HTC Legend
The HTC Legend which was released last week on Meteor is an absoulty stunning piece of machinery. It’s fast and very good looking. If there was a scale the HTC would normally be second to the iPhone but its big advantage is its much cheaper and on Meteor you get free internet.
It runs Google Andriod, its easy to use and full of widgets and apps and messing with the track pad is like a bad habit. It has a good few themes and wall papers. When setting up the phone the HTC gives you lessons on using the keyboard its a little bit different to the iPhone.
There are brilliant apps like GoogleMaps, Peep, Teeter and YouTube but sometimes the Internet can be very slow over the phone. The signal was good in Wexford when I was up on the top bunk I got 3 bars much better than my Mums old Meteor phone.
When I was in Wexford I went into the Meteor store and they said it only comes on bill pay which is a pity.

Track pad
It has a five megapixel camera, the video is deadly. It charges with a semi-USB and a usb plug that goes into the wall. It has brilliant volume. If you can’t afford an iPhone then get this it’s worth it. The battery and speaker covers come in different colours like green, red and other colours.
OH! I almost forgot that it has a app called, Market. This allows you to install and uninstall games. The games that are on the iPhone are sometimes on this and can be a bit better
My friends Killian, Andrew, Jordan and Charles said it’s an “absolutely brilliant” phone but some say it’s “legend” like its name. I like it its quietly brilliant.

Rich Romans loved to be warm . They had heating at home, in villas and in public baths. The heating was kept going by slaves, who kept a fire. The warm air moved around the building through spaces under the floors and in beetween the walls. The floor space was made by raising the floor on top of piles of tile or stone. The Roman heating system was called a hypocaust.

All hail the great 944 Turbo! This is deffiently one of the most greastest cars of all time. The 944 Turbo is truly a magnificent sports car, in every way. The Turbo is brilliant around town but howls when let loose on the road. As you see, it is like a rocket it is so fast.
To begin with, the Porsche 944 Turbo differs from its lesser, normally aspirated counterpart in many ways. The most obvious is the body. When the Turbo first bowed in 1986, it carried a smooth front end with integrated fog lights and bumper. The rear was accented by a functional chin spoiler that wrapped under the bumper panel. The Turbo was made with 16″ wheels as opposed to 15″ for the regular 944. Inside, the Turbo had the fresh interior, which had just arrived in the 1985½ 944. The only difference was the boost gauge directly under the tach.
The crazy differences, however, lie under the hood. First and foremost was the new turbocharged 4 cylinder engine, still at 2.5 Liters. It output 217 horsepower at 5,800 rpm. The power has increased by 50% from the 944. In a run to the quarter mile, the Turbo is about 2 secs quicker than the regular 944. This boost of power was created without a single sacrifice in the emission department.

The Caparo t1 looks like an f1 racing car but it’s road legal.
It has double the amount of power of a buggati veyron.
The accerlation so good it can hit a 100mph in 5 seconds.
It’s mad.
it’s mad because the brakes are so good that if you drove into a wall you would stop more quickly if you used the brakes.
The engine has so much power you can get a wheelspin in 4th gear.
