Card became unrecognizeable to my Nikon Coolpix
This card seemed like a good deal for the money. It served well enough for about a month in my Nikon Coolpix digicam, but it was always a bit touchy. The camera would do things like say "no card inserted" when coming back from a power-save "sleep" mode. I would have to turn in it off and on to get it to work again. It didn't lose any data, but would space out. After a month though, it became unrecognizeable to my camera. "Card not formatted" or something. It still works w/ my flash readers, but not with my camera. Dissatisfying to say the least. | 0negative

Beware the firmware upgrades.
I bought this player from Amazon a couple of months back and I've used it maybe a half a dozen times. I was going to play a new DVD the other night (From Hell) and when I went to play it, it said I couldn't unless I did a firmware upgrade. I downloaded the firmware to my PC, burned the ISO image to a CDRW and followed all the instructions to perform the upgrade. For some reason, it failed and corrupted everything so no I have nothing. The CD won't eject, the player won't boot and after calling Samsung level 1 and level 2 tech support they tell me there's nothing I can do other than send it back.Now I have to find a box, fill out the paperwork, send it back and go through all the hassle of getting it repaired not to mention that I now have to go through the holiday season without being able to enjoy a movie.This is the first Samsung product I've bought and at this rate, it will be the last. It's a real shame because on paper, this player looks good. | 0negative

Neat iPod-esque novelty
I just received this as a Christmas gift. The style is cool, as long as your into the Apple thing.I have WinXP SP2 and did not have any problems.1) Install the software first.2) Plug in the LCD.3) On the LCD it says "USB Charge" or "USB Update". I selected "USB Update". Then Windows detected it. (Windows beeps when it detects any new USB hardware.)4) Let Windows do its thing. It takes a few seconds for it to sort out the drivers.5) Run the "Photo Viewer" software.I was hoping to skip the extra software. It would have been nice to use Windows Explorer. Other than that, it's pretty cool. | 1positive

Comfortable earbuds at a great price
These earbuds are very comfortable. I tried them as soon as they arrived to replace the earbuds that came with my Sansa Clip and the fit and sound is so much better. I think the sound quality is very good and for the price you can't hardly beat it! I just ordered another set to have as a spare. Highly recommend. | 1positive

Product was exactly as ordered
These cartridges arrived promptly and were original OEM product. They installed correctly and work as they should. Yes, they are expensive but all HP products are. You get what you pay for. The price I paid was a good price and I would definitely purchase again from the same vendor. | 1positive

Great Firewall For A Beginner
This is a great firewall especially for the novice or non-technical person. I am quite experienced with setting these up and it can be a bit daunting for a beginner. The included CD does the setup automatically which I found annoying but is great for anyone who doesn't know what they're doing. The configuration was done on a Windows PC so I don't know how the automatic configuration works on a Mac. The modem was a Comcast telephone modem and the user was adding internet and the automatic configuration was not bothered by that. The only thing wrong is the wireless encryption is only 128-bit and not the more updated 256. The wireless works quite well with the router set up in the basement of the house you get an excellent signal on a Dell laptop running Vista. This was recommended to me as being a reliable router that would last a long time which is why I purchased it for the user. | 1positive

Learned my lesson
I won't ever buy a creative MP3 player again. I had a MuVo NX for just over a year and then it stopped working. I figured it had to something to do with the fact that it was made of two parts and I had dropped it a few times so I tried again, I bought the MuVo N200. Well after 2 months it's stopped working. I hit the power button, the LCD lights up a little but nothing else. The computer will not even recognize it when I plug it into the USB port any longer.Sound and operation was great till it just up and quit. Next time I buy an MP3 player I'm going to try to find one that is not disposable. | 0negative

Forget about it!!
I got this unit from my father who had it lying around his house brand new in a box in Nov 05. Sure enough, after 90 days use it stop working. I checked it out and found no power was going to the unit. I confirmed it with a repair place ( I had no warrenty) who said they could fix it. After reading these reviews, why bother! I'll just go out and buy a better unit next time!I have a cheap Cyberhouse Recorder that had problems till I bought a $10 computer fan which cooled off the unit and now it works flawless everytime. It has got to be a HEAT issue with these units (have you ever notice how hot they get???). | 0negative

Absolutely useless
In its defense, I must say that I still havent found a good FM transmitter for iPods, and this one is no exception.It's terrible. The reception on your car's radio to the signal this transmitter sends will be scratchy. And even when you do manage to place it so you get okay reception, the quality of the audio will be terrible.There is simply no comparison to using a tape to feed your iPod signal (or perhaps rewiring your car to accept an auxillary input). | 0negative

