Touch Screen Fun

Advantages: Original, nice looking, sturdy
Disadvantages: Limited range of games

...screen. It really is excellent, and makes the DS worth the money. It is accurate, generally easy to control and the screen doesn't scratch permanently (you do get temporary scratches, but these rub off easily). There is a handy holder for the stylus on the side so it'll be quite difficult to lose it. There is also a D-Pad and four buttons for non-touch screen games, which are clear and easy to use. Another control is the microphone - I have only used this for 'blowing' games, not 'talking' games, however my experience of it is negative. It doesn't work, and you'll give yourself a nasty headache trying to blow into it anyway. -Extras- The range of extras are things like an alarm, a Wi-Fi chatroom and a customisable profile. You can also change the colour of the start-up screen to suit your tastes. These extras are neat, but nothing to...

Touch Magic

Advantages: Great sound quality, great applications
Disadvantages: Battery Life, Fingerprints, could be better

...Reserved and Collected the item, then you?d get a free Itunes Gift Card. This deal is still on till the 29th July, so if you?re reading this before this date, go check it out. About the IPod Touch I?m sure that almost all of you have heard of IPod?s now. Developed by Apple Inc back in 2001, whom are possibly one of the biggest names in music technology, they have now released many different types of IPod?s, all of which are suited to a specific user. An IPod is a portable media player, it doesn?t run off AA or AAA batteries like MP3 players, it has a built in battery which you charge up using a number of different ways. The IPod Touch released in 2007 is a not only just a portable media player, it?s also a personal digital assistant. It is the only IPod or anything of its kind really to have Wi Fi installed within the IPod...

Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

...No digital camera review on CIAO would be complete without a few entries about cameras designed for kids. After all, kids are almost universally enthusiastic about taking pictures. And parents with a love of photography often pass down their passion to their children. But digital cameras are not always kid-friendly, due to fragile construction, price, or complicated menus and buttons. The newest trend in children's electronics is a group of digital cameras made especially for small children. These cameras are easy to hold, come in bright colors that kids love, and have many of the same features as grown-up digital cameras. Kids love them. The VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera is one of the top digital cameras for kids. This camera was made with fun in mind. Kids like the KidiZoom's large LCD screen and the onboard photo editing options...

Sony Cyber-Shot Digital Camera

Advantages: Anti shake feature
Disadvantages: None

...Sony Cyber-Shot Digital Camera My review is about the digital camera model Sony - DSC S730, I personally own one of these cameras and have so for around four months, I purchased mine after my previous Sony camera got broken, I am definitely a loyal Sony customer so purposely went looking for another Sony digital camera of maybe a bit more advanced quality and settings than my old one. I looked in various places and eventually looked at Tesco Extra's electrical section it was just the right price I was looking to pay, I compared it in my mind to the other Sony cameras on offer at the same shop and also some of other brands and chose this as the one I was going to buy. I paid £90 for this model of camera all though I have been to the same shop since and it has gone down in price, isn't it always the way. You can buy this digital camera...

A "Touch" of Class

Advantages: Widescreen, Wi-Fi, Easy to Use
Disadvantages: Outer Shell Shows Dirt, Slightly Pricey, Speaker Volume Is Low

...When purchasing my iPod Touch 32Gb, I must admit that I did have my doubts over the hefty price tag. But nearly a year later it's nice to know that my money has been well spent! Design: The most striking and obvious feature of this iPod is it's beautiful design. Very appealing to the eye, and with a slick chrome finish, the Touch is a very classy product indeed. However, in my own opinion, the chrome finish can easily get smudged which can become irritating for people (like myself) who like to keep their iPod in pristine condition. But there are solutions to this, such as protective cases, which can be purchased for a relatively decent price. The screen is generously large and with a very crisp finish it makes navigation and video playback a real pleasure. Also, a really nice feature which wasn't present on the previous model...

