Pros:

- clearly labelled on the battery with what it is
- works with my pspphat, havent tried it with my slim (yet)
- the battery is in line with the larger phat battery, so if you use it with the slim, then you cant put the cover on
- unleashes the potential of the psp
- if you have "bricked" your psp, then this is what you need

Cons:

nothing major enough to put here, though i have added something in other thoughts

Other Thoughts:

i tried putting this int he first time and i found it a bit tight fitting. when i examined it up to the original battery, i noticed that there was some platic "feet" on it, so i took those off and its fine now.

Bottomline:

if you want to unbrick or downgrade your psp, then youre gonna need a pandoras battery. buying this is cheaper than making one yourself, so you would be silly not to!!
downgrading the psp is the best thing ive ever done to it :)

Pros:

- comes in nice blister pack, not to disimilar from offical psp stuff
-cables are colour coded so its easy enough to plug them into the tv
- provides a nice sharp image from the psp
- allows you to use your psp (2000 at least, maybe 3000 not sure) on your tv to play games and stuff

Cons:

one con, which is a little annoying, it really would be great if it could be like 1 or 2 metres longer, then it would be top notch. the cable is actually less than 2 metres so it means i have to sit pretty close to my tv.

Other Thoughts:

its worth while researching a little about these cables before you buy them, to see if your tv is compatable with them. i have a samsung lcd from 2007-ish and theres no problem there.

Bottomline:

this cable does its job, though it would be great if it was a bit longer. if you sit close to your tv anyway, then its not gonna be a problem for you.
it is nice being able to play a psp on a larger screen, from time to time :)

Pros:

- the packaging is very good, if you are looking to resell
- the cord is wrapped in fabric not rubber, considering my logitech G9 mouse has pretty much the same (that mouse cost me over 100 US dollars) that is a really good touch
- the plastic has a matte, almost soft finish to it, which makes it very comfortable for using
- it is very responsive and so makes using a laptop a lot easier than the tracking pad
- it is very small and light and because its attached to your finger, it makes it SO MUCH BETTER than a mini laptop mouse. on a plane, you only get so much room to work/play in, this is gonna help me enjoy using my netbook no end.
- the scroll wheel feels solid and has a nice click on it.

Cons:

- the optic on mine is misaligned, it still works fine, but it just makes the final finish of the whole thing just every so slightly poor (i think this is possibly going to be in the minority of these mice, as i havent seen anything in the forums about this)
- the whole which the scroll wheel in is 2mm too wide for my liking. it makes the internals a little more exposed to the possibility of dirt.

Other Thoughts:

i didnt want to put this in cons or pros.
the cable length is around a metre. it makes it a little harder to use for a stationary pc if your USB ports are at the back of the PC. however, it makes it great for laptops.

Bottomline:

if you own a laptop, then you need to own one of these too.

Pros:

- nicely thought out, it has little air holes in it so the plastic wont make your skin sweaty
- the arm rest part comes off easily, so it isnt in the way all the time
- the clasp underneath has sponge on it so i wont mark your desk (good for me, i use an expensive dining table as my computer desk)
- it doesnt move about easily when you have any pressure on it, but the arm rest is easily adjustable when it doesnt (it has little teeth in the construction)
- it is a lot nicer to use the mouse now, i can be a little bit more precise cos my arm isnt wanting to drop
it is RoHS compliant, shown on the packaging. this a big plus. (came into force in the UK in july 1 2006) i put this in for resellers. but it would be good for dx to put it in their description, without this, companies cant buy this product for their staff to use, as far as i know.
- it helps your posture whilst sat at the computer.
- looks easy to clean

Cons:

- it would be nice if it could have a bit of rubber underneath the arm at the front, it does touch the desk. i had some foam lying that i have which i put on, its not a biggie, some cloth or kitchen paper will do
other than that, no cons whatsoever

Other Thoughts:

gonna be taking this to work, and see if i can sell a few of these babies there, push health and safety on them :)
if you are a company wanting to look for something to put your company logo on, there is a nice 13mm (approx) by around 9 or 10cm of smooth space for you to put a logo on.

