Walkie Talkies

In this age of the mobile phone, walkie talkies, or two-way radios, seem like an anachronism. However, many people who grew up before the 1990s may recall that no respectable private eye or detective story was complete without a walkie talkie being used while following a suspect or chasing a criminal!

You may not be the sort who likes to follow suspects or chase criminals as part of your daily activities, but you could still use a walkie talkie in your daily life. If you enjoy outdoor activities, love to go motorcycling, work in a school, college, pub or club or look after a little baby at home, you would find a walkie talkie a very useful gadget. You may need a walkie talkie system if your job requires you to move around from one point to another within a three kilometre range. The benefit over mobile phones is that they are license free and do not have any associated call charges.

For instance, you can use a regular baby monitor if you are at home downstairs and your baby is asleep upstairs, but what happens if you need to visit a neighbour? Some walkie talkies have a wider range than regular baby monitors and also include a baby monitor mode. You can leave one radio in the babys room and take the other wherever you gowhen the baby wakes up or begins to cry, you will know at once. The Cobra MT725 Value pack is ideal for this.

Workers in pubs or clubs, or teachers and staff members in schools and colleges would find walkie talkies very effective and useful when communicating with colleagues. In both cases, workers and staff members may have to respond to emergencies, and may not be near a telephone. walkie talkies can be clipped onto belts, and come with an earpiece-microphone combination to enable discreet communication. All you need to do to send a message is to press the Push to Talk button on the handset.

Motorcyclists can use a walkie talkie system that fits into their motorcycle helmets, along with the Push to Talk button that is mounted on the motorcycle handlebar or the recommended voice activation via a MICVOX. If you plan a motorcycle holiday with a group of friends, this system should enable you to stay in touch, over a distance of a mile, in all kinds of weather. You will also find a walkie talkie very useful on a skiing or mountaineering holidayyou may not be able to use mobile phones in the mountains or abroad as the roaming charges may be more than you want to pay!

XBox 360 Shortage Causes A Stir

Microsoft has finally released, among huge media hype, its new console, the long awaited xbox 360.... also known as the xbox 2.

The xbox 360 console is available in two different packages, the first being a top-end version and consists of an xbox 360 console, wireless controllers, external hard-drive and headset with membership to the xbox live gaming service to tempt you in even more, to avoid your spouse!!, this is priced at 279.99. The second package is a basic one which includes xbox 360 console and wired controller, this is priced at 209.99. Its a shame that a section of gaming fans have to pay a little extra to have the wireless controllers but I'm sure they will argue that its worth the money.

The Christmas 2005 release has given it a much-needed edge over Sony which plans to release its PlayStation 3 in the the spring of 2006.

The xbox 360 has hit massive shortages, due to demand, in the UK. People are already paying nearly double the cost on EBay for the long awaited console, just to get it immediately. It has been said that Microsoft have deliberately limited stock to create the media interest that it currently receives, just due to its availability problem.
