A Very Comfortable Keyboard
This keyboard is the best among mini-keyboards. I tried several mini-keyboards but found the keys to be too small. The Goldtouch keyboard, however, has the same full-size keys as a regular extended keyboard, except it does not have the numeric, 10-keypad on the right. Even the function keys are full size. Some keys on ultra-thin mini-keyboards barely actuate, which makes it difficult to tell if you typed that key at all. When you press a key on the Goldtouch, it lowers a good quarter inch. And unlike other split keyboards set at a permanent angle, it uses a ball and socket, so you can adjust the split to any angle up to 30 degrees, horizontal and vertical. The keys are easy to press and very quiet.The only thing I do not like about the keyboard is that the Caps Lock key is too close to the A key. When I mistype, I start typing in ALL CAPS by mistake. However, if you are a good typist, you should not have this problem. | 45 stars

Solid product
If you have a need for an Ipod charger, this will more than meet your expectations. We used it with the JBL sound dock, and had great sound on the deck at the beach for uninterrupted hours.A good product, nice price and it actually works! | 45 stars

Great "case" for my small GRID IT Organizer
I needed some type of case to slide my GRID IT in before dropping it into my briefcase when I get out of my car and walk to the office. I've also found that this sleeve, when I put it down on the car console first, keeps the grid it from sliding when I turn corners. The most important thing is that I can easily slide the Grid It into this sleeve and then the things on the grid it don't snag on things in my briefcase when I drop it in.This case is the right price and the solid black looks professional.I'm using this GRID ITCocoon CPG5BK GRID-IT Organizer, 10.25 x 5.125 Inch, Blackto secure my cell phone, notecards (lined ones I got from Levenger), chapstick, gum and month at a glance calendar (I attached it to the back of the grid it using velcro sticky tape). | 34 stars

Driver Confusion
Once this thing is installed, it works great. However, I had trouble installing the drive because Windows could not find the driver on the installation CD. Customer support insisted that the driver was in the HotBurn software. I finally downloaded the driver from the Iomega website. After running a Windows Update and updating the Intel USB chipset from the Intel website, I was able to get Windows to search for the driver. Still not found on the CD and HotBurn does NOT install the driver. I finally found it and installed it from Windows/Drivers. That's where the Iomega .exe download put it. | 23 stars

Frontier Labs Nex Ia+ 512MB
I have been looking around for a MP3 player with a radio and a decent amount of memory for around []; so when I saw this I was naturally happy that I could have an infinate amount of cards with different groups of songs etc on them.When I bought my player towards the end of January 2004 Frontier labs had brought out a new version of the Nex Ia the Nex Ia+. Before I had bought my player I had read some of the reviews and had heard about the minoour flaws of this player; however on revieving my Nex Ia+ none of the flaws which Ihad read about seemed to be in evidence. Infact Ifound the flash/microdrive door hard to open, I don't know if these are improvement made apon the Ia+ but I would certainly recomend splashing out the extra [] for it. I bought my player off ... living in the UK I couldnt order off here ;-(I decided to buy the player with no memory and have a shop around for memory to see if it would be cheaper buying it speratly, which it was by a full []. I ordered mine off ...I was very pleased with the two above sites both delivering my order within 24 hours!!Just a quick note on connecting this player to your P.C. : For the removable drive to be found I have to be in the actual player mode. You must also plug in the USB cable after the layer mode is innialated (sorry if i spelt it wrong). (I have win XP Prof so it may be different on your systems)SummaryA very good player to go for with excerlent sound quality. Try shopping around for the memory as you can save yourself some of your preasous money. Also you may want to get some new headphones as the ones suppilied I did not like (well they cant please everyone). | 45 stars

What can I say? It works.
It ought to be simple to write a review about a battery charger shouldn't it? Basically, either it works or it doesn't. With such a high percentage of new electronics failing, or not working as advertised, I can say with pleasure that this charger does work as advertised, and very well. There are cheaper brands, but it isn't worth the risk to me to spend time running stuff back and forth to the store hoping to find one that works. | 45 stars

Mighty Mouse
Great product for the price. Easy to install and use. Very functional and sensitive. I have a small desk with limited space, and way too many cords already, and the mouse cord was always getting caught on the corner of the keyboard drawer. No problem now. I like it immensely. Great value with the current rebate. | 45 stars

Great Value
I received the item quickly from the distributor and I have been impressed. The product suits my needs perfectly and I have had no problems with the item. It seems like the product is a great value for the cheap price that you pay for it! I would defnitely recommend it if you have multiple devices that you are trying to plug in and want to keep some of those cords from being seen! | 45 stars