Poor Support, Watch out
I have purchased quite a few Axis products and have never had to use them for support. I recently went to upgrade the firmware and the firmware update bricked the camera. I went to Axis for support and they essentially were useless. Even though all indications were ok for the firmware upgrade the camera was no longer working (the camera worked 100% before).I contacted Axis for troubleshooting on the issue and they did not read the steps I went through before contacting them; i.e., they didn't bother to take the time to even read the trouble ticket before responding. Their response? reboot/reset to factory settings. I replied I had done that and they replied they could no longer assist me because I bought the camera too long ago.Well, Axis still supports the camera version on their website by issuing patches and firmware. However, apparently, if you use them, you use them at your own peril. They will provide zero support if anything goes wrong applying "their" firmware patch to fix bugs they initially had in their product.Axis makes a good camera, but if it breaks, count on just purchasing another one; and never, never apply any firmware or software upgrades if the camera is in working order. | 0negative

I wish Amazon had negative stars
I bought this hoping to upgrade to USB 2.0 and it hasn't work at all. I haven't been able to troubleshoot and thier website doesn't even support this product. It is supposed to come with a 3.5 disk that contains the driver but it wasn't included. Micro Inovations sucks. Be sure to check for support before you buy any product from them. Better yet don't buy anything from them and hopefully they will disappear. | 0negative

The worst PC ever seen
I bought the HP a1230n a month ago.I have to say that is the worst PC I ever used. It creat huge noise from the motherboard, not the harddrive. I disconneted the power cable of the harddrive, the noise was still there. HP's service is even worse. I sent my computer in twice and they sent me back without fixing the problem and the report said no problem found. What they did was running test, I think. No wonder, the diagnose software can't hear the noise!! I will never buy HP computer! | 0negative

This camera is by far the best sony camera on the whole market! All of its features work awesomely and i bought it here at Amazon. Just because the price is lower doesnt mean the product is cheap!

Husband loved them
My husband would ride his bike or mow the lawn and lose his signal before. Now he can ride and mow and always have a signal. He's not crazy about the ear buds sticking in his ear with no cushion but he likes the sound quality, volume control and of course being able to get and keep a signal. | 1positive

OK, but only for office applications
The mic works OK. It picked up my speech loud and clear...with a bit of static. As for the actual "phones" portion of it, they are only good for listening to LoFi stuff. Don't count on your mp3s, CDs, MDs, etc sounding ANY better than a record. I would suggest using this for speech-to-text, but that's it! Bottom line, get a desktop mic and a pair of Sony headphones if you want music and mic. Oh, and where is the return counter? | 0negative

Piece of Junk!
As with almost any hub this equipment was easily installed and used until about 15 days into use when it just quit...I don't expect simple hubs to just quit, so I had thrown the receipt and packing materials out. I have since purchased a 4 port belkin and a 4 port CyberPower hub and they are both working flawlessly. I opted for the two hubs because I wanted the reliability of the Belkin after the experience with the I/O gear garbage, but knew I needed something other than the Belkin to charge my iphone from the hub. | 0negative

great if first mp3 player, not for IPOD owners
I bought this as an inexpensive replacement for my daughter when her IPOD shuffle was stolen. Bad mistake. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice little mp3 player. The problem is that all of my daughter's music is under I-Tunes, which formats music that you legitimately own in such a way that you can only copy the music over to an IPOD. Anything that's not an IPOD will read the music as copywrited and will not play the music.If you're not using I-Tunes, buy this, you'll like it.If you already use I-Tunes, don't buy this. | 0negative

Digi-Cube
The Studio Light tent has been great. A lot of the light tents that I have seen are smaller and would not fit my needs. I love the size, the construction and the materials used. The instructions are very good but not excellent. The fold-up/snap-out feature is really terrific as it makes this cube portable and easy to store. | 1positive

Unbelievable
Can you believe it? I have had this just short of a month and it already does not function properly. I have been unable to turn it off and cannot do so after repeated attempts. I still have my receipt and am taking it to an apple store to see if either they can fix it or give me a new one. I hope they do because if they dont I will swear off apple and ipods forever. I thought these things were a bit sturdier and I have barely used mine and have treated it very carefully. Shoddy. | 0negative

Good for my spotting scope
I got this for my spotting scope - the tripod legs are collapsible so it's compact and there are several adjustment knobs to help position the scope. It feels very steady and seems to be good quality. No complaints. It comes with a second shoe you can put on a second item in case you want to quickly change devices. | 1positive

not as desribed
the description was for a 16ft belkin brand usb cable, I received a 15ft monoprice usb cable. I'm not going to mess around with returning a five dollar item, but seriously? the cable that they sent me can be had for $1.83 on monoprice.com, I ordered a Belkin cable because I know they are a high quality product. Blatant false advertising. | 0negative

