Great speaker for the price
What a great sound from this inexpensive outdoor speaker. Very nice for casual outdoor listening. Creates great ambiance. I would recommend for any outdoor area where you are looking for background type music. | 1positive

Good speakers
I use these speakers as my surround and rear channel speaker so most of the time I don't noticed they are there. When I set the amp to 7-stereo or music the speakers come to life and give of rich full sound. Installation was fairly easy, the ceiling required 8' holes, then the speakers clipped onto the sheetrock with screws to secure the clips and prevent vibration. I installed the speakers into new construction, the wires were run prior to sheetrock, and the speakers were installed prior to attic insulation, the job took less than hour, but if you're running wires add several hours. | 1positive

Best earbuds for the price (I paid $6.35)
The only thing I would add not included elsewhere is that they use a 3.5 mm connector. Not the best performing (seeKlipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones (Black)), but the best buy. | 1positive

Very nice for the price
I was looking for medium-budget whole-house audio system. Finding the right receiver at the right price was pretty easy. Using a speaker selector to split the audio to multiple rooms is an affordable option, but speaker impedance matching can be a problem and you need lots of power from the receiver if you want all rooms on at the same time. A power amp is a better solution, but the multi-room amps I found were over $1000. The AudioSource Amp 100 is a great compromise solution - even power distribution to all rooms, good sound quality, and enough power for enjoyable listening. I'm sure the $1000+ amps sound better and can drive more power, but the Amp 100 has what I need.Some of the older review complain about the amp switching off too quickly when losing the audio source. I definitely don't have this problem - the amps shut off after about 5 minutes of no audio signal.The one surprise I got when I received the amp was the volume selector. From the pictures I saw (with two knobs on the front of the unit), I assumed the two channels had separate volume controls. In fact, one knob is volume for both channels and the other knob is balance. Not a big problem, just not what I expected. | 1positive

Amazing, then disappointing
I decided to give Sony one last shot, as I've had some problems with their products in the past. These headphones seemed to be everything I was looking for, and for exactly what I wanted to spend. That should've been my first warning sign.They were perfect for three months, had great quality, the noise cancellation was excellent, I was ecstatic, etc. They never moved from my computer other than two road trips in the backseat of a car. I never took them running with me, I just stuck with my crappy 10 year old pair for that, which have never frayed and have never screwed up. So there was no reason that almost three months to the day I got them, the right earbud simply stopped working. I fiddled with the wires for a bit, but with no luck. Some connection somewhere was dead. It wasn't an earwax or a clogging problem, there's just a dead connection somewhere. I tried contacting Sony's customer support and got thrown around in circles.Long story short, Sony and I have since broken up. I got Shure E3Cs. Extremely pricey, but beautiful. This is truly a case of getting what you pay for. Go with them. | 0negative

First Digital Camera
So after a weekend Cinco de Mayo party where everyone attending owned and was operating a digital camera, I figured it was time to join the revolution. After some research, I decided to go with this camera for the price, and the reviews that I had read in digital camera forums across the net. I am not an expert on digital cameras, nor will I even attempt to elaborate on shutter speed or anything of the sort. What I do know is that this 5.1MP camera captures incredibly vivid pictures, which when viewed on my camera for the first time last night solidified my decision to purchase this fine piece of electronics ingenuity. The video capture mode is also amazing, except I'm going to have to figure how to run them smoothly on my comp, but that could just take some simple editing. Size of the camera is amazing, and it literally fits in your back pocket( it may be slightly larger in construction vs. the canon SD series, but for the prices its unbeatable). I recommend this camera highly, and I'm pleased to add another 5 star rating to this wonderful camera. | 1positive

If you run Windows 2000, don't bother
This scanner was hooked up to my Windows 98 system previously and I had no complaints. I recently had to move it to a Windows 2000 system however and things have changed.I had to download a new software version to support Windows 2000. The new software version 5.12 includes a check at startup for a "Go Button". This scanner does not even have a "Go Button". So basically you have to keep the scanner powered on day and night or be forced close an error message everytime you restart or turn on your computer. Very annoying. Unlike the previous software versions, there is no way to disable this startup function.Keep shopping. | 0negative

Great little speakers! They put out quite a punch for their size and I really like the fold up size of 4.25 x 1.75 x 1.25! The usb cord reels into the speakers with the touch of a botton and you close the lid to completely hide the cord away for storage. Fits great in a note book carry case side pocket. | 1positive

