Skippy... not the peanut butter kind.
Decent CD player for the price. We bought it for our baby, so we weren't going Bose. Anyway, it's ok, but it skips like crazy. If a feather lands on it, the CD skips... seriously. Also, the repeat and other similar functions are a little complex and confusing. And, no, it's not us! :) | 0negative

The best mp3 for the price
I was looking something with built in speaker, and video playback, and for the price, this device is really, really nice, its highly recommended, just notice that like any other "video player" device like this ones, don't expect you AVI videos run natively, you have to use the software provided, but its pretty easy to use. | 1positive

Good Drive....For the Office not travel
I bought this drive thinking of using it for travel, I ended up using it in the office, the most travel it does is between office and home.It works great, passes info from drive to pc and viceversa with good speed, don't know the specs but I havent waited long at all. The only 2 downsides to this gadget are its size, to travel its big, for the office its great becouse on a desk it looks small; and the second downfall are the cables, no direct USB connection, you have to use cables which I have no doubt I will eventually loose.All in all, great back up drive for work. | 1positive

Fine Product and Great Value
Have had one for 3 weeks now, since I replaced an old Sony that broke after 14 years service. This unit works as advertised. Love the remote features, sleep timer, and sound quality. For this price, it is well worth it.Seems all manufacturers are cutting quality today, so I'll wait and see how long it lasts, but my guess is it will perform for many years to come.The AM/FM tuner, the phono inputs, too are great since I own two turntables and often spin old 45's. | 1positive

False Advertising
This item is not the actual software. It's an UPGRADE. That means you have to have the actual software to use this. Unfortunately I did not have the actual software, therefore I can not use this product. | 0negative

Kept shorting out
Worked great in about 10 minute intervals, then would short out and turn back to the radio. It could have just been my car, but I'd heard this product had done the same thing to other people after I'd already bought the iCarPlay. Maybe it will work great if it doesn't short out on you; maybe it won't & you'll be frustrated | 0negative

Total con: obsolete item
This does not work on ipods being sold today. It may have worked on first generation ipod with video. Certainly DOES NOT work on new ipod classic OR ipod nano with video. There is NO VIDEO OUTPUT through the headphone socket. you need an apple cable to connect to the long connector to do that. Doesent surprise me this company wont respond to complaints about this. Bloody crooks, I feel cheated. Its tantamount to selling dial-up modems and telling folk they can get broadband through them. | 0negative

I purchased this "protector" over a year ago from a local office store because it was on sale. Recently I submitted a loss to Belkin due to a power surge resulting from a lightning storm at my home office. This product guarantees replacement at an "Unlimited Amount!" I now know, after experiencing Belkin's claim/customer service, how they can make that promise. It's quite simple to make empty statements. In fact, they should add, "Comes with a FREE CAR!" because Belkin's response to my claim, via a pattern letter, was "there is no physical information to support your connected equipment warranty claim with Belkin Corporation."I had 3 components plugged into this suppressor. Belkin failed to protect 2 of the 3. So I'm left with a $... loss, including the original surge protector purchase. That's right, you mail the surge protector to Belkin, so they can evaluate their product, and they don't even send you a replacement! Not that I'd use it because their product does not work. How do I know with certainty that their product doesn't work? On the same date of the loss I had, APC products protected 17 of 18 items in my home office. My only APC loss was a 27" TV. Also, when I contacted APC regarding my claim, I spoke to a person, and I had a replacement suppressor arrive at my home within 3 days. In contrast, when I contacted Belkin regarding my loss, after a phone maze, at my cost (no 800 number for claimants) I was directed to the Internet to file my claim. Two weeks later I get a pattern letter from Belkin denying any product failure on their part.Bottom line APC had better products, and provides better service. I strongly recommend you look elsewhere for a surge protection. | 0negative

Fast, Cheep but also cheep
Great fast lens, f/1.8 for under $100!! does some great outdoor night type shots without a tripod and without cranking the ISO too high!a little cheep feeling , all plastic, I don't foresee this taking all that much abuse, but for the price, i will just get another later.AutoFocus speeds are ok, not the quickest, but i have not lost a shot due to focus time! | 1positive

I wish I could give a zero
This Radio is total poop! It worked great for 2 months, and then all of a sudden, the slightest breeze would cause the thing to shut off. At first it would turn back on and if I was able to hit the lock switch before it shut off it would stay on...until I wanted to change the station and had to unlock the darn thing and "poof" gone. After a couple of days of these shenanigans, it would shut off as soon as I turned on it on, lock trick or no lock trick. End of the tunes, DONE! And to think, I was anti-Sony!!! Panasonic was a good name but I won't buy anything they make anymore. I bought a phone from them that came with a faulty battery, returned it twice and finally bought a good battery and it's worked great ever since but come on!!! The thing was brand new!!! | 0negative