Great Case For Sony Cyber-Shot Camera

Advantages: Wrist wrap, Leather case and good protection
Disadvantages: None

...The Sony Cyber Shot LCSNA is a case for the Sony Cyber Shot digital camera. I bought this to basically protect my digital camera is it's small and delicate. The other reason I got this case was that the camera is small and I just wanted it in a casing so it would be easier to handle and it wouldn't just slip out of my pocket easily. The case itself is black in colour, compact and light in design just like the camera and snugly holds the camera. The case is made from genuine leather and comes with a wrist strap for easy carrying and accessibility when you're out and about. The Cyber Shot logo is also embedded on the outside flap of the case which itself is Velcro for easy access. Main information: - Wrist strap - Black colour - Leather - Dimensions (WxDxH) 10.8 cm x 3.8 cm x 7.6 cm Overall the Sony Cyber Shot LCSNA case is...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot LCSNA Case Digital photo camera

The image is clearer with Sony

Advantages: Compact, easy to use and great results, (even for the novices)
Disadvantages: terribly small internal memory, smallish buttons, (but nothing to complain about)

.... Don?t get me wrong, I am by no means a professional photographer, to me a camera should be able to take a picture with as much ease as possible. I like the ?idiot proof? system most compact digital camera?s offer as it makes my life taking snaps a lot easier, so when I read the information booklet that comes with this Sony cyber-shot W220 I was happy to discover that this was one of those idiot proof camera?s I so liked. Firstly, let us get the specs out of the way? * Size of the unit is approximately 95 x 56 x 22 mm * 12.1 mega pixels * Weighing in at around 5 oz (145g) * Built in microphone and speaker * 2.7 inch LCD viewing screen. * Face recognition with priority * Scene recognition * Optical zoom * 4 times digital zoom * Self timer * Dynamic Range optimizer * Steady shot stabiliser * Smile detection...

Sony Digital Video Camera Recorder

Advantages: Hi Resolution, 8mm tapes, hand-cam size, reliable.
Disadvantages: Just eye-piece viewfinder.

...I bought my Sony Digital Video Camcorder (DCR-TR7000) as a new millennium present to myself to take to London and get some shots from the top of the Millennium Wheel. All right it was about 10 months late because the Wheel wasn't operating for several months if I remember correctly. When we booked it, I did not fancy taking my SVHS Panasonic Camcorder because a), it was too big and heavy to hump around London and b), because it had let me down several times and couldn't be relied upon. I bought the Sony in Comet's on an end-of-line deal reduced to just under £400 from around £600 at the time. The next newest model had and adjustable LCD screen and the TR7000 didn't. This didn't bother me too much because to view the LCD screen meant I had to put on my reading glasses to see it properly, an activity which causes problems with our...

Canon IXUS 95 IS: The best amateur digital camera on the market

Advantages: Very high quality pictures for both print and web work.
Disadvantages: The bundled software that comes with it has a very Fisherprice feel about it.

...After reading many reviews on Amazon and amateur camera sites about the different types of hobbyist level digital cameras, I decided to buy one of these. The camera itself has a metal casing and so has a sleek feel and look to it. It's very light weight and compact making it very easy to carry around in a handbag or while, (and most importantly) taking pictures! I found that it took only 5 - 10 minutes to get the camera working from out of the box. It was so simple, I didn't take that much notice of the manual. When starting up the camera, it isn't slow like they digital cameras of yesteryear. Its ability to capture anything in an instant is one of it's many advantages. The photos it and you produce are very high quality, as I found out the other day when I had some printed off at home. The only downside is the bundled software...

  iPod Touch 8GB

Advantages: intuitive, stylish, fun, great music player, variety of features, internet function
Disadvantages: fingerprints! no camera, no built in speakers, only available in black currently

...traffic information, which is really useful. The map includes little pins showing the location of all of your contacts based on your address book. The map is easy to use and allows you to zoom in and out using the touch screen as well as to slide around the map to look at different areas. A brilliant feature! Calendar. This is the feature, which I feel transforms the iPod Touch from being far more than just a music player and moving into the realms of being a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant). I rarely use the calendar function on my mobile phone or other digital technologies as they are simply too difficult to use and it is easier to use a traditional paper diary! However, the calendar function in the iPod Touch is really intuitive and useful. Due to the size of the screen, it makes it easy to use as an organiser. I have recently...
