Sony e reader

Advantages: lightweight
Disadvantages: not cheap

...**** Sony E Reader **** I really enjoy reading but somehow my suitcase always ends up really heavy so when i saw that my local Waterstones had some in stock i decided to purchase one.At 199 quid its not cheap but i felt i could easily spend that on buying the books alone. **What is it?** Basically it is an electronic device that you can store books on.The memory size you get with it holds up to 160 books but there is also slots for you to add extra memory if needed,not that you would need it. **Pros** One of the best things about this is that you do not have to carry loads of books around with you. Books are cheaper on the ereader than they are to buy normally and when you buy the ereader from Waterstones it comes with 100 classic books so if you are like me and would read these anyway the ereader pays for itself. It can...

Review of Sony Portable Reader PRS-505

  e by gum...

Advantages: Currently free on Pay As You Go! Amazing images & features.
Disadvantages: Navigation needs some getting used to.

...You might think this phone is expensive. You might be wary of being tied to a tarrif. You might not know much about the Three network. Put your doubts aside - this is the mobile phone bargain of the year. -> WHY I BOUGHT THE e808 Well, simple. It was free. On Pay As You Go. Well, OK, it cost me a penny (for the address verification) - but wow, was it worth that hard-earned 1p!! As I type the phone is available from one online retailer for £9.99 P&P only, and Carphone Warehouse are matching the price in their stores too. With that kind of pricing, you have no excuse but to get a video phone. It's almost 2004 and I feel like my e808 has finally brought retro-futurism to the present day!! -> BUT ISN'T IT A CONTRACT PHONE?? Yes and no. The Three network offer their own flavour of Pay As You Go, called "3 To Go". It is...

sony vaio AR88E

Advantages: massive screen
Disadvantages: large.

...This laptop is the Sony VAIO AR88E. The laptop is made mainly for gaming, watching movies on and various other entertainment needs whilst not compromising the ability to do serious work on these as well. One thing that is compromised though is the portability, entertainment laptops are made to keep at home and not really to carry about with you all the time, so whilst the specification may look good, don?t expect one of these to be very portable. Its mainly black in colour however I like the design ho the screen top part comes over the bottom part of the laptop base slightly so that it gives a more cooler look to the laptop. The installed ram on this laptop is great, it has a massive 2gb which is the main reason this laptop runs so fast, also its intel core 2 duo T7700 which is one of the newest processors makes this laptop run so...

Sony Walkman NW-A808

Advantages: Control, battery life, big screen, sound quality, superior headphones
Disadvantages: A little light in terms of weight but the purchase of a skin eleviates this

...I recently spent 2 weeks working in London and commuting to my office using the tube. Everywhere I looked, people were listening to Ipods. It sort of reminds me of the mobile phone market where Nokia were/have been seen as market leaders and their phones as being "must haves" on people's lists, despite the emergence of other brands such as Sony and Samsung. Up until recently I owned a 30 gig Ipod video. Don't get me wrong, it was ok in terms of sound quality. I thought the battery life (up to 14 hours) sucked and Itunes was the most user unfriendly software I've ever used. So, one day, I read a magazine review of the NW A808, and I bought one. The first thing that strikes you is the size of the screen which is bigger than the Ipod Nano's. The other noticeable thing is its' weight, which sort of makes it feel "flimsy", and as...

Review of Sony Handycam DCR HC51E

Introducing the number one contender- Sony

Advantages: MP3 playback,fantastic audio and video and easy to use
Disadvantages: Software

...~~~~ Introduction ~~~~ Sony vs. IPod With the Apple IPod dominating the market the choice of which MP3 player has always been which iPod should you choose? Well now we have a refreshed Sony product entering the market to give the consumer some choice. Sony has at long last got licensing for MP3 on their range of products and it is this step that will allow them to become a serious contender. All they have to do is offer a player that has the functionality and style offered by the iPods in a market that they dominate. Sony has the brand but do they have the product to match? ~~~~ Product Features ~~~~ Memory Size-8GB 5000+ tracks or up to 30 hours of video Power- Lithium-ion rechargeable battery (30 hours of audio-8 hours of video) Operation- Utilises an interface very similar to that of their mobile phone range...

The Day The Sony E reader Changed My Life

Advantages: It is very useful and very simple to use and it looks and feels fantastic
Disadvantages: The screen isn't backlit, and the zoom only has three sizes

...I love the Sony E reader because since I found this gadget it has made life sitting on a bay for hours on end whle Im in my Lorry a pleasure and no longer a chore. I love the idea of the e reader by Sony, hundreds of books all in one place and all available with the push of a button. I have books all over the cab and they always get filthy and dog eared. I always lose my page when I have to put them down because the red light on the bay changes to green and they want their bay back. Another thing with a paper book is that if you take it into a waiting room , every one can see what your reading ( well the ones who can read anyway) and I'm a little shy about sharing my reading habits especially when I'm picking up the free books in the waiting room at Blacks In Northampton, ( at least I hope theyr'e free). The e reader looks and feels...

Review of Sony Portable Reader PRS-505

Sony's classic

Advantages: Nice to your wallet
Disadvantages: Could do with a longer cable

...Hi, this review is about Sony?s earphone MDR-E755. Manufacturer Sony is a household name, everywhere you go, Sony is there. MP3 player in the car, Playstation in the bedroom, TV in the living room, mobile phones in every pocket. The word sonus, meaning sound in Latin and also the term sonny boy that was used in America, which mean bright youngster, is what was put together to create the name Sony. Sony was founded by Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka in 1946. They were always designing and manufacturing new electronics. One of their first innovations was the automatic rice cooker that was successful. They were originally called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, which is interpreted as Tokyo Telecommunication Engineering Company. Morita and Ibuka earned a living by repairing radios and manufacturing voltmeters. Design This is...

Review of Sony MDR-E 755

Sony DCR DVD201E Camcorder

Advantages: Widescreen mode
Disadvantages: slow access to dvd, no separate memory card slot

...I suspect people may be surpised that I haven't included one of the main USP's (Unique Selling Point) as an advantage. This camcorder writes to mini-dvd's (-R/-RW) but thats not necessarily an advantage. I'll come back to that in a minute. Lets go through the good stuff first. The best thing is the widescreen mode. All TV's sold these days are widescreen and to be honest they have been widescreen for a number of years now so why manufactures have waited so long to release a camcorder with a widescreen mode is beyond me. However Sony have finally done it and its great. I now record footage and play it back on my TV in the correct proportions without any of that faffing about with changing the aspect mode on your TV. Also my wife doesn't appear stretched on TV thus removing all talk about 'Does my bum look big on this TV' Theres...