Messy excess glue
This black-lacquer wooden laptop stand is more attractive in real life than it is in the photo, and it works well enough. The reason for the poor rating is that my unit was assembled with a great excess of glue, and when I opened the package I found a big gob of glue pooled up on one side of the the stand. I was able to wash away the pooled glue but it took a lot of time. I then left the unit to dry for a few weeks. When I started using it, however, the weight of the laptop caused yet more glue to ooze out of the stand's innards, which led to new rounds of washing and drying. I have kept the stand and am using it now as I type, but the enticing price (under $20 when I bought it) was hardly worth the trouble it has given me. | 0negative

A real beauty.. Highlly recomendded
It was really difficult to decide if It was really worth the 1 grand tag price for this lens, since there are viable options at half the price.Well, I couraged up, and made the order.. my only comment is WOW WOW WOW!!!!!This is an incredible lens!! I own a 18-200VR, a 35mm f.2, and a 18-70 ( All are DX) on a D70 (a D300 on the way, ordered in adorama since amazon isn't accepting more orders at the moment) , and this 12-24, quality wise, just blows out any of my previous lenses!! Color accuracy, saturation, clarity, sharpness and build construction are in the WOW category!!! real masterpieceI've had the 12-24 for a month now, and it remais glued to my camera!!! The 18-200 has been sitting on a lowepro bag waiting for action, but, quite simply, the 12-24 is such such a piece, that it won't be coming off the D70 for quite a while..I have not had the chance to try the Tokina, sigma and tamron equivalents, so I can't make a sustained comparison, however, I can tell you this: If you got the money and have ample use for an ultra wide, then go for the Nikon with eyes wide shut!! If not, then I'd go for the Tokina (Check out Ken Rockwell's comparison on this lenses, very helpfull)Is it worth it???? ABSOLUTELLY!!! | 1positive

Good range, bad firm ware and no updates.
This router is serviceable and has good range but the firmware corrupts the memory. This causes the configuration tables tobecome corrupted beyond the ability of the web interface tocorrect.For example this causes the port forwarding to stop working and the port forward menue to no longer show the configuration. I can not redo the forwarding because the web interface is confused and will not let me delete, edit or add port forward. If I have been unfortunate enough to save my configuration during this corruption then that too is corrupted. If I have a backup that isn't corrupted I can do a hard reset back to factory defaults, via a little button on the back and restore the backup. Most of the time the corruption is in the backup too and I have no choice but to reconfigure the router from scratch. This happens about every month.This router has very bad firmware, and no prospects of improvement. This router has wasted a lot of my time anda little money. | 0negative

Exceptional service, hit and miss product...
I consider myself a pretty tech minded guy, I know what I'm doing when I use a computer or listen to a music CD. I'm a pro-sumer, something of a connoisseur of the digital realm. Like many in my field then, I enjoy using high quality cables- it just makes sense when you're using expensive hardware. You can imagine my delight then, when I awoke to the sound of what I thought was the postman attempting to deliver my Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable. I first noticed something out of the ordinary was happening whilst walking down the stairs to answer the door and sign the delivery form. Despite the privacy glass surrounding my front door, I clearly made out that this was not my usual postman, but a large group of people bathed in seemingly pure white light. I gingerly opened the door and to my amazement was greeted by Jesus Christ himself and all twelve of his disciples. Naturally I assumed I had died in my sleep and Jesus had come to aid my ascension to heaven, however before I could ask Jesus to confirm this he and his disciples began to file into my house, sweeping me along in the confusion. The thirteen-strong group proceeded directly to the kitchen, whereupon Jesus picked up my washing up bowl and passed it around amongst his disciples. With a mixture of horror and fascination, I watched as each of the disciples pricked their thumbs and allowed a few drops of blood to fall into the bowl. Once the bowl had been passed amongst all the disciples, Christ placed it on the floor at his feet. I recoiled in fear as he pulled a large bread knife from the dishwasher, but rather than finish me off as I expected, Jesus slowly raised the knife and gently cut a single lock of hair from his head. Christ then soaked the lock of heavenly hair in the blood of the twelve disciples until it become saturated. Now swollen with holy blood, Jesus removed the hair from the bowl and produced two connectors from his pocket, which he promptly soldered to both ends of the dripping cable. Unfortunately when Christ went to actually plug in what was now clearly my Denon AKDL1 cable for me, it appeared I'd been sent a faulty model, so he said he'd ship out a new one for me next week for no extra charge, hence my conclusion: exceptional service, marred by the hit and miss results of top-of-the-line production processes. | 0negative

Another owner with a dead drive after a year
Luckly my original drive died before the warrenty. The second drive has started to give write errors. It will not complete writing a DVD. At least I got 2 years (1 for each drive) before having to go get another one.I will never buy another Sony optical drive again. They are overpriced and provide crappy performance. | 0negative

