rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author zhany2 - NOTE: This review is for the Archos 605 Wifi with 4 GB of flash RAM. The 80 GB 605 Wifi has the same form factor, though probably with a slightly reduced battery life. Like a lot of people, I have been looking for a video player to use on my daily...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zhany2 - I have been a Nikon camera user for a very long time, starting with a Nikon FE (a manual 35 mm body) my father gave me in 1984. The Nikon FE, combined with a Nikon 50 mm f/1.4 lens, served me well until the middle of 2004, when I acquired a Nikon D70...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zhany2 - The quest for a perfect laptop is difficult. I’ve owned and used many laptops, including a previous Sony, a Compaq, a Dell, and an IBM ThinkPad T41. Of those, the ThinkPad has been by far my favorite. I have only some minor complaints against it,...

A phone for Europa and Beyond

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author zhany2 - For those of us who travel to Europe, the issues of cell phones are problematic. This is because chances are very good that the cell phone you have in the US will not work in Europe. Spread Spectrum and CDMA There are two major mobile access...

Great MP3 player with no support what so ever.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author zhany2 - In this review, I will not go over the generalities, as you can readily read about them in other people’s reviews. What I will cover are the nitty gritty of daily usage, using the latest firmware (v 1.32). I have been seeking to purchase a MP3...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zhany2 - Over winter break, I went back to visit my parents, who just bought a new house with a much larger family room. The old Toshiba 40" Theater-Wide I gave him four years ago is now simply too small. So we decided to get a new TV.

Mon, 30 Sep 2002 14:36:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zhany2 - Earlier this year, my new M3 broke down -- the clutch sensor broke and the engine refused to start. To alleviate my suffering, the dealer loaned me in quick successions, several cars. One of them happened to be a silver 325ci (a coupe) mated to a 5-speed...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author zhany2 - When I bought my new car, I considered getting a GPS unit. I had three choices:
