A simple thread designed to help people with consumer purchases based on personal experiences....pick a product you have direct knowledge of and share the wealth – either good or bad.
I’ll start with mobi’s:
Pros: Sony Ericsson W880i. Awesome. Battery life that makes any other phone manufacturer weep. 3G. Fast and intuitive. Small like an iPod Nano. Rock solid build quality.
Cons: Any Nokia smartphone. N series particular culprits. Superficial build quality. Almost catastrophic battery life. Bug laden OS. Priced like the Franklin Mint build them. Built like a Chrysler.
Pros: they are really good. Surprisingly good, though not choc.
Cons: I CAN'T STOP EATING THEM.
Seriously though, if you are an oreo fan, they are really good and i think you would be surprise. Sorry Phil, if this is not what you meant with product.
Pros: Using the pen gives better control over digital brush tools, allows digital hand tracing, has pressure sensitivity which allows user to mimic natural drawing techniques (if you have the right brushes). Tablet area is equivalent to screen size allowing for better hand-eye coordination while drawing or retouching or many other things.
Cons: Unless you're going to be tracing really big drawings, don't get anything bigger than a 6x8 - it'll lead to carpal tunnel. (you can digitally crop the area of the tablet you're using if you want to use a smaller area... but then that's just a waste of money on all the extra space isn't it?)
Ah but - you can assign the tablet area to any portion of a screen, or screens..... making multi monitor navigation a snip and bigger tablets a necessity although an a4 intuos 3 will cover 2 x 20 inch monitors with ease.
Made By Sony is NOT a con. Way too expensive? compared to what? A Nintendo - yes. but nintendo plays (admitedly great) games thats it. compared to an x-box? yes. but they cant play hi-def movies. unless you buy a strap on attachment for it. oh - and you can quite easily turn it into a reasonably powerful mac or linux home 'puter. next....
not that i don't like it...*pats him on the shoulder
Hell, I paid for it.
Xbox 360 Good system, achievement points, arcade games
Cons...not made by sony...smiles shyly...
sorry had a bad expierence wiht sony a few months back, doesn't mean it is not a great system or anything like that and....hey, I LIKE MY WII!!! *pouts
