Excellent product! I don't know how I found my way before I bought it...good price and nice features. | 34 stars

Nice IPod, but not what I paid for.
I got my used IPod in great condition. There was only one small scratch on the screen, but nothing that looks too bad. Great IPod.However the reason I gave it 1 STAR, is because this says it's a 5.5 gen. The one I have is a 5th gen.. Since it has no search feature and only lasts 3 hours when playing video.Also, the battery display is a bit wonky. The battery lasts as long as it's supposed to, but when I flip through the songs the battery display goes up and down constantly.Anyways, I got a nice working product but I wont be buying from this person again for giving me the wrong product. | 01 star

Echo-y and uncomfortable
I'm wearing them right now, trying to listen to them and talk myself into believing that I didn't just get robbed. Midrange is poor. Sounds like I'm listening to a boom box in a pulic restroom. And for all those that say they are huge, well, I must have giant ears because I can hardly cram my hearing appengages into the plastic cups, round like a circle.I work in a cubicle and wear headphones 8-9 hours every single day. The padded headband seems comfortable enough, and by sliding out the adjustable arms on the cups makes them comfortable enough.But given the sound, if what you really want ot hear is good sound, these are not the ones to get. Maybe an EQ could add what's missing, but why would you buy a product that requires compensation just to make acceptable? | 12 stars

Lots of space

Decent camcorder
Shoots good videos, but the 5 MP still photos leave much to be desired. Confirms the addage that cannot have one product do it all. Have been using this for about 3 years and overall satisfied. | 34 stars

Radio VCR
This little unit is perfect to record shows like JIM ROME, Phil Hendrie, Dr. Laura, Rush Limbaugh "Insert Radio Host here" or the ball game that won't be on TV and on during your work hours....Pogo also has a great Tech Support staff that quickly helps you in case of any problems and they respond to all emails lightning quick.All and all you should get it if a Radio VCR is something you been wanting for years. | 45 stars

Great HD signal
Great HD signal without spending a small fortune. I was a little worried about the low price, but after pricing "quality" cables elsewhere, I don't see how a higher priced cable would be any better. I would recommend this product to anyone. | 45 stars

Love it!
I have a Canon EOS 30D that I've owned for about 2 years. I've been wanting a macro lens for a while, but have had a hard time justifying the cost... especially since I originally had my eye on Canon's 100mm macro. Then someone suggested this Sigma lens to me, and I noticed that all the reviews were incredible. I was nervous about going with a 3rd party lens, but the price was right and the reviews gave me confidence. And also, I preferred the 50mm focal point vs Canon's 100mm (makes it a more versatile lens, in my opinion).So then this christmas my dad gave me money to buy the lens, and I've only had it a few days now but I am already in love! This lens is wonderful-- the look and feel are good, and it takes GORGEOUS photos both close-up and otherwise. I've simply been using manual focus for close-up shots, but I've been very surprised at how fast the AF is (with the limitor switch on). It really is almost instantaneous, which is awesome. I think even faster than my other lenses (Canon 50mm f/1,8, Canon 17-85mm).I borrowed my friend's 100mm macro lens last year, and honestly I don't see a significant quality difference between the two (though I am also not a pro, so may not have a critical enough eye for that sort of thing). Basically, I am VERY happy with this lens, right out of the box. The photos are gorgeous, razor sharp at the focus points, beautiful bokeh elsewhere, colors are very pretty, etc etc etc. This is a great alternative to more expensive macros. I actually wonder if this will replace my "nifty fifty" as my favorite lens... we'll see. ; ) | 45 stars

Serious concerns about Samsung Customer Service
This TV is only about eighteen months old and the picture shuts off after about five seconds. Everything else is functioning normally.It has been lightly used, since I used to be away most weekdays on business.After researching the problem briefly on the internet, it appears this problem is fairly prevalent. That concerns me.The Samsung CSR was unable to identify the problem. That concerns me.I was referred to their nearest authorized repair service---sixty miles away. I live in the New York metropolitan area, with something like 18 million people. That concerns me.All of the reports I've read are still ignorant as to what the problem is, are still waiting for assistance, and/or have had a recurrence of ths issue (this last indicates that the wrong repair was made or that the part being used is inappropriately designed for its intended use). That concerns me.If this is a pervasive problem, and Samsung is unable to readily identify it for their customers, then I have serious concerns about purchasing their products in the future. | 01 star

Great deal for great skins
I bought one of these skins (I'm not sure of the brand) at a retail store for $10 so four for less than $10 is definitely a good deal. The skins are great, they add a little weight and the added thickness makes the controller feel a lot better in your hands. The texture is nice and keeps the controller from slipping (which can really become a problem when you're putting hours at a time into Warhawk or GTAIV). There is only a little bit of trouble getting the skin stretched over the controller but it's really not even worth mentioning.Even if you only have 2 controllers, this is probably the best deal you'll find on controller skins. I highly suggest getting them as soon as you get the system. | 45 stars

