Touche Eclat..... ain't all that!!

Advantages: Lasts ages.
Disadvantages: Too expensive.

...I am 23 and have suffered with hideous dark circles under my eyes for as long as I can remember! I have tried numerous lotions and potions to get rid of or conceal them and a friend recommended Touch Eclat a few years ago. This product in legendary alongside the likes of Elizabeth Ardens 8 hour cream and has been around for many years. However, in my opinion this product doesn't deserve it's legendary status. You are paying for the pretty gold packaging and the brand name. I believe that the darker shade (II) is too dark and the lighter shade (I) is far too light! This product gives you the opposite effect of panda eyes! It gives you glaring white circles around your eyes! Because of its light reflecting properties when someone takes a photo of you all you see is these stupid white circles.... grrrr! You cpould say it does the job...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Touch Magic

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

...With the birthday money I got I wanted to spend it on something special, something that I would use a lot and wouldn?t just stick it in the cupboard at the end of the day. My younger sister?s birthday is 2 weeks after mine, and she wanted to buy an IPod, so I decided to give her mine for a little bit of money, and then buy this. She now is buying her own, new IPod so I?ve lost a little bit of money but I still brought this. Purchasing I purchased my IPod touch pretty quickly, I found a deal on Curry?s website which meant I had to pick up the IPod within a few hours, but it was worth it for the deal I got. I was willing to pay the £165 that you will pay for this item, but I wanted something else, something that made it worth spending the £165. Luckily the one and only day I checked the currys website, they had a deal on. If you...

iTouch

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: Nono

...I am not going toi pretend that I can inform you of everythng there is to know on the iPod Touch, they are so extensive in there functions i think it would just be boring you anyway! Let me start from the beginnning, I saved up for the christmas just gone, and i wanted to buy my two younger brothers something which they would really appreciate and enjoy. A friend said why don't i buy them one of these, now don't get me wrong, i know what an iPod is, but i had no idea about an iTouch, therefore I was reluctant to spend £170 each on them. When I first saw them, I was a little disappointed, I would have thought that Apple would offer you some inclusive accessories with the £170 iPod that you are buying, but really i was just a black thing in a small clear case. On inspection of the item i realised that it is a very smart and very...

iTouch!

Advantages: Packed with applications, very handy and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Keyboard is hard to use, no flash player and not very durable without a case.

...If it was not for the fact that I needed more than 16GB at the time of buying my 160GB iPod Classic, I would've bought one of these. Obviously now, there is the 32GB iPod Touch, but this is still not enough. The iPod touch therefore is for people who have some money to spend and just want to put their CD's onto the iPod. It is packed with features and in essence is a PDA without the office applications. It comes pre-loaded with Safari (Apple's own web browser), the iTunes store, built in iPod, a special YouTube application for viewing Youtube videos and many other features. Firstly, while I'm thinking about it, the iPod touch doesn't come with a flash player, which is the reason why there's a special YouTube application. This means that when browsing safari, you can't watch embedded video clips or clips off other video sharing sites...

A Touch Too Much?

Advantages: App store, built in speaker, external volume control
Disadvantages: None (so far)

...I've used an iPod since they released their second generation, original iPod with the touch wheel that lit up red. I then replaced that with a 30gb iPod Video in Black which has lasted me quite a while and still works brilliantly. With the launch of the 2nd generation iPod Touch, I have decided to upgrade again. I was setting my heart on the price of the iPhone on O2 PAYG being reasonable, but I may have been a little deluded in thinking that Apple would make it competitive enough that it wouldn't make a dent in most people's savings. So when they released it at £350 for an 8GB, I focused on the Touch instead. I ordered it direct from Apple on Sunday evening and it arrived on Tuesday via UPS, so the speed was excellent beings as the website stated it would take 3-5 business days to ship. Unfortunately it arrived too late in...

ipod touch review

Advantages: Attractive, easy to use touch screen and applications
Disadvantages: Expensive and the headphones are not very durable

...In my opinion the iPod touch is the best in the MP3 player category. With features such as the applications and album artwork it is much more than just a music playing device. However, I would recommend most music listeners to go for a higher memory option. The headphones are not very durable however, and are expensive to replace. That s one drawback of the iPod, all the accessories and software updates tend to be expensive. With the accessories it may be best to look elsewhere than the official Apple products as there are good alternatives. Unless you want a simple music player, in which case I would recommend the iPod shuffle, I think this easily beats the competition in attractiveness and, like most Apple products, just being cool! Its is not the cheapest in its category, but I think it is without a doubt the best....

iPod Touch

Advantages: Very cool and sexy, Packed with features, Good sound quality through headphones,
Disadvantages: Built in speaker quality, battery when online, durability, and price (but its Apple so y'know :) )

...up with Hotmail and most other email providers. Now... the bad bits.... Of course this is made by Apple, so it will have a crazy price tag however I have found that of all my iPods this is the best value for money as you have so many features, many of which I use regularly and aren't just gimmicks! The built in speaker in the 2nd generation iPod touch is incredibly disappointing. The sound is tinny and worse quality than most mobile phones, so is not a feature worth having at all. In fact i find it irritating as when i click Play when my headphones aren't plugged in my music plays and sounds horrrible! very embarrassing. Overall the iPod touch is very easy to use, however some of the free applications have glitches, which is understandable as most are still in development. When I have had problems the Apple support online has been...

  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

...thanks to the size of the screen. It is another handy feature, which you will probably only use occasionally but it is nice to have on there. Stocks This feature is not one that really interests me (mainly because I don't really understand stocks!) and I doubt I would ever really use it however it enable you to check the stock market by just tapping the menu icon. iTunes iTunes is where you can purchase music, videos, games, audiobooks and tv shows. It is the application you will need to install on your computer to be able to link your iPod Touch to your computer in order to transfer music etc. iTunes is free to download to your computer and for convenience is already installed on the iPod Touch. It is also now possible to rent movies on iTunes much in the way you would do from a video store just all online! It...

Touch of absolute genius!

Advantages: Too much to list here!
Disadvantages: Other people wanting to use it all the time!

...Hi All. Well, where do you start with this bit of genius? My lovely wife got me this for last Xmas, and I have used it to death (well almost). I already had a Creative mp3 player that I used a fair bit when out walking the mutt, but I sometimes wouldn't use it for weeks at a time. But the touch is just so irresistible and useable that I use it every day. If all the PC's are in use I'll look something up using the touch. But it really is annoying that there is no flash player support on it (why isn't there?) The rest of the family have got Nano's and by comparison they're really basic and featureless. One bad point is that the volume doesn't go very high and I was on a flight recently and watching a movie (admittedly with a slightly quiet sound track) I struggled to pick up the dialogue. It's totally indispensible on holiday. It does have...

Touch like an iPod

Advantages: Quality is brilliant and all the functions are Useful
Disadvantages: Fingerprints and Scratches

...anyone. The looks are exquisite but I think more thought is needed for the functionality of the reverse as it scratches so easily. Durability I haven't dropped it yet as I'm really overprotective of it but it scratches very easily on the back and also traps finger prints on the screen. I also think that the touch screen is liable to go wrong and it controls the iPod so that if this breaks the whole iPod stops functioning. Ease of using iTunes This was the next thing that I did when I got my iPod, it includes Quick Time but I think that the iPod needs to come with a CD rather than having to download it. I think that the interface is really good and it now uses the internet to get all of the album details into your computer which makes it very easy to add more music. The iTunes store is now a great deal better and means that podcasts...