Amazingly good for this price range
First, I want to share my audio preferences in order to put the review into perspective. I'm a drummer and I don't generally go for a flat EQ. I like to hear both bass and treble very clearly. I'm extremely sensitive to distortion and have no tolerance for muddy sound reproduction. I'm using these as portable headphones with an MP3 player (creative zen). I listen to a lot of types of music: rock, blues, hip-hop, folk, jazz, classical, and choral. I'd been using the Sennheiser PX100s (which are great headphones), but I wanted something a bit better. These AKG K 81 DJ phones are fantastic. They cost twice as much as the PX 100s, but are definitely better. The AKGs have a lot of warmth and depth of sound, are very clear, and I really like the frequency distribution. The bass is certainly present, but they are not too bassy (unlike the smaller AKG K 26 P) and have a very nice balance of highs and lows.The only cons I can think of are that they are a little bigger than I'd like for portable headphones, but I can't give up the quality of sound so I'll just deal with that. Their fairly low impedance means they work fine with portable players, so I can still use them in that capacity.It is true that they might be a bit tight for a large head. I have a pretty small head so this is not an issue for me. I actually jog with them and they don't slip at all.They do seal noise in/out better than regular open headphones.For less than $100, I've not been able to find any better, and I've purchased quite a few headphones in the past year. | 1positive

It does not skip at all with rightfully encoded MP3s
When I first got the unit, I loved it when I played the first song on my MP3-CDRW, when it got to the second one, SKIPPING ALL THE WAY!... Then I noticed that it was always skipping at the same place, even though it did not skip when I played it in the computer. This was a song I downloaded from the internet, so I don't know what program was used to compress the song. So what I did was to reencode the song, turned it into a WAVE and then back into MP3, WOOHOO! NO MORE PROBLEMS!! So all of you who are having problems with some songs, that I am sure were not encoded by you, this is the fix. Now I get hundred of hours of great non-skip music. Also I have found that the unit starts playing CD-R faster than CD-RW, so if you are kind of annoyed by the 20 seconds or so that it takes for CD-RWs to start playing, try using CD-Rs... This unit is great and I recommended over any other unit out there right now! | 1positive

Great product, easy to use, and durable.
We bought this camera for our 3 year old birthday. He has had so much fun taking pictures of everything he loves. He can be creative with the fun frames. It seems to be durable. The only problem we've encountered is that if you take out the batteries, all of the pictures erase unless they are saved on a memory stick. (Which ours were just saved on the internal memory.) Also, it turns itself off when not in use, to save batteries. Overall, I give the camera 5 stars because of the easy big buttons for little ones, allows personal expression, durable product, and enables little ones to capture pictures of their favorite things mock adults but in a kid-friendly way! | 1positive

Old technology!

works great
The transdock micro worked perfectly for me from the beginning. The default station 88.5 fm worked well and there was a minimum of work to get it going. I am using my shuffle with the transdock. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because you need to remove it from the lighter socket when you turn off the auto. It is not recommended that you leave it in the socket. Also, it is recommended that you need to increase the volume on the ipod first before than using the volume knob on your car radio. | 1positive

An excellent product despite a few minor flaws
I have owned a Zen Micro for about a week and absolutely love it. I used to own a 20GB Zen before this and bought this 'cause my wife began to use my player. When i bought it, i did not have high expectations of it but now that i'm using it, i realize how its much better than my previous player. Why ?Size : The tiny size is perfect for just keeping it in your pocket whether you're listening to music or not. Anything bigger and you'll want to carry it around only when you plan to listen to music. This one, just have it on your person at all times. You won't even feel itUser interface : Using it is a joy. The touch pad interface is really cool and has just the right amount of senstivitySound Quality : The sound quality of this device is amazing. I have listened to the iPod in the Apple store (with their Bose headphones) and the sound of the Zen Micro is noticeably much better. I have a bunch of classical music in MP3 format that i never really appreciated before 'cause it sounded pretty flat in my previous MP3 player. Now i'm listening to it with a new-found enjoymentVolume : You can really crank this thing up. The volume increments are from 1 to 25 and 16 is pretty loud. Go figure...FM Radio : Its nice to have an FM radio in the player. I use it rarely but every once in a while when you want to hear the news or want to tune in to that TV program in your gym, this comes in handyRecording : The idea of being able to record FM radio is pretty cool. Also having a microphone in the player for you to record memos makes it much more useful. Haven't used this stuff but i'm glad its thereRemovable battery : Such a basic, necessary feature. Don't know why anyone would buy another product which forces them to pay big bucks after the battery stops holding charge like it used to in a year or two.Software : When it comes to installing software on my computer i'm a minimalist. So i was happy to learn that all i had to do for the Zen Micro, is install the USB driver and then when you connect it, i was able to use Windows Media Player 10 to transfer MP3s and view the files on my Micro. The Micro also has a feature where you can reserve some of the 5 GB space to show up as a removable drive when you plug it into a computer. That does not require any drivers. However that space cannot be used to play music.Now for the flaws (I found i can live with them without loving my player any less)FM Radio reception : Not so good. Will only catch stations with a strong signalBattery life : This one is tricky. Apparently you can drain your battery pretty quickly if you do some things wrong. For example if you shutdown the player without pausing the currently playing song, it saps a lot of battery. Also if you spend a lot of time fooling around in the menus (which you will the first few days you have your new toy), the battery will only last 3 hours. But once you get past the 'new toy' phase and remember to pause before shutdown you can get respectable life out of it - at least 7 hours. For iPod users maybe this is not a flaw, but my older 20GB Zen gives me at least 15 to 16 hours. | 1positive