Worst customer service ever!
I bought this tv from another retailer in Feb of 2006. In October 2006 the remote died. Being still under a year I contacted the company. I expected the same response I get from other companies when there's a problem."We are so sorry, we'll get you a new remote right away." WRONG!!!These jokers kept me hanging on for 6 months. Every time I called it was another song and dance. Absolutely the worst customer service ever. I own a business and will make it sure that every customer I have will never buy from this company. You may have better luck buying through Amazon. They seem to want good customer relations. Avoid contacting seller directly. They are useless. | 01 star

Sony Radio
My old radio finally gave up the ghost after about 20 years. Like to listen to the Giants and 49er games when outside doing yardwork, so needed a replacement. Trusted the Sony brand and have not been disappointed. The only thing I would have liked would have been to put the on/off/volume control wheel on the right-hand side since I'm right handed (duh!) and rarely if ever change the station. Other than that, the price was right and it arrived promptly. It is smaller than my old radio, but this is a plus! Recommend to anyone needing a high-quality portable am/fm radio. | 34 stars

Sharp, Crisp and Vibrant Pictures

Great Product!
I just got my unit today and it works even better than I expected. The sound quality is phenomenal. The menu and controls are intuitive and buttons are large enough to see and operate. The display is well lit and easy to read. What a nicely designed product. | 45 stars

Shipped fast
Bought to plug into my guitar amp so i could use regular 3.5 mm headphones. Arrived fast, protected and efficiently. | 45 stars

Great
I've had these for a year now, and the sound quality is still great. I'm no audiophile, but I can say that the bass is strong (possibly stronger than that on the HD 280's, but maybe they're just not burned in completely yet). Nevertheless, I remember when I first got these that I was completely shocked by the sound quality. I had never heard anything better! (Back then when I listened to music, it was mostly through my computer speakers). Of course, you shouldn't compare these with a higher end model of headphones - these are like the entry level.Some have said that these headphones didn't last them more than 6 months. I haven't had any problems with mine, though the ear caps have come off a few times because of a stuffed backpack. When they come off, you can just slide them right back in, and everything's good. They just become slightly loose.The cord is also pretty long, but it comes with a thing that you can wrap the cord around. So far, everything seems pretty good but a few things:-The headphones are a little tight and will probably make you feel hot within an hour. They can hurt if you're wearing them for an hour, but then after the second hour, you probably won't notice it until you take them off.-It's all plastic, and the cushiony part feels a bit cheap.Still, they're great headphones to keep at one place, and the price doesn't hurt at all. | 45 stars

Easy to set up and use
This fax is easy to set up and use. We like that it scans fax in immediately and quickly and then sends it. We do not use the print function except for the reports about faxing. We are very pleased with this product and would recommend it for an office that faxes a few pages regularly multiple times a day. | 45 stars

Present for the Hubby
As the title states, I bought this for my husband. He totally loves it, and it's really cool! The planets rotate, it's really neat. Also, I had bought my husband a previous "floating" planets display and those planets fit this model. Works great and is a great gift for those who love unique gifts. | 45 stars

Great but very little drawbacks
I got this little baby 6 weeks ago and it works very well. The minor flaws is the headphones that comes with the mp3 player they hurt your ears after listening with them for a while, the light makes noises that interferes with the sound of the music, the mp3 player automacitcall put the songs in alphabetical order and i couldnt put the list in the order that i wanted to listen to it, and the 256 mb it tought at first would be enough but right now i have to delete stuff in order to fit my favorites on the player. One minor good but bad thing is that the mp3 player plays in sorround sound. It wont't let me let other people share the headphones with me so we both can listen to a good song.Some of the good qualities is the excellent sound that this thing has i can put the thingup to full volume and put it out and ic an still hear the music. The thing is so small when i first bought i thought it was a little bigger tan i had imagined. This little baby is great for working out listening on a ride and et cetra. | 34 stars

Almost there
I bought this remote despite what I had read concerning setup, etc... Most of my components are Sony so I assumed that it would be a slam dunk as far as programming. The remote is supposed to be pre-programmed for all Sony products. It did not however control my Sony receiver (985). It was easy to have the 3100 learn the commands if you have your original remote.I was disappointed that I had to program it for my PVR. You would think in this day and age the codes would be out there.I did eventually get the remote to control all of my components, but ran out of patience trying to get the system control macros to control the misc functions.I recently purchased the Logitech 659. It really is a much easier product to program and adjust. I would take a look at it before purchasing the Sony. | 23 stars

A good mouse at a good price
I like Apple computers, but I don't like their mice so much. If you are uncomfortable about using a non-Apple mouse with an Apple computer, I can assure you that you don't need to worry. This mouse works fine with my iMac. The color matches nicely with the white iMac, the mouse feels comfortable, and it works great with the Apple software. I thought the mouse was a good buy at Amazon's price. | 45 stars