Haven't used it that much.
This review may not be that informative because I've only printed a few pages. It was easy to set up and works fine. One thing, if you want to use the fax it needs a seperate phone line. I tried to use one line for both, but if I get a phone call it won't stop beeping at us when we're trying to talk. | 1positive

Beware! This does not work with iPod Touches.
Those who are saying that this item works with the iPod touch must be shills for the seller. It most certainly does NOT work with the iPod touch. I just received one, and when I plugged it into my car and then my iPod, an error pops up on the iPod saying "Cannot charge, device incompatible with this iPod."Argh. Now I have to go through the hassle of sending it back and eating the horribly high shipping costs. | 0negative

Not for first timers
I received this as a requested Christmas gift and was very much looking forward to having an easily portable drive that could play my CD collection at home as well as at work with docking stations, or, wherever I chose with the headphones. The unit I received was purchased new at Best Buy, along with a charging cable. Upon opening I found an 8 page simplisitc folder that tells you how to turn it on and off, but not much else. No problem - go to the iTunes website and download a 70+ page instruction manual. Great! Here we go - loaded 700 Cd's worth of music onto the iPod, and enjoyed it for three weeks. Then the iPod froze. I tried to re-sync but it would no longer recognize several files stored in the iTunes library. Deleted those files, "restored" the iPod to factory settings and tried to re-sync. If collecting different "unknown error messages" is your hobby you might be happy with this. Unless you're a big fan of user forums that offer multiple solutions to problems that should've been resolved before putting the product on the market I'd suggest that you seriously consider other options before purchasing this product. (And no, I'm not an 80 yr old who knows nothing about them 'puters'.) | 0negative

Inexpensive cables that work well
I've only used them once so far and these are not the highest quality cables but they are great for the price. Once I changed the iPod video setting to TV OUT, I got a great picture and great audio. I did not have any issues with the cables being loose, although they don't give a snug fit like higher-end cables. There are some things I don't like about the iPod, but it is amazing that I can plug this tiny media player into a TV anywhere and watch a movie or tv show from my collection. Every iPod Video owner should get video cables. | 1positive

Disappointment
This camera is fine for simple outdoor photography, but anything overcast, in motion or requiring any variation of focus will yield a disappointing outcome. This camera is all but useless indoors--I certainly regret having taken it with me to Europe this summer, it was not worth its weight in luggage. | 0negative

My first binoculars for stargazing
I read many of the reviews here and was a little hesitant to make the purchase.. but finally decided to give it a try. I find it to be good quality. Out of the box, I had no issues or double-vision as some of the other reviewers described. I expected it after reading the reviews and being that I have an astigmatism but was pleasantly surprised to have no issues at all. It is heavy but not bothersome for me. I find it difficult to keep steady when zoomed in all the way but I think that would be an issue with just about any pair of binoculars. For that reason, I'm going to get mini tripods for it and set that up for stargazing. It comes with a case that is not of such high quality but will do. Neck strap is not super either. Other issue was the manual referenced out-dated website links.. which is just laziness from Barska but was able to get around it with by Googling for links (warranty registration and etc). Overall, I would recommend these binoculars for beginners like myself. I have been using it pretty much every night this week since we've had clear skies and I find it to be a great deal for the quality vs. price. Would get 5 stars if the case was leather or better quality accessories (lens covers and strap) and manuals was up2date. | 1positive

It's a piece of junk--don't buy it!
I took this floppy drive out of the box and plugged the USB cable into my computer. When I inserted a floppy my computer said it was not formatted. When I attempted to remove the floppy, the eject button doesn't work. When you press on it, the floppy moves inside the drive but not enough to self-eject or to allow you to grasp it to pull it out. This was a total waste of my time. | 0negative

Portable TV?
Though this is a cute little TV, it was a waste of money. I wanted a little inexpensive television to take to work to watch the Bears games. The antenna only works for the radio, not the TV. To watch TV, you have to either attach it to your cable box, or get one of those rabbit ear things that plug in to the back of the TV and into the wall. How is that supposed to be portable? Without an additional antenna all I get is a blue screen. I would not buy this product!!! | 0negative