Bottomline:

even if your arm/wrist doesnt hurt from using your mouse. if you spend long enough at your pc, one day it will start hurting. prevention is better than the cure!
though dont order for a few weeks after ive written this post, im gonna see how many i need to buy myself :P

Pros:

i had to give this ***** all the way through
-for the price this is a really good transmitter.
-i live in a FM saturated area yet this is able to "override" other radio stations.
-it works well with the latest nano (whatever generation that is, i lose track)including charging
-it does work with touch 3g, though i havent tried charging with it.
-u can put your ipod on "hold" and use the remote to change songs n stuff, this is really good, so a speed bump doesnt use the acceleratorthingymybob and put you on shuffle
-it takes its charge from the ipod so u arent constricted to a cigarette lighter, really important when youre up in a crane!

Cons:

however, there are some cons...
-without the charger plugged in, expect to get about 8 to 10 hours playtime from a new full battery.
-the remote does have to be pointed at the transmitter, its got a fairly limited angle
-the remote is pretty tacky looking. i seriously thought when i bought this that all the "buttons" seen on the front would serve soem function, they dont!the 3 at the bottom and the calendar icon are fake.
-the volume buttons dont work, though this isnt a major problem if ur in a car (the mute button does work though!)
-when the battery is getting low the signal strangth seems to lose a little. then when you use the charger there is a high pitch noise in the background (this is just being picky though, its not really noticable)

Other Thoughts:

the quality isnt as a good as a griffin, lets be fair (though that one went with my ipod mini with its silly connection). however, i am really happy with this gadget, it is serving me a lot better than my 2 previous "cheaper" fm senders (i paid 15USD for the last, and around 25 dollars for the one before that).

Bottomline:

i gave it 5 stars cos it does what i wanted to do - provide a good quality signal that isnt going to drop. forget how tacky the remote is, who cares. if u want a good fm sender, i think you cant go wrong with this one.

Pros:

-came nicely boxed
-there is a spare battery (missed that in the specs myself, so that was a nice suprise).
-the leather strap is soooo super soft feels like it came from a new born calf.
-the stiching on the strap is spot on
-the glass face that covers the face of the watch is beautiful in that it curves with the frame.
-take this scenario, ur asked for the time by a pretty girl, you have to press a button and lots of LEDs come up (youre late, in a bar ok!!!)... having a totally different watch could be a nice conversation point, if she is interested, perhaps she starts a convo with you, who knows :P
-the instructions come with some nice engrish :D

Cons:

there are some cons.
the watch is a "little chunky" it would have got 5 stars all the way through if it had been half the depth, no matter what other cons i will say. (chunky is like 8 or 9mm as a guestimate).
the picture of th screen is a little deceptive, youc an kinda see the LEDs through what looks like rice paper, behind the glass.
although the front and the sides of the watch look really clean, the back looks a little shabby from the mold
although the watch strap is so beautiful for now, im not sure how long it will keep that way, the leather is just so soft and sexy! (though in fairness, i did buy it with the intention of changing the strap originally).
take this scenario, ur asked for the time by a pretty girl, you look have to press a button for the time, then count the LEDs and work out the time... pausing when youre trying to read the time is gonna make you look a little dull in the head as a first impression.
-not sure what is meant by "everyday water proof", though im gonna either have a bet on, "splash proof", or "dont even sweat when wearing this baby".

Other Thoughts:

if this isnt 500 words, i give up!

Bottomline:

seriously though, this would make a ncie present for a brother or something, especially as a xmas present as opposed to bday present, if you spend time together as a family, would be a nice talking point whilst you open your yearly supply of socks off some aunt, may even get you out of saying "thanks" or at least keep their face off yours whilst you have to give a half hearted one anyhow.

Pros:

the definate pros of this are that its...
1) the seams are spot on on the one that i bought.
2) the price for this kind of item is very good, i cant imagine finding a t shirt like this for this price anywhere.
3) this kinda t shirt isnt found readily available on the high street, so that always a plus when im looking for clothes.
4) the led lights can be seen in daylight, so its good for walking home in the daylight after a night out clubbing (unless u go to places with dress codes :s)
5)the cotton is suprisingly thick

Cons:

It might have been slightly better looking if the plastic panel had been sewn behind the hole in the t shirt instead of ontop.
Additionally, not sure if this is a "con" or, but i shall put it here as it is quite important in my opinion.
The connecting cable from the battery to the lights appears has one pin that longer than the rest, which made me think that there was only one way to fit it. so on reconnecting and putting the batteries in for the first time the lights were flashign downwards. i put the cable in the other way around and all is good :D
so my point is, before you go out, make sure the cable is the right way around, cos it looks a little odd when the faces bounce downwards.

