Advantages: direct replacement for your old head unit..removable front panel,great sound quality.
Disadvantages: not portable..costs to refit in another car...not a D,I,Y job,...

...,and also a clear easy to read screen,which constantly points you in the right direction ...also the blaupunkt travelpilot shows the time of arrival of your journey,which is very usefull as well as mileage left to go on your trip..counting down as you get nearer to your destination.. The travelpilot is also ideal for finding petrol stations,airports..town centres,places of interest anywhere! it has memory for our favourite/last journeys too! the traffic message channel keeps you informed of any delays ahead,while the sat nav system will reroute your journey to the best possible route! all at the press of a button! YOU CAN AVOID TOLLS IF YOU WISH..not allways possible i'm sure,but nice to have the option ...Both my drivers like the systems,and get on well with them.Even though,i have heard on the odd occastion,that they have got abit confused...

Advantages: An idea if you really don't know the area.
Disadvantages: Limited, outdated mapping, not so easy to use

...In our brand new Fiesta, delivered this month, the Blaupunkt TravelPilot comes fitted in a unit combined with the radio. To try this system out, over a period of three weeks, and a total of about 600 miles, entirely within my home county of West Yorkshire, i ran the TravelPilot alongside my own local knowledge of the area built up over 17 years of driving around the area. To enter a destination it is necessary to go through a menu and a series of entries not wholly unlike entering a text message on a mobile phone. There is a form of predictive texting, which can be quite useful. The problem I found, though, was that before I could find the way to, say, Huddersfield Police Station I needed to know what road it is in. There seems to be no provision for places like hospitals or police stations as destinations. Back to the Ato... Read review

Advantages: Preserving food, fending off bacteria
Disadvantages: Allergic reactions, use of animal derived ingredients, affect on children

...After reading a review by 'halibut' on Jelly Babies, and finding out about the alarmingly high number of E numbers they contain (and the even scarier details of the descriptions of these), I decided to do some research of my own. Here is the outcome... (Beware, do not read on if you are easily offended as some of my findings are not pleasant to say the least) ~~~ What are E numbers ?~~~ E Numbers are a list a additives added to food products. The 'E' actually stands for European Communities and signifies that an additive has been accepted as safe by the EU; different countries determine which additives can and can't be used in food produced within that country, although the pre-fix is not necessarily a true indication of this (some non 'E' additives are legal in the UK for example). ~~~How do they work...

...We live in an everchanging society in which we are constantly being informed of new discoveries linked to scientific research regarding the food that we consume. Many of us have adjusted our diets to reflect the information that we have been given. There are now guidelines on our food packaging and guidelines in the media that surrounds us, most of which would seem completely alien to generations before us. We are all aware of salts and fats affecting our cholesterol and hearts. However there is another hidden nasty lurking within many of our foods, E numbers. What are E numbers? E numbers are food additives that are used to enhance the flavour of our food or to add colour, they are also added to preserve food. Some are used as thickeners and some as sweeteners. The E is the letter that comes before... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful retro design, huge screen, never crashes!
Disadvantages: Potential build quality problems, lack of preinstalled memory

...The eMac is the first computer I have ever bought off-the-shelf from a large computer store. Since I've been an IT nut since I was a child, this has always been an ambition of mine... and the eMac was special enough for me to bypass the second-hand market for the first time. I spent a lot of money on this machine - and it has been money well spent. --> WHAT IS AN 'E' MAC? The eMac was originally Apple's flagship machine for education - schools, universities and so on. Thanks to popular demand from Mac lovers, Apple decided to make it available to the general public. If you look closely at the design, you can see how the design came about. The front is relatively featureless - although it borrows the old iMac's shape and the new eMac's colour scheme, later models now have fixed speaker grilles (to prevent theft) and a case which...

Advantages: His unique voice!
Disadvantages: This is his first album, he got better with time...

