Question: How good is the pen?

I know most people probably stay away from this stylus because of it's price. Well, let me be the first to tell you that it is without a doubt, worth every penny. For a price of $10~ shipped, you get frustration free packaging, and a Stylus that has a perfect weight, excellent function, and (IMHO) a great look to it. Just the right length as well.I can't say enough positive about it. I've tried it on all of my touchscreen devices, Samsung Epic, Galaxy tab 10.1, Ipod... and I think that's it. But it works great.

Answer: excellent function

Question: What is the lenght of this cable?

I have been using this for the last three months and it is working really well. I had bought 2 cheap ones on ebay and it stopped working in a month. This has worked in my car as well as in laptop and I dont have to worry about adjusting the cable or any of that sort. The cable is quite thick which gives the wear and tear. If someone is looking for a good quality cable at a cheaper price than from Apple store, I would recommend this.

Question: What is the performance of the product?

This drive works great.  It's nice and quiet (not totally silent, but with my case closed I really don't hear it unless I'm actually listening for it.)  The performance is excellent.Perfectly reliable even after many months of use.I got it on sale, so always shop around unless you're having a disk drive emergency.

Question: How much storage does the nook have?

I upgraded from my 8 GB SD to this one and it was great to have the extra space.No problems with it.I removed the SD card from my phone and copied the files up to my computer using the adapter that came with the new card.  I copied the files to my new 32 GB MicroSDHC and installed it in my Galaxy S4 and it worked great.I liked the color. Makes it easier to see on my black desk.

Question: How is the sound?

These speakers are great! they are not the prettiest looking speakers, but the quality of the sound, even at high volumes, is great. The satellites and subwoofer are fairly big, so if you're tight on space try something else.I have this connected to a TV for movie watching and the sound quality is excellent (TV and speakers connected by Monster RCA Cables [not provided with packaging], also purchased from Amazon). The sounds are clear, crisp, and powerful.I also have an AUX out so that i can connect my laptop/ipod/iphone/other MP3 devices and the sound quality is excellent. Being able to control the bass is great so when listening to hip hop or rap you can turn the bass up and really start to rattle things in your home. These speakers are great, and would buy them again given the chance. For the price point this is probably the best 2.1 system money can buy.Some have been complaining about popping noises from their speakers, i personally have not experienced this. These speakers have been very reliable and will play at any volume you choose for hours on end.

Question: How is the base?

Once I adjusted the eq on my media player and installed my favorite eartips from my broken earphones, these are amazing for the price.  The base really thumps which I did not expect and overall the sound is a good balanced neutral and true.  Only issue is the cord.  Wish it was thicker or covered in a cloth casing.  Will be buying another and pit away in case these are discontinued or changed in a bad way.

Question: How is system?

Bought a laptop mainly for school and decided to change the 5400 RPM hard drive to this. Everything went blazing fast after the upgrade. System is VERY responsive, never had any issues of slow downs and lags. Boots up the system in less than 15 seconds from cold shut down, I don't even need to worry about putting my laptop on my bag anymore because it does not have any moving parts inside, I don't have to worry about any damage anymore if things get bumpy or data loss, battery life has also improved quite a bit. Even web browsing went a lot more smoother.

Question: How is laptop?