Good keyboard
I have only used the keyboard for 2 days now and it is definitely more comfortable than a traditional keyboard. I have never used other ergonomic keyboards so I can't compare it with others but it definitely feels more natural. All the keys are quiet except for the space bar which feels a bit stiff and makes a louder noise; hopefully it will "break-in" and be quieter.I am using the keyboard with Linux (kernel: 2.6.31 distro: Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala). Everything except the zoom switch works out of the box without any extra software. I have not been able to get the zoom switch working. All the other custom keyboard buttons work great though, they can be customised under the keyboard shortcut options as well, which is cool. | 1positive

Good affordable small tripod
I needed a small tripod for my Nikon and was having trouble finding one that would support the camera - most small tripods seem to be built for point & shoot cameras. This one works very well and transports easily. Set up is very quick. Only drawback for me is that there is limited mobility as far as setting the camera angle. | 1positive

The Kids love them!!
These are awesome little things. My children are 6 and 9 yrs old and they love their MP3 player! They hold plenty of songs for the kids to enjoy, and if you have a memory card and a card reader with usb, you can copy them easily from your computer to the memory card, which is supplied with the shaker. Now the shaker, we haven't been able to get them to change songs by shaking, but they are easy for them to control volume and change to the next song. The ear phones are a little big for the smaller ears, so I got cheap headphones to go with them. I would definately recommend them for any child that loves music. | 1positive

BEWARE: THE PICTURE IS FALSE
This cord was NOT what I thought it was going to be. It did not come with an audio cable, it looks NOTHING like the picture at all. It is a single black cord that connects to S-Video and RCA Video port. It is a 4-plug S-Video instead of a 7. As of right now, I'm extremely dissatisfied. | 0negative

Nice Headphones - While they last!
I bought these headphones as a replacement to the standard Apple i-pod headphones. Pros: These headphones do a great job of isolating noise and provide a decent amount of clear sound. They are relatively comfortable if worn for two hours or less. Cons: I used these while working out, and the long cord became an extreme annoyance after a while. Also, the buds tend to slip out if they're not perfectly inserted in your ear. I tried the different sized earbuds, but in the end none fit perfectly. After long distance runs, all sizes eventually ended up falling out at some point during the run. The biggest frustration was that after about 3.5 months of owning the headphones, the left earphone ceased to function. This was truly annoying since it was just past the warranty period. I ended up having to purchase new headphones of a different brand and felt like I wasted my money. | 0negative

Word of caution
I gave one star mainly because the USB drive failed to function in less than a year after purchase. Also be aware that if you submit a case online (corsair website), they will replace it, but will NOT repair it.Update: I may have bad luck. This year the one that Corsair sent me broke down again. It simply didn't work. I brought me to data retrieval center; they couldn't retrieve data. Some company offered me about $1000 quote saying that there are too many bad sectors. I have used many thumb drives for the last ten years, and Corsair turned out to be the only one that broke down once and now twice. | 0negative

I was looking for a way to connect my old desktop to the internet in my kids room which has no outlets for DSL or Cable, and this is a perfect product.

Perfect for the Gym
These headphones don't have the most amazing sound (just average) and I personally prefer over the ear style headphones for home use. However, for the gym, especially the treadmill, bike and elliptical machines, these are much better than the over-the-ear ones I used to use. They are extremely lightweight, so I would be careful how you handle them so as not to crush, bend, or snap them. I do plan to be careful with them, not just throw them in a bag and forget about them. They were only ten bucks and the light weight is great for exercising. They stay in place securely while exercising and thus I'm very pleased with this purchase. I would recommend these for sports/active use especially. I also use them to watch movies on my laptop since they are so light weight and fit nicely in my ear (like ear buds). I usually have trouble finding headphones that are not too big even on the tightest setting (whose head is so big anyway?), I am a 5'3" woman and these fit great. Not sure if they work great for a large man's head, but they fit my boyfriend and I suspect they will fit most people--they are adjustable. Does the job! Glad I bought these.*Update: I really love these! They last about a year with constant, daily, rugged use and abuse. I have sat on them, stepped on them, crushed them accidentally, all fine. Finally after a year, the plug-end wasn't connecting properly anymore and causing weird sound issues and I had to toss them. I bought another pair right away and have been using them for many months. I tried other more expensive headphones and hated them. These are my all-purpose headphones now. Love 'em. :-) Even if they last a year with daily abuse, that's fine by me. | 1positive