Highly Disappointing
I bought this MP3 player last spring hoping I would be able to put all my songs on it and carry it with me everywhere. It's bulk kept me from taking it anywhere, and after about 6 months of having trouble with turning it on and it's short battery life, it broke and I can't get it to turn on, even when it is plugged in. | 0negative

Not Half Bad
just like the guy before me, I just wanted the Nikkor 55-200mm lens, the bag and the Card reader. The lens itself is $219,99 the Bag is around $30,00 and the card reader can be $5,00. All that is $255,00 and this kit is $250, and brings much more. The rest of the stuff really isn't best brand products, but they're there. I had a little trouble buying via Amazon, the shipping date was going to be September 22nd. and i was leaving on a trip that day, I called Cameta, and ordered it on the phone, and got it in 3 days. The lens it self is great. As you might have already known it makes a very eerie sound when VR is on. Its very quiet but very eerie. It does not bother me too much. The Bag is very nice and durable; quite big. The tripod is "meh", lots of plastic. the SD reader...it works... thats about it! I'd say go for it... I think this other guy is exaggerating quite a bit by giving one star. Hope you enjoy! | 1positive

Does what it is supposed to
Used this for a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire radio replacement. It worked fine. I seem to have more static in radio stations now, but I cannot isolate it to this or the new stereo. It was nice to have a one piece adaptor rather than having a cord behind this that the antenna plug plugs into. | 1positive

A Solid Option and a very Good Camera
Solid construction, good optics, nice sound. As mentioned by others, the output for the USB transfer is found in the handycam console and not the camera itself...a minor annoyance. All in all, this is a good camera that is touch pricy but you do get what you pay for... | 1positive

Not sure about this weather radio!
I bought this weather radio because we can't hear the tornado sirens where we live and I thought it would be helpful to know if there were any warnings at night. I thought I would also be able to see what time it was in the dark. After 2 nights of being blinded by the bright blue light when trying to see the time we turned the light off and put our old alarm clock on a different dresser. So now we have what looks like 2 alarm clocks in our bedroom!! I really don't know if it works or if we have it set right because we havn't had any warnings yet. To make a long story short, this radio has a sucky display and is confusing to set!! | 0negative

Not bad, if you happen to get one that works!
I've now owned two of these, and neither worked properly. The first worked great, as long as you were within 20 feet and direct line-of-sight to the device. To Linksys' credit, their tech support line worked well with me to diagnose that the device was bad and issue a merchandise credit. The second one I owned worked fine for about a month before the wireless capability stopped working altogether. I suppose I could work Linksys again and get another merchandise credit (and cross my fingers it will work), but I think I'll just buy a NetGear device instead. | 0negative

Fujifilm Waterproof Camera - Great for the Money!
I bought this camera for my cruise with my girlfriends. We were going snorkeling and wanted to be able to take pictures under water without ruining our other digital cameras. I saw good reviews online for this and thought I would give it a try. For $12, it was an excellent buy! The pictures weren't nearly as high quality as a digital camera would give you, but for what I paid for it, I am happy. It captured the moments we wanted it to, and it was really fun to use! | 1positive

ugh
I just don't like the huge ear plugs that are on this set. Even though they have volume control, it is horrible. If you are going to spend little on a pair, there is a similar product from the same company with earbuds...the volume control is much better and I never had to put it all the way up.To me, they aren't even worth it if they are a penny with free shipping. I gave them away. | 0negative

Over hyped
I bought these head phones a couple years ago. They have failed on me 3 times in all. The part that failed was the mini jack that you plug into your player (mp3/cd/etc). While Shure honored their warranty, they never did anything about the fact that their product kept failing at the same place twice.Iver all i didnt like the fact that the headphones were too big and heavy. The 3 different sizes ear fittings offered by Shure didnt fit my ear (my ears are smaller then the Shure avg).Would I buy them again? Nope, in general I'm staying away from this brand. | 0negative

simple filxes need
The on/off switch is deficient in that it's difficult to keep it in one or the other. It doesn't click into place. And more importantly, the keyboard is not accurate most of the time. Often you get an adjacent letter instead of the one you touch, and have to go back and start over. | 0negative