SD Card great, problems with Cruzer drive
I use the SD card in my Palm (m505) with considerable success and am happy with it from a pure PDA expansion perspective. I have found that the Cruzer drive is unreliable, usually Windows sees it as "write only" which means the Cruzer is only useful to read what I can put on the card using the Palm. (I have checked the write protect slide on the card). This means I cannot use it to transport files, keep personal backups, etc. SanDisk tech support were very helpful and responsive, since I have been handed over to "customer relations", I have heard nothing in over a week. | 23 stars

Just Beautiful
I'd been thinking about getting a second monitor for my laptop for quite some time and finally decided to get this one. My GOD it is truely a thing of beauty. I have it in portrait mode beside my laptop and have the desktop extended across both screens. The ability to have a *.pdf open in the portrait mode means you can see about 1 and a half pages at an easily readable resolution. And with word open in my laptop screen its easy to make notes on the *.pdf in MS Word. Its also great for having two applications open at the same time each taking up half the screen, with a third application open full screen on the laptop. A real productivity booster. | 45 stars

a good time!
This camera is so much fun! The quality is not that great but that's ok! it's a toy! The pictures come out so interesting! I suggest using a lot of natural light and a faster film speed. Btw, be careful of the pull that winds the film. The thing feels like it could snap and break. Other than that, an awesome alternative to photography. | 45 stars

Great Deal, Product Works
I had misgivings about ordering this charger, because 1) I didn't know anything about rechargables, and 2) it seemed too cheap to be true. But it seems to work fine -- great value. Using it to recharge batteries in my newly-acquired Canon 40D. | 45 stars

Great drive, unbeatable 5 year warranty for the price
You may think that a 5 year warranty is useless, but I've been working in the IT for more than 10 years and can tell you that all drives fail in time. Some will last for many years beyond the warranty, some only a few months. It's reassuring to know that your drive was designed to last a long time but if it does fail, that they'll be there to replace it. I've also owned many other brands such as JTS, Maxtor, WD, Quantum, Fujitsu and Hitachi in both IDE and SCSI interfaces. While some are better than others, none of them can compete with an industry first, 5 years warranty. Most consumer retail drives only offer 1 year, a few higher end consumer drives offer 3 years.PROS:1. NCQ can improve peformace if your SATA controller/motherboard supports it2. Retail box includes all cables, documentation and excellent packaging3. True SATA interface ensures lightening quick access to your files versus other companies that use an IDE to SATA bridge (basically adding a SATA interface to an IDE designed drive)4. Built in temperature sensor that can be accessed using S.M.A.R.T utilitiesCONS:1. The drive is noisy, you can hear the heads tick as they pass over the platters. The ticks aren't so loud that it sounds like your hard drive is on its last leg, but loud enough to catch your attention.2. Like all the other storage manufacturers, this drive is made in a variety of countries, the last two I bought were made in Malaysia and China. | 34 stars

2-port Power outlet Hub
I was very happy with the 2-port plug outlet that I received. It was "brand new" in the sealed plastic package and I received it very quikly. I will buy from them again. The company that made this hub set cost at around $35.00 but, I got it brand new for about a $1.25 plus shipping thru Amazon. | 45 stars

I should have passed on this one.
I ordered it (1GHz) NEW through "Electronic Express". It had been repackaged into a container for a 2GHz splitter with Scotch tape. I don't know if it was used but it wasn't "new in box" (See customer images). The (1GHz) splitter I'd been using for 10 years performs better (doesn't pixelate) so I switched back to it and will never use the Monster. It's not cost effective to return it but it was $$$ well spent to verify the common theory that "Monster" gets a premium price for poor quality products. Amazon is awesome but Electronic Express has seen the last of my business. | 01 star

six years in, still works like a charm
We bought this unit originally to play CDs and, secondarily, MP3 CDs. It has been used frequently ever since, and our use has evolved. Nowadays, the primary use is as speakers for an iPhone connected to the "Line In" port. It would be nice if it had a proper USB connector for the phone, so it could charge it as well as playing the music, but this is not a large problem. The sound is good, the unit works, and it's attractive compared to most boomboxes. | 34 stars

Not too shabby
So far so good.Good: Easy to use. The sound quality is better than the radio. Recharges pretty quickly.Bad: It's not the product's fault, but you do have to play with the volume, some songs have a lower volume than others. Too bad you can't control the songs through the ipod with the transmitter. You have to use the navigation on the ipod, which if you're driving might be a problem. | 34 stars

Recorded DVD video disc would not play!
I spent hours trying to create a DVD video disc of a soccer game wihtout success. The original video content was loaded into its Hard Disk Drive (HDD) with no problem. THe creation of a DVD Video disc was another story. I used DVD-R disc and followed the instructions line by line. At the end of the disc creation process, the machine went into the disc finalizing mode to complete the process. But then it immediately went into the loading mode (you can see the word LOADING on the upper right corner of the screen). After a few minutes, it stopped and gave me a message that the disc was either damaged or dirty. This is the same disk that it just recorded. I spent 7 hours and wasted 6 discs and gave up. I do not recommend this recorder! | 01 star

