Advantages: Easy to use writable DVDs in a handy spindle box
Disadvantages: There are cheaper alternatives, though they are inferior!

...How many times have you walked down the aisles of products in your computing/electronic shop, and you are a bit baffled as to which are the best writable DVDs to buy? They come in difference pack sizes - 10, 20, 50, with jewel cases, without jewel cases, plain both sides, with a label on the top side, different prices, can I stop there!? It seems I have found some which have been reliable, easy to label (so important for when you want to track down that disc you recorded last week - if only you could correctly pick it out of all the 5 you recorded, which are ALL unlabelled, and sitting under a heap of newspapers!), easily available, and affordable! The DVDs we have been using in our household to record onto, is Imation DVD +R, 4.7GB. These are DVDs for saving media onto. Such as video files, audio files (if you have a DVD player... Read review

Advantages: High spec, good looks, smallest PDA available and great value for money.
Disadvantages: No intergrated WiFi and less RAM than some PDA's.

...I first became addicted to Pocket PC’s with my HP IPAQ 4150 which was a birthday present from my husband. I quickly found I could not live without it. Then when I came to renew my mobile phone contract I thought “wouldn’t it be great to have a Pocket PC and Phone in one”. A techie friend had showed my his Smartphone but after using a windows based Pocket PC I knew it wasn’t for me – I was clearly spoilt, I needed a user friendly interface and top notch performance. Then my husband introduced to me to i-mate. I browsed the i-mate website, saw the JAM, and knew I had to have it. So what is it… The i-mate JAM is the smallest Windows Pocket PC available. It includes an internal GSM/GPRS Tri-band (900/1800/1900GSM) antenna for voice and data calls - perfect for picking up emails or surfing the web whilst on the move... Read review

Advantages: Their cheapness
Disadvantages: None I have found

...I wanted a pack of cdr's that would burn easily enough without having to dump a load of them in the process. I actually stumbled on these quite by accident, after my usual TDK brand was out of stock. I thought I would give them a try, and I am glad I did, because they burn at a reasonable speed, and have caused me no problems with either the recording of, or the retrieval of data so far, and I have used a few 50 packs now. In fact I can't recall having to throw any away that wasn't my own mistake. Imation are very realistic price at around £15 for a spindle pack of 50, or 100 for £30. As there is no saving on the 100 pack, I generally buy 50 at a time. The pack they come in, is excellent for their storage too, with a spindle to keep them on and a nice twist, clear lid that keeps the discs dust and grime free until you need them... Read review

Advantages: Adventurous, romantic, beaustifully written
Disadvantages: Really annoying hero, really bad ending

...The Odyssey is one of the greatest pieces of literature of all time, and the poem people think of when the word “epic” comes up. But while it is an amazing piece of literature from the point of view of the scholar, and anyone wanting to read it in detail and think a lot about what they’re reading (or who don’t really want to but have to for their A-level Classical Civilisation), as a piece of literature translated into English prose it doesn’t read as well, though many of Odysseus’ famous adventures make good little stories in their own right. The Odyssey expects a degree of knowledge of Greek mythology. Not surprising given that it would originally have been performed before Greeks who lived and breathed their mythological stories. Fortunately, many of the references made to other parts of mythology are the better known ones... Read review

Advantages: It is an interesting series
Disadvantages: It ends with a cliffhanger that it seems will never be resolved

...is a highlight of the storylines. Neil is played by Christopher Gorham who is better known for his most recent role as Betty's love interest in the comedy drama series UGLY Leslie Silva plays Sarah Forbes, a TV newsreader whose main problem is that her son died of cancer. By going back 5 years in time Sarah hopes to stop this horrendous event from ever happening and part of her storylines involve the fact that this is sometimes of more importance to her than the whole planet being destroyed. ODYSSEY 5 is Silva's only regular series to date, she has mainly been seen as a guest star in other TV shows, including CSI Miami. Sebastian Roche (who appears in the new Robert Zemeckis movie BEOWULF) and Tamara Craig Thomas (better known as Detective Mickey Kollander in the crime drama Cold Squad) round out the crew who have been sent back in time...

Advantages: great mix
Disadvantages: none

.... Using his dj skills he makes "MyMyMy" seem likes its fading away put in a downward spiral and then back up again and then dubbing the track. Some great mixing and in comes Talking In Your Sleep. Another original 80s, with a funky guitar riff and becomes clear what a big impression the 80s has had on modern club culture especially in New York. More simple mixing and it jumps straight into a fast tempo electro track "Rocky XIII" by Aloud is a feel good Daft Punk style track. The rest of the cd rounds off with two great electro and 80s style tracks "Let Me Lead You" by Armand himself featuring La Rok and "Fascinated" by Company B. What I love about this cd "New York: A Mix Odyssey" is that it really is a mix odyssey. Armand Van Helden takes you on a journey and captures the New York City vibe of having a good time and partying. He brings out... Read review

Advantages: Fore front in putters
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...it straight when coming in contact with the ball, if you catch the ground slightly it can wabble and often this effects the ball strike so in effect you hit the ball skewwiff! Now the White Hot is a special putter, as all Odyssey putters they are well balanced, so if you imagine a pendullam it sways back and forth in a perfect line, this is what the rossie does. Other Odyssey putters have imaginary white balls behind the face so gives you a better line to look at. The Rossie does not have these white balls to help you instead you have 2 lines that give you a look at the line you are aiming for, once the ball is in front of the face you have around a 5 inch 'line' to give you a guide to where you are aiming the ball. The feel is great in the past ive often hit the ball some 2 feet short on occasions due to the 'feel', the odyssey is easy to use... Read review

Advantages: Excellent allignment, nice even balanced feel.
Disadvantages: Not cheap, takes time to get used to.

...My overall putting ability was never too bad but somedays it can be just plain awful, i decided after much deliberation that i needed a better tool for the job, i was fed up of missing short putts for par and walking away feeling like i could have done better, so i went out and spent £50 for a 2nd hand Odyssey 2 ball white hot putter - im glad i did, mostly. First of all i would like to say that to improve at any sport theres nothing like practice, then more practice, this is especially true for golf, and none more so than the art of putting, after all its on the putting green where you play most of your shots (an average score of 90 would usually entail 35-40 putts, you use the putter more than any other club in your bag), The Odyssey 2 ball white hot putter is no gimme, you wont pick it up and start to hole everything on sight...

Advantages: Immersive story, fantastic graphics, cool characters, huge game.
Disadvantages: Maybe not original enough?

...Lost Odyssey is a Role Playing Game that was created by the same creator behind the legendary Final Fantasy series. Understandably the game had a lot of hype behind it, and in my opinion the game is a huge success. The adventure begins in a battlefield where two heavily armoured sides fight one another, with huge magic driven machines aiding each side. Kaim, the player controlled character is fighting for Uhra, and he single-handed begins to turn the tide of the battle. That is until a mysterious magic force plunges a meteor into the battlefield, killing everyone there. Kaim only survives due to his unique magic abilities that make him an "Immortal". Kaim has lost all of his memories, and on the way to regaining all 1000 years of them he reveals a twisted plot to rule the world, stored in his own brain. It then becomes his duty... Read review