Great Case
This case works great! My processor runs 15-20 C cooler with this case than it did with my old case. I don't see what many people are saying about the fan being loud on High. I have it on High and can only hear it if I turn off all my other electronics. The removable air filter is nice, the case and power supply are both of very high quality, and the HDD mounting is awesome.Pros:* High build quality - it looks and feels like it's built to last* High quality power supply - and on Antec's website somewhere I saw that even if you get a defective power supply, you can RMA just the power supply without having to RMA the whole case* Power / HDD LEDs are fairly bright - on my old case they were so dim you had to stare just to find them, and you couldn't see them from any angle other than staring straight at it.* Removable and cleanable air filter* The case opens up well - rather than sliding out and being a pain to insert and remove, it opens and pops out kind of like a door* Looks goodCons:* Front panel audio jacks are kind of a tight fit, but they will probably wear down with use | 1positive

GINORMOUS
This speaker is HUGE !!!It is louder then all my other speakers had to turn down the center channel. I think the impedence of this speaker is really 6 ohm and not 8ohm. I didnt measure but I guess it to be about 25% louder then other speakers being fed the same power.Im still toying with crossover settings on my reciever but this unit sounds good as low as 60hz. | 1positive

Very Nifty Product
Having waited around to see how the MP3 standard would evolve, I felt the time was right to jump on this bandwagon. I bought the device to include it as portion of a Harley Davidson motorcycle stereo system (helmet installed headphones, with amp). I was concerned about vibration, among other things. Completed the install yesterday, and works like a champ.Two comments. The documentation provided with the device is woefully inadequate. I did not install the Audio Manager software, as I prefer staying with Real Jukebox, which is compatible with the Rio 500. Thus, any documentation that would come with the software install was not useful. The "Guide" that comes with the device does not explain adequately how to set up the "Program" function. I also have a PC that is somewhat unreliable when using certain USB devices. Sometimes the Rio device mysteriously becomes unrecognized, which takes some tweaking to fix. The documentation does little to help the user out with this issue.Overall, and excellent addition to anyone's "gadget" collection. | 1positive

Poor product
I do order this product Amazon redirect by ANTonline a month ago. The 1st one I order it was never work, so I return it to ANTonline and got only 50% refund(Not much, but better than nothing). Since I'm try to do some work during the Christmas time, I order another one again. I do the same procedure and finially hook up. The light is "ON"(Look ok) When I try to search satellite, I can't even get any signal at all in any direction. So I feel like I'm getting the fail product again.....very very disappointed. This time, I'm not going to return it since I won't get a full refund plus I have to pay the shipping fee by myself. So it going to end up I only have $5 back to my account. IT IS NOT WORTH TO RETURN IT.....SO I DECIDED TO EAT IT AND NOT GOING TO ORDER IT AGAIN.... | 0negative

Very secure and sturdy but no real directions on how to make it a wall mount.
I purchased this item because it came up under a search for "wall mount digital projector" and clearly stated in the add that it could be a wall mount. however the directions it came with were very limited and said nothing about how to use it as a wall mount. We have to mount it on the wall as we have 25 foot cathedral ceilings, so a ceiling mount will obviously not work. I did figure it out in an hour of fiddling, and if the method had been included in the directions this product would have received five stars! Great Price, Great Product, just please help with that a little information =] After receiving several requests for HOW to install on a wall, I took some pictures and posted them. . You can't use the extension on the wall mount without major modifications. But you can make it work on the wall, if you are willing to be creative. =] | 1positive

Half of them work
I ordered two of these for my mac mini because they were the cheapest I could find, $90. One out of the two was defective so I sent one back. They sent me back two replacements and one out of these two was defective. I think the reason they sent me two replacements is because they know that only half the chips work.If you're willing to hasle with returns and the difficuly of opening the mini this chip might be worth it. Maybe you should order twice as many as you need and return the defects. | 0negative

Best Ever
These headphones are the best things ever made!! For years I tried everything else, the hook behind the ears with buds in ears, the hook behind the ears and just rest ontop of ears, plain earbuds, the stuff that came with my cd player or ipod, or the plain old famous headphones. Basically the main problems of all these are they hurt horribly and made my ears go numb, fell out, didn't fit in the ear, or could be heard by other people when in use.These headphones solve all those problems, they stay in, they are comfortable, and fit perfectly. In fact many times, I've forgotten I've even had them in because they are so lightweight. I've had them for several years: I've sat on them, stepped on them, threw them around in bags, basically treated them bad, and yet they stilled work until now, after several years. Finally the cord to left side came loose, but I just wiggle it around and it works. A plus is also the cord is the perfect length to fit from your ipod into your jeans, without too much leftover cord to get tangled if your walking or jogging.These headphones are also great because the sound quality is amazing, for such small, light headphones. But also because other people can't hear what you are listening to, no matter how loud you have it. They were perfect for long car trips with the family (obviously to drown out the music from my brother's cheap headphones;) They are also great for airplanes too.I totally recommend these headphones to everyone whenever the topic comes up, and am getting another pair, and will probably be buying these for the rest of my life!! :) | 1positive