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 3G NANO
Contrary to what the technical details of this product says, it IS NOT compatible with the 3RD GENERATION iPOD NANO. This website says it is, the Belkin site says it is, the BOX even says it is.But it is not.After opening the box and consulting the User Manuel (where is clearly lists that it is not compatible with 3G) I called Technical Support and was reaffirmed that 3rg Generation needs a different transmitter. | 0negative

super product
This battery works rally well and can compete with Panasonic's original battery that came with my DVX 100B. I had one before for about a year now and it works great and holds a good charge so I thought that I get me another. Dont hesitate to get this, forget the others, Lenmar rules. | 1positive

Hit and Miss
HDMI Cables arrived in clear plastic bags. Tied in 2 out of the three into an HDMI splitter from my xbox360 and ps3. Xbox's cable worked well, but the xbox got confused and I needed to manually set the video output (most likely because of the HDMI splitter). The PS3's video output was flashing, and there was static in the audio. Tried manually adjusting the output settings there to no avail. Swapped out the PS3's HDMI cable with a different cable from my purchase, and the problems went away.2 out of the 3 cables worked. I always thought that quality of the cable was of little to no concern as HDMI is digital - it either works or doesn't. I was wrong. You may want to spend a little more money on a more reputable cable. | 0negative

Good fuctioning, poor reliability, longevity--a fluke in the Averatec notebook lineup
When my mother bought her Averatec laptop for an online master's program, I was wary of this relatively new and untested brand, which was (and still is) unrated by the magazine Consumer Reports, an unbiased source for product reviews and ratings. However, she has had her computer for over a year now and has absolutely loved its small size (a 12" screen and about 4.5 lbs), long battery life (2-3) hours, and reliability (she has not had a single technical problem with it).With the success of this product purchase, my sister, who recently began college, needed a computer and chose a similar model to my mother's. This, too, proved to be a wise consumer purchase. My sister has not had a single problem with her computer, either, and loves all of the features and especially the size.Convinced by the success of these two purchases, I looked into Averatec's slightly larger and more expensive C3500 "tablet" PC. I bought one about a month ago at Circuit City for my own college endeavours--my first mistake. Considering the success of both my mom's and my sister's Averatec laptops, I opted not to buy the expensive extended warranty--my second mistake. The first model I took home worked for approximately 15 minutes--not even long enough to complete the Windows XP setup process (anyone who has a computer with XP is familiar with the tedious and long setup process). I immediately called technical support, who instructed me to return the computer to Circuit City and demand a replacement. I did so--my third mistake. I should have marched into the building and asked for a refund, and then bought the cheaper model ($200 cheaper, in fact) similar to my mom's and sister's. However, convinced the initial malfunctioning computer was a fluke, I asked for a replacement of the very same model. I took it home and set it up without any difficulties. This second model showed none of the malfunctioning behavior of the first unit until about a month later.The Averatec C3500 is amazing--when it works. Its tablet function is very fun and useful, as long as you don't use the machine for very long (it runs VERY HOT and will start to burn your lap after a half hour or so). It has relatively good features (a 60 gb hard drive, 512 mb of ram, a dvd/cd combo drive, a full size keyboard and standard touchpad (for when you're not using the stylus)). However, I only enjoyed these features for about a month. I came home one day to my boyfriend telling me my Averatec C3500, my $1000 machine, had spontaneously shut off on him and would not turn on again. Frustrated beyond belief, I once again called technical support, who, thankfully, agreed to repair the computer free of charge on my 1-year limited warranty. It is still at Averatec being repaired. I have not decided whether I should keep the damn thing when I get it back. I will likely try to sell it and buy a model like my mother's and sister's--what I should have done in the first place.Do not buy this computer unless you love chatting with tech support--you will do it a lot. Do not buy this computer unless you want a lemon that will spend more time in the shop than on your desk. Other Averatec products are very professional and well-priced for what you get. Buy one of them. Avoid this one like you would the plague. | 0negative

Not Loud Enough...
I tried these with my Creative Zen Sleek Photo MP3 player in a 3/4 JHC helmet and they do not get loud enuff to hear adequately standing in the driveway never mind on the road. The rated impedance seems low enough maybe the drivers are inefficient/lack sensitivity. I tried plugging them into the headphone output of my Yamaha YST 2.1 computer speakers and with the volume knob cranked up they do get loud and sound pretty good. Most portable devices probably will not have sufficient output to drive them properly for their intended use. | 0negative

Another Unreliable Unsupported Product
As others have commented, worked great for 6 months, then became unrecognizable by XP. Wouldn't work with ME on other machine. Files not recoverable. Guess will try another brand. USB drives handy, but keep a backup on hard drive or other disk somewhere else since with this model its just a gamble and a matter of time before you lose your data. | 0negative

Works great!!!
I did not want to mount my GPS permanently or mount it on my windshield, so I was looking for a different type device when I ran across this one.(Amazon has the best price) I travel for work and have used this device in different vehicles with different shaped dashes, so far it has not moved, even when I am making a sharp turn. I have the Garmin Nuvi 750 and it works great with it, no other accessories necessary.

