Panasonic VIERA 32inch TV Review

This is going to be my first review on a TV, which I didn't plan on doing one. So Panasonic has made many great TV in the past. But what I find is the Panasonic VIERA 32inch is a very solid device. It has many capable device options you can use a SD card, USB drive, or HDMI cable and still have enough room to plug in two game consoles. If you don't own a game console, you can hook up a VCR (If anyone has one anymore), DVD player or Blue-ray player. There's to different TV resolutions that you can get it in which are 720p or 1080p the price between them to are only $170 to $230 which isn't that bad. I personally own the 720p which I love it and works amazingly. Another thing I like about the Panasonic is that last a long time, the only reason why I say that is that my parents own an older model of my TV and they have had for over 6 years. If your looking for great TV that isn't that expensive then pick up a Panasonic VIERA 32inch for only $340 at Amazon.com which is a great price.-Bradley Parrales

iPhone 4 Review

iPhone 4 Review, a set on Flickr.

Well I love the iPhone 4 because the battery life 40% better then the iPhone 4S. I came in two different colors which are black and white. The LCD screen has wonder colors and amazing interface. The interesting thing about the iPhone is that it has glass on both sides of the phone which is kind of cool looking. The phone itself is heavier then the iPhone 3GS but with some neat features. Like a 5 megapixel camera and can shoot video up to 1080p. iTunes store has lots great apps that allow you to make a better use to your iPhone 4 camera which I find that amazing. The only lame thing about the phone is the Voice controls don't work that well or at all at times. You can pick up a brand new iPhone 4 16GB for only $444 at Amazon.com which pretty good price compare to buying an iPhone 5. Anyways I totally recommend anyone on getting an iPhone 4 for the price you can't go wrong.-Bradley Parrales

IPad Mini Review

You may have notice I review Apple products a lot, though I would say I'm a Apple fanatic. Because more then half the products they sell I can't even afford them. Fortunately a friend of my let me borrow his iPad mini for a couple of weeks to write a review. First the iPad mini is bigger then a iPhone 5 but smaller then the iPad 3. So there's nothing really special about the mini, except that it light weight, has a pretty cool panorama feature which the iPhone 5 has, and brighter LCD screen. The interface is the same which I'm not saying that is bad or anything. I just wish there were more perks to it like a FM radio would be nice to have. Over the device is just like the latest iPad out there, but only smaller and lighter weight. I'm consider on buy an iPad mini only because it a $45 to $60 cheaper then a regular iPad and the battery life slightly better then the Kindle Fire. So I would recommend on buying one if you have the money.-Bradley Parrales

Canon 60D Review

Well I love camera's that allow you to take photos and video because instead of having two camera's base on different focuses. Also holding two camera and using them at the same time can be kind of hard. So having it all in one his very amazing and fun to use. But the real question is which camera is the best to buy? Well that is Canon 60D that is known for many things, like amazing video quality and amazing pictures. First off it's got an even balance of weight to it, pack with tons of features, the user inner face is pretty friendly to use, it also has Vari-angle 3 inch LCD screen & with 5.3 fps continuous shooting. The camera itself uses an SD card and also has an USB &HDMI slot which is very useful to use when your on the go. Another thing I like about this camera its compatible to all of the Canon lens that are currently available in the market. Which I find that useful when looking for a lens knowing that your not limited in what you can get. My personally the first lens you should get the Canon 50mm 1.4 lens & any wide angle lens that you can afford to get. A battery grip is a must for this camera when you taking photos of sports events or simply doing a 8 plus hours video. You can pick up the Canon 60D (body only) for $661 on Amazon.com which not bad price for a camera that loaded with tons of options. This camera I totally recommend it to anyone that wants to get serious into photography or videography will last you a life time, if your care with your stuff. -Bradley Parrales

Nikon D3000 Review

I've own many different kinds of camera's but one of my favorite DLSR is the Nikon D3000 which it is a beginner entry camera. That take's nice pictures if your on a budget, but I would not recommend this camera for video's due to doesn't have that feature. The camera body is light weight due to being made of all plastic and rubber. Thou it doesn't feel cheaply made, it has one SD slot, also has a micro USB slot on the opposite side of where the SD slot is at, Flash, a 3 inch LCD screen and pack with features. Though when got my Nikon D3000 I got the kit lens which does decent portrait images. The thing about beginner camera is that you should not focus on the extra's like the battery grip, screen protectors, Speed lights and so on. What your focus should be is getting a great lens, because having a wide angle lens or a Telephoto lens may be more useful compare to having a kit lens that only goes 18-55mm. My D3000 has service me well and has fail me yet, currently it's being used as a back camera in my bag. You can still buy a Nikon D3000 with the kit lens at Amazon.com for only $429 which is only $145 cheaper then when I got it. Overall the camera portable, full with of features, great battery life and light weight.-Bradley Parrales