Other Thoughts:

i havent tried it yet. but i dont see there being a problem hand-washing this with a mild soap solution with the batteries out.
Just make sure not to wet the battery casing (if you can) and to rinse it properly with clean water and dry it thoroughly before the batteries are put back in.
If a laptop can recover from something being spilled over it (personally tried and tested) then i have faith in this. Though i will post a thread to let you know how it went, below. (not planning on wearing it for a short while though, so be patient).

Bottomline:

what did i pay for this? 12 dollars? thats like 80 norwegian kroner or £8, its hard to find a plain t shirt of this quality for this price.
Dont buy it though! cos i wanna stand out from the crowd, not share the limelight with J00S!

Pros:

Firstly, it comes in a retail box, which looks quite passable, if you are thinking of buyign this to resell, then its a plus.
I was a little worried about the apparent flimsiness of this case. However, i put it on my PSP and it fits like a glove.
I always felt that the psp 2000 felt a little too thin after many hours use with my psp1000. This case does add enough "chunk" to the unit, with some moulding on the back so seems to fit more naturally in the hand.
The case gives the unit a silky smooth feeling, which is nicer than the really poor plastic feel of the psp 2000.

Cons:

None for me.

Bottomline:

If you are looking for a silicon case for your psp2000, then you really dont have to look any further.

Pros:

Firstly, the packaging on this doesnt seem much, but it must have got knocked in transit somewhere, as there was a crease on the box and the foam protective lid was raised slightly and the thing survived.
Theres not one dead pixel on mine, which is tip top.
At the time of ordering, this was the best value i could find.
On turning it on, the screen is bright and vivid, and if i am honest i dont even remember my original screen being as good.

Cons:

The reason why i havent given this top marks across the board are as follows.
Theres a sticker which covers the circuits on the original screen, and this one doesnt. I removed my old screen once i saw it was cracked. Luckily i didnt throw the thing away so i was able to swap it onto the replacement. Im guessing its kidna important to avoid the posibbility of a short in the circuits.
Also, i noticed that there was some sort of grease mark on the screen (smudged fingerprint perhaps?!), and im pretty certain that it wasnt me.

Other Thoughts:

When removing the old screen, be careful with the back light clamp to the mother board (black plastic thing). Apparently it does break quite easily, and i managed to chip mine slightly, causing the clamp not to grasp like it should. So there was no light.
I persevered, and kept the battery powered on (not gonna recommend doing this tbh)until i saw the backlight come on then clasped the screen ontop shut. Ive shaken it about a bit turned it on and off a few times, lightly tapped the console and so far so good.
I mentioned the grease mark in cons, this isnt a biggie tbh, as you will prolly mark the screen with your own grubby little mits anyhow, so you will have to clean it before putting the unit back together.

Bottomline:

I am quite happy with this item. Once fitted the quality is really impressive.
If you are buyign this to replace a cracked screen then keep hold of your old screen until this arrives, then you can add the black sticker (and black foam thing around the edge of the screen, if you wish, i havent bothered with that, as i figure i would just make a mess of it, if a lot of dust and stuff gets in, then i will make one for it then.

Pros:

The first thing i noticed about this was before i had even opened them! They come very well wrapped in bubble plastic in a padded envelope. I was expecting them to be just wrapped in some paper. The magnets themselves are pretty strong, i can hang up a number of sheets with them on the fridge with just one of these. It also came in handy as some stress relief, you can hold a magnet a little distance from the rest of the stack and they fly through the air to stick to them! (simple mind, simple pleasures i guess). The magnets are attractive enough in a minimalist way, so if you have that style of furnishing in your home, they would not look out of place, if you do occassionally have to hang things on your fridge or somewhere. Some reviews have said that they will easily break, but i dont see how something so small can. I think i will take some to work as i will find a use for them.

Cons:

I cant think of much in the way of cons, they are small magnets.

Bottomline:

I think that overall they are versatile little things. It is nice that you get many of them so you can increase the strength of their pull by adding more to the stack without it looking bad against the background.