Very Cool!
It has a silly name but it is an extremely useful piece of technology. The Belkin iPod mic' enables me to easily tap into a reservoir of functionality hidden in my iPod. I use it as a musical sketch pad, as well as to capture meetings and rehearsal, etc. I also use it to record conversations for podcasting. | 45 stars

not working correctly, not supported, not even new...
Worst purchase ever!First, this was for audio only, no video required. Receiver and transmitter were about 50 feet apart, with clear line of sight. No walls, no barriers(let me say that again, 50 feet of air...). Audio had almost continuous, LOUD, pops and crackles in it. Tried the units on all eight channels and NO difference... Tried adjusting the gain on both units... Any human movement near the transmitter made the pops and crackles even worse.Second, the unit I received had been opened before. Bags were not sealed, wire ties on power supplies missing, RCA cables were loose. Unit was missing one RCA to BNC adapter!Third, NO support of any kind, either ships with the unit nor is available on line.Failure to work... Failure to help me MAKE it work... Failure in sending me a complete unit...The Terk wireless units are sketchy and cheap and a crap shoot at best, and they are rock solid pieces of engineering compared to this hunk of junk.The ONLY positive thing I can say about this unit is that it comes in a sporty metal housing... | 01 star

I'd buy one again...despite...
I've had a few of these keyboards--and they're my favorite keyboard. And I've had a lot of different keyboards over the years. I have had to return two or three of them because of the problem at least one other person described. That is where certain keys just lost their ability to be recognized when you clicked on them. Still, despite that and having to get a new one, I like the comfort, key locations and key sizes--especially of the keys between the main alphabet and 10-key sections. I'd buy another one--unless a better one becomes available. | 34 stars

I like the concept, but it has its problems
Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 Keyboard and Mouse Combo. I purchased this item for I think $99. All of the controls are great. 5 favorites to program, another 5 programmable buttons.The down side is that the mouse does not always click. When selecting an item on the screen, I wait for a response but the computer has not seen the click yet. The keyboard has similar problems. When typing it does not see all of the characters typed. I thought it might be the proximity to the receiver, but I have simiar problems even 2 inches way as 3 feet.I felt the battery may be low or dead but by changing the battery did not help. I could not find support on the micrsoft site. I would prefer the hardwired for accuracy. I counted 7 typoes in preparing this response alone. | 23 stars

IT is not so great
Well in performance I don't think it is a big deal, but I'm comparing it with an axis 206. For it's price it is ok, at least if it is all that matters, but I rather prefer an axis camera.Pros:nice lookpriceCons:not so high fpsnot so well quality of image(but ok for it's price)And about the software, I don't know, I don't use it.Conclusion:If you just want it for monitorig not so big areas it will do the job, and about it's zoom not a big deal.Just remember that it is cheap!!!! | 23 stars

Excellent splitter, don't spend more elsewhere!
I saw several splitters here at Amazon. I was really apprehensive about getting this splitter because it was so inexpensive. I saw brand name splitter for over $20 and quality is often synonymous price, but I figured... what the heck it's only $2 it won't break me!This splitter worked excellent! I have an OTA digital antenna and three televisions in the Los Angeles area (50-miles from most of the TV broadcast antennas). My house is behind a hill and I never got very good reception when I had an analog antenna hooked to just one television. I figured that splitting the digital signal would just kill the signal to all of the televisions. Boy was I wrong! All of the televisions get excellent reception with plenty of signal strength and they never drop off of get pixilation.If you need a 3-way splitter get this one you will not be sorry and you will even save a few dollars in the process. | 45 stars

Unusable
There are no MINUS or 0 star options. I have been recording audio books from Libri-vox to listen to at a later date and also renting audio books from our local library. Half-way through listening, EVERY one of the recordings becomes scratchy over the voice readings 'til you can no longer recognize the words.Re-recorded on another brand and the sound recording was fine. Tried Verbatim on other devices, and the sound was still absolutely horrible. Also downloaded other recording software with the same scratchy results. Verbatim 97458 700MB 52x80 are Totally UNUSABLE! | 01 star

Full Strength Signal At Last...all the time!!!!
My XM signal was real spotty using the indoor antenna that came with my SKYFI2 home kit. There were days that I would get 3 bars but more often than not, 2 bars was a good day, and a "usual" day was one bar with the signal annoyingly cutting in and out. I decided to give the Terk XM6 antenna a try. It only took about an hour to mount the antenna on the roof and to run RG6 cable from the antenna down to the basement and then up into the living room. BINGO....3 bars...all the time...every day....every night. As I listen to my radio a lot, I am very happy. If only all of my purchases were as successful as this one. This was money well spent!!! | 45 stars