Good Quality, Poor Quantity
This cartridge is supposed to print about 220 pages. For an average home office, that means maybe one cartridge per month. I would really like to see anXL version of this cartridge. This would make using the printers associated with this cartridge so much more cost effective. I hope HP is listening.In the mean time, I am pleased to see that the price has been reduced. | 1positive

Great camera, hard to find batteries
Unlike other reviews here, I've had no trouble with the focus, and the red-eye reduction mode has performed better than other flash systems I've used. My camera shipped with a failed battery charger and it took 4+ weeks to get it replaced. Buying a new charger was not an option; supplies for this camera are very hard to find in the USA. The dedicated battery took me weeks of searching online before I found a supplier [mfr out stock for months now], but I did find some so I got a couple spares on hand now. Love the dual SD/stick slots, hexanon optics, and very well designed button/operation layout of this tiny marvel. Audio quality on movie mode is excellent, with great depth of [aural] field. Overall very easy to use and amazing quality of image. | 1positive

Best hands-free way to carry around the Palm m50X
There are a lot of people at work with PDAs, and they all carry them around in some kind of portfolio-style case. This was not acceptable to me--I wanted a hands-free way of keeping my Palm m505 with me.This case is the answer. The black leather is stylish and durable. And this case is low profile--I bought the m505 partly because it's so small, and I wanted a case that's small too. The Palm fits real snugly into this case, and the case is narrow so that you're not always banging it into things as you walk around.The only complaint that kept me from giving it five stars are that I wish Palm built some compartments into the flap cover of the case for carrying extra memory cards. But that's being nit-picky.This is the best way I've seen of keeping your Palm at your side without having to carry it around with your hands. | 1positive

Disappointing performance
I was very disappointed with this new model. Despite its cool specifications, including displaying the broadcast frequency on the nano screen, it didn't perform as well as the older model (designed for 1st-gen iPod nano). The signal was weak, there was a lot of static. Adjusting the broadcast antenna, and moving the unit around to different locations inside the car didn't help. The older model (which I still have, and which does work with the 2nd-gen nano) performs much better. By the way, both my cars (Honda Accord and Pilot) have their radio antennas embedded in the rear/rear-side windows - which should help in-car reception with this type of product. It didn't help with the Airplay Boost (2nd-gen).Performance inside my house (through various FM receivers) was similarly disappointing.I returned the Airplay Boost for a refund (minus the restocking fee). In its place I bought the Griffin iTrip for Nano 2G which is awesome and far exceeds my expectations - for about the same price. | 0negative

Poor Quality Cartridge
I have used Rhinotek cartridges in the past. They are in every way equal to the OEM cartridges. What I received from this vendor was not from Rhinotek. It had plastic where there should be metal, locating pins and other external parts. The images have light bands of black about 25% of the time and there are occasional areas where the toner is missing. To be fair, it was good enough that I did not return but since they substituted a cheaper cartridge, I should have. I will not be ordering from TonerDeal in future. | 0negative

Its NOT wirelsss NOR portable NOR bluetooth.
God the people who write these reviews leave out the most important information. I waited a week and spend over 200 and the thing is not even a wireless printer like it claims.* They do NOT include the wireless card you need.* This printer does NOT have bluetooth capability at all.* They do NOT even include a battery!* That means this is NOT a wireless printer!Don't make the mistake I made. Make sure you search for and buy the "HP Deskjet 460wf" which comes with the wireless card and battery (duh?) ... or the "HP Deskject 460wbt" if you want bluetooth and wireless both.Now have to put the thing back in the box, drive to FedEx, ship it back, and wait another week for a different printer. This is turning into a 3 week process. UGH. | 0negative

