Editorial Review

In its own right, the Creative Zen Vision:M is a very capable digital audio player, video player, photo viewer, FM radio, and more. Indeed, one could go on and on about how it has the right specifications to make it a constant companion for entertainment on the go. The really big news about this device, though, is that it's the first device to boast complete compatibility with Amazon Unbox, the new digital video and music download service from Amazon.com.Read more

Excellent Product
The Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB MP3 and Video Player is an awesome product at a very affordable price. Being at the same price as the 30 GB iPod (here @ Amazon) it's quite challenging for some to choose among the two. After giving it a lot of thought I decided to go for this product since it has more features and its flaws (when compared to the iPod) are negligible.
Better than an iPod.
I love the Creative ZenVision:M 30 GB MP3 and Video Player.I have not owned an iPod, but from using friend's, I think the Creative player is much nicer to operate, and I like the features better.It's much easier to place media (pictures, videos, and music) onto the player exactly where you want it, and how you want it displayed on the player itself.
Great Product
Player works great have had no problems yet (only had it one day)

Forget thinking outside the box--now you can stop worrying about the box altogether. Coby's DVD-224 is about the size of a hardcover book, so whether you're ferrying the player between the kitchen and the bedroom or hooking it up for periodic use by the kids, the DVD-224's small size permits enjoyment of DVD programs and music CDs in just about any room you want. While not portable in the traditional sense--the unit has no screen and requires AC power--the DVD-224 is much easier to move around, set-up, and use than a traditional component DVD player.Read more

Features

• Slim, compact, easily moveable DVD player
• Plays DVD-Video (NTSC and PAL), MP3 CD, and JPEG image CD
• Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround sound through coaxial or optical digital-audio output (for use with compatible receiver/speakers)
• Offers universal (AC 110 to 220V) power supply; includes full-function remote control
• Measures 8.9 x 1.8 x 10.4 inches (W x H x D)

Idiot Proof!
Great product. Dead easy to install - less than 10 minutes start to finish.Works well and great range.
I found the winner
I have tired many routers and done lots of researches.WRT54GS is my finally choice.I selected WRT54GS because it meets all my criterias.
Not professional, but good for having at home.
This is a good router. I've been testing routers for a long time. I already had LinkSys, D-Link, Netgear, and again Linksys routers.

Disappointed
I purchased this flash card in June for my GPS memory. Loaded fine, but only lasted 3 months. Card lost all it's memory and was unable to take a new load. Very disappointed in the life of the card.

The card seems to be very high quality. I haven't had any problems so far. It holds about 600 pictures in the large format in my 3.2 megapixel camera. I would definitely recommend it.

What a nice little GPS
Well if you're like me and need a GPS to get you from point A to point B and not have it play MP3's and all that other garbage then this little unit is for you.I recieved it from Amazon next day and out of the box it was ready to go.I noticed how small it was but the screen is amazingly sharp, even in direct sunlight and easy to read.it's also light weight so the included suction cup holds it firmly in place, even over rough roads.
Simple Instructions Makes for Safer Driving
My experience with the Garmin StreetPilot c340 includes daytime and evening travels over unfamiliar high volume New Jersey and Pennsylvania streets and highways to the mountain roads of Virginia.It worked remarkably well in all situations.I confess being skeptical, but for over a 1000 miles the c340 kept me on track.I had a concern that any GPS navigation system might reduce my attention span to the real task of safe driving.I have reached the very opposite conclusion - the c340 permits the driver to concentrate on the immediate task of driving and not to be distracted by the innumerable signs and crossroads that confronts every driver traversing unfamiliar roads.A quick scan of the lower right hand corner displays the distance to the next turn that keeps the driver adequately informed of progress; then await the close-in verbal and visual instructions from "Jill" as she guides you through the next turn for virtually error free travels.It is a senior citizens "must-have" driving utensil.
like most people said - so easy to use
This is one of the item, I can really say to my wife "trust me from now on, honey".My wife didn't believe the car navigation from the beginning.This item is so easy to use, she finally convinced that I made a excelllent purchase (will, she didn't said that, but I can tell from her face).Now both of us are totally depended on this device when we travel outside of town.If you missed a turn, it automatically re-caculate the route.So, just relax and enjoy a good conversation in the car or enjoy the signorina (oops, scenery man, lady). ...