Windows 7, 64-bit users: STAY AWAY. STAY FAR AWAY
OKay, well don't believe those who say they've made it work. This thing works when it WANTS TO. I've tried to discover the great mystery behind this piece of hardware that's suppose to be SIMPLE.THERE IS NO GREAT MYSTERY. This thing just works when it wants to, AND doesn't when it doesn't want to. I swear to you that this is the truth. I've tried every possible solution that the peeps in here suggested. NOTHING WORKED. Zero. Nada. Zinch.DO yourself a favor and buy a different mic. The economy is performing too terrible for me to try to solve the great mystery behind Logitech's mic. Eff that.Peace. | 0negative

Nice case for Sony V1U.
It is a nice case with plenty of room for accessories. It is nice that it has a compartment for the tripod. The shoulder strap is a bit awkward since you have to carry it like a messenger bag and not just over the shoulder. I started getting pain in my neck because of that. Otherwise, a good and secure case. | 1positive

Great camera!
I recently came back from our vacation where I took a lot of pictures. I highly recommend this camera. There were no blurry pictures and I even took some shots through the car window. It's easy to use and it's great being able to zoom in closer. We even dropped the camera on a hike and it's fine, other than some minor scratches. Also, it doesn't ever take red eye shots. | 1positive

Product not as displayed
I have an extensive home network, and every now and then I have to replace cables, usually because the little lock-tab on the connector has broken off or doesn't lock properly any more. The primary cause of the tabs breaking is them getting caught on something as I'm trying to pull them out from behind a desk. Having a feature that protects the tab from that abuse is important to me, and was a primary requirement in my selection. The image for this product shows side guard protectors for the tab, but the product itself has no such protectors.I'm rating this a 2 because they are still useful as cables, even though the lack of tab protection limits their lifespan. | 0negative

A Great Mp3 Player with Mp4 Video capability
I was impressed by the YP-T8z and picked one up in mid-December. The YP-T8z is a very good Mp3 player, and I preferred it to the current market leader (the Apple iPod). While the unit is small, it boasts a flashy elliptical design and a clear 1.8inch colour screen.Pros:- The 1.8 colour screen handles a good 160 by 128 pixel resolution and plays mp4 video files perfectly after conversion to .svi format (a process made simple with the bundled Samsung Multimedia Software)- Music quality is excellent, with an adjustable equaliser and solid bass.- The FM radio was useful, particularly on long trips after my song database had been exhausted.- The recording function was excellent, and I successfully recorded FM audio, voice and music from a CD player.Cons:- While marketed as an "e-book" reader, the unit CAN ONLY READ .TXT FILES. The font size is not adjustable, and words are frequently cut off at the right side of the screen.- I was originally mystified at the concept of "motion-detecting games," but in practice the games are simple, though unusual. In hurdles, you can move the athlete by vigorously moving the player from side to side, swinging the unit vertically to jump (Yes, I did get some odd glances on the train). However, when energetically swinging the mp3 player to encourage the athlete to run, it is nigh-on impossible to see the screen, let alone determine when to jump a virtual hurdle. This problem continued through all of the "motion-detecting" games.- The 20 hour projected play time only applies to music playback. When watching mp4 video, I managed a mere 8 hours, which is still decent considering that I could only coax 2 hours from a more expensive iPod.- The 1GB memory is not expandable.- The unit ships with a simple rubber case with no protection for the screen.In conclusion, despite a variety of unusual features and games, the Samsung YP-T8z is a very good mp3 player with mp4 video playback capability. Small, with an attractive design and finish, the YP-T8z is far superior to similarly-priced mp3 players. | 1positive

Not bad for the price
I bought this system to replace an older Samsung HTIB that was well past it's time. As I started moving to digital components, it only made sense to start using them.The setup is quite simple and I'm glad that Samsung decided to use true speaker wire rather than their proprietary connections. The sound is great, DVD's and FM are clear (even when using HDMI) and I'm glad I bought this unit. My only complaints:1. I wish the rear speakers were similar to the front speakers. The fronts, you have an option as to whether or not you want to set them up on the tower stands. The rears, you have no choice.2. There is only one optical in and I have 3 optical components that I'd like to plug in. Even the older HTIB had 2 optical connections. I can understand not having so many S-Video, RCA cables, etc.... but as things move to digital, it doesn't really give you a lot of options in having other components connect to the theater.3. There is an HDMI-out and an HDMI-in right next to each other which I thought (and was hoping) was some sort of passthrough. Unfortunately, it's not and so the only way I could figure out how to connect my XBox was to connect the HDMI to the TV for video and then connect optical from the XBox to the HT (which is why I have complaints about #2).4. The sub is BIG. Ok, so there is a lot of watts that this thing can push, but it's only ~200 more than my last unit and it doesn't easily fit into my TV stand. It's almost double the size.If you're aware of these potential shortcomings, this is a fantastic unit. I am quite impressed with Samsung and their support! | 1positive

