What combines servings of vegetables, microwave convenience, a just-right portion size, and a terrific taste that kids love? It’s Ragú’s® new Fresh and Simple All Natural sauce pouches! I received two pouches from MomCentral to sample, and for me, it’s a perfect way to serve pasta for lunch! The pouches come in three flavors-Traditional Tomato Basil, Garden Vegetable, and Tomato, Onion & Garlic. Like traditional Ragú® sauces, the Fresh and Simple sauces have no sugar, no artificial additives and no preservatives.
All you do is clip the corner of the pouch, pop it in the microwave for NINETY SECONDS, and pour the sauce over cooked pasta and voila, spaghetti for lunch! Since it’s just Kaitlyn and I having lunch at home during the week, it’s great to have a smaller amount, too. I’ve thrown away WAY too many opened jars of spaghetti sauce that got a little fuzzy around the edges.
Ragú® is committed to providing busy moms and dads with the tips, tools, and ideas they need to fuel their kids’ appetites and imaginations, so they created a website called Feed Our Kids Well. There you will find links to the Ragú® panel of experts including dieticians, nutritionists, fitness experts, and MomCentral’s own Stacy DeBroff (!), a link to the order form for a FREE 34 page Feed Our Kids Well recipe book, and a link to Ragu.com which has HUNDREDS of recipes and great meal ideas. I’ve used it myself!
Finally, the website has this video created to illustrate just why it is so important to Ragú® to provide wholesome, delicious products like the Fresh and Simple sauce pouches. They know how important our children are to us, how much love and joy they bring to our lives. They know we want to nourish both our children’s imaginations and their appetites. They know that our children are a Daily Gift.
Ragú® is a company that I am proud to support and recommend here on MomReviews. Thank you to MomCentral for providing the Fresh and Simple pouches, and thank you for making them, Ragú®.

Coming soon from WND Telecom is their DUO Atom mobile phone a double SIM mobile phone that has an in-built gravity sensor. The Duo Atom is apparently a “life-enhancing multimedia solution which incorporates cutting edge technology.”
The Atom’s built-in gravity sensor allows the user to effortlessly move between two separate mobile phone accounts at a simple flip of the handset. The handset features a unique touch-pad app allowing the display screen and keypad to reverse as the handset is rotated 180 degrees, which will allow access to each mobile account in turn via the same touch-pad. Other features of the WND Duo Atom mobile phone are a built-in 3 megapixel auto-focus camera, MP3 player, TV-out, 128×64Mbits memory and 128Mbytes storage memory, with a 1.8 inch OLED 176×220 262K display screen, tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900MHz, and measures 109 x 48 x 14.5mm.
The Duo Atom also incorporates Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, JAVA MIDP2.0/CLDC1.1, WAP 2.0 Access, microSD expansion slot. Switching SIM cards has never been simpler just turn the WND DUO Atom upside-down and the built-in sensors will re-orient the handset’s display and activate the other SIM card, and when you wish to return to the other SIM just turn the WND DUO Atom back to right side up and you are now back with the original SIM account.
Currently the WND DUO Atom is billed at coming soon so there is no hard and fast availability date given. As for pricing, well again your guess is as good as anyone’s as WND hasn’t seen fit to publish a price yet either. However if you are one of the dual SIM toting mobile phone lovers out there I guess you’ll be waiting with bated breath for more info on this cleverly classy phone.

It is hard to imagine anyone going up against the new BlackBerry Bold mobile phone in the email stakes considering all the hyped coverage the BlackBerry Bold has been given lately, but it seems rivals based Windows handsets continue to appear such as Motorola’s Q 9h which proved a few weeks ago that taking on the BlackBerry is not entirely a lost cause.
The key factor with a BlackBerry slab style email phone is making sure the keyboard is right, get that right and the rest should fall into place nicely. And this is why Orange’s new SPV-E610 mobile phone which is licensed via Chinese manufacturer Amoi, shows off a promising start.
The SPV-E610 mobile phone has angled diagonal keys that don’t looks as if they are very usable, and look uncannily like the keyboard of the Samsung i620. However, surprisingly these keys are pretty easy to type on making email and text messaging quite easy along with other tasks such as calendar entries.
It’s not actually the size of the buttons that are helpful to the user, but more the spacing of them which means the user isn’t constantly hitting another button by mistake, and they also have a positive click action so you know exactly when they have been entered.
Although the SPV-E610 has a decent keyboard the cluster controls below the screen are not as pleasant to use, as they are just too small while around the edge of the SPV-E610 is a similar story, great to have a scroll wheel, but the power buttons and back button are simply just too small, and so is the Windows Media Player and camera short cut keys.
Looks wise the SPV-E610 is square and blocky and just doesn’t really hold that wow factor. It measures 115 x 62 x 13mm and weighs 125g, and has a rubbery finish while the angular profile gives it the look of being bigger than it actually is.
Unfortunately spec wise disappointment follows on HSDPA is out the window leaving just EDGE and GPRS, Bluetooth is 1.2 and not 2.0, and no WiFi either. A 2 megapixel camera with flash just about makes the grade, and the memory is 128MB storage with 64MB RAM with the option to expand by that saintly little microSD slot.
