Philips AJ393517 Stereo CD Clock Radio Average Customer Review:  Electronics list price: $69.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The Philips AJ393517 stereo CD clock radio is loaded with features thatwill ease you into the beginnings and endings of your day. The dual alarm can beset for two different wake-up times, and you have the choice of waking up toyour favorite CD, radio station, or beeper melodies. No matter what yourpreference is, the gentle-wake feature will gradually increase the volume toensure a gentle and certain awakening. The minimum and maximum alarm volumecan be set to your requirements. In addition, when waking to CD, the silent CDalarm start wakes you to the sound of music instead of to the sound of the CDdrive searching for the right track. The track is already preselected and readyto play. Still need a few extra minutes of sleep before starting your day?Then press the repeat alarm, which switches the alarm off for nine minutes. The24-hour alarm reset eliminates the need to manually reset the alarm after eachuse by automatically resetting the alarm function for the same time on the nextday. The weekend sleeper function makes sure that either one or both alarmfunctions are switched off during the weekends. This clock radio has a self- powered backup. In case of an interruption in power, the clock will hold thecurrent time and the alarm settings for three minutes. With the sleep/slumberfeature, you can listen to music while falling asleep without the worry ofhaving to turn off the radio. This feature will play up to 90 minutes of musicand automatically shut off. ... Read more Features Reviews (11)
So when I got this home, I was thrilled.I love the weekend sleeper, the alarms which can be set completely independently (including two separate CD tracks), and the built-in self-recharging backup battery! I even love the CD failover, when it works - if there's no CD in the drive, the alarm kicks in instead.The problem is, sometimes the CD will spin up and fail to play.I don't know why, it just sits and spins for 2 hours and doesn't play.But the alarm doesn't kick in either.So as an alarm clock, it's been a complete failure on several occasions.Like this morning.That's why I'm looking for a new alarm clock/cd player today. Oh, and if you turn the volume more than 2/3 of the way up (it's a very loud player, very nice), the CD will skip.A lot.Why don't they take a cue from the portable CDs and build anti-skip in?I don't know.
In the end I bought a funky rooster alarm clock with a huge snooze button and a chinese accent. It's weird, but it works great. This one has been relegated to the garage. It's a good radio; it's a good CD player; it's a good clock; it even looks cool, but it' not a good alarm clock.

PalmOne VIIx Wireless Handheld Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $199.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review When the Palm VII was first released, it garnered a lot of geek chic, thanks to it being the first handheld to include an integrated wireless modem. With more and more wireless handheld devices and peripherals entering the market (such as the RIM Blackberry and the OmniSky Minstrel modem for the Palm V), is Palm's wireless entry still a viable alternative? Definitely (but with a caveat or two). The Palm VIIx handheld has had its memory bumped up to 8 MB (from only 2 MB in the original Palm VII), and it includes all the practical features we've come to expect from Palm--the easy-to-learn (and use) Palm OS, a sharp screen with contrast-variable backlighting, and infrared beaming of information. But it's the wireless connectivity--and the ease and quickness of installation and connection--that really makes the Palm VIIx shine. You'll first need to add the Palm VIIx's two AAA batteries, which are also used to charge the modem's internal, rechargeable ni-cad battery. It takes about 70 minutes to fully charge the device. But that'll give you time to play around with the other Palm apps or practice your Graffiti writing skills. Once charged, we simply flipped up the radio transceiver antenna (which also turns on the screen) and connected to the Palm.net network in seconds. Then we set up our account and chose a monthly service plan--which reminded us that wireless ease doesn't come cheap. These plans range from $9.99 for 50 KB of information downloaded (and $0.20 per additional KB) to $44.99 for unlimited usage. The Palm.net site estimates that 50 KB equals about 150 downloaded Palm screens of information--which isn't that much if you're doing a bit of online shopping or checking of sports scores. The other important factor to remember is that you won't be able to view the entire Internet. The Palm VII connects only to certain sites that offer Palm Query Applications (or PQAs), which send Web Clippings instead of HTML. These Web Clippings are specially configured minipages that minimize both display requirements (to fit on the Palm VII's screen) and bandwidth usage. Thus, while we weren't able to view the day's English Premier League scores on Soccernet, we could read headlines at ABC News, get driving directions with MapQuest, and check airline flight status using Travelocity. (The Palm VII comes with 22 Web Clippings, but you can download more from www.palm.net/apps--from Merriam-Webster's online dictionary to a Starbucks locator.) E-mail was a snap using the included iMessenger app and the Palm.net e-mail address that we set up. This account won't hook up with an existing POP account, but there are several good third-party apps on the market that you can install to grab e-mail from your regular accounts. Ultimately, the Palm VIIx--and persistent wireless connectivity--isn't for everyone because of its online limitations to proprietary Web Clippings. But with a lot still in its favor--the robust Palm OS organizer environment, hassle-free activation, quick connection to the wireless network, easy e-mailing, and good nationwide coverage (featuring about 260 major metropolitan areas)--the Palm VIIx handheld is still king of the wireless jungle. --Agen Schmitz ...

