Franklin DBE-1490 Spanish / English Dictionary

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > PDA: Other
from: Franklin

October 15, 2004
I agree with most of the other reviews that this is a very useful item to own for a student of Spanish. However, I have contacted Franklin UK with a problem that I have found since owning my 1490.
I cannot find any way to conjugate the important verb "haber" which is used extensively in the compound tenses of Spanish. Otherwise the grammar lessons, games and other features are great however, and it is nicely made.

Proporta Flip Type Alu-Leather Case For Nokia n95 8GB Series

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > PDA: Other
from: Proporta

December 16, 2007
I decided on this one after reading some slightly negative reviews of other products. Not wishing to buy an item and immediately have to modify it, I took the plunge and splashed on the Proporta.

Have had it for a few days now, and it really is a quality case. Quite stylish yet understated. Easy to flip open and make calls. The screen is protected by a hard metal plate inside the leather. You could definitely drop your phone a lot with this case and it would be completed protected.

To to summarise, if you are prepared to pay the extra for the quality, I'd go for this one.

Garmin Nuvi 270 Satellite Navigation System With European & American Mapping

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > PDA: Other
from: Garmin

April 09, 2007
This is my second Garmin satnav. The Nuvi 270 performs very well around Ireland, with excellent satellite tracking. The tinny voice is a bit annoying but that's the price for such a neat & portable unit. It has a simulation mode for planning your journeys abroad, and it is excellent at handling Points of Interest (POI) files.

The options for finding your location are very good, and include the option of directly entering the GPS co-ordinates. I look forward to the day when your local Yellow Pages includes GPS for all commercial locations.

When using the various search options, the results are displayed in the order of proximity which makes it easy to find the nearest restaurant, bank, or petrol station etc. ... Read More:

BlueNext iNAV 16 Channel Bluetooth GPS Receiver

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > PDA: Other
from: DURGADGET®Exclusive to Discount Satellite Navigation ltd


I set this up with my blackberry in less than a minute in my living room, cloudy and raining outside. It gave me my location straight away within 20mts. Out of 4 other recievers I own from TTGo to Garmin this is by far the best, especially for the price. Size of a matchbox and same charger as phone. great little unit.

TomTom ONE v3 Great Britain Traffic Edition

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > PDA: Other
from: TomTom

September 16, 2007
I found the device easy to use and very intuitive; it's software worked very well and the updates were very good..however.. the main reason I bought this unit, the ability to know what traffic is doing ahead of me and suggest detours, simply doesn't work.
The guy at Halfords helpfully informed me that it doesn't work in Surrey (which would have been great advice had it been given at the point of purchase!) and that because all manufacturers seem to be using TMC now there is No sat nav that can help.
The ONE has now been returned and I await developments with interest. (He mentioned digital units that should be available soon...?) I would advise everyone to check TMC in the the shop you buy it from (or just outside) - do you have a signal? And ... Read More:

Jaytech JT-32 Databank Personal Organiser

Childrens Toy Shop > Computer > PDA: Other
from: jaytech


The Jaytech JT-32 Databank Personal Organiser is an excellent basic personal organiser, with schedule, memo, telephone numbers etc. It is easy to use, very compact; also easier to edit and cheaper than a filofax. It is even cheaper than a simple pill alarm (so it is useful as a reminder for medication a well as for appointments). It's case is metal and stronger than the only other alternative.

However, there is no back-up facility, so if it breaks or goes AWOL then all is lost...

June 24, 2003
This little gadget, small enough to put in your pocket, is a MUST for any travelrs to Spanish speaking destinations who have any hesitancy!

Great for giving you the missing word in the sentence that just slips ouit of your mind, or alternatively, giving you enough words to make a understandable request!

Easy to use (My 10 year old brother thinks so too)
Good buy!