Let me begin this by saying that I used to be an "early adopter".  I had to have it when it first came out.  I've stopped doing that, but in this case I wish I had bought the first Fire.  From using a friend's I was excited when they finally announced the second gen devices.  The original was simple to use and did most things I wanted it to.  This one is incredibly hard to figure out, even with years of techy experience and is more limited in its use.PROS -Feels solid and well built.Anti-glare screen is nice, and the screen is vibrant.  It's not Retina, but then it didn't cost like one so I'm OK with that.Some have reported it being slow and unresponsive, but I haven't had much of a problem except when in apps I know have problems from them doing the same to my phone.  Videos streamed from Amazon look really good.Book reading is surprisingly good for a backlit screen.  Page turns are quick and although they lack the book like "charm" of the Kindle reader page turns it is an acceptable substitute.Screen brightness is good and you can see the screen pretty well outdoors.  I have turned off automatic screen brightness though.  I find the values it chooses too bright in most cases and have mine set slightly less than 50%.CONS -No AC adapter included.  Would that have really been that much of a stretch to include?No flash support.  UPDATE: Well...no official flash support.  Thanks to the comment from TomT below I was able to install both flash and my preferred browser (Dolphin) in a few minutes.  Google Flash 11.1 apk and follow the xda developer links...will walk you right through it.  Now if I can get Google Voice working so I can use sonar I'll be a happy camper.  Have added a star since it was this easy.  That still doesn't negate the fact that it should have been included in the first place with so many sites still using Flash.The charge and HDMI ports are on the long edge rather than the short as is on my other Kindles (and the original Fire I believe).  When you want to do HDMI out to a TV you can only turn it one way if you want to tilt it up which may, depending on the case you buy,  totally defeat the stand in the case.  In the case of the Marware leather rotating case you can't close the case when charging because the ports are to the inside.Volume and On-Off buttons are flush with the case and almost impossible to find by feel.  Since the only visual cue for which way you are holding it is the camera lens this makes it difficult in a darkened room.No GPS.  This isn't a deal breaker, but would have been nice.  I suppose they thought since it needs wireless people wouldn't use it like that, but I could always turn on my phone's Mobile Hotspot to use Google maps IF I had a GPS.The ads.  I own other Kindles and have never felt the need to turn them off.  They were unobtrusive and didn't really affect my use of the device.  I even went for them occasionally.  The ones on the new Kindle are ridiculous.  Everywhere you turn they are in your face just waiting for an errant touch to purchase something you don't mean to and taking up screen space. People who care for children or the elderly should be extra vigilant for unintended purchases.Lack of many apps in the app store that I use daily on my Android phone and would use on the Kindle if they were there.  It's clear Amazon doesn't want to take any chances that you might stream something online that doesn't belong to them.  No TNT app, no USA app, no CW app.  I assume the others that I don't use like HBO and Showtime aren't there either?  No support for PowerDVD Remote and PowerDVD Mobile which would allow me to stream my own personal videos from my network rather than having to either upload them to the cloud or onto the device.  Can't access my Dropbox either.  I use my phone as a remote constantly when streaming from my HTPC to my TV and I was hoping I could use the Kindle that way too.Apps that work perfectly well on my phone throw error after error on the Kindle's "special" version. Examples: Words with Friends, no paid version and ads lock up the device.  Tweetcaster constantly throws the 350 connections per hour message and I am not a heavy user.  It throws this one when all I do is check it once in a while and have it set on manual refresh.  I ended up in Twitter Jail the first night I had the Kindle and I didn't tweet a single thing!  Never had this happen on my phone.Every app you download results in a "purchase" email from Amazon...even the free ones.  I have an avalanche of them in my inbox just from setting it up.  (Yes, I know this happens for phones as well.  I make the comment to point it out to those that don't know.  Amazon should have a better way worked out to handle this by now and since Kindle is part of their proprietary environment and since Kindle is a part of that this is part of owning one.)The Carousel? I hate it.  Everything goes on it as soon as you load or use it even if you don't want it to.  There may be a way to fine tune this, but if there is I haven't found it yet. I put a few favorite songs on the device for when I'm not near wireless and it showed each individual song on the Carousel. The UI is cluttered and as far as I can see there is no way to alter it to better serve your personal needs.  No way to clear the Carousel either.  You have to remove items one by one.  (If anyone knows how to change this please do let me know.)The main screen is obviously front loaded to get you to buy stuff..with the few things things that get around the spoon feeding of ads and buying stuff all the way to the right like photos and web.UPDATE:  I had not attempted to use the camera.  There is no software included to make use of the camera.  The User guide says you can download Skype and that it MAY work with other apps in the store, but there is no way to use it without downloading something and experimentation to see what apps might work with it.  Why include the camera if they aren't going to give you something to help use it?No alarm clock app included.  Now I know there are apps that will do this, but it's pretty much a basic inclusion on most mobile devices these days.Haven't decided if I will return or wait and hope Amazon offers some software updates that make it more acceptable.  It's a brilliant hardware upgrade hogtied by Amazon's watered-down version of Android and the lack of basic apps like camera/alarm that we have all come to expect.  I haven't tested the HDMI out yet, since my micro-HDMI cable hasn't arrived yet.  Will update this review next week when I get that.

Question: How was the headphone?