Oh my God! These are amazing.
For the price, there are no better headphones out there. Nice fit (I don't have big hair) and great sound. I'm sure that there are headphones out there that sound better, but they are twice or three times the price, possibly more. You will not be disappointed. BTW, I am coming from a pair of Sony MDR-V200 phones. Nice, but the HD-280 blows them away. | 45 stars

Excellent Price/Value - From Sony???
OK, I admit it, I have always lusted after a Sony machine, then chickened out once I saw the price. Heck, I even bought one once then took it back because the price was just so ludicrously high I couldn't justify hanging onto it.But the CR120 is really a bargain, assuming you're not looking to play the highest end games on it. The keyboard (shamelessly copied from Apple, IMHO) is responsive and nice to use; the screen is out-of-this-world clear and bright; and the specs for the price are extremely comparable to the real competition, which is the smaller Dells.So far, I've nothing to complain about except the battery life, which is not at all bad when you're not doing much, but runs down fast with a DVD going. Odd note - unlike the HPs, the Sony actually uses up more power playing DVDs in AV mode (i.e. without Windows running) than if you just load up Windows on Power Saver mode and play them on Media Player or similar...weird.You lose a lot configurability by going this way, but the benefit is that if the specs are in your wheelhouse, you'll save a bundle over going custom-made from any of the other vendors. For me, there is plenty on board, and I use it all day every day to work - and I'm not missing my HP or Lenovo at all!The one thing you have to know is that Sony continue to load the thing up with unacceptable amounts of garbage tester programs. Take the time to remove them, and you've got a slick, very effective machine! | 45 stars

Thank you Amazon!
After a lot of research and waiting for price drops, especially on Dell and Sony, I decided to go with Toshiba. Then I found a great deal on Amazon. Final price without tax or shipping is lower than from Best Buy or Circuit City (and don't have to wait for the store rebate). Plus I got a set of accessories for free, and rebate (free) on a backpack. But perhaps the most impressive thing was that I ordered this notebook on Sep. 16, using free, standard shipping, and got it on Sep 18 !!! Almost too good to be true.About the computer, so far so good. Quiet, fast. One thing I have to warn you is that this computer is set to "hibernate" when you close the display panel, meaning that it will shut down. I'm not very familair with notebook computers so I don't know this, and the computer doesn't come with the manual, causing a little frustation trying to solve the problem. So I found out that you to push the on/off button long enough to boot it back on. I almost thought I got a defective one.It's a little heavy like other reviewers said. Screen is better than I thought (but maybe not for large 3D games). Speaker is ok, standard. Should include a manual instead of a user guide file(because if you can't get the computer to start, how can you read it!??). But if you plan to use it as a desktop replacement, it's looks and feels sturdy enough, and I trust Toshiba, in terms of reliablity. | 45 stars

Very good Up-Conversion
This is an excellent DVD player for the price.I bought the LG 7832NCX to replace my Samsung HD931.Both dvd unit used the same Faroudja Scaler but the LG (Zenith) has done a better job to integrate the chip correctly.I'm using a Sony GWIII KF50WE601, great match.Using the Sony GWIII I don't see too much difference between 720P or 1080i, but several people agree that 1080i output is better.The DVI connection is OK but the analog output give better results.The remote control is horrible...So far I'm very please with LG products, good quality for cheap.I don't want to buy anything else from Samsung. | 45 stars

Easy to mount on wall, plenty of plugs
It's very easy to mount on the wall (it comes with 2 clips that attach to the wall, then the power strip attaches to the clips). All of my electronics (9 devices) fit with room to spare. The strip also comes with plug covers which will come in handy over time (for dust control). While long (4 feet) the entire strip is hidden behind my desk. Since I mounted the strip fairly high (just under the lip of my desk), I now cannot see hanging cords from the doorway. For cord control I used zip ties, and used a large Command hook for the excess length of the strip power cord (you get 15 feet, I only need 2 feet). I am very glad that I splurged and got this device, it's worth every penny. | 45 stars

