4.0 Stars Best handheld device to browse internet!
With the current version of the software and the clunky touchpad to write e-mails, the iphone is far from the Blackberry yet. However, if you need an ipod and you like browsing the web on the go - this device is for you. The revolutionary interface really changed the mobile browsing experience. It is important to note that the June software update is likely to change the game for outlook users. With push e-mails and calendars, this will make the choice between blackberry and iphone much more difficult. The pending question is whether the June release will come with a 3G version of the device. This new release will also turn the iphone into a mobile gaming platform...so stay tuned!

Answer

Is every espresso coffee machine pretty much the same at value price points? (1 answer)
When you buy an espresso machine, the key spec to look at is the pressure. High pressure = strongest infusion = best coffee. You need at least 15 bar for a good coffee. There are two categories of machines: the machines with capsules and the machines without. I tried both and realized that it is a pain to wash the machine after each use, so I recommend the "capsule" approach even if it is a bit more expensive. The next differentiation is the steam jet. While the idea of making a capuccino is tempting, it usually adds $200 to the machine and you end up don't using it as it is again painful to clean. I would suggest to buy a cheaper machine without it and buy a $20 milk frother. I would recommend the Nespresso D 90 Essenza machine. It costs only $179 and works very well. You can couple it with the Nespresso Milk frother (https://secure.nespresso.com/precom/n_acc_prez_...) and for an additional $21 your can prepare fantastic capuccini.

This camera needs to be tagged "underwater" - this is among the best for a casual underwater use! see comment »

If you are looking for a camera to take watersports picture (surfing, wakeboarding, snorkling...) this is the one! You need to wipe out the lens carefully once you are out of the water to avoid leaving any mark for your next pictures. see comment »