This orginizer is too cool!
I have wanted an electronic orginiser for as long as I can remember. When I pulled my Palm out from under the christmas tree, it exceded my imagination to how cool it might be. With features like notepad, to jot down notes, (like where your car is in the one hundred acre parking lot!) and date book to record exat times of any events down to the five minute margine it is the best orginizer I have ever seen.I use it all the time, and I never worry that anyone elst might read what I hav ewritten, since the security system allows the locking of private files, or the whole Palm!Weather you are an extremely unorginixed person, like myself, or plan your every day down to the minute, you'lllove the Palm m100 handheld! | 45 stars

Expensive mistake to purchase Toshiba e335
The Toshiba e335 was my first experience with a PDA/Pocket PC and it has not been a good one. X-ing out of programs takes the programs off the screen but they still run in the background. You have to go to system settings to turn off programs running in background. Lighting throughout screen display was uneven (lighter at bottom than on top). Record button was to easily engaged by accident. Sound quality of built in speaker is awful. Battery longevity is poor even without regular use. I could not get media player to work properly. Since the screen does not have a fold-down protector it can be easily damaged. The provided case affords no protection for the unit. Finally, after only 3 weeks of use, the screen went totally white. Syncing showed that all programs were still there but desktop vanished (screen went white). After telling Toshiba I wanted a new replacement since the unit was only 3 weeks old, they refused and said that the screen was not covered under their "limited warranty". I will have to pay to have the unit repaired after using it 7 or 8 times over 3 weeks. ... Buyers beware of purchasing this troublesome product. | 12 stars

Not reliable at all
I bought it as part of our business network solution, and this is the only part that fails every day or two.Every now and then the router freezes up and resetting itself, resulting loss of company website, remote access, email, etc, and takes about 10 minutes to come back to itself. Then I have to manually input the settings from our Windows SBS, provided that I realized the router has been reset. Otherwise it will go on unchecked like loss of emails for a week as the reset doesn't impact outbound traffic so it is hard to detect.Seems that it is a factory defect after contacting Netgear as the serial number even won't register with their own system. The standard exchange is also not satisfactory. I need to be responsible for shipping defective product back at my own cost and then they will send a new one later. How is possible for me to return the unit and loss our internet for days even weeks? Yes they do offer shipping in first and return later option, but at additional cost.I should have stick to Cisco products like I use at home, and never gave Netgear a try. | 01 star

Great Camera -- Better than my Exilim EX-Z750
When my Exilim EX-750 fell in the cooler, it was over. I loved that camera, but couldn't bring myself to get a refurbished one for almost the price of what I paid 15 months prior. So, I "upgraded" to the Exilim EX-Z1050. It's even easier to user than the Z-750. Changing the most used settings is very quick. The LCD is bright outdoors, so even though there is no tiny viewfinder it's not a problem. I highly recommend this camera. | 45 stars

Good utility lens
I've had this lens for about a year now and really like it a lot. I use it on my FM3a manual body, so the autofocus is not available to me. However, the range of focal lengths and the quality of the build are precisely what I need when I want to travel light.The benefits of this lens are obvious. The focal lengths range from 28mm at the wide end to 105mm at the long end. The build quality is excellent and yet the lens is not perceptably heavy. In daylight, the lens performs remarkably.However, the lens also has its downsides. The first and most obvious is that the lens is very slow. F3.5 is hideously slow in anything but the best lit scenes. Then on the long end the lens only manages a measly F5.6.Another problem is that the lens flares terribly in bright sunlight. Many of my pictures have flaring if the sun is in the frame or slightly out of it. Bright objects in the frame will also cause it to flare.Focus is also a problem on manual focus bodies. The focus throw is very short and loose (good for autofocus bodies, though) so getting precise focus is a challenge. Even in focus, the lens is very soft. There is also some light fall off in the corners when fully zoomed and some minor barrel distortion when wide.But despite those drawbacks, this lens serves me well. To replace this lens with anything else would require either a 3 lens set of 28, 50, and 105 prime lenses or a couple zooms which would end up costing more and be a constant weight while traveling.The range of focal lengths is what sets this lens apart from the rest of Nikon's zooms. While other lenses may be faster, sharper, and better built, this one can do the work of any other combination of lenses between 28mm and 105mm passably and at a reasonable price.3 stars for this great lens value. It won't be the best lens you own, but if you're lazy like I am it may end up being the lens you use the most. | 23 stars

You'll Love It
I purchased this camera for my daughter for XMAS. Looking forward to getting tons of photos, videos of our new granddaughter. I've been using the PowerShot S300 that I purchased from Amazon a couple of years ago and I love it.One great feature is the power pak. You do not have to mess with rechargable "AA" batteries. Just place the battery in the charge plug it in a receptable and you are back in business in a couple of hours...Not to mention you can take about 256 pictures without charging again. | 45 stars