No fail operation each and every time.
I have to admit, the Elinchrom EL-Skyport competitor units have more advantageous specifications on paper compared to these PocketWizard Plus II units. There are a few other wireless units out there, but only two of these brands can compete if you want serious no-fail gear. Heres the comparison:POCKETWIZARD PLUS II1. 16-bit / 344.04MHz2. Sync up to 1/500s3. 4 Channels4. 1600+ foot range5. AA battery or AC6. Transceiver (auto-sensing, no need to purchase different units)7. Flexible rubber antenna (no swivel)ELINCHROM EL-SKYPORT1. 40-bit / 2.4GHz2. Sync up to 1/1000s3. 8 Channels4. 50 meter range indoor / 120 meter range outdoor (394 foot range)5. CR2430 3.0V battery or AC6. Receiver or Transmitter models are separate7. Flexible 360 degree swivel antennaThe PocketWizards are even bulkier than the Skyports which are flat. The antenna of the PocketWizard looks fragile and doesn't hide or swivel down when being kept. In fact the plastic build and feel of the PocketWizard feels like a cheap radio control toy for kids.And to add more to the above, it's almost twice as expensive than the Skyport.So why did I still get the PocketWizard unit? The PocketWizard MultiMax transceiver is more versatile and more advanced in features than the above two models which is what I am aiming to grab to control the other PocketWizard units. I'm investing and banking on the fact that PocketWizard will try to strike a deal with other manufacturers for wireless flash trigger.They started with Mamiya Corporation and equipped their Sekonic's current light meters with the technology including my Sekonic L-758Cine flash meter that I've installed a PocketWizard wireless module.And unlike the Elinchrom EL-Skyport RX model (which is a custom tailored version that plugs into their own RX lighting setup), The PocketWizard technology exists in various lighting brands including Dyna-Lite, Norman, Profoto and Photogenic.Nikon did once use PocketWizard in their D1X way back in 2002 until they started their own Creative Lighting System (CLS) which does not simply rely on triggering a flash alone, but measures, meters and communicates the information back to the camera. It would be best to know each capability and limitation especially depending on the scale of your project, intent and creativity.The PocketWizard has been around for a longer time and they have rock-solid reliability. It sticks out from the camera hot shoe like a sore thumb and for a good reason that enables great communication with other units over a long distance.Conclusion:You obviously have to evaluate your needs and how you plan to build your system.If you are on a budget and would like equal reliability over shorter and more normal triggering distances, I would suggest Elinchrom EL-Skyport. In fact I would suggest investing on RX models and be able to control Elinchrom's own lights via their downloadable EL-Skyport software.However, if you want to stick with the proven technology and reliability of PocketWizard then building a system around this wireless set up will be an equally good investment down the line especially as they try to expand with other professional brands of photographic devices.The advantages of Elinchrom shine when you are building a system around their own brand. Outside of this, PocketWizard has been the recognized leader...at least for now. | 34 stars

Gives you a booming voice and amps both receive / xmit
There are alot of phone headsets that are amplified on the receiver (EARPIECE) - this one amplifies BOTH the mic and ear on analog phones. It features a 6 position switch to deal with oddball wiring of the microphone, voltage differences on special key phones, but lacks a comprehensive EVERY phone chart unfortunately. Thinking about it, that's realistically impossible as new phones come and go and this product has been here for 20 years.It does run on 2 AA batteries or an optional adatper for wall power (not another one please!) but realistically even though I am on the phone ALOT I am still on my first set of AA batteries. I change the batteries in my remote control more often! The reason for this is that it has an automatic power down mode when not being used (I recently added a phone recorder to my headset and about 5 seconds after the conversation was over, I could hear background noise go away on the recording when the M22 turned itself off. If you record your calls it's great since VOX works better when the M22 powers down.People I talk to say I am LOUD and CLEAR - more so than with the handset that came with the phone. I did try the passive connection that came with my business phone set for a heatset plug in with the plantronics cord first - using that people prefered the handset over the headset because it was louder. Adding the M22 reversed things.For 90+ % of the phones on the market the factory switch settings will work fine. The other 5 are for oddball wiring configurations. I've used 2 of the other 5 possibilities on a wide variety of telephones over two decades (it wasn't always called the M22 back then but the design looks the same so I'm assuming not much changed)Finally, you don't need a headset nor a business phone. Provided your telephone is not a dial in keypad design where the line voltage runs up the wire to the handset, this will work with home phones too. You can adjust your mouthpiece volume and your eapiece volume separately. As a final touch, the adjusting tool is a sliver of plastic to help with those little rotary knobs and is thoughtfully included with the unit on the under side so you don't need to go get a tiny screwdriver.I deducted 1 star because after 2 decades the price should have gone down on this long standing design (It's more than a key phone for my PBX) - but hapily the quality is still there. | 34 stars

Really good cans
I am not an audiophile by any means but I have friends that are. When I asked the headphones I could get for decent quality to match the price no other headphone some out of there mouth.These headphones have some of the best rang in audio I have had in many sub $100 headphones.I use them at work and have only truly used them on my phone (not the best testing subject but it's what I needed them for) and have noticed some leaking after 70% volume and this is pretty loud in my ears at that point. Anything over is unnecessary. Then again I could care less about my surrounding co-workers hearing my music.Great suggestion from a buddy, no plans to return or replace them any time soon. | 45 stars

