Decide what to buy: the Reevoo.com blog

We gave you the news yesterday that the weekend wasn’t going to be a great one in terms of weather so for those of you that will be using the car more, we thought we’d put together a list of the top 5 satellite navigation systems, rated by the people who’ve bought them. We thought we go a bit James Bond and look at sat navs with voice control.

1. The top rated sat nav with a rating of 9/10 is the TTomTom GO-520 MUSIC. Shoppers love how easy it is to use along with it’s great value for money. One shopper summed it up quite nicely "Great spec at an excellent price".

2. Coming in a close second is the TomTom Go 520 Traffic with a rating of 8.9/10 and big plus points for design and user friendliness. Although some people did have a few issues with the traffic feature.

3. With a rating of 8.7/10, the TomTom Go 720 is in third place. Shoppers noted its great design and large screen for better visibility.  One lady described it as an "Excellent GPS - no issues with losing the signal. Clear mapping with good voice instructions." There were a few comments about short battery life and problems working out how to use certain functions though.

4. Fourth is the TomTom GO 920T EU/N.AM with 8.6/10. Its clear screen is very popular with shoppers as is its connection to your mobile. However some people did have problems with inaccurate maps.

5. Fifth is the Sony NVU82G, the only non-Tom Tom system of the bunch. With the same score of 8.6/10 as the TomTom Go 920T, the Sony loses out on its ease of use. Although shoppers did like its wide screen.

If you’re looking to buy a sat nav, we hope that helps you with your decision. If you’re not interested in the voice control, there are plenty more without the feature here.

I know it’s only Wednesday but I’ve got to thinking about the weekend already. Having checked out the weather forecast and seen that it’s going to be a shocker…

Saturday

Sunday - that’s snow!!

…I’ve decided to dedicate it to my wii…which then got me thinking about what cool things you could do with a wii for two days. I got the guys at Go Nintendo to help me out. Here’s my list so far:

1) Lose weight - definitely a bonus, think how much extra stuff you could eat
2) Watch tv - no need to move or mess around with wires
3) Play movies - create your own movies of you playing your wii and then play them back to yourself afterwards
4) Stream iTunes - music. TV. Food - perfect weekend already
5) Play air guitar or air drums - practice when streaming iTunes. Will also help with point 1
6) Go bowling - in your own living room! No umbrellas/snow shoes or transport necessary
7) Homebrew - create my own games. Great for when money’s tight
Learn how to cook with Cooking Mama - refer back to point 1 after use
9) Turn my photos into puzzles
10) Talk to other Wii owners - when I get bored of myself

So there we go. Weekend sorted. If you fancy some of that, go get one. There are also loads of accessories and games for maximum fun potential.

This week’s Gadget Watch brings us a telephoto lens for mobile phones launched by Green-House in Japan. This universal lens also connects up to a tripod and transforms your phone’s humble camera into a 8x zoom machine. Now all you need to do is fit the thing in your bag. Not so great for those of us who opt for pocket-friendly handsets. We don’t think it’ll mean the end for SLRs in the near future. What do you think?

If you’re serious about your photography and in the market for some zoom action, we recommend looking through the reviews from people that have bought proper cameras and lenses. At the moment, shoppers have rated the Panasonic FZ50 Black as the best performing SLR and the Canon Ef 24 105MM Is Usm  as the best lens.