It's as easy as plug and play
We currently have the Linksys BEFSR41 4-port router/switch for our home network.It's been working great for about 4 years now, but we've now run out of ports.I did some research on the 8 port router/switch product from Linksys, but the reviews were mixed.The reviews were mixed for similar competing products also.So I took the route of getting the EZXS55W to expand our existing home network.I just plugged it into the network and it just worked out of the box.No configuration needed.It's also very tiny.I highly recommend the product.

WORKS WELL WITH MAC'S APPLE-TALK (for me)
Linksys tech support assured me that their were no limitations to this gizmos ability to route ethernet signals. Sure enough, I plugged it in and it's functioning exactly as I hoped. Our internet comes from a cable modem. From that I ran the cat-5 ethernet cable to the Airport Extreem which acts as a wireless router and it also has 1 out port for ethernet, which I connected the EZXS55W switch to. Off the switch I am running a printer (Laserwriter Pro 630) and a desk top G-4. I also have 3 wireless computers on the network and all are running OS-X. All can access the internet, I can print from any computer and fileshare between the whole lot. I couldn't ask for more!

Perfect for 2+ years under heavy use.
I have nothing to report, that is, the device has performed flawlessly in the 2+ years I have owned it.I subjected this thing to almost every scenario except Mac.Read on...

Does what its suppose to do
Yes its a dust magnet but I don't have to worry about dropping or scratching it when putting it down. I've been using these rubber skins since the 3rd gen Ipod. It doesnt add that much width to the player and it doesnt get in the way when going for the buttons (anymore than the rotary dial does). it fits nice and tight just add a piece of screen protector film and your set.
It helps, but it isn't the best
Will it help if the player falls to the ground?
Everything sticks to it
I bought this case because it was cheap but I haven't used it because dirt and cat hair just CLING to this case.The case doesn't even have a clip so it's pretty much useless.Yes it will protect your player, sort of but it bulks it up when you have to carry it in your pocket.I bought the DLO Action Jacket for the Sansa SanDisk e200 series which protects the screen and has a clip and armband.

Dont buy this
There are alot of things wrong with this MP3 player.
Perfect Gym Companion
This little player has a home in my gym bag.I searched for MP3 players for a couple of months before deciding on this one.I had several uses in mind for it, but primarily I wanted it for the gym.I figured I would also use it occassionally while bike riding, jogging and once in a while I'd listen to it while I'm flying or at the office.
ughhhhh! bad
Probaly the only great thing about this thing is that it fits in the shape of your grip, Otherwise it is bad. Negatives:the screen is hard to read, the ear phones are very uncomfortable, chep carriying case, takes too long to shut off, bad volume, some times when I'm going through the playlist and I stop on a song, and it starts in the middle of the song, bad radio connection. I'd rather have no mp3 player at all than have this!!!!!!!! If you buy this product BAD CHOICE!!! ... Read more

She gave. I took. We died inside!
I absolutely loved this DVD player. I actually had problems when I first got this unit (did not power up), brought it back to Circuit City, and they replaced it.
Been a Year
With No troubles what so ever exept for the kid's when they stick in more than one dvd in the player and the disk get's stuck that's when a Philip's screw driver comes in handy.
mixed feelings
Feature-wise, this is a great DVD player for the price.It has progressive scan, component video output, optical audio output and co-ax audio output.Normally I only find these features in high-end players.

WOW!
I just recently had a baby and we were using my husbands old Kodak DX4330 (3.1 mega pixels). After making prints we were not satisfied so we decided we needed a better but afforable camera. And after researching I found this to be the one. And I was right on! Great quality pictures! Easy to use! Awesome flip screen!! Just be sure to get a bigger memory card!

Excellent camera
I purchased this to replace the Canon A70 (another good camera) as I wanted more megapixels in order to take photos to be enlarged and have greater ability to crop.The camera is easy to use, has lots of useful "one-button" features such as for night shots, aperture priority and shutter priority.The camera can also be put in manual mode which permits manual settings and I've found to be very useful particularly for outdoor, backlit situations.
Great Camera for the price
I just got my Canon A630 digital camera two days ago.I have to say that it is a gorgeous looking camera.The only difference with the A640 is in the color and obviously in the number of pixels (this last one has 10).Everything else is exactly the same and it is 100 dollars less that the A640.