Transcend memory card: decent quality for low price
This is probably the best product out there if you're just looking for a memory card that'll get the job done without hurting your wallet too much. But if you're looking for the best, I would definitely have to recommend SanDisk's memory cards. I haven't yet had a problem with my Transcend card but based on others' reviews, it seems Transcend is not nearly as durable as SanDisk. | 34 stars

love it you will
I upgraded from a d70 and holy moly ...no comparison. The biggest diffrence is the feel and usability of the camera. The feel is all nikon pro..build fit and finish is amazing and compared to the d70 head and shoulders above. The pictures are great but really it is about getting to the picture that makes the diffrence with this camera. easy access to any commonly changed feature like wb, iso, file size and type, metering, focus point, shooting speed, ect...you will find joy again in shooting with this camera. I can only say if you have ever owed a 6006 or an 8008s and you enjoyed those film cameras...welcome home...finally a digital that feels and shoots like a film ...really its seamless...so far nothing and I mean nothing to complain about...I have the battery grip and use an 800 speedlight and 4/6 Hit. micro drives...beware it need a lot of space if your shooting raw +ps: if your looking beware the people promising to have them in stock and then not delivering...even normally reputable stores. I got mine through best buy...check often and you might get lucky like I did...sucks to pay tax but free shipping and had it in 4 days via regular ups...I was on the Ritz waiting list for 2 months before I gave up on them and found out about the best buy thing from a nikon bulletin board...good luck. | 45 stars

A good tour guide!
I only used it in Seoul a few times, but the information was helpful and accurate. The subway directions were especially useful because the guide included which station exit to walk out of for a particular site. The food & drink section was a life saver because it lists Korean dishes written in English and Hangul. | 34 stars

Replacement for Westell 327w
I bought this to replace a 3 year old defective Westell 327w Verizon provided. This was my second Westell modem and I did not want to pay VZ $89 for a third. After reading reviews about compatibility here and elsewhere I decided to purchase this modem. Before setting it up, I wrote down all my settings from the old Westell with the vision of having a complicated setup -- the setup was easier than I expected from reading the reviews. I plugged the D-Link in, went to the setup page, and the wizard did everything else. I was online within 5 minutes of plugging everything in.No need to release my IP. No need to input any settings. No need to battle through VZ's technical support (not that I would rely on them for any support).Random thoughts after running this modem for a week:This modem gives nice a fair amount of detail in it's logs for those who need it.If you are running a web server, it has either DMZ or port forwarding for your needs.Within the admin page you can disconnect/reconnect your connection with usually helps in solving slow speeds.This modem does get hot, so i wouldn't recommend stacking it on top or under another product. | 45 stars

Does what it is supposed to do
My only complaint is that with this and the other Panasonic one I have, my friends say that they can't hear me well sometimes unless I speak up louder. I have the mic right in front of my mouth, pointing the right way but still I get this problem.Other than that this is a good one and much cheaper than at that well know electronics store nearby. | 34 stars

Only needed the trim.
Installed this in a 350z and only needed the border trim. The center divider was cut off with a pair of pliers. Fitment was great and made my aftermarket Head unit look OEM.My only gripe is: I wish Metra would sell just the border trim for people with double din headunits. This would cut cost for both the manufacture and consumer since it's such a small piece of plastic. (but then again they probably make a decent profit selling the whole kit regardless if you need only 25 percent of it) I am no tree-hugger, but I have to pretty much toss or store everything else included in the kit because I have no use for it. It's kind of a waste.Shipping from this vendor came at the estimated delivery time. | 45 stars

Works for a while and then problems start... not worth it.
First week it worked without any problems. Then it started disconnecting every 30 minutes or so.. and after three weeks it stopped connecting. I read numerous complaints about firmware problems. But it doesn't even allow me to access setup page.Called customer support and spent more than 2 hours, with no result. Will try to return the product or throw it away.Now I am searching for a router that will work.. you also do the same. | 01 star

Does not live up to expectations
I ordered a set of these, because the wireless reception in my home office was poor.We have 15 MBPS down, 2MPBS up, and a wireless router with 10/100 ethernet ports.The best throughput I could get, when each Homeplug was in the same room, was 5 down - that's one third of the possible throughput. Furthermore even though the ethernet connection registered as "100" when the PC was plugged in to the router, when the PC was plugged into the Homeplug which went via the other Homeplug into the same router port, the connection registered as "10" so I don't see how it would be possible to get the maximum 14 MBPS throughput that the specs for this product claim.IOGear were very helpful via e-mail and suggested that I return them for replacement which I did, but the same experiences occurred, so it's looking that they were actually functioning as designed. Yes I know 5 MBPS is better than nothing if your wireless doesn't work, but in the room I needed to use as my office, the best I could get was 500K not 5M and not 14M, and it bothers me that the ethernet card connection registers as 10 rather than 100, even when both homeplugs are in the same room, and even though the specs say that they are 10/100 compatible.Another issue is that the units come with crossover ethernet cables which are just a few feet long, so in many cases you would have to provide your own, longer cable. Note that even though they provide crossover cables, the units actually support regular cables and autosense the type of cable - which makes me wonder why do they specifically provide crossover cables?In the end I returned this product, got a refund and solved the problem a different way, by buying aWireless G Universal Range Extenderwhich works well. | 01 star