Works as advertised
First I want to thank everyone that posted a review on this product because they led me to purchase one. I have a DirecTv receiver in our bonus room above the garage that operates one TV in the bonus room as well as one in the garage below.It worked well for years using the original silver receiver that had an RF antenna so I could operate either TV by aiming the remote at the TV.Well after I was forced to upgrade to the "new and improved black receiver" the remote would only operate the upstairs TV if I pointed it directly at the receiver(which was not near the TV)and of course would not operate the downstairs TV at all.Trying to run wired transmitters to the receiver would have been very difficult so I was looking for a wireless and I found this one.When I first tried it I could not get it to work. However, I found that I had to reprogram the remote to clear all previous settings through the DirecTv menu. That resets the remote to the IR setting.After that it worked perfectly. I could walk anywhere in the upstairs room and it worked every time.I went downstairs in the garage and again it worked perfectly.The only problem was that I needed another transmitter for the garage remote control so I did not have to take the upstairs remote downstairs.So again thanks to the Amazon customer reviews I did not make a mistake.If you need to buy an additional battery, transmitter,and AA plastic sleeve ($15.75)be sure to check if the flying saucer that you bought is the 433 MHZ or the 418 so you buy a matching transmitter.The blue labeled ones are for the 433 and the red labeled ones are for the 418 MHZ.Once I received my additional 433 transmitter and battery,reprogrammed the other DirecTv remote I was in business (had to spin the transmitter slightly in the battery compartment to improve the signal).Thank you again to all reviewers! | 1positive

Western Digital Drive does NOT work with VISTA
I wouldn't recommend this drive to anyone, as it doesn't work with VISTA!! What a waste of money to have a piece of equipment, where the mfg doesn't support you with an UPGRADE TO YOUR SOFTWARE for new operating systems. There customer support is terrible, and the only fix I can see is to pay an additional $49 to Dantz who now does their software (Retrospect Backup) who has offered an upgrade from vs. 6.5 to 7.5 for an additional $49. I just installed approximately 20+ new programs in the past 3 days on my new Vista operating system....and not one of them charged me for software updates because of Vista. BUYER BEWARE. | 0negative

phone ports die
I got this unit with my Vonage service. After about a year, phone port 1 went bad so Vonage moved my service to port 2. Now, about 2 years into my service, port 2 will go non-functional for hours at a time. I went through extensive troubleshooting with Vonage and the diagnosis was that the Linksys unit was defective. Two years is an unacceptable life span, as far as I'm concerned. By the way, the router portion of this unit has never shown any problems. | 0negative

Sony DVPCX995V 400 Disc DVD Mega Changer/Player
This Mega Changer/Player is everything that Sony says it is. My only gripe was my computer key board did not work with this one as it did with the Sony 300 disc Mega Changer so I had to use the remote to enter all my DVD's and CD's. That took a couple of days, but once that was done, this machine performed flawlessly. It is very simple to operate, the folder is easy to read, and no more DVD/CD racks on the wall. I would definately purchase this Sony again. | 1positive

The best camera case. Period.
Quit reading these reviews and just get the darn thing. You will not regret it.PROs:1. Sleek and trim. It's a perfect fit, with no unnecessary space between the camera and the holder. This means there's no room for holding an extra battery or memory cards. So carry the extra battery and memory card somewhere else. Big deal. It's a moot point for many of us, since a fully charged battery will almost always last an entire day, as will a 2GB memory card. (Exceptions for heaving shooting or flash use).2. Belt loop. Yes, it's tiny hassle having to undo one's belt to slip on the camera case. But, for those of us who don't carry a purse, it's a godsend. I frequently carry the SD800 in my front trouser pocket without the case. But when it's in the case, it won't fit comfortably in the pocket. Thanks for the belt loop.3. Magnet clasp! From the pictures, I thought it was a metal snap, but it's not. It is a magnet. The little button on the flap fits into the small corresponding hole, but it does not "snap" shut like a snap. It merely shuts securely via magnetic force. Opening and closing with one hand is . . . a snap. What's nice about the magnet is that even if the little metal button misses the hole, the magnetic force will still keep the flap shut.4. It Looks Great. The leather (or faux leather) has a nice matte-type sheen, similar to that of a Coach Handbag. The metal "Canon" emblem on the flap is elegantly done, even if it seems to scream out "Great camera inside; steal this." Nice touch.5. Canon Does Canon. I have bought cheap camera cases from third party makers (via eBay), and you get what you pay for. They're not bad cases, but this Canon one is just a notch above.5a. Matching Strap. This is a minor point, but the case includes a black leather strap to replace the silver nylon one that comes with the camera. The silver strap would look weird hanging out of a black leather case, so the new strap matches. Unfortunately, now you have a black leather strap on a silver camera. I suppose it works.CONs:A. A Little Too Snug. The tight fit is just a tad too tight, and you must remove the camera by grasping it with thumb and finger at the camera's edges. (Don't try to yank it out by the strap.) While removing the camera, your finger could accidentally depress the on/off switch (located on top near the shutter button) while the lens is still in the case. I haven't tried it, but I don't want to know what happens if you press the "on" button, and the lens motor tries to push the lens out, while the case is trying to hold it in.B. No Storage for extra battery or memory card. But see above re: most will not need this feature. | 1positive