Best iPad/iPhone stylus out there
I bought three different iPad styli a few weeks ago, because I didn't know which would be the best, and I didn't want to wait around to figure it out by buying the wrong one over and over, and I can state unequivocally that this is hands down the best iPad stylus on the market today.It feels good in your hand, and feels great on your iPad screen... the others that I tested felt cheap, but not this BoxWave stylus.Well worth the money if you think you'll be taking lots of notes on your iPad.Goes great with Penultimate (my app of choice for handwritten note taking). | 45 stars

Questionable Regional free DVD player
This Dvd player does not play other regional DVD's, cause this player can only play only those where this player is sold from. and the this player does not allow regional code changes.For example.. I bought a DVD movie from Amazon UK (which is regional-2) I'm unable to view it here in the States. Was told by Philips - Since the DVD player was sold in the States. It can only play Regional-1 DVD's make sure you read the fine print, before ordering this player. | 01 star

Has been great!
So far this dvd recorder has been great. We have purchased two of these. One from Amazon and one from Gateway. The one we purchased from Amazon does have the feature to turn off the macrovision and you can legally make back up copies of all the copyrighted dvds & vhs tapes that you own. The same unit we bought from Gateway.com for $100 less does not have the macrovision on/off feature but it did have the region free option. To see if your unit has the "Macrovision On/Off" feature on your remote press "Setup" then highlight "exit", while "exit" is highlighted enter "2960" and press enter. Another menu should open with the option to select your region code or make it region free and another option to turn macrovision on or off. | 45 stars

domke photogs vest
I bought this vest for my husband after others failed his needs. The size was perfect! He got more pockets than expected and is "hands-free" now to Shoot instantly when a great shot appears. The comfort and thoughtful design far excede other styles out there!It is really neat that he can load up the vest the night before and be out at first light, fully equipped, and not wake me up trying to remember and find what he needs!I would definitely reccomend this vest to anyone and am considering getting one for myself for art supplies when I am plein-air painting.... don't do that at the "crack of dawn" thankfully, but can still get it loaded and ready to go.Thanks for a fantastic product that was finally the gift that was EXACTLY what he wanted.DomPhoTOGS Vest X-Large (Khaki) | 45 stars

Awesome Camera
I decided to get into photography around May of '08. I surfed the net for hours on end(It's something I do) and went through dozens of reviews and comparisons for dSLRs. I came to the conclusion that the XTI was the best camera and offered the most bang for the buck.I bought this with the 18-55mm kit, and also purchased the 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. Amazing.Picture quality is AWESOME! There is so much versatility with this camera compared to a point and shoot. Obviously the XTI isn't something I want to lug around to a party or the pool hall to take photos of friends, but it's perfect for portraits and landscapes(all I've done so far).I've gotten some really really good photos out of this camera. The Photos are fairly sharp if you hold it(almost perfect with tripod and self timer) and I can only brag about owning one. Great job Canon. Thanks! | 45 stars

Don't believe the hype
I purchased this after reading the positive reviews here, particularly the one with the instructions on how to set up international mode. Sadly, what sounds too good to be true usually is. While setting it to 87.9 (87.7 is used for broadcast in LA) is BETTER than using other channels, there is still a good amount of interference and static.I imagine that using international mode in less populated areas results in a crisper signal, but that is not the case in Los Angeles. It has about as much static as any other FM transmitter that I've used. I'll probably keep it though, since it was only $20. It works, it just doesn't work as well as I thought it might.Btw, while it works fine with my iPod 5G, it will not charge my iPhone 3G. (Music still works) | 23 stars

Not what I expected.
I thought this would be easier to handle than binoculars when I have a camera in the other hand. I was wrong about that. A monocular needs two hands to focus, and it is much harder to get on target and even harder to pan, as it doesn't lock into your eye sockets like a binocular. I also thought it would give me a hand-lens view of an insect but from 15 inches away, and it doesn't. The insect is magnified, though not 8 times, but it looks far away, so you don't see much detail.This monocular has several design weaknesses. The eye-cup is only 3/4 inch in diameter, so instead of sitting on the bones around the eye, it pokes you in the eyeball, so you have to try to hold it at the right distance from the eye, and so much light enters the eyepiece and reflects off the lens that the image is severely degraded. The eyepiece lens is very small and the eye has to be precisely in the center of the lens to see the whole field of view. The focus ring needs less than one turn lock-to-lock, but at 2 inches diameter that takes a lot of finger movement. The killer is that just a barely detectable movement takes you from crisp to fuzzy, then just a litle more and you are so far off focus that there is nothing identifiable in the entire field of view, and it's like that for almost the whole focussing range. So at first look, turning the wheel a quarter turn each way won't tell you which way to go, and if you turn the focus too fast you zip past the correct setting without even noticing it. With careful setup and the right light, the optics seemed to have excellent resolution and contrast, but in the field I found this much too difficult to use. | 01 star

Waste of money
After 5 months of use, pictures started appearing with broken lines in the middle, some kind of strange dotted line, so I stopped using it. Only video works but quality of audio is poor and also grainy in low light. I will not buy Casio anymore. Buy Canon instead if you want quality picture and amazing video with powerful sound. | 01 star