Works great, is well supported
Mahmoud Qudsi's review pretty much nails it, this thing works perfectly on all the major platforms. On my Mac there it is as /dev/cu.usbserial, on Linux /dev/ttyUSB0, and on Windows XP COM 4. It's the perfect solution to your legacy serial device pains (in my case theUNIDEN BC-246T Compact Hand Held Scanner). | 1positive

Sony M51 Monitor - Strange colors

Doesn't work with latest iPods

Bummed out sound
My wife bought this item for my birthday and I loved it for a couple weeks or so. Then, the headphones began to pick up a very loud static ring after 30 minutes or so of use. Gradually it became more frequent until they became unusable. (Yes, I tried new batteries.)Unfortunately, because my wife bought them two months before my birthday they AREN'T COVERED BY THE 90 DAY (who would believe that) WARRANTY! | 0negative

Trash
Had remote for two months and the remote wouldn't charge on the cradle. Logitech sent a re-furbished replacement and cradle, remote doesn't work... but it's charged. So now I have to charge the batteries in the remote that doesn't work but charges and put them in the remote that does work but doesn't charge. Confusing...yes, wouldn't buy this remote. | 0negative

Trouble getting a player that works!!!
After returning and reordering the same "refurbished" RCA DRC6000N player already once because of problems with the the combo player, I was without reason somewhat opptimistic that I would finally get a player that worked correctly. But that didn't happen and the player, although it originally worked fine, now won't display anything but a BLUE screen. It won't display a menu, picture or even open up for that matter!!! I will never order another refurbished RCA model--it's been too much of a headache. | 0negative

Lasted 5 days
It was a good idea, but what they don't tell you is that you can't use this mouse if you keep your mouse and keyboard on a sliding shelf under the front of your computer desk. The mouse is 5-6" high, so when you slide the keyboard shelf forward to get up from the computer desk, the mouse gets knocked off and hits the floor. I lucked out the first time, and it still worked, but the second time, when the phone rang, that was the end of it. I wrote the company, and they didn't respond at all. Now there was only the choice the open it and look in, or throw it out. Of course, I tried to open it. I might have had a chance to fix it, but there's one trick, which I'll tell you here (I learned the hard way, and it's totally broken now). You'll see two small dark philip screws. Unscrew them. But the bottom still won't open. That's because there's a third, hidden under one of the small white circles. It's the one that most forms a triangle with the other two (logical, eh?). I'd tried removing one of the other 3 white circles--wrong door. And when you remove it, use a very tiny or flat screw driver, because it's likely to scratch and wrinkle, so it won't be smooth when you try to replace it afterward.Better yet, wait til the competition invents a cheaper one. | 0negative

Amazing for the Price
Great lens for the price. Slightly slow AF and feels cheap. Although it felt more durable than described in reviews. The bokeh is very nice and when the AF hits just right you get an extra sharp pictures. Great lens for the price, I'll more than likely always carry one as a backup. | 1positive

Didnt work, no service
"While it worked in the sense of, It was recognized, It would not put out use-able video when i tested the same set up with a working cord. The cord i recieved was deffective, And while i did try to contact the company, Could not figure out how to get a refund ect. Returning it would be pointless as it would cost too much to do as it is so cheap anyways. I wish i could get decent service" | 0negative

Small isn't the right word. This is TINY!
Wow, when other reviews said this bag was small, I had no idea it was this small. It is a glorified fanny pack. I could squeeze my Canon xti with the kit lens and lens hood and a 70-300 zoom...the closure was bursting. I could not fit much else in there, a flash would never fit. The top compartment is just big enough for a wallet. That being said, it looks well constructed and may be useful for someone that has very little gear. I'll stick to my shoulder bag for now. | 0negative

Great clock radio with alarm!
I needed an alarm clock with a radio, but hate the old black ones with the red digital display. This one is awesome! You can turn it on as a light, have the radio on or off, and program several radio stations into it. You can even program 2 separate alarm times into it! And you can choose how bright or dim you want the display. It is easy to use and looks great on my night stand. I have owned it about 2 years now and it still works great! | 1positive

