I got my new i-pod and it is the first time I am using i-pod touch. This product completely sucks and it doesnt come with how to use manual.

I am using it as a paperweight now.

Apple guys….keep the things simple. You have a lot to learn from Zune and some other MP3 players to keep your ‘jobs’

Although I’m in my forties, I really enjoyed this series of the Miracle Girls its nice, clean, well written and it deals with things that actually happen with girls in high school. I can’t wait until the next book comes out..

So finally, after a long and epic hype about the Twilight saga, I took the plunge…. I read it in two days!

Twilight is such an easy read leaving you bubbling inside with little hearts and cupids flying all around you. It took me back to my first-love and the agony of teenage turmoil. Changing schools, making new friends, forbidden love, hope, fear, excitement and a sense of formidable anguish at the thought of losing someone so vital to your existence – it strikes a chord and I am sure many, many people relate in so many categories – probably why this saga has taken the world by storm!

I have to admit that I saw the film before reading the book – always a bad move, but I enjoyed it immensely. As an adult, you have to take the book for what it is – young, teenage love filled with mythical creatures. I loved it!!! It is so well written and descriptive filling in all the gaps left out of the film (obviously). After reading the book I am now not overly convinced about Robert Pattinson cast as Edward. He’s cute and handsome in many ways, but Stephenie really put the bar high when she created his character. I think Kristen (Bella) is excellent and all throughout the book you can really imagine her voice, face and mannerisms in dialogue and monologue. The story leaves you wanting more, filling you with hope and promise at every turn of the page!

I will undoubtedly recommend this series! An unequivocal thumbs up!

I love this device. It is easy to see. I don’t get eye strain. It is so light that it is easy to hold. My arthritis is so that holding a regular book was painful. I don’t have that problem with the Kindle. I would recommend this item to anyone who reads for enjoyment. I would hate to be without it. I have one problem with it. I can not download the items at home. I need to go 17 miles into town to download my new books and then find it hard to find a place that I get service. I think this is just because I live in a rual community.

Since so many people have reviewed this item, I thought I would be more location specific and also mention a few points that might not be obvious.

One. I live in Modiin, Israel. The GPS maps the route but unfortunately (and I expected this) the Garmin maps are non-existent for Modiin. I suspect that this might change now that Garmin are selling GPS for cars here in Israel. The ability to view your route in Google Earth is cute to, but the roads don’t display in Google Earth either. Neither of these things are actually a problem at all for running but I thought I should point it out.

The GPS has multiple configurable screens and I like to have one of the screens displaying (amongst other things) the GPS accurance. This shows you how accurate and quickly it gets a reading. For some of my run the accurance is 8m which is very impressive.

I also love the fact that you can switch the light on and leave it on for the run. I go out for an hour in the morning and it’s usually before sunrise (which is also one of the options so you can see what time it’s going to get late). It’s nice to have the light on the whole time. I plug in the watch into my laptop to sync and whilst it’s syncing it also charges and quite kindly lets you know when charging is complete.

I’ve only had this a week and used it for 4 runs, but so far I’m very happy.