Helped, but not by much.
I just bought my wife a new Vista system with an ATI Wonder TV card, so luckily I was able to run signal strength tests from the tuner diagnostic screen in Media Center. I did a pretty complete test with different splitters and came up with the following:My base readings using my standard connection (no signal booster, cablevision supplied splitters) gave me about 40db for basic channels, -8db for standard HBO, and a range of -9 to -12db for higher channels. The worst performance were the digital music channels at -12db (works but the music hiccups a bit). Keep in mind this is running through a cablecard connected to the TV card.Surprisingly, I found virtually no difference between the cablevision supplied splitters and the Monster 5-1000 splitters. Signal loss is rated the same on a double splitter (-3.5db per split). My old gold Radio Shack splitters were only marginally worse (about -1db worth of difference overall).Adding the signal booster in any splitter configuration only gave me at best an extra 1db on average. The digital music channels come in noticeably better, but the audio still hiccups regularly. -12db should be within acceptable range limits, so it might be the cable card. (My HD DVR box on the den TV handles the digital music flawlessly, so my only conclusion is that the cablecard is the culprit.If anyone knows a way to test signal at the source I'd appreciate the imput. | 23 stars

Excellent Product
I live in Houston so there is not much open space on the FM spectrum. I had tried an cheaper FM transmitter and it just wasn't very good and eventually broke. This one works fairly well, with only occasional interference from an FM station somewhere. And it charges my Sansa MP3 player to boot. | 34 stars

Better choice for iPods than Sennheiser HD280
The venerable V6 is a steal at $70. I also own a pair of MDR7506's and the sound is indistinguishable between them. Hooked up to home or studio gear they sound great. And it is true you can order inexpensive replacement ear pads from Sony's parts division.The Sennheiser HD280 is the main competitor to the V6/MDR7506. Connected to studio/home equipment, the HD280 may be a better choice for classical, jazz and acoustic music. The mids sound a little cleaner than the V6. Having said that the HD280 is larger than the V6 and requires more power for equal loudness and bass. iPods and MP3 players just don't have enough juice to power the Sennheiser; the V6 is more efficient. | 45 stars

This is sooo much better!

Surprisingly Cheap Feeling for such an expensive device...
I know many on here love this trackball, so please don't flame me. I bought this today and set it up. I was shocked at the flimsy, cheapy feel of the scroll ring, and of the motion of the trackball itself. I was not at all impressed, for 100 bucks. I'm returning it. | 12 stars

Not worth the price...
I bought my DIR-615 in November '07. By April '08 it died just like so many others reported. Before that, we went through a period of intermittent signal drops. I searched D-Link's website for solutions and couldn't find one. I emailed tech support and got back a dumb response. Since I didn't keep my receipt and really need to get my network back up, I went out and bought a new Linksys WRTG54S and a Belkin G Router (I use the Belkin as an Access Point to extend my wi-fi coverage). Both have kept up with our networking needs without a glitch and they're in the same price range (less the free PCMCIA N card).My recommendation, avoid the D-Link if not tech-savvy. If you don't mind playing network system administrator, go right ahead and buy this headache. By the way, there is a fix for the dead DIR-615 which is pretty simple (involves reloading the firmware). See earlier comments for the steps. | 01 star

Not bad, Just don't breath
Nice clarity, compact, and focus is easy to get adjusted. I'm sure they're waterproof as advertised because I've been out in the rain with them and they still work. However, they are NOT fogproof as advertised. I was siting in a tree stand deer hunting on a cool damp morning and lifted the binocs to my face to look around. I got about 3 seconds of good viewing before they completely fogged over to the point I couldn't see anything through them. I might try treating the lenses with rain-x or something and hope for the best. The #1 reason I bought these was the claim Bushnell made about fogproof. To say the least I'm a bit disapointed. | 23 stars

Not That Great
This is only marginally better than using the computer microphone that probably came with your computer. I found that it really doesn't pick up sound well, seeing as the microphone hangs at around mid-cheek. A [price] stereo set I got at Radio Shack with a mike that comes all the way out to my MOUTH works a lot better. Don't waste your money. | 12 stars

A great Buy
A wonderful plasma TV that is affordable and at the same time great product. There are many brands in the marketplace but this stands out. The picture is sharp and clear. This can be put on the wall or on a stand. This is my first SAMSUNG purchase and I feel that they have set the bar higher with this tv.I purchased it at $2039 and saw the price drop which Amazon immediately refunded. This gives you confidence to shop without being worried. | 45 stars

great DSLR for beginner
The feel, operation and results are excellent. My first DSLR. I was also considering Canon Rebel XTi but after trying both cameras at store to compare the handle feeling. D50 is the one with a better handle. Great camera and great price I paid on Amazon. | 45 stars