A Very good keyboard
I have been usng my Media keyboard for almost a year. I like the hotkeys and the programmable favorites. Setting them up was easy and once you have used them you will never want to go back to a board without them. There is only one thing I would change. The keys are a little heavy. Aside from that it would be a perfect board.I connected my board to the PS2(mouse port)on my computer by using a USB/PS2 adapter. | 1positive

Too big for all heads

solid, cheap DVD player
I purchased this DVD player because I wanted something cheap to get me through until I could afford a Blu Ray player. Its low-profile is definitely a plus if you either don't have a lot of room or don't like the cluttered look that bigger components sometimes have. This DVD player is definitely a bare-bones player, so if you're looking for something simple and reliable this may be the player for you. | 1positive

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas based on all the positive reviews but unfortunately the cd player part didn't work. The radio did, not sure about the tapes since we didn't try it.

Misleading advertising
This film was advertised with black & white cartridges, so I believed it to be B&W. Wrong! The cartridges were color, not B&W. The picture of the cartridge canister was conveniently small enough to escape detection. I only purchased this online because Advantix is no longer making B&W cartridges, so I cannot buy them at my local drugstore or camera store. Why would I spend more on postage than the price of the film if I could get color cartridges at my local CVS? I have learned my lesson. Caveat Emptor! | 0negative

Surge protector has only one coax in/out
I guess there's not much to say about a surge protector 'till a lightning storm cooks your tv! It was easy to hang on the inside of my tv cabinet; the receptacles are spaced out enough so the plugs don't bump into each other; it seems to be working fine.My only complaint would be that it has provisions to protect only one coax cable from the satellite to my box. This doesn't help much because my dvr has two cables running into it. Probably not a big deal... | 1positive

Very disappointing
We have a gated driveway, and I purchased the Driveway Patrol to let me know when a car pulls up to our gate. Unfortunately, everything sets the sensor off, even the movement of a leaf on a tree. I tried putting tape on most of the sensor window as it indicates in the directions, but it still goes off all day long. This might work well to detect motion inside your house, but I still haven't gotten it to work correctly in the driveway where it is intended to go. | 0negative

HP yet again lives up to its excellent reputation
This CD-RW is a great entry level drive. Its speed enables it to burn full CDs in just under 10 minutes(1200 kbps). It also has the full ability to read and write in the best raw format for programs like CloneCD to work, which is a major advantage when trying to backup pesky copy-protected CDs. Although not documented, it also seems to be able to write to the 700MB size CD-Rs as well. It comes with the standard Adaptec software which is very good and quite complete. The only thing I will detract a point for... I plan to upgrade to WindowsXP when it is released and I have noticed that HP is charging for the Win2000 version of the adaptec software. That lets me down a bit. Especially considering similar HP CD-RWs are being sold in major chains with the newer software. This doesn't affect me yet, and the price is reasonable, though there is also third party software to accomplish this task as well. Overall a good drive, though in the past few months better deals have appeared. | 1positive

I wished I had read the reviews before I bought this junk
Rio Nitrus is an expensive junk that should be taken off the market. Do not plan to work out with this machine, stick to flash memory. My Nitrus worked okay for one year and then it just died on me. I have spent hours trying to figure out how to bring it back to life with no success. There are multiple websites dedicated to discussing how bad this device is. I am never getting a Rio again. If you don't believe me, just type in Nitrus in google and see what get. | 0negative

Evo3 OVERRATED
I bought this case and placed it on ebay as soon as I tried it. Although it provides VERY good protection for the the iPod, unforunately there is absolutely nothing stylish about this case. It appears that very good quality materials were used (hence the 3 stars) but the design is very crude and industrial. The plastic cover attracts fingerprint VERY easily. Looking at it I felt I was looking at a piece of black brick. The ad picture looks much better than the actual case. I also felt that the belt clip (it doesnt really "clip", the width is set) does not help secure the case on very well especially if one would use it during workouts. The clip also felt very fragile.I was compelled to post a review on here because I really expected to like this case. I am looking for both functionality and good design. This case did not deliver. I am disappointed. I am giving the Microglove case a try. I will post a review on that one when I receive it in the mail. | 0negative