These headphones were too big for my head, I have to  tilt them at an odd angle to sit them on my head.  They also pinch my ears after wearing them for more than 2 hours.  That being said, I use them for doing QA in medical transcription, and the sound is superior (at least for the spoken word with background noise) to help me fill in the blanks!  Still on the hunt for the perfect pair.  All things being equal, I prefer earbuds also.  These get too hot for me even in 65-degree weather-although that is not the earphones fault!  I forgot to mention the sound volume is very low, I can turn my computer to the max, plus the software to the max and still have them on my head.

Question: Who is the driver?

///Update: 26Oct2012///After some Googling, I found that it is a common issue with WD that you cannot view two or more HD's plugged in. There are several fixes, but the most common and reliable way is to go to your Computer Management (Windows) and click the unrecognized drive "online". You can then assign it a different Drive Letter which will then allow you to see it every time you plug it in. Without going into too much details, basically WD assigned the same signature to the drives that is why it is showing up as one drive at a time. As a result, I moved the rating up to 5 stars. Enjoy!///Original: 12Oct2012///I love how small it still is (compared to a regular 1TB). When I travel I try to maximize my contents without compromising the weight and space taken. I often have to travel in just a backpack for several days so having the drive is perfect for having my digital movies and tv because it does not require an adapter for power (just USB) and it does not take up so much room. Because of the amount of files I own, I ended up buying 3 of these (only needed 2, but didn't realize I previously bought one already).I do however have some issues with it. Unfortunately, laptops cannot recognize two of the same type of drive. So if you were to transfer files from one drive to the next, you much use a median to temporarily store your data first (ie. laptop itself or a non-WD 2TB Passport Drive).Other than that, I am quite satisfied. Data transfer with USB 3.0 is noticeably superior to USB 2.0. In comparison to cheaper drives with USB 3.0 (not to cause blame on other drives), this performed data transfer faster and more consistently. I have used mine for some time now and through my travels overseas and it is still going strong even with the climate changes (extreme hot in the desert and snowing winter).Bottom line, a must have item for large media files during any time of travels due to its capacity, portability, and size. Just don't expect to be able to plug two at one time to your laptop and see both of them.

Question: How are both sides with respect to the angle?

When the Asus PA248Q 24 inch LED IPS monitor arrived overnight on my doorstep (You have to love Amazon Prime) I recieved a much better monitor than expected.  The monitor is packaged very well and arrived as expected.  There are good reviews on it.  Let me add a few things that I never saw listed.This is my fifth IPS monitor purchased in the last eight years.  I don't waste my time on TN glass.  Several things led me to the purchase of the Asus monitor: Overall good reviews, no coating smudges and the color gamut, and the USB 3.0 ports.  I considered the PA246Q monitor for a few more dollars but chose this one for the USB ports.It worked perfectly out of the box and the first noticable difference was the color.  It is incredible and it puts the colors on my old Gateway FPD2485W monitor to shame.  They run next to each other, the Gateway turned up for vertical use.  The Asus also runs much cooler - warm to the touch and nothing close to the Gateway furnace.  I suspect that it the LED that makes the difference.It had some unexpected surprises.  First, the bezel surrounding the screen is smaller.  The stand is well built and very sturdy. The monitor cannot wiggle around.  You can read about the ports.  And it has the picture-in-picture feature of the Asus 246Q monitor; somethingthat is not listed in Amazon's description of the product.  Better yet, I plugged in my USB 3.0 portable hard drive; it powered up easily and my computer quickly recognized it.  I used it all day with no problems.  I had not expected that.Setup is easy.  The colors are accurate.  I love the 5-way rocker switch.  I love the different adjustments it allows.  I suppose if there is a downside it would be that it is extremely bright even at the lowest settings.  But my aging eyes see it well and I am getting used to it.  White leans toward the blue part of the spectrum (LED again) but changing colors does not affect the white color or the black.  A black background on your screen seems "shiny" and deep compared to flatter monitors but it is easily covered with a dark grey or light black background.  The colors are so fantastic one might as well use photos instead.At 6ms refresh, there is no noticable ghosting in games.  That is pretty quick for an IPS monitor.  And again the colors make the game so much more immersive.Considering the fact that I spent over $600 on my last IPS monitor, I am going to buy another one and run them side by side.  My only disappointment was that Amazon lowered the price by $45 the day after it arrived.  Talk about bad luck.  Still, it is a great deal.  My advise:  Buy it.My last comment:  There were NO BAD PIXELS!

