REVIEW.

We had been wanting to get a universal remote for a long time to get rid of the many remotes we have lying around and just use one.
The instructions to use this remote were very east to understand and follow.
With some remotes I find the buttons to be too small and when you push them you accidently push the wrong one but with this remote they were spaced out nicely and easy to read.
The only problem we had was on the net trying to set up all our devices with the remote, it took quite a while but once that was sorted it worked very well.
The best thing about the Logitech Harmony – 600 Remote was that it connected with our stereo, we have tried many other remotes in the past and none were able to work with the stereo so that was defiantly a bonus.
I think you would have to be a bit technically knowledgeable to set everything up but once its set is a very handy device to have!

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910

Well, it’s been a while since I sat in front of a webcam, about 7 years to be exact and in my mind I still had visions of what my old webcam was like.
This one couldn’t have been more different.

It was so easy to set up and didn’t take long at all so that was my first surprise. For someone who isn’t particularly technically minded, this was a real bonus.
I sat there and had a play with some of the different functions and discovered that while it delivers an amazingly clear picture, it also had lots of fun features. I found it amusing to be a green alien, even if no one else could see the humour in that.
Even when the room I was in was starting to get dark, the picture through the webcam still remained clear and light enough to see.
The picture was a little delayed etc but it was easy enough to find the setting that turned the quality down and then it ran fine.
One of the things I did find with it was that I was limited to sitting in my computer chair right next to my computer which unfortunately for me aims right at my kitchen. Luckily that night the kitchen was tidy but it made me realize that I couldn’t have had it anywhere else.
I still have to have a play with it picture wise as it says one touch to put pics etc onto U Tube or Facebook so that should be fun.

All in all I found the webcam to be really great….far better than what I expected but then like I said, it’s been a while.
Now I just need to experience this skype ‘thing’ and all will be well with the world

My Rating – 10/10

O.M.G – let me just say that I think I am in love.

Received this from Logitech to trial for a few weeks and I am going to hate having to give it back because for the first time in ages I can listen to my music when and where I like. It has a rechargeable battery so it was easy to unplug and take into my room the other night where I promptly fell asleep listening to my songs……oops. It was still playing when I woke up a couple of hours later.
But with the rechargeable battery you also have so many other options, you can take it to the beach while you relax listening to the music you love, you can take it to a party and can change the music on your iPod to suit what is currently your favourites. The options really are unlimited and I love mine.
This great little unit is SO easy to use… even for a technophobe like me and the sound quality is quite simply amazing. It was a case of plug it in, put in the iPod and hit the start button. I have an older iPod Nano and it worked fine with it.
If you are looking at getting one of these for your teen…….the sound gets loud but without being house shaking loud and even at it’s loudest, the clarity of the music is great. Same with having it down low, you can still hear the music without the static noise that you sometimes get with other speakers.
The speakers are not huge, so can be put onto a shelf almost anywhere and not be in the way, or in danger of being knocked off.
I think the only fault would be the remote and the possibility that I could quite easily lose something that small. But that’s a problem I have….not the product. But in saying that, you can still play the music even without the remote.

All in all this is a great product and one I would definately recommend for anyone, either for yourself or for the kids