An Excellent Digital Camera
As an experienced 35mm and medium format photographer with 40 years experience, I have, until recently, been suspicious to the point of hostility of digital cameras. However, I have been amazed at the quality of pictures produced by many digital cameras. My Panasonic Lumix LC40 was an impulse buy but I am delighted I took the plunge. The combination of excellent lens and 4 megapixels delivers pictures that capture many subtle shades and colours. This is particularly true when shooting the subdued tones of a British winter.There is also a special magic about taking a batch of photographs, downloading them then wiping the memory card. There are some disadvantages to this camera. The 16mb memory card is rather small enabling you to save only 7 shots at max resolution. When using the LCD screen ( a must when shooting macro shots) the image is difficult to see in bright daylight. The abscence of full manual controls is a limiting factor. But these really are quibbles when set against a camera that has fired up my creative imagination and revived my interest in photography.Whether your interest is capturing creative images or just shots of the family buy an LC40 today. You will not regret it! | 1positive

Great (and cheap)
I've owned three of these guys for about a month now. They are easy to attach and they seem to stick quite well to the lens caps. As someone else mentioned, if you're worried they won't, you can always add some adhesive of your own. It can sometimes be a little hard to find an appropriate spot to attach the strap to the lens, especially for short lenses like the Canon 50mm f/1.8 , but it's only really a problem when you change lenses (the strap falls off the end of the lens), and even then the strap is really easy to put back on. | 1positive

Made for PCs but pretty good for a Mac, too
I've never had a wireless keyboard before so I can't compare this one to others, but I have to say it's easy to use, easy to set up and hasn't given me any trouble. I use the little teeny wireless mouse from Iogear for my laptop and that works great, too.Now the full size mouse that comes with the wireless keyboard feels large in my hand, but very comfortable, too.The only downside is that this is really made for PCs (which I somehow missed I guess) so most all of the cool functionality of automatically connecting to the internet, your e-mail, etc., doesn't work on a Mac. I've got spare buttons all over the place that have no function for me -- even on the mouse.And I've had to get used to looking at the little windows symbol instead of my familiar apple and an "alt" key instead of the "option" key -- and their reverse positioning on the keyboard means I have to pay attention to which keyboard I'm on or I get some pretty funny characters instead of copying and pasting.But all in all, I'm really quite happy. It's large, easy to click around on (and I do mean "click" -- so don't buy this one if you want Apple's nice silent keys) and very handy even though I don't get too far from my computer -- at least there's one less clump of wires to deal with.Hope this helps! | 1positive

Prefer plugs with string connector
I use these for sleeping. I am sensitive to sounds and my husband snores...so does our cat(!)...so these help me sleep by diminishing, but not eliminating, sound. Useful for travel too whether for sleeping in a plane or in a hotel.I mistakenly ordered the plugs without the string connecting them. Sometimes one plug falls out of my ear during the night and without the "leash", it essentially disappears, leaving me to rummage around for it or open another packet of plugs.I also apparently have small ear canals. These are the smallest plugs I've found and they still require a little effort to insert. Would love to see a manufacturer make earplugs for smaller ears. | 1positive

Best in Class
I paid $100 for a camera I use at home from a well known computer manufacturer. Logitech clearly better. I use the Logitech at work and take it on the road with me. Less digital squares and better when people move whiles its on. Microphone works fine. Though this camera is pricer than some it's worth it. I am thinking of giving my other camera to the kids and buying another one. I wish it came with a carring case. | 1positive

Minor flaws make other Brother products a better choice
I purchased the MFC-9700 because I needed a second multifunction device and I really like the MFC-9600 which I already own.Unfortunately, the MFC-9700 is disappointing for several reasons.First the user interface is significantly more difficult to use than on the MFC-9600 or on the new Brother MFC-8xxx series (which I highly recommend: See my review of the MFC-8820DN).Second, the individual sheet feeder is flawed such that individual small sheets (labels and envelopes) simply cannot be fed straight. I exchanged mine at Amazon.com once, but it still has the same problem.Third, as someone else noted in another review, Brother printers and MFC devices are power hogs. They make the lights dim and will trip your uninterruptible power supply if you are on a 15 amp circuit (20 amp circuits don't have the problem). This is actually a problem with most Brother printers and MFC devices, so its not unique to this problem. The real problem is that Brother gives no indication in the user manual of the real power draw involved with this product and the published specifications are highly dubious given what my electrician has told me.Fourth, although I previously found Brother support to be very helpful, they were useless when I was trying to find out why the lights dimmed and, as a result, I ended up spending $$ on electricians that I could have avoided if I had known that the printer was the problem.These last two issues alone wouldn't keep me from making a good recommendation, because the same issues exist with the MFC-8820DN. Every product has its flaws. But, given these issues in combination with the poor interface and the sheet-fed problem, pass on this and go with one of the new MFC-8820 or 8402 models. | 0negative