Question: What is the quality of the speaker?

I love the companion 5 speakers after hearing those speakers the companion 2 will sound like a total disappointment. on the other had these speakers are perfect for those who love extra bass. I think for such small speakers they produce way too much bass.

Question: How was the camera?

I have had this camera for over a year.  I upgraded from an SD400, SD500 to the SD1000.  The camera takes excellent pictures and is pretty rugged.  I take it both hiking and scuba diving (have the case).  It is easy to use.  Like all items, I recommend reading the manual.  Yes, I said read the book!  The camera is lightweight and requires a steady hand.  The biggest mistake I made with the camera is snapping the picture and moving the camera right after it.  Give it a second to record the image.  It is pretty fast, but if you are use to a film camera, you will end up blurring some of the pictures.  I plan to get another one just to have as a spare.  It's that good.

Question: What about sound?

I wasn't expecting much out of these because of mixed reviews.  I am not into new and technical stuff.  But I have a tv/dvd player that really needs help when it comes to the speakers.  I can hear fine, but spouse is losing some hearing.  Anyway I got this mainly for the portable tv/dvd player that I really like (RCA)- for the travel trailer.  So that's what I tried it with first.  COMPLETE AND AWESOME change to the sound.  Tried it on my ipod next.  AWESOME.  The sound is so much better and richer on both devices.  Tried it on a portable radio, OOPS, all static. with it plugged in , without- radio is fine...not designed for that older type radio I guess.I can't speak to the durability because I haven't had it long.  After I used it, I packaged it back up what it came in, instead of just the little carrying bag that comes with it.  The whole package is small, and adds extra protection.  But for us, it won't be used daily, etc.I think it's well worth the money I spent.

Question: How is the battery life?

Purchased it as a gift for my husband for his graduation from college (he did it while working 60 hours and being a fulltime student - not easy!)  He loved it, we do play games on it with each other such as board games!  He likes to read his books on it as well!  Battery life is impressive but drains faster on some games though!

Question: How are the bass?

Really impressed. Even for the price i paid these are LOUD with great quality sound. The bass is great, i love the little control unit as well.The one drawback i'd include with this is the speakers are a bit too sensitive to whatever direction theyre facing. That is to say, if the speakers aren't directly facing you, they suffer a great deal of clarity unless you jack the volume much louder than necessary.

Question: How was the size?

This thing ROCKS for the home theater PC ( HTPC )! It's the perfect size. We also have the logitech google tv box, which comes with a similar "remote", but that one is smaller.This one feels easier to use than the smaller sized wireless kybd/mice things I've gotten.

Question: How helpfull could be this unit?

Like others have noted, the thing is perfect for the first few months and then the foam bottom gets less "sticky" over time. I don't use any armor all or anything but windex on the dash. The foam just loses its ability to grip. What helps is scratching the foam up to restore the grip. But...you can only do that so often before you are left with no more foam.

Question: How is the device?