The Magic Arm works great and is built great
I bought a Bogen Magic Arm in 1982 with a camera mount on one end and a clamp on the other end. It has outlasted seven cameras and half a dozen tripods. It gets used for every recital, concert, play, or sporting event that I go to for my kids. I just clamp it onto the chair or bench or door or fence or railing and I have a steady platform for pictures that doesn't get in the way of anyone.Almost 22 years of steady use with no sign of wear. Very handy and very durable.-- update 2/7/2012 --Almost 30 years of use now and still going strong. I bought a new Manfrotto head for it that adjusts more easily and it just keeps being more useful. | 45 stars

Just what I needed
This surge protector is the perfect solution to the multiple types of chargers and electronic plug-ins I have. The pivoting receptacles allow me to use all available receptacles without covering one or more when plugging in oversized plugs. | 45 stars

Dusted this one off after 2 years of storage...
We've had this printer for quite a while now and it hadn't been used for over 2 years till recently. It's an above average to mediocre printer (Image wise), it's friggin' noisy, sometimes takes an age to print a doc. But the sole reason I'm giving this thing 5 stars (Apart from the fact that it still works) Is the fact that the Ink cartridges still had tons of ink in them! I'm so used to ink jet printers drying out after about 2 weeks-1 month of non-usage I simply wasn't expecting this thing to still have a usable ink cartridge in it, much less have it's nozzles totally unclogged after only one deep cleaning cycle. Let me repeat that; It hadn't been used for 2 YEARS, and the thing still had ink to spare.In short, if you rarely use your printer, and have found that every time you DO use the bloody thing that you have to blow 30-70 bucks on a new cartridge, get this printer, you won't regret it. | 45 stars

Great product at a great price
I received the capacitor and was brand new as advertised, came with the resistor so that's a plus and this is a good name brand for audio equipment so I chose this one. Installs very easy, just as any other capacitor would. Works great, zero issues and doesn't have any of my lights dimming in my Acura tl. I am running two kicker 12" L7's and an mtx thunder 81001 amp so this is no small system. I would highly recommend this to anyone | 45 stars

Too Short For Me
I have a Men's Small/Medium-sized hand and I find this Boxwave stylus to be too short for me. If I hold it more vertically instead of in the crook between my thumb and index finger it works fine - but that position doesn't feel natural to me. I gave it to my wife and she loves it. She has found it too difficult to insert the short cord into the earphone jack hole and doesn't want to force it. The tip is firm enough to navigate easily. A well-made product that looks like it will last a long time. | 23 stars

Best for the money A+
I bought a set of these speakers 8 yrs. ago, sodered in 1/4 in. jacks so I could use them for my DJ biz. I still to this day have had no problems with them. They are just now starting to show some wear from all the travel they have endured. These bad boys thump! I even daisy chain a 12 in. fender floor monitor to one of them for karaoke and still get plenty of power. I was so impressed with these that I bought an extra pair 7 yrs. ago for when the first ones wear out and have yet to use the extra ones. I run these on the floor and a couple 10 in. BMB speakers on stands and the sound is incredable. Best value for the money but not sure if you can still get them. | 45 stars

iPods are #1 for a reason
Whoa, what a disappointment! Sound is way below the quality of my iPod 6 GB mini. My iPod is charging constantly while I play it in my car with my Monster cable, and it is also charging while I work with my music files.Maybe the new, yet-to-be released Zens are better. One can always hope. I don't have anything Apple, except my trusty iPod, and I will gladly replace my Mini with the 30 GB iPod when I run out of space. You can't beat the clickwheel navigation of iPod either...awesome for those of use who work out while using our players, awesome for using while driving. Once again, Apple rules the world of MP3 players. | 12 stars

Still chugging along
I bought one of these back in 2003 and it's been protecting my computer, monitor, wireless router and dsl modem ever since. Granted we don't lose power that often but the few times we have, this UPS did it's thing and kept me up and running without skipping a beat. Last year I had to replace the batteries but that was much cheaper than having to buy another UPS. Added a 22" LCD Wide screen flat panel monitor this year and the computer is running 2 gigs of ram on a 2.8ghz AMD athlon xp processor. All things considered, I can't give Belkin enough praise and if needed I'd purchase another UPS from them without hesitation. | 45 stars

Works well, easier to install now
I purchased this memory to replace the 1GB memory module in my Acer Aspire One netbook in the Spring of 2009. It is much easier to replace the memory now with a small plastic piece being secured by a screw on the bottom of the netbook. The older memory will pop up when the connector sides are gently pushed to the side. I wish I was able to remember more about the connector so that I could describe it here. Anyway, this memory is working well for me now. Also, I believe that the latency figures on this memory are slightly better. | 45 stars

Get a PPA or equivalent instead
Purchased this adapter so I could use a good old-fashioned Goldtouch folding keyboard. It was basically useless. If I typed at more than a few words per minute, it started dropping keystrokes. Even when it didn't drop them, the lag from hitting the key to seeing a reaction on screen was unbelievable. After throwing this one out, I purchased a PPA adapter (the vendor actually sent a Bytecc) here on Amazon which works great. | 01 star