Great Value Receiver!
If you need top performance - look elsewhere. If you want a reliable solid performer at a great price this is it! We have owned this for over 5 years and have had no problems. We run our computer music through this, our TV, and DVD player through this and everything always works perfectly! | 1positive

This rating does not apply for this product itself
There is no picture and specification for this product. I do not know if this product is a used workstation system or a piece of RAM. The product name sounds like a workstation system, but the price is close to other rams in the same search list. However, that price is reasonable for a used system which is selling in a store I stoped by one day. So it is confusing because there is no much information about this product. Sorry my rating is meant to the prodcut ad., not the product itself. | 0negative

Not enough power
This antenna did not give me the basic channels that I knew should be available. After swapping it with an amplified antenna, I received 10 more channels, more that expected. Take into consideration how far away you are from the antennas on the mountain in deciding what type of antenna you need. | 0negative

Not Intended for Use During Movement
Stupidly, I bought these for running without readings reviews. They did fit in my ears nicely but would be ripped off with the slightest tug while jogging. Also, the plastic on the cord rubbed off exposing the wires after only two months. The plastic used to encase the wires is too soft to stand up to movement. The sound is pretty good but only buy if you plan on remaining stationary. | 0negative

Very Comfortable
The bed is nice and soft and double thick. The auto pump is easy to use and works pretty well with new batteries. The vacuum drain does ok but when down to the base have to help it by rolling it at the end. Folding it isn't to hard and package size isn't to big so easy to store. Bed lines fit ok on it but get good one so they squeeze tight so they hang on. But for the money is a great buy I shopped around a lot target, walmart, dicks, Meijer, sears, kmart, ect. So very good buy if you want one for camping or a guest bed. | 1positive

Actively uncomfortable on my head
I bought these and the Sennheiser PMX60 Headphones at the same time for comparison. The sound was equivalent as far as I could tell, but the Sony headphones were really extremely uncomfortable in comparison. The Sennheisers only press slightly at the top of each ear, rather than making me feel like my head is in a vise. | 0negative

Great MP3 Player,
Samsung has made a fine digital audio player with the YP-K3. Its slim and sexy in black and looks very classy. The screen is pretty big and looks just fine. Audio quality is pretty decent but the included headphones are crap. I am probably going to buy a decent pair of Shure's to replace the ones that were included with the device. Also, when I tried to play music from the K3 over my car stereo I noticed it did not have a lot of driving power i.e. the audio was not loud even at high volumes. Transferring songs from Windows Media Player is a breeze and I never had to install the Samsung Media Studio. The only gripe I have about this player is the display interface. Now the touchscreen is great and all but the display seems to be lagging a bit when I am scrolling down the list of my albums. The animations that play when I am listening to music also seem to be a bit choppy. I hope they resolve that through a firmware update. Overall a great player, especially for people like me who want to buy anything but an iPod :) | 1positive

Poor reception and even poorer quality
I was very displeased with my Midland G-225 radios. I bought six G-225 radios so all of my hunting partners could stay in communication across a one square mile property. I chose Midland over Motorola brand radios because of the Midland's two watts of power compared to most Motorola two-way radios that are on one-half watt output. I assumed four times more power would increase communication distances. Was I ever wrong...We found in side by side tests of the Midland G-225 and several different versions of Motorola's 1/2 watt systems that the Motorolas were far superior in reception across hilly and wooded terrain. At times, the Midland's could not communicate across distances as short as 200 yards, if there was any intervening terrain, while the various Motorolas had no problem with these conditions.In addition, of the six G-225 units I purchased, two had major problems right out of the box, while two more went bad within three days of use. In my opinion, that is totally unacceptable quality. | 0negative

USB Turntable is Easy to Use
I've been looking for an easy way to convert my vinyl collection to digits, and this meets that need. It is lightweight, portable, and comes with easy to use software (if you read the rule book first!) It's not the prettiest thing but it does the job. Don't expect it to be as solid as the turntables of the past. It says it can also convert cassette tapes (cables included) but I haven't tried that yet.Ion iTTUSB Turntable with USB Record | 1positive

Good Remote
This remote works great for the car. I use this the the XM Onyx (XDNX1V1) satellite radio, which is simple, compared to my Delphi X2M. My only complaint was the seller (satelliteradio superstore) didn't send all of items I was supposed to receive. All I had was the remote. No instructions, battery, or belt clip. For $2.95, I guess it's no big deal. I had a battery, and it works. Very simple. | 1positive