This is mainly a review for previous fourth generation usersApple iPod touch 32 GB White (4th Generation) CURRENT MODELupgrading to the Fifth Generation iPod touchApple iPod touch 32GB White (5th Generation) NEWEST MODEL.Background: I bought my first iOS device in December 2011 (4th Gen. 32GB iPod touch - White). It was everything I wanted and needed. Anyways, I had watched the keynote in September 2012, thinking "No matter what, I'm keeping my old iPod touch". By the end of the presentation, I was drooling over the new one. So, I sold my 4th gen. and bought this one in December 2012. Best choice ever.Upgrades over Fourth Generation:Build: It is so sleek compared to the 4th gen. I love the feel, and the "squarer" sides make it easier to hold and press the volume and power buttons. It is slightly harder to rest in my hand (my pinky acts as the support), but I attribute that to not having a case. It will wobble the tiniest bit, but having the loop button pushed out when flat helps to stabilize it. Also, the loop strap gives me more control when using one hand (and that is still easy, if not better with my longer fingers).-----------------------------------Screen: The screen size on the 5th gen. is a huge difference from previous generations. A family member still has the 4th, and it amazes me how stocky it looks now. The new length is great, as I do not have to scroll as often, and I can see more of the screen when I am using both hands (and I have small hands). It is definitely more responsive, and no glitches like a previous reviewer stated. The home button is more responsive as well, so I have to learn not to press it so much. The colors are more true to life now, and the screen is not blue or yellow tinted, just normal. The black bars for non-iPod touch 5 (worded as iPhone 5 in the App Store) optimized apps remind me just how small the previous screen was. Most well-known apps are optimized.-----------------------------------Sound: The speaker is slightly louder than the 4th gen. I can officially retire my cereal bowls. However, I have found that having the speaker on the right is a bit of a disadvantage, because I tend to cover it in landscape (right-handed). No biggie. The new EarPods are amazing. They fit much better in my ears, so I can sleep without taking them out. The bass is greatly improved. I never knewRock With You (Single Version)had background bass!-----------------------------------Durability: The anodized aluminum is sturdier than the previous metal back of the 4th gen. The top corner of my iPod just "slapped" the side of a tile counter today, and I was very pleased to not find one nick, scratch, or dent. I have yet to see any scratches (I have the White/Silver), and the back is finger-print resistant for the most part. I managed to get some sticky candy cane residue on the screen and sides last week, but I was able to wipe it off with a cloth. Oh, and the loop is sturdy. I have not yet bought a case because of this, as it is super easy to slip on, and it actually helps me steady the iPod in my hand. I'll probably buy some more loops instead of a case. I hated ruining my 4th gen.'s look with a case, even if it was clear. The iPod can hang by the loop and not fall off, which is good in case I lose my grip. The loop is hard to pull off without loosening it (unlike a Wii Remote strap), and has soft fabric where it meets your arm, so I can tighten it without a loss of circulation.-----------------------------------Speed: So, I had to do a few speed tests with a spare 4th generation. The 5th gen. boots in about ten seconds from reset, the 4th gen. takes 20-30 seconds. I opened the App Store in 6 seconds on the 5th gen., while the 4th gen. took 9 seconds. The Camera app launched in 2 and 3 seconds, so hardly any difference there. Overall, the 5th gen. decreases wait time. I don't find myself tapping my fingers like I'm using a Windows PC. It's a click, then a 5 second wait for games, and a 1 second wait for other apps. Safari is also faster, and connects quickly. I find myself with hardly any startup time, which my 4th gen. could take 5-10 seconds. By the way, my iPod touch has YET to crash at all, not even on Safari (which was a leading crasher on my 4th gen.). Graphic-intensive games no longer freeze, and my iPod only warms slightly (the 4th gen. felt like fire).