Paying for a name.
I bought a Bose Lifestyle 35 system in Denver, CO, at the Cherry Creek Mall Bose Outlet. Prior to purchase, I was brought into a sound studio in the store to listen to "the system". It sounded pretty impressive. I brought the unit home, hooked it up and listened. Honestly, I had a hard time telling whether the Bose system or my television speakers were on. Very disappointed. I turned up the volume a bit (about 75% of max) and the center cube speaker blew. Very disappointed. I did some research and learned a lot. Bose does not publish a lot of the specs one would expect to be published on any audio system, let alone such an expensive one. People in the field think poorly of Bose quality and value, period. I called Bose Headquarters, the store in Denver, and a local dealer inquiring about returning the unit. I was told I must drive the unit back to Denver (250 miles from my home, over the mountains, in the snow) to return it, which I did. When I did, the store manager informed me that there is a mail-in return policy and I didn't need to waste an entire day, let alone drive so far in such conditions. He asked if there was anything else I was unhappy about (besides the salesgirl not informing me that I was to receive a free Wave Radio with the purchase; by the way, I liked the Wave Radio a lot but it is also overpriced), and I asked him if the system in the demo studio in the store is the same system I purchased. I mean, after all, they shine pretty spotlights on it and completely lead you to believe that's what you're listening to. "I don't believe anyone said that to you, did they?" was my response. Unbelievable. It turns out that what you hear in the studio is a specially recorded track (made by the designers of the system to accentuate the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of the system) played on an $8000 digital tape player! I subsequently purchased a $500 Onkyo 6.1 channel (not 5.1, like the Bose) system from Circuit City and am completely thrilled. It sounds FAR better than the Bose, for 1/7 the price. Goodbye, Bose, forever. | 12 stars

same thing happened to me
Boy, I wish I'd read these reviews before I bought this piece of junk. The DVD player broke just about 4 months after I bought it ... of course, after the 90-day free exchange warranty was up. And yep, Magnavox is charging $99 for a replacement ... and in addition I have to fill out a form, hunt down my receipt, pack the old unit up and pay UPS to ship it (Magnavox is generous enough to ship the replacement for free, bless their hearts) ... pardon me if I think it's a better idea to buy a different DVD player that hasn't disappointed nearly everyone who's bought it. Pass on this one, folks. | 01 star

refurbished mighty mouse
I normally don't buy refurbished anythings, but since I was familiar with how to take the "mighty mouse" apart and clean it myself, I thought I'd take advantage of the refurbished price. So far, it works (and looks) like new. I got six years out of my original Mighty Mouse and figure this one will last as well. | 45 stars

Irritating & Buggy
When my Apple keyboard drowned in a few drips of coffee, I was on the lookout for a hardy replacement. I settled on the ICEKEY after reading many good reviews. But for all its positive qualities, the one thing that drives me absolutely insane is when the keys stop working, and I have to unplug and plug it back in to the USB port. I don't understand why this happens, because the mouse that is attached to the USB port on the keyboard does not stop working. Only the keys. This sounds like a minor inconvenience, but I have to crawl under my desk, in pantyhose and a skirt, getting tangled in dusty computer cables, trying desperately in the darkness to find the correct cable to unplug/replug. It is a MAJOR HASSLE. Plus, the cable that comes with the keyboard is WAY TOO LONG. Do they think I need to bring my keyboard with me into the next room? I would rather have a shorter cord with optional extender. Also, the extra USB port on the keyboard does not work with my USB Flash drive. I never had that problem with my Apple keyboard.The keyboard has a great feel, but the bugginess is so irritating, I really wish I had just gotten another Apple keyboard. | 12 stars

Just Right
There are two different types of people. Some people like to carry a lot of stuff with them wherever they go, you know, just in case. Others, they like to travel light and make do with what they have.If you are the latter, then this case is for you. What I like about it is the nice snug fit and the high quality feel. It's the prefect size for the camera, a spare battery, and a spare memory card or two. You won't be able to squeeze anything inside the case after you put the camera in there (maybe a memory card), but there are two mesh side pockets that are just the right size for batteries and spare memory. They're kinda tight at first, so you have to "force" the battery in, but it's all for good reason since I'm sure you wouldn't want to lose a rather pricey battery anyways.The strap is a nice size (not too wide, not too thin) and it's highly adjustable from a snug, right under your arm fit to a loose, over the shoulder fit. There's also a button latched strap to place it on your belt.Overall, an excellent product...depending on your needs and expectations. | 34 stars

Surprisingly high quality
For as inexpensive as they are, these are very solid and well-made. Better than some higher-priced cables I've bought. The insulation is thick, but flexible, and the connectors are sturdy. I have at least half a dozen of them, and I am completely satisfied and would buy again. | 45 stars

