Review for SANDISK MICRO SD 1GB CARD:
From the Amazon site this has got to be one of THE best buys I've ever made. I couldn't believe just how inexpensive this card was - Amazon, you're stunning.
The card was purchased for my sons new mobile and it really is as simple as take the stock phone memory card out, pop this baby in, switch the phone on and hey presto! everything works great.
Word of warning - if you do the same consider the type of music your children play and like to play out loud on their phone! lol I now know more Slipnot, Bullet for my Valentine etc., than I ever wanted too.

Review for Fisual Install Series GOLD Plated HDMI Cable 1.5m:
Pleased as punch
I bought this Item for my 360 it it works and gives a sharper picture (it also saves me the faff of having to change to my customised setting on my tv so i can see the images better) It is a great product at a cheap price. For those of you out there with a 360 like me make sure that your 360 has a HDMI port first before you buy!!! the only older 360's that have them are the Elites were as virtually all new 360's do have a HDMI port. This cable for value is i would say the best around and you don't need the official 360 HDMI cable if you do not want the suround sound/stero dongle (or what ever it is called) as the cable provides the sound from the telly! think i have covered everything relevant to me and my purchase apart from I was also extremely happy with the service i received from the seller!5
Review for Sandisk 4GB Micro SD card:
Note. I tried to get advice on compatibility from Nokia. Their telephone helpline said that as the Handbook said it can take 4 Gb then the SDHC card should be OK but, for further advice go to the Carphone Warehouse! The Nokia Online Help e-mailed me back (after 3 days) and told me that the max. compatible memory card was 2 Gb and that 4 Gb cards would not work! I went into my local O2 shop who told me that they had sold plenty of 4 Gb Sandisk Micro SDHC cards (at £49.99 each!) for the Nokia 6500 Slide and had not had any complaints.

Review for Sandisk 4GB Micro SD card:
Nokia 6500 Slide - Compatibility
I bought one of these cards for my Nokia 6500 Slide. I put it straight into the 'phone without formatting and it immediately showed 3.8 Gb (formatted size). I have tried it with still images, video and music and it works perfectly. For copying content from the 256 Mb card which comes with the 'phone, it is best to use the Sandisk adaptor / reader to copy to a folder on the PC, then copy from the folder to the 4 Gb card.Note.

Review for THE88 SONY ERICSSON HPM-70 -BLACK:
Faulty wiring to headphones
The idea of this bit of kit is to allow you to listen to the sound from the phone (MP3 output, radio etc) through in-ear phones rather than the cumbersome and over-large ear pieces supplied with the phone. The idea is perfectly good but unfortunately the headphones supplied with this item were faulty - no sound came through the left ear piece. After much fiddling the sound to the left ear would suddenly become audible, only to disappear again a few seconds later after the slightest movement of the wires to the headphones. However in my case the adapter section worked perfectly well and did enable me to plug in some different head phones pinched from another bit of equipment. I note that other users have reported poor quality construction of this product and potential buyers should be aware that they too might get a faulty item!7
Review for Sony 4GB Memory Stick 'M2' Micro:
Filled the card with music in 14 minutes. From a review I read about a San Disk M2 card, I would recommend paying a few quid extra for the Sony card.
These things are so small though!
It didn't come with an adaptor.

Sony does it again
I bought this a few days ago. Transfer speed is great. My PC is an over clocked (to 3.0ghz) core 2 duo and as such it transfers stuff quickly anyway.Filled the card with music in 14 minutes. From a review I read about a San Disk M2 card, I would recommend paying a few quid extra for the Sony card.

Review for BLACK Genuine Leather Case + FREE screen protector for Sony Walkman Video NWZ-A815, NWZ-A816, NWZ-A818, NWZA815, NWZA816 & NWZA818:
The"free" screen saver was useless: it had a sticky tape on it which would not peel off without leaving a paper residue.

Poor design
I agree with a previous reviewer - the Hold button is engaged when you slip the Walkman into the case which is a nuisance. Would be better if there was a further opening in the case to coincide with the Hold button.The"free" screen saver was useless: it had a sticky tape on it which would not peel off without leaving a paper residue.

Review for iStuff AutoScan FM Transmitter for iPods and MP3 Players and Mobile Phones:
I wasn't expecting top quality and it definately has the background hiss that others refered to, but it does exactly what I wanted, it alows me to listen to my iPod in the car.
I chose this one as it has the battery option that allows me to use it in the house too.
I travel about 25 miles each way to and from work and never have to retune it from the 103.1 that it selected for itself on autoscan.
I love it.
My only reason for marking it down is that it did power itsself off when one of the tracks on the iPod had a rather long gap after it and it was really fiddly trying to switch it back on. I appreciate that it saves energy but perhaps a slightly longer gap before switching off would be better, especially as I had it running from the car's power at the time.
Overall though I really like it and have already recommended it to friends.
I notice the price has gone up since I bought mine though.

Review for Powermonkey Explorer - Emergency Charger For All Your Needs!:
It's great...I can charge my mobile phones, Tomtom 720, Ipod and various other things. There are lots of different connectors.
It is delivered with at least 60% of its power, so it is up to you to top it up. 6 hours on the solar slave will charge it by a third, allowing enough power to fully charge a mobile phone. 3.5 hours to fully charge it by the mains. 6 hours to fully charge via USB.
On the solar charger it has a green light to indicate that it is recieving light. The main unit has an light also; red when it is charging, green when it is fully charged. However, this does depend on the charging source. If it is a dull day and the solar slave isn't picking up too much light, it will only charge the unit most of the way...but the light on the main unit will turn green, making you think it is fully charged. However, if later in the day the sun appears, the light will turn red and the unit will continue to charge to full power. This isn't a major issue because the main screen will indicate whether the unit is fully charged or not.
Overall, an excellent product.

Review for Portable Folding Speakers for Ipods & mp3 players - white:
just the thing for travelling
The speakers were ideal for popping into my holiday bag given the luggage weight restrictions on certain budget airlines. They take a 4 pack of AAA batteries. The sound quality was impressive for a basic little item. I ran my Ipod nano every day on the speakers for a week whilst enjoying the outdoor life and one set of batteries lasted. Well recommended.18