Reasonable engineering, DRM gets in the way
In contrast to many reviewers, I actually like the UI. iRiver has also done a good job of adding new features to the latest firmwares -- there is a "language learn" feature, you can add lyrics to the music (you need to type them in and align them to the music yourself), and a slew of other neat features. The problem is that iRiver seems to care more about pleasing the record companies than its customers. It is the only MP3 player on the market that I have seen that will only allow you to transfer files from the computer to the player, rather than both ways. You cannot use it as a memorystick to transfer music files between two computers. It's retarded. Similarly, you cannot just mount it as a file system. You need to use iRiver's proprietary POS software to transfer files back and forth. Most MP3 players, you can just plug into any computer and go --- not here --- you've got to deal with driver and software installation and a whole slew of other issues like that.There is a firmware update that fixes some of these issues, but it takes away some of the other functionality.iRiver clearly has good engineers. Nevertheless, until iRiver begins engineering for it's customers rather than for the record companies, I'd avoid it. | 0negative

update issue
I did love my samsung DVD blue ray player till the other day I went to show my son in law the benefits. But it went to update internet TV and it got stuck on installing update. I have tried about 4 times to update and waiting a few hours without it completing installing. I have contact Samsung and still same issue. I can use it to watch DVD's, but no internet app. So I am looking to replace it and after two issue with Samsung products. I am looking into other brands for a better product. For I also owned an Samsung LCD TV that audio went out right after warranty expired and now I own Sharp Aquos Quattron LC-46LE821E which I love. | 0negative

I use a Toughbook and I do a lot of training. I have pictures, powerpoints, documents and more on mine. I liked it so much I bought the other colors and sizes. They are reliable and adorable.

Great Product
This is a great product. I have had mine for about 2 years now and it is still as precise and smooth as ever. It is easy to clean and maintain and is great for graphic design.The only thing I have to mention is that this mouse is for right-handed users only. I do not believe that Logitech has manufactured a lefty version of this great mouse. Too bad. | 1positive

Targus does not issue drivers for my Viewsonic v37
It worked OK for 2 months, but the KB kept on falling off. When I complained, I was told that the KB was not compatible with my Viewsonic v37. Yet, it was advertised as compatible with the VS PPC 2002. The worse came when I upgraded to PPC2003 and the KB stopped working. I contacted Targus and was told that they do not have plans for upgrading their KB drivers for this VS PPC.I do not believe that this should be permitted. If you sell something, stand behind it.Very disappointing. | 0negative

Data 2 Go
What an amazingly flexible little device. I removed the strap, so the 1/2 GB data atorage attaches to my keyring using the little metal loop. The drive is narrow enough that it easily plugs into the multi-port on my desk.I use it mostly to download large files where bandwidth is available, then install them on other machines where only dial-up is available. Also, when I'm working on a large document or Microsoft PowerPoint demo at work, I can bring it all home in my pocket rather than lugging a laptop.Should you own this? It's a pretty simple question if you'd like having the storage of 500 floppy disks on your keychain. It's available anytime, anywhere you need to save or retrieve all that data. | 1positive

Never Recognized WAN for Internet
I was not able to get this product to connect to my cable modem provider, RCN. Although the network worked internally, it never could receive a signal from outside my LAN. I spent four sessions on the phone with Tech Support from their third party vendor (Support Concept) and did not get it to work. The configuration was a one-way cable modem with Hybrid cable box. This experience was the opposite of that which I had for Linksys BEFSR41 4-way cable/DSL router which recognized the network immediately. | 0negative

They eventually snap right above the earpiece
I can't recommend these as they have a serious mechanical design flaw. After a few months my first pair snapped at the thin plastic where the headband connects to the earpiece. I sent them back to iLuv and they replaced them for free. The second pair broke just like the first. I was able to glue them back together but they just broke again. I'm now on my third pair, but this time I've glued some thick neoprene foam on the inside of the headband just above the earpieces so that it, not those thin plastic pieces, take the strain of the headband pushing inward. We'll see how long they last -- I don't hold out much hope.If they'd fix this flaw, it would be a reasonably nice product. There's some buzzing as others have noticed, but it's not too bad, and other than that the sound is pretty good. The freedom from wires is very handy. | 0negative

