new to catch onto

...The hype was wild for Halo 3, it continued for the anticipations of Halo Wars and many were disappointed. Hype was given for Gears of War and that continued for Gears of War 2 and many were disappointed. Likewise Call of Duty was bound to reach a similar anti-climax and so far it has. The overall conclusion is that is fun but not fantastic. However it is important to note that unless you are the stereotypical gamer who has his own gaming chair complete with a surrounding of cookies, crisps, full fat cola, a headset and the limited edition of Halo 3's Spartan mask, likiness is you won't find the game at all a let down. Afterall Infinity Ward are possibly the only people to construct a war-time gaming experience that steers well clear of clichés which removes the unbelievable characters who would look more in place in a Marvel Comic strip...