-----------------------------------Camera: This will be short. It's better, period. You get LED flash (Which is an outstanding flashlight with iHandy's app), HDR for enhancement, and less noise. The 4th gen. catches NOTHING at night, while I was able to take a VERY CLEAR semi-family photo with flash in a pitch black room. The video is smoother, and clearer, and the LED flashlight can be used in conjunction with the video camera. Great for nighttime missions.-----------------------------------Battery life: Please do not pay attention to the lemon reviews. I have great battery life. With no WiFi, I was able to get a whopping ten hours of video, photos, games, and etc. Now, my 4th gen. would have died three times over. The calibration of the battery stays accurate. My 4th gen. showed 40-50% after thirty minutes of gaming. The 5th gen. still showed 65-75%. Awesome in my book, as I like to game without being plugged up. These numbers are with Wifi connected. On weekdays, I get a full day (9 a.m.-10 p.m. | Safari, Stock apps, Plaintext) without needing to charge. Weekends are about five hours (Gaming, communication, videos).-----------------------------------Siri and Dictation: Once she learns your voice, Siri can take you far. She didn't really have problems with my accent (I have a moderate Southern accent, and people said Siri couldn't understand them), so the user feedback must be working. She did have problems with drop (thinking it was job), and check (thinking it was Chad), but those are probably the fault of my own tongue. Dictation actually seems to work better than Siri, and it is better than writing long texts (I'm very thorough). I also enjoy the decrease of "manual labor". Reminders, FaceTime calls, Messages, Searches, even opening apps are handled through Siri. I never thought the days of a handheld robot would come. ;)-----------------------------------Overall: This was a must-do upgrade for me. I was cross that my 4th gen. was already a year old, and after seeing iOS 6 on it, I knew it would have a slim chance of making it to iOS 7. So, I decided to get onto the 5th's cycle. That was the best choice for me. I was very glad to see so many improvements, and each one is worth it. If you have a lemon, please return and exchange it. Don't give up on this great device.=========================================================================================================Six Month Update (June 24th, 2013):-----------------------------------Speed: My fifth generation is still running as fast as ever, and does not show any signs of slowing down. There is hardly any boot time for apps, and even graphic-heavy apps play smoothly.Screen: The four-inch screen is just so much better for my fingers. I never accidentally press the top of the iPod when I wanted to touch the back button on apps. The screen is nice and bright, and I love the true-to-life colors. I only use a dry fabric (microfiber cloth, shirt, pillow, recliner arm) to wipe the screen. Never use water, or you'll rub off the oleophobic coating and the oils from your skin, which makes the screen easier to swipe and scroll. Also, the screen is very durable, so I can use my nails (they are very firm) to scrap off sticky whatnot, and not worry about leaving a scratch.Siri: After a few months hiatus, I decided to use Siri again. After taking off some contacts' information, I feel safe enough to use the service, and it works splendidly. I'm glad that I don't need to give her my info just to use it, as that's not my preference. I use her to text others when I'm busy and don't want to stop. Timers and reminders are good to use with her, because I have a million of them. Those are such a *pain* to make. . .Sturdiness: Keeping with the s-themed update, I have to talk about this iPod's sturdiness. Just good craftsmanship on Apple's part, seriously. In six months, I only have a side dent and a nick. The back is still nice and smooth, and I would rest it on any surface without a second thought. The loop is history (RIP), and this device is slippery without it. I bought a Belkin case a few months ago, and there has been no more damage to my device, so I'm happy all around.