Apple TV Review

I find Apple products to be a little pricey, but I truly believe they are worth every penny you spend on it. I believe Apple TV to be worth having if you have an iTunes account because that you get to use iTunes at it's fullest. What is Apple TV? Well if you know what a Roku or a Roku HD then you know what a Apple TV is. Setting it up is very easy all you need is a TV, iTunes account, and credit card is (optional). After that it's very user friendly like every other Apple product out there. Other thing a I like about it is that it is portable. Sadly it doesn't come in tons of different color, which only comes in white or black. I not saying that there should be more colors, but having the option to making more personal is always a plus. You can get an Apple TV for only $96 on Amazon.com or get it a Best Buy for $100 which isn't that bad of price. I overall enjoy using the Apple TV and hope that Apple will add more features on the device to where it can become a little more personal. -Bradley Parrales

Kindle Fire Review

Currently in our world there are tons of tablets that have lots of features. Some of them are just e-readers that have additional features that allows the users to get online. So, the Kindle Fire is an e-reader that allows to do more then the average e-reader. It allows you to play apps that go everything from games, organizational tools, and other neat apps that can help you burn time.

Goal Zero Portable Speaker Review

Goal Zero is a new brand in the technology world, but their main goal is making Eco-Friendly products. Which I find it kind of cool and their products are made in high quality. Their portable speakers are amazing, the sound is clean even in its highest volume not even kidding. Also it battery last up too 40hrs without your device doing all the work. It uses a 3.5 jack input which would mean almost any device out there can be used with Goal Zero portable speakers. Also charging the speakers only take 3hrs to get fully charged which in my opinion is pretty cool. The only down side in buy this product would be that there isn't a wide range of color or designs to choose from. Actually it only in one color format which is black and with a touch of a bright green color which it is kind of cool. Overall I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a nice portable speakers in the near future. -Bradley Parrales

Seagate External Hard drive 500GB Review

I find having an external hard drive is a must for any computer person. Only because one day your computer will run out of memory and your going to want or need to back it up. So choosing the right external hard drive is very important and can be hard sometime due to have a ton different options of brands. One of my favorite hard drives that is in the affordable range for any type of budge would be Seagate only because they are more reliable and it adapts very well with other computer's. The Seagate 500GB external hard drive is easy to use, it's portable, comes in different colors and has some light weight to it. You can pick it up at Amazon.com from prices ranging $60 to $85 which isn't that bad for something that will last for a good long time. I would recommend this brand to anyone looking for external hard drive.-Bradley Parrales

IPod Classic 80GB Review

I have owned many different IPod in my life, But my favorite one would the IPod Classic. Only for a few reason's it has lots of room for your music and videos. Which my Classic only has 30gbs full and still have room for more. Another reason why I like the Classic is that it has some weight to it. Because most of the newer models of the IPod have gone slimmer and lighter which is cool to see something that slim to work amazing without needing a hard drive. Which all the IPod Classic use hard drive that is the reason for the large amount of memory and have that weight to it. For the slimmest IPod out there you can only have 64GB's of memory which is still a lot. But, some people would rather give up having tons of feature for ton's of space for music and movies that they enjoy watching and listening on the go. The Classic it simple and easy to use, I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a hardcore music player that they can take all there music on the go. -Bradley Parrales

Samsung S390G Review

It's time for me to give a prepaid cell phone review. So, I've been a net10 costumer for a about 7 years now and I'm still happy with the service never really had a problem with them. I love the fact that you aren't stuck in a contract and that you have the flexibility to switch between plans at no cost which is always a plus. A year ago Net10 and TracFone had released the Samsung S390G which at the time the phone was worth $100 which sounds a lot but, it not the that bad in you think about it. Because you break or lose your phone it not going to cost you couple hundreds dollars to get it replacement. It will cost you the same $100 you spent on it for the first time. Also, Net10 phones their value of phones go down after a few months which for the Samsung S390G was true, anyone could get this phone for $50 or less depending on where you go. Which is great because by then anyone can afford that phone. So during my Spring Break I pick up the Samsung S390G which in my opinion a bad phone its different then other smartphones. The phone is really light, it has the following Features: Full qwerty keyboard, Mobile web Access which is 3G, Mp3 player, Bluetooth Wireless Technology, Hands-Free Speaker, Voice Command, and so other standard features. Also the battery life is pretty good for example Battery talk time is 6-7hours and standby Time is up to 13 days or more if you power saver person. I person like the idea of the phone but, it does have a few glitches which isn't anything major just that Wi-Fi connect option is limited and mini touch pad few times it doesn't work that you have to power down the device and restart it in-order for it to work well. Other then that the phone works get and I enjoy only paying $27.56 a month for 750 minutes, which at the end of the year I will end up paying a total of $330.72. Which for me makes me very happy to save money :)