Excellent noise isolation with good to very good sound
I purchased the ER-6i for in-helmet use on my motorcycle. The results were a mixed bag.Audio performance - the sound can best be described as very good but not excellent. When compared to my Stax Lambda Pro electrostatic headphones with SRM-007t energizer (using one ER-6i in one ear and one electrostatic headphone over the other ear and then alternating ears) the sense of clarity and "air" was missing, as was the bass crispness and control. THere was a sense of muddyness and high frequencies were definitely lacking. Comparitavely, the Stax was a 10 while the ER-6i was a 6. I did however, get less of the "in-the-head" feel to the sound with the Eytmotic earphones - I'm guessing that this has something to do with the Stax headphone sound being influenced by reflections off my ear when compared to an earphone that is positioned directly in the ear canal?Isolation - isolation from outside noise was outstanding. Sound from a nearby vacuum cleaner and three noisy kids playing was totally masked by the music and just audible when no music was being played. As an in-helmet earphone they were fantastic in this regard, with the sound of the bike and wind noise just being audible.Comfort - they took a bit of getting used to, especially the way that they completely seal the ear canal but I got used to them very quickly. If I had to choose on comfort alone though, I would prefer circum-aural headphones like the Stax over the in-ear types.While on the subject of comfort and motorcycles, they were not at all comfortable as in-helmet earphones. The driver behind the earplug sticks out of the ear quite far and tended to be squeezed against my ear by my helmet, causing great discomfort and making them essentially unusable for this purpose. This may not be an issue if you have an opening in your helmet next to your ear but the Schuberth helmet I use did not go well with them at all. I am going to try using the 2-flange eartip to see if this resolves the problem by making the overall length of the earphone slightly shorter.Value for money - at $89 I personally think that they are quite expensive and, although I have never used them, I am pretty sure that the Stax SRS-005 Electrostatic In-Ear System (regularly sold new on eBay for $250) or even the older and cheaper Stax SRM-001 Mk II will easily outperform them from an audio point of view. | 1positive

looks great, performs poorly
I bought this computer after having used two sonys one ibm and one compaq. By far, this is the lightest and best looking of them all. However, the performance is so poor, its slower than the sony I used two years ago. It takes about 3 mintues for the computer to load and another three minutes to shut down. This may not sound like much time, but considering that this computer is less than one week old with no new programs installed, its really slow. The speakers are not so great either. And with only two usb ports, I will have to buy an extension if I want to run a mouse, an external CD and a video camera simultaneously.Overall, its a good buy, considering its super low price. But if you mind the speed, or lack thereof, purchase something else. | 0negative

DEFECTIVE PRODUCT - ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE
In less that 3 weeks after I received this item it became defective by having only audio - no picture. I wrote them an e-mail using the address that was in the owner's manual. There was no response to my e-mail. There was no way that I was going to use the phone number listed in the manual and have to be on hold indefinately, all the while paying for the phone call myself.An e-mail to Amazon was returned in less than 24 hours saying they would give me a refund and pay for the postage to return it. My thanks to Amazon for standing behind their sales even when the manufacturer won't. | 0negative

The Best Bluetooth Mouse...
I bought this setup for my home computer because I love the small form factor of the keyboard. Little did I know that the mouse would rock my world. I had used this setup for my home PC for awhile, then one day I went on vacation, grabbed my laptop (with internal Bluetooth), snagged the MX1000 mouse, paired it with my laptop, and I had the greatest mobile mouse ever. This mouse holds one heck of a charge, it's got an on/off switch, and it's the most comfortable thing I've ever put my hands on! The best bluetooth mouse hands down.Surprisingly, Logitech doesn't make the Bluetooth version of the MX1000 mouse as a stand-alone product -- ya gotta buy this package. (The MX1000 mouse that you can buy separately uses RF.)And, oh yeah, the keyboard rocks! If you're in need of freeing up a little space, you'll love it.Sure it's expensive, but consider how much typing and mousing you do -- the same argument that's made for a quality bed can be made for a quality mouse/keyboard.One parting thought: I've had no problems with the drivers or software. And if you have Windows XP SP2, then you've already got native drivers for Bluetooth -- it should be a snap; pairing the mouse to my laptop took 15 seconds total.Enjoy if you decide to buy! | 1positive

not a toy
I have owned canon SLR's (Rebel back in 90's) and digital (G2 since 2000). This (D20) is not a toy. For simple point and click, you are better off with a cybershot, or whatever little gadget takes pictures, makes phone calls and fits in your purse.This is a camera that is used by the most serious amateur photographers (and several pros when on "leave" :-) ...) ..It offers unbelievable control and you will end up spending some serious money on lenses and filters before you get done. But, its all about whether you are into it to take pictures of the family, or whether you are into it to take pictures.The digital workflow it allows is remarkably easy. The amount of "diving saves" you can do to a picture that was not exactly well-taken is incredible. But prepare to learn new skills and spend some time. Like I mentioned, this is a weapon not a toy. | 1positive
