Product Name: Series 7
Made By: Psion Teknologix
Category: Computers
Subcategory: PDA's
Published: August 01, 2008 08:19
Overall Rating:
Created in 1999, the Series 7 was the last, and greatest PDA created by Psion. Resembling nothing more or less than a tiny clamshell laptop, this PDA folds up to something roughly the size and weight of a hardback novel. Whilst this is quite a bit bulkier than your average Palm or Blackberry, this is no way a disadvantage, given the features, and still weighs in far less than a typical laptop.&...

My Zire 21 was something I bought for my father as a beginner's, entry level PDA about 5 years ago. When he died in 2005, I ended up inheriting it, and it's been extremely useful. Let's not beat around the bush here; this is about as basic a Palm as you will get nowadays. 8Mb of onboard memory, black and white screen (or technically, black and irritating greenish-grey screen), ...

"Sure unscented antiperspirant"
'Unscented' is always a dangerous claim to make, and it definitely is the case with Sure here; there's obviously no 'added' scent to it, like lavender or menthol or whatever else companies feel obliged to throw into deodorants nowadays, but there's a definite lingering odor that hangs around when you spray it, like 'new car odor'. This is probably the propellant ...

"American Gods, by Neil Gaiman"
I think this was the first actual novel by Neil Gaiman that I ever picked up: I'd read Don't Panic, his biography-cum-review of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy years ago, long before he became known for his own stuff. And of course, I'd worked my way through the Sandman graphic novels which took him from aspiring author to multi-million best seller. But someh...

I ended up owning this after my Creative Zen Touch 40Gb finally died on me; I'd had bad experiences with their customer support since buying it (with a completely different product mind), and I was damned if I was going to buy anything else from Creative. So, I naturally decided to try the competition. I wish I'd done this this two years ago. It does everything the Zen did, and whi...

The GP32 is a small scale console released for the homebrew market, to moderate success. While commercial games are available for it, its strength lies in emulation; practically any 8-bit platform you can think of has emulation software compatible with it, include NES, SNES, Genesis/Megadrive, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and many others. The console looks remarkably like a Gameboy advance, ...

"The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenger"

He is a hip librarian; she is a beautiful art student. Henry has never met Clare before; Clare has known Henry since she was six..." Henry suffers from Chrono-displacement disorder. Without warning, ...

I suffered with dry skin on the heels of my feet for years, and I'd not managed to find anything that'd shift them effectively. Then I picked up one of these Ped Eggs. If you haven't seen them, they're effectively a cheese grater for your feet. You might be cringing already, but to be honest, I've never had a problem with them. First time I used it, it took about twenty...

"Whisker City Catnip Bubbles"
A simple enough product, and one that there's many other brands of; a bottle of soap bubbles like you'd get the kids, but with a catnip scent to them. That's literally it, according to the ingredients: Water, soap, catnip oil.Unfortunately, it's a bit naff. You know how when you blow regular bubbles, you get a huge stream of them cascading out? With these, you're lucky to ge...

"A Short History of Nearly Everything"
I've long been a fan of Bill Bryson and his dry, not-quite-Amercian, not-quite-British wit, and this is possibly his best book to date. As he notes in the introduction, one day he was struck by the arresting thought that he knew very little about the world worked; didn't know a protein from a proton. He was seized with an urge to find out just not what we know, but how on Earth they man...