This is NOT an SDHC card, but it works fine
Sandisk's different "models" of SD cards do a good job of confusing customers -- even if you go to their site to check them out. The Ultra II is a good card (I've used it for a few days, with no problem), but a lot slower than the Sandisk Extreme or the Panasonic SDHC Class 6. Of the three, the only one my laptop's card reader can upload is this one (I got a Sandisk Micromate reader for the other two). So this card should work on any device that takes regular SD cards. | 1positive

Dried out ink?
I should have known a price this inexpensive was too good to be true. Upon installing the ink, I did a test print... the result was very light, almost green in hue. I thought perhaps it would get better after subsequent print jobs -- maybe it just needed a while to get the ink flowing -- but unfortunately I was wrong. Definitely not the quality I need. | 0negative

RUINED, Not Repaired, My DVDs!
I followed the instructions exactly, but the Skip Dr. machine still managed to make my 2 barely-scratched DVDs even worse. I bought the ZDAG / Simo machine instead and it worked right from the first time... it repaired the DVDs that the Skip Dr. had made worse. I am so happy now. Thank you, Amazon, for offering the ZDAG machine and thank you to all the reviewers so far who have given the ZDAG machine all 5-star reviews! | 0negative

mediocre but cheap
this item was cheap. that's why i bought it. it does what it needs to do - play music from my mp3 player on my car stereo. the major drawback is that it just shuts off periodically in the middle of a song, so i have to unplug it and plug it in again. i have a cheap mp3 player too, which makes the music a little distorted in conjuction with adaptor. it's acceptable. if i wanted a better product i would have shelled out more money. | 0negative

Firstly, let it be said that this antenna is not intended for permanent use. It is meant to be used temporarily. That said, it works great when I need it. | 1positive

Great! Clear Picture-Not much pixelation
I purchased a frame made by a different company and it was terrible. It was incredibly pixelated. This frame gives you a nice clear picture and the software is failry user friendly. Would remcommend this frame to those who are looking to purchase a digital photo frame. | 1positive

The best earplugs I've ever used
I've been using this product for nearly ten years. I wear them to sleep. These are excellent earplugs. They're oh-so-slightly smaller to provide an excellent fit for normal ears. They give superior noise protection if you insert them according to the directions. I always carry an extra pair in my handbag in case I encounter crying children on planes. | 1positive

Disappointed in Nukote quality
The refill kit was a waste of time and money, not to mention a big mess. It took days for the ink to fade from my fingers. The refilled cartridge did not have any yellow output whatsoever, so it didn't print colors appropriately. Won't try that again! | 0negative

Worst Crap Ever
I recieved this item for Christmas and thought wow this is cool but I was wrong. Fist of all the interface sucks its too damn sensitive oh and forget about trying to select a song from your playlist cause its just too damn sensitive. The last straw for me was one month after I got this item the battery refused to charge itself It eventually charged after I let it charging for 12 hours!! Once I finally got it charged guess what the battery life only lasts no more than 2 hours. So now I'm thinking about trashing this junk I refuse to buy another battery cause the same thing will probably happen again. Dont buy this please save your money there are better mp3 players out there! | 0negative

Not a bad case really, but a bit over-priced.
I use this case primarily for transporting the iPod because when I'm listening to the iPod, I typically just place it in my shirt pocket by itself. I didn't want a case that is made to stay on the iPod full time-they add too much bulk, seal in too much heat, and often look weird, covering up the beautiful design of the iPod itself. I much prefer the ability to easily slip the iPod in and out of a case, which is why I recommend this slipcase. You do need something to put the iPod in when transporting it even if you are like me and actually prefer no case. I really wouldn't want to throw my iPod loose by itself into my backpack or car seat or drawer or whatever without any protection.I like the fact that the top of this case is open because that means you don't have to unplug the headphones as often. Sometimes, I clip the case belt clip to my inside jacket pocket and I have a fairly secure place to put the iPod when I'm listening to it. I've also clipped it to the car sun visor when I've been a passengar on a long car trip. I also have the option of wearing the iPod on my belt with this case, which I will sometimes do when gardening or going for a walk and I don't have a shirt or jacket with pockets.As you can probably tell, my iPod usage is quite variable and I think this is the best case for multi uses. I have yet to find one that's any better for me. It seems to suit all of my needs adaquately although it may not be perfect, I don't find it difficult to quickly slide the iPod out of this case to adjust the controls or look at the displayBut I don't feel this case represents a good value at the full retail price. It's simply too expensive at that price. | 1positive