PlayStation 3 Slim (Black) Review

When the first PlayStation 3 came out it was one on the coolest consoles out there. It had so many features that no one else out there could challenge them. For example it had the following features: Blue-Ray player, Played CD, DVD, USB Drives, and also had backwards Capability meaning games from PS, PS2, PS3 could all play on the same console without switch between console which was kind of impressive at the time, which even in our present time the console is "Legendary" no joke. Anyways couple years later the PS3 Slim was born had almost all the same feature as the first PS3 with a few add features like being a lighter and being able to connect to the internet through WiFi. Which in the end the point of the PS3 Slim was that it was more portable and less wires to deal with. Now the real question is when I said almost as good as the first one. They took one feature out which made so fan upset, that feature was the "backwards Capability"... was a sad day for fans. Well Sony did this to force people to buy PS3 games. Some of the PS3 Slim do have extremely limited backwards capability like you only can play the original PlayStation games. Which was alright if you had a lot of those type of games. Anyways the PS3 Slim is a great console all round it only lacks one feature not able to fully backwards compatible, if your new the to PlayStation this feature may not bother you. PS3 Slim has a lot to offer and plays everything extremely well. The controllers of the PS3 have a wonder battery life and the controller comes in a wide variety of colors like, red, blue, green, pink, black, white, purple and so on. I truly believe PS3 in general is one of the great consoles out there except, for the (PS3 Super Slim that one is Terrible). -Bradley Parrales

Nintendo 3DS Zelda Edition Review

3DS Zelda Edition doesn't have any added features or anything special in the inner hardware. Though it does have a different appearance, on the casing its a cosmo black with the Legend of Zelda Lego on it which is gold. The rim where you have a charging port, game slot, and stylist slot is also gold. When you open the 3DS the Select, Home, Start and Power button are in a light gold lettering. On the d-pad there's four gold lines, and for the A, B, Y, X also the switch is in a gold color. Which make the 3DS have a unique look to it that make you feel special. The 3DS weigh's the same as the regular 3DS though if you get the PowerPak+ it does add a little weight to it. I would recommend you buying the 3DS Zelda Edition if you a Zelda fan or don't own one yet. It has some neat features that some held console lack of. Like the dual screen, analog stick is a lot more stable compare to the PlayStation Go. Also lets you play certain games that in 3DS. Also instead of buying a special memory card to store you data or music and so on you can simply use a regular SD card nothing fancy like the
extreme or pro SD cards. Overall the Nintendo 3DS Zelda Edition is a solid device that has interesting look to it, and is completely worth your money. -Bradley Parrales

PSP-1000 Series Review

Who remembers PlayStation Portable where it changed the way of gaming. It had graphic's that were like a PlayStation2 which is a little shocking at the time that something so small had a wonder display and controls. PSP had all the features like a PS2 controller minus a few thing though for example the PSP didn't have a dual analog sticks and the dual triggers which some people believe with out those features it would take away the gaming style complete and that no would buy because of it. But, fortunately PSP sold very well and became very popular. Sadly PSP was only good up to the 3000 series, after that Sony made a big change that made some gamers very upset. The change was that they remove the UMD slot on the back of the PSP. They Say digital was the way to go and was the future for easy access for gamers to get to. Which, gamers like me didn't agree only because we would rather have a hard copy of the game and if for some reason we didn't like it we would return it or trade it in for another game. Now if you had the digital copy of the game you, would be stuck with it and couldn't do anything but forcibly buy another game. Anyways PSP-1000 series is still consider to be one the old school portable series that make gaming fun. Which can still pick a refurbished or pre-owned version in you local game shops like the following: GameStop, Game Central and Gamer HQ.- Bradley Parrales

XBOX Review

The first XBOX had better quality and graphics compare to PS2 at the time. Sure the XBOX didn't have a lots of games but, at least they took there time and made rock solid games that work extremely well. It was also heavy console it was about 2.3 pounds more compared to a PS2. (Which wasn't a problem) But, most people in 2001-2005 they wanted portable gaming consoles without feeling they were caring giant rock. Now for the controllers at first they seem to be oversize compare to the average gaming controller. XBOX wanted to know for something different. The controller itself was solidly build and had a interesting way of how the buttons were layout. Other then that the XBOX till this day was and still is my favorite console out there (Where they made games fun). -Bradley Parrales