Answer: iOS

This is mainly a review for previous fourth generation usersApple iPod touch 32 GB White (4th Generation) CURRENT MODELupgrading to the Fifth Generation iPod touchApple iPod touch 32GB White (5th Generation) NEWEST <hl> MODEL.Background: I bought my first iOS device in December 2011 (4th Gen. 32GB iPod touch - White). <hl> It was everything I wanted and needed. Anyways, I had watched the keynote in September 2012, thinking "No matter what, I'm keeping my old iPod touch". By the end of the presentation, I was drooling over the new one. So, I sold my 4th gen. and bought this one in December 2012. Best choice ever. Upgrades over Fourth Generation:Build: It is so sleek compared to the 4th gen. I love the feel, and the "squarer" sides make it easier to hold and press the volume and power buttons. It is slightly harder to rest in my hand (my pinky acts as the support), but I attribute that to not having a case. It will wobble the tiniest bit, but having the loop button pushed out when flat helps to stabilize it. Also, the loop strap gives me more control when using one hand (and that is still easy, if not better with my longer fingers).-----------------------------------Screen: The screen size on the 5th gen. is a huge difference from previous generations. A family member still has the 4th, and it amazes me how stocky it looks now. The new length is great, as I do not have to scroll as often, and I can see more of the screen when I am using both hands (and I have small hands). It is definitely more responsive, and no glitches like a previous reviewer stated. The home button is more responsive as well, so I have to learn not to press it so much. The colors are more true to life now, and the screen is not blue or yellow tinted, just normal. The black bars for non-iPod touch 5 (worded as iPhone 5 in the App Store) optimized apps remind me just how small the previous screen was. Most well-known apps are optimized.-----------------------------------Sound: The speaker is slightly louder than the 4th gen. I can officially retire my cereal bowls. However, I have found that having the speaker on the right is a bit of a disadvantage, because I tend to cover it in landscape (right-handed). No biggie. The new EarPods are amazing. They fit much better in my ears, so I can sleep without taking them out. The bass is greatly improved. I never knewRock With You (Single Version)had background bass!-----------------------------------Durability: The anodized aluminum is sturdier than the previous metal back of the 4th gen. The top corner of my iPod just "slapped" the side of a tile counter today, and I was very pleased to not find one nick, scratch, or dent. I have yet to see any scratches (I have the White/Silver), and the back is finger-print resistant for the most part. I managed to get some sticky candy cane residue on the screen and sides last week, but I was able to wipe it off with a cloth. Oh, and the loop is sturdy. I have not yet bought a case because of this, as it is super easy to slip on, and it actually helps me steady the iPod in my hand. I'll probably buy some more loops instead of a case. I hated ruining my 4th gen.'s look with a case, even if it was clear. The iPod can hang by the loop and not fall off, which is good in case I lose my grip. The loop is hard to pull off without loosening it (unlike a Wii Remote strap), and has soft fabric where it meets your arm, so I can tighten it without a loss of circulation.-----------------------------------Speed: So, I had to do a few speed tests with a spare 4th generation. The 5th gen. boots in about ten seconds from reset, the 4th gen. takes 20-30 seconds. I opened the App Store in 6 seconds on the 5th gen., while the 4th gen. took 9 seconds. The Camera app launched in 2 and 3 seconds, so hardly any difference there. Overall, the 5th gen. decreases wait time. I don't find myself tapping my fingers like I'm using a Windows PC. It's a click, then a 5 second wait for games, and a 1 second wait for other apps. Safari is also faster, and connects quickly. I find myself with hardly any startup time, which my 4th gen. could take 5-10 seconds. By the way, my iPod touch has YET to crash at all, not even on Safari (which was a leading crasher on my 4th gen.). Graphic-intensive games no longer freeze, and my iPod only warms slightly (the 4th gen. felt like fire).-----------------------------------Camera: This will be short. It's better, period. You get LED flash (Which is an outstanding flashlight with iHandy's app), HDR for enhancement, and less noise. The 4th gen. catches NOTHING at night, while I was able to take a VERY CLEAR semi-family photo with flash in a pitch black room. The video is smoother, and clearer, and the LED flashlight can be used in conjunction with the video camera. Great for nighttime missions.-----------------------------------Battery life: Please do not pay attention to the lemon reviews. I have great battery life. With no WiFi, I was able to get a whopping ten hours of video, photos, games, and etc. Now, my 4th gen. would have died three times over. The calibration of the battery stays accurate. My 4th gen. showed 40-50% after thirty minutes of gaming. The 5th gen. still showed 65-75%. Awesome in my book, as I like to game without being plugged up. These numbers are with Wifi connected. On weekdays, I get a full day (9 a.m.-10 p.m. | Safari, Stock apps, Plaintext) without needing to charge. Weekends are about five hours (Gaming, communication, videos).-----------------------------------Siri and Dictation: Once she learns your voice, Siri can take you far. She didn't really have problems with my accent (I have a moderate Southern accent, and people said Siri couldn't understand them), so the user feedback must be working. She did have problems with drop (thinking it was job), and check (thinking it was Chad), but those are probably the fault of my own tongue. Dictation actually seems to work better than Siri, and it is better than writing long texts (I'm very thorough). I also enjoy the decrease of "manual labor". Reminders, FaceTime calls, Messages, Searches, even opening apps are handled through Siri. I never thought the days of a handheld robot would come. ;)-----------------------------------Overall: This was a must-do upgrade for me.

Question: How is the quality of review?

My previous router would continuously drop and have to be rebooted, so after reading all the reviews decided to purchase this Medialink.  Although, I was not familiar with the brand the price was very good, and the reviews were generally very positive which is hard to find especially about routers. Well, the router is great, works as described, fast, good range, easy set up, strong internet single, does not drop or need to  be rebooted... so glad I upgraded, this perfect product even if the blue lights are a tad bright. I can finally enjoy my internet access without frustration. I love this router!

Question: How is the unit?

I buy refurb items when ever I can.  The reasoning is:1-The price is less2-Each refurb item has been tested and certified to work.3-Refurb items have the same accessories as "new" itemsApparently with this keyboard from TRG, items 2 and 3 are not the case.  I received the keyboard in the expected time frame and the unit looked new.  Missing was the extender, batteries and documentation.  No real issue, however my problem is that this keyboard clearly was not tested.I saw a reference to having to hit the keys squarely in the middle for them to work, I saw another where the "c" key didn't work.  On my "refurb" from TRG the :c, 5,0,h,b and n keys didn't work no matter where you stroke them.  Clearly this keyboard is defective.I like the keyboard so I am going to buy a new one.  I will upgrade or downgrade this review based on my next one.