Great modem for the price
I've assembled a few dozen "budget" systems over the last few years and the one thing that always bothered me is how difficult it is to find a good quality modem at a low end system price. I'm usually thrilled to get 42-46kbps in my area. I recently had to buy a modem in a hurry at a chain store to finish up a machine and it happened to be the DI5630. I have to say that I'm impressed. I've been using the PCI version and over the last few months it's never connected at less than 48kbps. I've read some of the reviews about difficulties with the PnP feature of this card but have never come across this problem using the Win98 OS on any of the PCs I've built since then. I think this modem is about the best you can get for the money, and until I break down and get cable or DSL, this is the last modem I'm going to buy for myself. | 45 stars

Broke My Stereo
To start off, it looks cheap right out of the box. It says on the box to not use it with AC DELCO devices and it did not disclose this online. I drive a Buick and General Motors tends to use AC DELCO products.I inserted it into my tape deck and tried to play music.... Nothing. I switched the orientation of the cord as per the instructions and tried again... Nothing.After a few tries, the tape player stopped ejecting and I had to pull this device out of my radio. Now no functions of my stereo work including tapes, CD's and the radio. I had no problems with my stereo before using this device.Be warned. This is a bad product. Spend the extra money for the higher quality device. Its worth it in the long run. | 01 star

Not a long life....
I bought this scanner a little over a year ago and it did great initially. I have scanned quite a few photos and the image quality was always great. Until recently. It would scan, then appear on my photo software as great and then when I would print it would have bands of about 1" running through (light, dark, light, dark....) Initially I thought it was my printer. But when I would print directly from downloaded digital photos they wouldn't appear in such a manner. I still bought another printer (From an initially great Canon to an HP8400) and the HP printer is working well, so far, but the installation of that software interfered somehow with the smooth scanning transition of it's own brand of scanner (?) At any rate - when I took the more complex route of scanning due to above mentioned software interference I still end up with the bands on the printed photos. So off to try another HP flatbed scanner and hopefully the software will mesh with it's HP printer counterpart. SIGH. Does anyone know if scanners tend to lose life after a lot of use in the manner with which I just described? | 23 stars

Good MP3 Player for Decent Price
If you don't want to pay $299 for a regular iPod. I would go with this. It holds about 1,000 songs. I bought a silver iPod mini about a month ago. It worked perfectly. Yesterday I just exchanged it for the 20gig iPod because I wanted for room, but if you think 1,000 is enough...buy this. You won't be disappointed. | 45 stars

Easy to use, poor at low light and night.
So our Sony HI8 died after only about 20 hours of use :(We decided to give a canon a shot. The ejection door for the mini tape seems less "mechanical" so fewer things to go wrong.This camcorder is very easy to use. you are able to take decent pictures while taping video and it does not interfere with the video.Some people complain about "motor sounds". I don't here it, even in my kid's room at night when it is silent.At low light, the colors are not all that great, kind of surprised. At night the "night shot" is terrible. I would recommend getting the attached light for $60.00.The things I like:Size.ease of use.Zoom works fast and decent.Focusing is fast and accurate.When you turn the camera on, it is ready in about 2 seconds.When it is on and you hit record, it is ready in about half a second(fast).In decent lighting, takes pretty good pictures, I was surprised.The things I don't like.A lot of these camcorders don't have lense caps or covers that are permanent? They snap on and off, hang from a strap.I don't have really big hands, but my fingers are too big for the buttons, or should I say that the buttons are very small.As I mentioned, the low light use is not too good, make sure the room is bright.Comes wit a 8 mb card with some stupid graphics on it (I erased it all).No mike input.No light?All in all, for the price (when on sale) I highly recommend this camera. Now that I have used it for a while, for a little more money, I probably would have bought the model (Elura80?) with the light.Like buying a pair of shoes, try several different camcorders, "feel" them at the store. you will see big differences.Enjoy!John | 34 stars

Believe the positive reviews
I bought this case with a little hesitation on account of the price and some issues some people had getting theirs before Christmas time. I had no problem with shipping...it came before Amazon estimated. I would recommend buying through Amazon--you at least get their guarantee. The case is well worth the money. Despite being opaque black, it looks great, just as snazzy as the original black ipod. It is difficult to use the hold switch, but it is possible if you use your fingernail. It's not bad enough to warrant cutting up the case. The only complaint I have is that the case seems to be a lint trap on account of the texture of the silicone rubber. Even with some lint, the case still looks good. Not a big deal. Until the clear hard plastic cases start to get thorough reviews, this seems to be the best you can do. Also, as advertised, this case works with the universal dock...a huge plus for me (it is, admittedly, not as easy to get it in there as it was without the case because you have to hold the flap back during insertion...I will probably get used to it though). | 45 stars

Good basic camera that does what I need
I have owned the A460 for some time now and have no complaints. I purchased it for under $100.00 from Amazon so have no complaints. I needed a general-purpose camera to take fishing and on metal detecting outings and the camera has worked great it both situations. I took this camera and two sets of rechargeable batteries on a two-month business trip to Japan, Singapore and Diego Garcia and it did an excellent job. The only complaint I have is it is a little bulky but nothing I cannot live with. I use other larger cameras for low light work so that was not an issue for me. | 34 stars