...This is the second review I have written of an album by the singer E (Mark Oliver Everett), and is the first of the 2 solo albums that he released in 1992. I wrote another review of the album because like I guessed, many people seemed to have not heard of E releasing solo albums before he created the group Eels, who were publicised to a much greater extent. I heard music from Eels about 6-7 years ago when my friend introduced me, and once I had collected some of their albums (I now have them all), I found online by chance that E (Mark Oliver Everett – the lead singer of Eels) had brought out some solo albums before creating Eels. A Man Called E was the first solo album brought out, followed by Broken Toy Shop. It attracted me when I saw it, as the front cover to the album is of E sitting at a baby toy piano which I thought...

Advantages: Fantastic design, sleak finish and packed with features
Disadvantages: Quite large and no camera

...I have recently had the pleaseure of obtaining an upgrade on my current mobile phone contract to the Nokia E61 3G Smartphone. I have to admit that visually this phone appears to be the cutting edge of technology with its attractive screen and miriad of features. The most noteable being the full QWERTY keyboard incorporated into the handsets design. ------------------------ The Manufacturer ------------------------ Nokia are a world famous company. Its roots are set way back in 1865 when Fredrik Idestam establishes of all things a paper mill in Finland. Of course mobile phones did not exist in 1865 and over the years as technology advanced so mobiles were born. This all started with Nokia around 1979. The first mobile phone network was established in 1981 - Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT). The first Nokia Mobile was released in 1987... Read review

Advantages: Fast, cheap, stable, excellent support and v good manual
Disadvantages: Requires a minimum of Win ME upwards

...Ive been using the MSi 845E max (6566e) motherboard for the past 2 years and it still performs as stable now as it did back then. The board itself is very well packaged and comes with all the usual extras including drivers CD and IDE cables for both CD-roms/hard drives and floppy disc aswell as an excellently informative and well laid out manual. The 845E Max by MSi supports all Pentium 4 processors as well as Celerons upto 3.06 ghz using the built in 845E Intel chipset and includes full support for both 133mhz front side bus (FSB) quad pumped (133 x 4 = 533 fsb) Pentium 4's and 184 pin PC 2100 (266mhz) DDR memory upto 2 ghz, there are 2 available memory slots which is plenty for most people and i whole heartedly recommend firstly adding 1 x 512mb of DDR to the motherboard so as to leave 1 free DDR slot if you ever chose to add...

Advantages: Fast, powerful, durable, 24/7
Disadvantages: Software instability, Expensive software, looks

...Toshiba e310, is consequently E330 with few improvements like extra 32MB memory and a 300mhz CPU instead of 206Mhz on e310. overall looks and afeel is the same. I have to say straight away, - This is a greatest PDA, or should I say Pocket Computer I’ve had so far. The Design, well, it Is quite stylish, by means of being very thin, light. But. The could be some alterations done to the design, so it would be easier to hold it, and more innovative and imaginative style with some smooth lines or something. Apart from this I see it was designed Bold, for professional use. GUI interface and navigation. I have seen many OS for PDA’s, SUCH AS Palm, Epoc 32, etc. But as the most are equipped with Windows ® installed on then, having Pocket PC with Windows 2002 has it’s great benefits and potential. There is plenty of software available... Read review

Advantages: All the functions you could ever need, high quality screen, high quality audio
Disadvantages: Poor battery life

...Say hello to the SPV E100… The new updated E100 once again redefines what a Smartphone should be. This time Orange has got the formula for success perfect, and allows you to be productive whenever and wherever you are in the world. It’s a new generation; it’s the start of a revolution and the continual evolution of the mobile phone. It’s the notion that such a device could exist and yet be small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and light enough to carry around all day, which inspires and excites me at the same time. Its predecessor has sparked a community which rapidly evolved into a cult. Its followers worship their smart phones on a regular basis. Has it gone as far as someone building a shrine for it? Who knows? Maybe. I wouldn’t be surprised if their was one. The point I’m trying to make is that theirs a dedicated... Read review