The good thing is the memory.8mb is a good amount of RAM for average PDA stuff, although I must say that 16mb is certainly better.But the fact that you can pick these units up for a song these days, and there is a healthy used market for them as others like me trade them in on up-market PDAs, there is no reason why for infrequent use, this isn't going to do the job. I'd pass on the Palm.NET option though.Although it is pretty decent to have it, its very expensive to keep and slow, slow, slow.Depending on the plan you get, you could be paying $... per month for high data volumes and with the availability of GPRS/GSM Internet through carriers like T-Mobile, Sprint, etc. it doesn't take long to justify spending more money on a current model Handspring Treo, etc.
This is also a good buy (with it's low price) for those of you who are thinking of purchasing the Palm Zire Handheld but want more features than it offers.The Palm VIIx is currently (as of 11/24/2002) priced about $10 cheaper than the Zire.It's only priced lower because it's a model from two years ago and Palm is pushing their newer versions. ...

Casio CD312SBBE CD-Cassette Boombox With AM/FM Radio (Blue) Average Customer Review: Electronics list price: $59.99 US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review The sleek, rounded corners, striking silver finish, and compact body ofthe Casio CD312SBWE boombox are just the beginning for this snappy little rig.The Casio CD312SBWE also sports a top-loading 24-track programmable CD player,front-loading cassette deck, and AM/FM radio. In our tests, we found that the cute little music maker works well either on thego when powered by 6 D cells or at home with the supplied AC cord. It's also gotone of the cleanest designs we've seen, with a symmetrical layout and clearlymarked functions. Our only gripe in this department concerns the minijack forheadphones, which is located on the back of the unit's. That said, this is a good-sounding boombox--with clear vocals, a respectabletreble, and a sonic presentation that's bigger than you might think. Radioreception is just average (the mono switch helps with hard-to-get stations), butthe CD player works quite well and is a snap to program. The cassette deck isfine for playback, but the lack of a tape counter and noise reduction of anykind makes all but the most casual recording a bit of a pain. There are also notone controls, but there is an electronic bass boost, which we recommend leavingon at all times; otherwise the sound is too thin. For the money, Casio's CD312SBWE manages to combine decent sound and basicfeatures in a sweet little package that's also fun and easy to use. --WayneGarcia Pros:

American Lighting 8350TC Silver and Blue Desk Lamp Average Customer Review:  Tools & Hardware US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Features Reviews (3)
The brass base and arm looks really nice with the blue glass and the height of the lamp is enough so that you have plenty of light even if your book isn't directly under it, this is an excellent buy. You won't be disappointed at all!!

Scrabble - Deluxe Turntable Edition Average Customer Review: Toy list price: $31.99 -- our price: $30.99 (price subject to change: see help) US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France Editorial Review It's still hard to get a triple word score, the tiles are still made of wood, there's only one "X" in the whole box, and family feuds are increasing exponentially. But after 50 years, Scrabble has had a face-lift: a swivel base allows the board to turn so players don't have to work upside down, a plastic grid helps keep tiles in line, and a handy bag stores the letters when they're not in use. The premise hasn't changed at all--two to four players battle it out to make high-scoring words from seven little letters--so choose a dictionary before play begins to avoid ugly confrontations. --Lynne Sampson ...