The sound it's ok, but very uncomfortable
The product works great. The noise canceling function is wounderful, and the sound is good enough for the price of the headset.But 15 minutes after you start to use that, you can have an ear pain. They are very uncomfortable. However I only feel the pain when I take them out, and realize that my ears are hurting. | 23 stars

Is this ipod really worth it?
I've had this ipod for three weeks and I love it. The itunes program was easy to set up and use. It was easy to transfer songs to the ipod (when you hook up the USB cable the program opens up and transfers all of the songs on the playlists that you've selected). The video quality is amazing. I was blown away at how clear the picture is. Overall, I am very impressed. The downsides are that the battery life is very short when you're watching a video (maybe two hours instead of the claimed 14). It also scrathces very easily. They send you a little pouch with it but I would recommend getting a case for it. Probably the best part about it is that I got it for free. It took me about a month to get but it actually worked. I was blown away. [...] | 45 stars

Works great, adds good low end
This is pretty heavy, but not so large that it's hard to position. I have it next to my computer that I use to listen to Amazon streaming MP3 music. My main speakers are NHT Model Twos, and this subwoofer supplies an excellent bottom end to the music. I haven't played it loud yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it out on a movie soundtrack.The power switch has three positions -- Off, On, and Auto. In the Auto setting, it turns itself on if it senses an incoming signal. When I'm playing music softly, I'm finding that it takes a while to discover that it should turn on. In my case, the subwoofer is sitting next to my desk, and it's not hard to reach the power switch. But keep this in mind if you want to hide it somewhere that would make the power switch hard to reach. (It's near the top of the rear of the cabinet.) There's also a phase switch, with two positions. There's no magic to that; just set it to the position that sounds best. As with all subwoofers, the placement in your room isn't critical, although the subwoofer's sound can be somewhat amplified if you locate it in a corner. | 45 stars

Inspiring
I'm station in Iraq and have entirley way too much time on my hands. I decided I needed a hobby and bought the Canon S1. This camara is everything I expected and more. I bought a 1GB memory card with it (highly recomended) and have taken countless pictures (well over 6,000). The Image Stability works very well and the 10X zoom always comes in handy (and keeps me out of harms way). I have also used it to take video and was amazed by the quality that it gives. I can not belive what an amazing camara this has turned out to be. My only complaints are the Pop Up Flash (it dosnt alwas pop up on its own) and the lens cap dos'nt like to stay on. The batteries go quick but it all depends on your shooting habbits. These are minor complaints and in fact althought I have only owned the camara for maybe 4 months I have already purchased the S2 and am anxiously awaiting its arival. | 34 stars

Cleans VCR heads well
I have owned two great Sony VCRs that both eventually began to eat my VHS tapes. I recently bought a very reasonably priced identical replacement VCR, but this time I knew I had better keep those heads clean if the VCR was going to last longer than a couple of years. So I purchased this Allsop 600000 3-in-1 Video Cleaner. So far I've used it only once, but I am hoping regular usage will prolong the life of this latest VCR replacement purchase. I realize that stand-alone VCRs are a thing of the past, but since I don't own TIVO or any other type of DVR, I am trying to preserve my VCR as long as possible. This Allsop product seems to be very high quality for doing the job. | 34 stars

Great Bag at Sensible Price
I bought this Canon camera bag for a second camera I was buying. I also have a Lowepro that cost nearly three times as much and there is little difference, except the Lowepro is showerproof.Excellent compartment layout and all changeable to suit your needs and products. Not a bad camera bag at all.There is only one downside and that is you are advertising what you have in the bag. It is marked CANON in their logo. You'll need to keep an eye on it in airports etc. | 45 stars

Sony retail packaging
Sold by Amazon, but actually shipped by Adorama Camera... Sony retail packaging, this is slightly longer (2m) than the OEM cable (1.5m?) and is gold tip. The cable is otherwise identical in every other regard. If your looking for a replacement and want a Sony cable this is it, at least for the one I received (Amazon purchase). Beware of other resellers as it may not be an original Sony cable if thats what your specificaly after (recommending checking with sellers if it is Sony retail packaging. | 45 stars