Love - Hate
I spent over $360 on a Monfrotto Carbon Fiber 190MF3 with a 804RC2 . When I was shopping, I also checked out the Carbon Fiber Velbon El Carmagne 530. The main problem with The El Carmagne tripod is that the head cannot be removed and it has no quick release plate to quickly mount my camera to the tripod. The height of the El Carmagne is also a problem as a substantial portion of the column must be raised above the intersection of the 3 legs to get it eye level . This will decrease the tripod steadiness. I thought after all my checking around I made the right move with by purchasing the Monfrotto 190MF3. It is a nice tripod. My friend bought a Davis & Sanford CarbonliteX10 for under $200 and it is just as good as my Monfrotto! This drove me nuts. I don't like the Davis and Sanford Carbonlite because I did not find in during my tripod search, or else I would of bought it and saved money!! | 0negative

Inexpensive ($30) and easy to install on my Dell Vista desktop. Worked fine for one week, then kept having problems detecting the signal from my wireless access point. Coughed up $69 and bought a Linksys wireless-G USB adapter which works almost problem free (at 54 Mbps speed). Guess you get what you pay for.... | 0negative

dead pixels
Within a month, I tried two kodaks, two canons(sd450). All 4 cameras have some sort of dead/hot/stuck pixels on LCD/senor. This is really ashame. Sure, you can argue that they are tiny and difficult to see. But clearly, it's a defect. Why am I paying good money and waste my time with all these defective products? I don't mind if a camera develop minor pixel issue after a year or so but NOT when is brand new. I suspect the increasing amount of pixel issue is because these camera companies try to cut corner by using low quality sensors. Or maybe these sensors manufacturing process is so tough that pixel issues are a must. Somehow, i doubt that. I am very disappointed. I am still happy with my 5 year old 3mp camera. (...) | 0negative

Not for your first or second grader
This cd set is useful for children learning the alphabet and numbers.There are a lot of tedious musical numbers for the child to sit through to earn a star. After getting all the stars you can print a certificate.This was somewhat amusing for my 3 year old but does not teach sounding out of letters or other important reading skills.If you want something to help your child really advance in 1st or 2nd grade this is not the software you want.If you want something to amuse a preschooler or kindergarten child, you may find this useful, especially if your child likes singing along. (My child does not).This is a 2 CD set. The second CD "Smiletown" is rather poor quality with these annoying "pokemon" type characters - younger children may find it interesting but not much educational value. | 0negative

Works Fine
After having to take a break in shooting a surf competition last Oct to recharge a battery... I debated getting a second battery. Although it was entirely my fault the battery died in the field. I had left the camera on the night before, and hadn't even thought to recharge the battery. For the price this is a great spare/back up. I used it this weekend when I knew I wanted a fresh battery for a ceremonial shoot. | 1positive

Excellent Digital Camera
I'm just an amateur photographer but in the past 25 years I've owned three 35mm SLR cameras and two auto-everything 35mm cameras. The Kodak DC290 is my first digital and it operates about the same as the auto-everything cameras. It can't do everything that an SLR and a gadget bag full of accessories can do and it doesn't have the "feel" of an SLR. But, it does 99% of what I want and produces beautiful photos. I've had mine for about four months and have taken almost 1000 photos with it. Last week I went to the USAF Museum and took over 300 photos, about 100 of them with it on a tripod using shutter speeds of 0.5 to 3.0 seconds. Fantastic quality. I bought an extra compact flash card (64M) and two extra sets of NiMH batteries and took along my old notebook PC. When the picture cards were full, I transferred the photos to the notebook PC using a PCMCIA adapter then erased the card. That worked fine and I have not had any problems transferring files to my home PC using the USB port either.When you consider that we were spending over $200 per year on film and developing anyway, going digital just made sense. I like the ergonomics of the camera and the menus are easy to use - just spend a few minutes with the manual. I was switching between a variety of modes at the museum to get the best photos possible and it wasn't that difficult. I haven't had this much fun since I bought my first SLR. Coworkers were amazed by an 8x10 portrait of my wife that I took with the DC290 and printed on photo quality paper. Kodak provides support through their web page including OS upgrades to the camera's software.Recommendations: Get a case and one or two extra sets of NiMH batteries. I haven't bought the AC adapter for it but I can see how it would be useful to some because it takes about 8 hours to recharge the batteries. The batteries will last longer if you use the viewfinder instead of the LCD. The LCD is essential for close up shots and the digital zoom only works with the LCD. A large compact flash card is a good idea if you intend to use the best quality at high resolution since the picture size in that format are usually around 500K. The graphics software that comes with the camera is OK but better programs are available for any serious photo editing you might want to do. | 1positive
