Advantages: Small, compact and robust. Good battery life when new.
Disadvantages: Slow to write images to disk, short battery life after prolonged use

...We bought the Kyocera S4 about 3 years ago after doing a lot of research into camera. Not being keen photographers, we wanted a camera that was easy to use but that took good quality photos. At first we were very pleased with the S4. The picture quality is great and at 4 mp the files are reasonable sized. The 16mb card that came with the camera had to be replaced as at "fine" quality we could fit about 10 photo's on there. We bought a 256mb and can fit about 80 photo's on. The battery is a rechargeable one and this is one of the reasons to buy the camera. We had previously bought a Pentax camera and were very disappointed at how quickly we were going through AA batteries. The S4 had a quick recharge time and long life, enabling you to fill the memory card before needing a recharge, however 3 years on and the battery last... Read review

...I bought the Kyocera Finecam S4 in November 2003. It was my first digital camera and being my son was due to be born soon I thought it should be a good quality one. After looking around to see what I could get for around £250, I found the Finecam S4 on offer. I liked the look of it so decided that I would give it a try after being told that it took very good quality pictures. So what do you get in the box: The 4 Megapixel Finecam S4 Camera 16MB Panasonic Secure Digital (SD) Card BP-900S Li-ion rechargeable battery AC Adapter / Charger USB and Video cables Wrist strap Pixela ImageMixer software Manual and Quick start guide The camera itself falls into the category of 'micro camera'. It measures just 3.8 x 2.2 x 1.2 inches and sits very easily in your hand. And if that wasn't enough it weighs in at a measly 175g... Read review

Advantages: Verry Small But Gives High Qulity Pictures 3x zoom
Disadvantages: Slight barraling When taking pictures without zoom

...Before to Buying this camera, I had tried other cameras in the ultra-compact category. None of which came close to the quality and sharpness of the S4. It is packed full of feachers. including the video mode is not bad to for e-mailable video greetings and the time laps mode is very good The battery life is quite good even with flash a problem with this camara is that the power button and shooting button are too close together and the wrong way round. All in all this is a very good camara for its size and wate and the unique lens design gives very good qulity picturs and a flush fitting lense on a camara 2cm wide.

Advantages: Portable, quick to turn on/off, very easy to set up and use.
Disadvantages: Loud cooling system, rubbish internal speaker.

...I bought 10 Epson EMP S4 projectors for school I work for at summer 2006. Below you will find my personal opinion after one year of using and maintaining that product, but first short description. Epson EMP S4 is updated (in 2006) version of EMP S3. Epson's EMP S(x) line of projectors is design to suit mobile and office users. And it does it perfectly. It's small (33X25X9cm) and light (2.6kg). It comes with small remote control and a bag with shoulder strap. It's brightness (1800 ANSI lumens) and resolution (800x600) is sufficient to display presentation (text, photos and short movies) at 2-6m distance onto white wall or whiteboard (usage professional project screen will improve image brightness and sharpness) in bright room. It has three types of video inputs (15 pin VGA, S-video and composite video input), so at the same time... Read review

Advantages: It works...but
Disadvantages: Little more to pay+does it work?

...Right my first review so bear with me. Ok firstly i have bought a new car wich exceeds limits swiftly,but i dont condone speeding. Secondly i paid £2k to make it faster,(ditto above) Hence buying a SNOOPER S4,for which i paid £279 + £100 for the additional radar detector. First up,to actually make this thing work you need to register online because it wont work otherwise(security so say) to register it costs!!!!!! Now i paid about a hundred quid for 3yrs which includes updates for that period.So you have to be online(or do a lenghty phone session). The downloading and updating is very simple and please dont be put off by this. Once this is done its a real doddle,just plug in to your cigar lighter and go. Does it work? Yes,superb so far and living in Bournemouth it goes of often. There is a pleasant ladies voice advising... Read review

Advantages: Lots of great features, very durable, good price
Disadvantages: Disadvantages? Yeah right!

...quality (Less distortion). Headphone Socket: Obviously, this is to plug in headphones; it is on the side of the unit. Belt Clip: That’s right, this plastic clip lets you attach the Aiwa HS-TX486 to your waist, which I useful if you are out and about. I clip it to my waist, hidden under a longish coat or T-Shirt, and have the headphones going up through my coat so that I don’t look like a fool with wires all over the place. POWER SOURCES ************************ You have two options – electrical mains connection or, the usual choice, batteries. This Walkman takes two size AA batteries, which can be inserted, in a crucially easy-to-open, sliding door compartment on the bottom of the unit. There is a display on the screen to show remaining cell life, like on many mobile phones, which is very useful. The batteries... Read review

Advantages: Speed, versatility, capability, and ease of use!
Disadvantages: Doesn't play well with Vista (then again what does?)

...as for writing. #4. WiFi is available! My Palm T/X picks up WiFi at the local university, nearly every fast food place and major hotel chains as well as our local library...for free. I can surf the net, check my e-mail, and generally do what I would be doing on my bulky desktop or slightly less cumbersome laptop. #5. Plenty-O-Software Applications! I never have to worry that I won't be able to find an entertaining game or interesting application for my PDA. There are still a lot of Palm OS designers out there who are making some really GOOD stuff! Unlike other systems which seem to have a perpetual "COMING SOON" attitude toward software, Palm is more like "...THIS JUST IN!" I hope that helps...now for the Not-so-good I don't like the incompatibility with Vista. I have a brand new laptop which came with Vista installed and even with the latest... Read review

Advantages: Gives voice alerts rather than bleeping, shuts up if you are driving below the speed limit, tells you the reported speed of the road, records and monitors your speed limit, you can record your own high risk zones
Disadvantages: Database is not up to date, laser detect is questionable

...NOTE: This is not a radar detector unless you purchase the S4r-neo or the optional Snooper S100 RLD unit for around an extra £100. I do a fair amount of driving in my work and my personal life, and have, for some time been getting more and more paranoid over the increasing number of fixed and mobile speed cameras around. Between my house and my daughter’s boyfriends, there are no less than 5 cameras, a slight slip and that’s 15 points on your licence and an instant ban. Now I am not manic driver by any stretch of the imagination. However, a near miss with a police van just outside my office about 6 weeks ago, while moving with the flow of the traffic, I got hit doing about 34 in a 30 zone getting me rather worried. I spent a few restless nights waiting for that ticket to arrive in the post, thankfully it didn’t. It did... Read review

Advantages: Size, price, quality of sound
Disadvantages: Space, its big but it wont take your whole harddrive.., headphones arent amazing

...on your player, the scroll button makes finding the track you want very quick and easy, the great thing also is that you can arrange your songs into folders ( so a folder for each band or album) this makes finding the song twice as fast ! The sound reproduction is brilliant, they are a number of eq settings, as well as a 5 band graphic equaliser. the built in microphone also allows you to record audio, the quality isnt amazing, but it is good as a voice recorder, and you can get about 16 hours of voice dictation. The tx has 256 mb of space and holds around 4 hours of music, or double that if you use wma files, which is really good, on average thats about 100 tracks . which is a lot of music, The battery is aaa which have a good life time, Tt is dependant on the volume u have on, obvisuly the louder u have the quicker it will run down...