Unfortunate little disaster -
I was excited to get my Averatec tablet and intergrate my several systems on to it. After merely a month and a half, the computer is useless. Since I run a paperless office, this resulted in not only huge inconvenience, but major lost time.While the Averatec Tablet 3500c provides some nice features - i.e. a sharp VGA screen and a large hard drive - it is constructed very poorly and is totally unreliable.I handle the computer with kid gloves. However, the junction at the swivel hinge began to decay after only a month. The video connection with the computer became unstable and the video would intermittantly be disrupted.When you have a client sitting in the office waiting for a document to be produced for signature, this is totally unacceptable.Unfortunately, I did not buy the extended warranty. In this case, that decision proved to be costly.When I called Averatec for assistance (after having the computer a mere 45 days) I was met with an aloof attitude and a rigid repair policy. The computer would tied up for "seven to ten business days." After requesting to speak with a supervisor, I learned that there were no exceptions to the policy and no way to expedite the repair. Further, the attitude of the company clearly conveyed a total lack of understanding (or caring) for the computing needs related to running an office with their equipment.Even if I were to get the machine repaired, the problems encountered here negate the possibility of further use of the machine or further dealings with Averatec. I simply cannot depend on either.After writing this review, I will be spending the rest of the day finding and rebuilding another machine, only to have lost all of the time and money invested herein.What I thought would be a unique piece of equipment turned into an unfortunate little disaster. | 0negative

Great camera!
I bought a cheap camera from Agfa, sent it back. I read a lot of reviews and decided on the Olympus D-360L. It takes great pictures for Web publishing. I haven't even used the maximum resolution setting on it yet, as only two photos will fit on the 8MB card, and I compress the photos for the Web anyway. I don't print pictures from it, since 35mm is so much cheaper, but I'd think 5x7 photos would look great with a good dye sublimation printer.I bought an inexpensive SmartMedia USB reader from Sandisk ($30), so transferring pictures is quick, painless, and doesn't eat batteries. As far as I know, the USB reader will work on a Mac, but I don't own a Mac. The only thing I wish is that I would have bought the D-460Z instead, as I really miss a zoom feature. The digital zoom on the 360 is not worth using. | 1positive

Huge steaming pile
I bought this remote in hopes of ridding myself of the four remotes it takes to operate my a/v system. However until I opened it and began trying to program it, I didn't realize it doesn't work with any of my equipment. I have a Phillips 55" Widescreen television, and it would not change the video inputs, or the screen setup, i.e. widescreen, panaramic, 4:3.I have a Sony reciever and a Sony DVD/VCR combo, and after speaking with someone from Sony who had a very slight hold at best of the English language, I was told that I could not program this remote to operate either system. It's kind of ironic that Sony bills this as such a wonderful universal remote, and it won't even operate their own equipment. I also have a Motorola cable DV-R box that couldn't be operated with this controller as well. Please do yourself a favor this holiday season, order something else. | 0negative

Good for home use
This Flashlight is bright and very handy, so this would satisfy an average user. But I think it is inappropriate for them to use the word Special forces, cause military flashlights are far more powerful and they also cost you around 40-70$ at some online stores. But occasionally you can find them at ebay for 20-25$ including shipping.Finally, this is good for civilians but definitely not a military piece.This is my update. After using it for two months I see it losing its power and it is no more behaving consistently. So, its just like a pocket thing not a serious product. | 1positive

Didn't last
I was perfectly happy with this set despite the fact that it bypasses your soundcards features - until they malfunctioned. The volume control is broken and forces the volume to 0. I found that at least two other people had this problem on the Logitech website where there was no solution and no response from Logitech via email.Very dissapointed and out $40 to boot. | 0negative