Great dSLR, lots of features
I spent weeks doing research into what "prosumer" dSLR I was going to purchase this year, and this one definately came out on top. It is solidly built, and takes remarkable photos. I bought the body through Amazon, along with a Tamron 17-35mm DI lens, and a 75-200mm DI lens. Even with a 28-80 Pentax lens that was from a film SLR, the photos come out great.Pros:- Incredible image quality, even at ISO's of 800 or more.- Solid body. Feels like it will last longer then the others I looked at such as the N80 and D20.- The shake reduction is an added plus. There is not need to spend extra $$ to get this feature in lenses.Cons:- Selection of lenses is limited. Tamron and Sigma have limited availability of Pentax mounts.- A bit bulkier then expected. None of the photo shops around me had the K10D in stock, but it was described as being about the same size and weight as the K100D's that they had to play with. The K10D is a bit heavier, and the form is a bit different from the predecessor.- I read in another review on a photo site that there is a thud heard when you move the camera side to side while it is off. Mine does the same thing. I now know that it's the orientation sensor. | 45 stars

works as good as the really pricy ones
I bought this for my XBOX and it works awesome. Plug it in and it works! If you have an XBOX with component cables and are wondering if there's a difference between it and HDMI....there's not, but at least this cable is less than $3 and not $100! | 34 stars

Failure to disclose
[[ASIN:B002BXD6FU Typewriter Ribbon Canon AP01 SC70 Compatible]This item, purchased from Amazon could not be shipped to Canada by the vender. This was not disclosed until after the order was placed.

Arrival in the US has been confirmed but I have yet to receive it so can not review.Aside from that, I was oleased to fine a cartridge source for my old Cannon S68-S Typewriter. | 01 star

Simple setup with great sound
We purchased this as an entry-level setup just to be able to enjoy our new HDTV to the max. Until we actually hooked it up, we both thought the TV sounded fine. We will probably upgrade this system in a few years when we eventually get around to a Blu-ray or some other HD player but until then, it is very nice for the money ($137 with shipping from Amazon).Setup was very simple although, since we are newbies at home theater, it sat in the box for a week until we were sure which cables would be the best setup & not do any damage to the other components. A trip to a local electronics store eased our fears. Note that this system only comes with one short coaxial optical cable so we needed to get more cables anyway. I didn't want to have to have the DVD player on in order to hear the TV nor the TV on in order to hear the DVD player if used as a CD player so we have both the audio & the coaxial cables in use & it works well. I don't believe the receiver recognizes true DTS from my DVD player but what it does instead sounds very good. We may adjust our setups in the future but at the moment, all is well.There are several ways to adjust the speakers as well as several presets (music, movie, amp) which we are just discovering. I only gave it 4 stars because there are not a lot of hookups on the back panel for input or output - no HDMI, etc., and that would have made life a little easier. Setup was very easy and we had plenty of wire but our room is not huge. I would absolutely recommend this as an entry-level receiver, esp. in a smaller room. If you are an extreme audiophile or home-theater snob, this may not be for you but if you are just looking to start out with good sound & simple setup, you will be satisfied with this system. | 34 stars

Buyer beware - Lens failed and jammed after 31 pictures
I bought this camera last month and I took it out on a field trip and the lens jammed after taking just 31 pictures. I called Sony and they said that it was a common problem. The camera all had an "access error" displayed on the LCD while it tried to retract the lens. It would repeat over and over and the only course of action was to remove the battery. Rather than deal with another lemon, I asked for a refund from the store I bought it from and traded up to a Canon S70. I should get that camera next week. This camera has been recalled in China. The camera store I bought it from (Digitalfotoclub.com) seemed to know exactly what the issue was as soon as I mentioned the model number. They indicated that 85% of their stock was returned and they have stopped selling this and other Sony models. | 01 star

Good but not the best
I am not a networking pro, but just wanted to use Wireless as I got my office laptop in addition to my personal laptop at home, as I needed an IP splitter anyway. This device, being a combo and at a decent price immeidately caught my attention and I bought it inspite of my friedns' warnings against D-link.The setup of the base unit was easy but as soon as I installed the card, I figured that something went wrong. After a 2 hours discussion with cust-support, I was told that I would have to use Static IP addresses on both PCs to connect to internet, as the DNS server of the Base unit had some issues. That is fine as long as my both pcs are used at home, but I have to change my network setting everytime (to autodetect an IP address) whenever I have to take my PC out or if someone bring another device to my home. I happened to change my service provider and discovered that the TCP/IP setting of my main PC had corrupted and needed reinstallation.Other than that, its been working fine since last 2-3 months. Not a single dropped connection. It works at a consistent high speed. I would say its a good value for money if, unlike me, you know how to use it. | 34 stars

pleasant surprise
I had heard of people having problems with this drive, so I was a little wary when it arrived, but I had no reason to be. It worked in true Plug-and-Play fashion with no problems whatsoever. The slim, lightweight design is perfectly suited to my laptop, it records fast enough that i don't sit there forever tapping my fingers, and does everything I require. Definitely worth the purchase. | 34 stars

S-Video works BOTH directions (play or record)
This cable works fine for my Sony DCR-DVD403 Handycam. I can play and record in S-Video with this cable. The key is to change the setting in the camera so that it uses S-Video instead of the default composite video connection. I found this in my Handycam's user manual.It works exactly as it should. Perhaps this is not the case for all Sony Handycams. | 45 stars
