Cubalaya Launches a Product Review Service

To enhance the Cubalaya shopping comparison service, we have started a product review section on the site.  The reviews are mini-product reviews, giving you the short story rather than the lengthy technical description.  For instance, if you're interested in the new Nokia N95 mobile phone- you should check out its review; however, if you're not sure what you should be looking for in a DVD player, the relevant buying guide will help you figure that out.

Each product review page is divided into 3 parts:

• Ratings- the product rated according to its design, features and other attributes. Each category of products has its own specific attribute list, making product comparison easier.
• Overall Review- a written review of the product including technical details, features and other important information.
• Summary- The no-nonsense bottom line.

So far we have covered some popular products, and soon we hope to expand our reviews database and create another useful tool for online shoppers.

Furthermore, at the bottom of each review page you can find a link to full-length review from a different site.  Besides being more detailed, these sites usually have consumer reviews as well.

Last, but not least, each product has its own video review as well.  These videos give you a good first look at the product and also a visual explanation of its functions.  The following example is a video review of the Panasonic TH-42PZ700 television:

Buying Guides

I know I'm not an electronics genius.  I mean, how could I be one if I still have my Dad's old record player (along with some great original Beatles records by the way)?  But I decided yesterday to upgrade to a digital camera, and thank goodness I found out that cubalaya has a buying guides section, with a comprehensive digital camera guide. 

And since I've opened up to electronics, it's about time I upgraded our home entertainment system, which at the moment consists of a pre-historic 1994 model Panasonic 29'' TV.  Not to knock Ole' Sparky, but the 21st century is already 7 years old.  I am currently debating between an LCD or a plasma TV set, but, as you might have already guessed, I had no idea there was a difference between them until I read the cubalaya television buying guide.

But enough electronics talk.  Did I mention I'm looking for a new stroller?  I know that today they come with all sorts of accessories (I even heard a rumor about a built-in MP3 player!), so I was able to find a wide range of models on the stroller search page.  I'm seriously considering a jogging stroller, and maybe that MP3 player would come in handy so Junior won't have to listen to his old man huffing and puffing like the Big Bad Wolf.