Very Short Life for the RCA F38310 HDTV
I bought this television a week ago. It worked only 4 days and then went off completely. It will not turn on at all. I checked the instruction manual and learned that the TV has a protective circuit, which turns it off in case of a power surge. I tried all the methods prescribed by RCA to get the TV back on but nothing worked. Finally a RCA appointed local technician checked it and found that a component in the power supply board has burned itself. Four days is an awfully short life for a failure of the circuit board. I am going to get rid of this TV now and buy something else. Please note I also use a real good surge protector for this TV and all my stereo components. I do not believe that the TV ever was surged. Another shortcoming is that RCA provided only a single set of component video inputs. This becomes a real problem, if you have two high performance devices to connect to this TV (like a progressive scan DVD player, and a HD Decoder box for the cable TV). You can get around this by getting a component video switch. However, there are not many such switches are around at this time. The least expensive one I found is made by JVC and is available for about $ 100 ffrom some online retailers. I hope RCA takes notice of these issues and resolve them as soon as possible. | 0negative

Philips products are defect prone - beware!
Failed to write, lost memory, damaged CDs, ruined over 40 blank CDs by failing in mid recording. EVERY Philips CD recorder we tried is junk! And forget their customer care even if you purchase their pricey coverage plan (which you will need if you buy their machines). The positive reviews appear to be people who were the fortunate few. Sadly Philips, which was one of the inventors of the CD technology, has failed to keep up their reputation in the CD recorder market. Buyer beware! | 0negative

May need to do some work
It is good to see many positive reviews for this. Don't be discouraged if you buy this and don't get good results. You may have to do some work. First, you must follow the directions and ensure the correct sides of the antennas are pointed at each other. Next, you must ensure you have a clean channel selected from one of the four choices. I got the worst reception at channels A and D, but B and C came in clearly. Pay special attention to all 2.4 GHz transmitters you own, by seeing what channels they transmit on. I found the interference was not my wavelan, but my Logitech wireless joystick, so check the bands and frequencies of everything in your home that is on 2.4 GHz and choose a channel that is not in use. This product as adequate, but you may have to do some troubleshooting to get the best out of it. | 1positive

AWESOME!
I bought this little guy about 2 years ago and I use it for the gym. It's great for workouts, small but holds enough MP3's to get me through my two hours at the gym.I see idiots running around with this big bulky ipods with the color screens and wonder why they would bring that to work out? Too bulky, to expensive if you drop it AND you cannot watch movies while working out.Otherwise a GREAT buy! | 1positive

Super rad hard drive
I received this bad boy today and plugged it right into my Dell laptop. Right away, it sprang to life and transferred about 30 gigs in a matter of minutes. It runs quietly and lights up all happily to tell me how much space it's got left.For all the space in this hard drive, it's very small and considerably light. My brother has some monstrosity with only 150 gigs; it kinda resembles the monolith in "2001: A Space Odyssey." I'm very happy with something much smaller and faster.The best part about setting up this hard drive is that I bought it without a manual, and didn't need it for a second. It's plug-and-play-rific.I won't purport to be an expert in techie stuff, but I would recommend the Simpletech device to any rookie or even vets. It's really absurd how happy I am about a hard drive. | 1positive

Excellent Quality & Price
I like to sometimes play my music a little loud and these speakers handle it just fine, even with a song that has major bass to it. The design is nice too.... I really appreciate the headphone jack located on the front of the speaker it makes it easier than trying to fool around in the back of the computer to plug headphones in. Also the sub woofer is not so big that you have no place to go with it. I was worried about the quality because the low price but Logitech has come through again! | 1positive

Mediocre quality, at best
I purchased an identical unit at Radio Shack a few years ago. It hasn't been more than 2-3 years and recently my husband was cranking up the handle and it literally broke off in his hands. The antenna end snapped off about six months ago, and the reception is adequate but not great. He went back to Radio Shack looking for a similar product and looked at a higher-end Grundig, asking the saleswoman about the quality of the product. As they were talking, a knob came off the radio, to her embarrassment. Needless to say, we will not be purchasing another Grundig shortwave radio. | 0negative

Well engineered solution!
This is one amazing little device. When I bought the first one it worked very well . I kept wondering what the "catch " or hidden flaw might be. The truth is that there is none. I found the battery life between charge cycles to be simply amazing.It's hard to believe how well this unit works untill you've tried one. Kudos to the Martian engineering department! | 1positive

A classic that delivers
After struggling with a weak wireless signal in my house, and after messing around with all the latest wireless routers, I was about to give up... until I decided to try this old workhorse. WOW. Finally my house is filled with a strong wireless signal! I can't believe how great this router works.It comes with a CD, but you can just plug the router in and connect to the "linksys" wireless network to configure it. Just point your browser to [...] (username: admin password: admin)Enjoy! | 1positive