S2 or H1?
When selecting a camera, I was trying to decide between Canon S2 and Sony H1.Why did I select Canon?I just can't get used to Sony's user-inteface, whereas Canon's UI is just naturally intuitive.Since then I've used it on every trip I went on.True, you can't stuff this camera in your pocket, but that's the sacrifice for gorgeous pictures that it takes.I've had no problems with it whatsoever, and I've never regretted purchasing it.Everyone who sees the photos I take comments on how vivid and colourful they turn out - and I compliment Canon on making a camera that takes such good pictures.

Poor Optics or Poor Customer Service?
Love my camera, BUT....
I love my S2!!!
Have only been playing with this for a few days, and am not by any means a serious photographer, but wanted a digital that offered more features than my low-end cameras from other manufacturers. The Canon is heavier and bigger, reminding me in good ways of my most beloved older film cameras. It's really easy to get started. This camera writes to memory MUCH faster than my others, making it far more useful for taking candid shots and the like. It "feels" right in my hands, and the controls are conveniently located for me. Review and delete functions are easy and quick. I'm still on the original batteries. The zoom is great. I'm delighted! And I have to say, so far the manual has been understandable. With the number of features this camera has, I expect to be learning for a long time. I'm very happy so far. ... Read more

Outstanding Performance for the Cost
I have been waiting for a new digital camera for under $150 - that didn't seem cheap or a questionable off-brand.I've owned and used several models of digital cameras, largely HP and Kodak for the last decade.In this one I wanted a camera that would interface with several different computers without difficulty (which the HPs often would not) and that did not use an unusual storage media (which the Kodaks did).
Incredable pictures, amazingly easy!
For me, the mere idea of buying a camera petrified me. I am not at all savy on this sort of technology & I was extremely worried that I would not get a good quailty easy to use camera.
nice camera but a little slow
this camera was a gift and is completely fabuolous for a first camera. I feel like a whole new world of pictures is now opened to me. the picture quality is great. everything is above and beyond expectations. the only qualm I have is between pictures and other functions it is very slow. By that I mean it take's a while to load the next function you want to use ... Read more

Low quality
I didn't heed the warnings on the previous reviews and bought these DVDs anyway.The bad reviews were unfortunately accurate and these discs refuse to work in my NEC burner and only operate at 2x in my Powerbook's superdrive.
No more coasters!
We have tried many brands of blank DVD's over the years. It was always hit and miss burning them; even if they seemed to burn okay, playback was a challenge.
Low quality media
The grey top DVD-R media sold by TDK is manufactured by CMC magnetics (CMCMAG.AM3). The media quality is moderate to poor. It seems to burn fine at 8x but produces a lot of coasters at 12x and 16x. Some DVD players seem to have trouble reading the data. Really bad stuff coming from TDK. For better burn quality, buy Verbatim or Sony media. ... Read more

So cute! and works great!
What's cuter than having two mini-sized boom-boom speakers on your desk?Not only do they look great, but the sound is outstanding!I was really impressed with my old JBL speakers, but after listening to these I was blown away! It sounds just like a huge stereo system!I just got them so I can't review the life expectancy, but I promise you will love them.Especially since they're so cheap!
Greatest Speakers for Affordable Price
These speakers are great for laptop users or a regular computer.... the subwoofer is ammaazziinnggg if u want ur room to shake...it has a adjuster on the back so u could put it down if you want to... these speakers are excellent for their price.. quality is near perfect and it doesn't require software like other speakers..just plug it in the headphone plug in the back of ur laptop or computer and ur set...for 30 bucks this is a great find

Fantastic speaker set at a great price!
I've been shopping for computer speakers for a while and the selection in the stores was underwhelming and the prices were ridiculous. I've had great luck with my Logitech mikes and headphones for my desktop and laptop, so I thought I'd check out Logitech speakers. I read the reviews on here before I bought and figured almost 130 people couldn't be wrong, and the price was certainly right.

Lacks parts
While i hear all teh best about this camera my very first impression is that upon opening its its already missing Parts Mainly the stereo headset. if i cmpany cant get it correct at the plant than im not interested it.

A bit of a disappointment...
In the interest of full disclosure, this is my first webcam.Given that, I was mildly disappointed that the framerate was not the 30fps advertised (smooth motion, like watching TV or a video camcorder), but closer to 20fps (my system is better than the "recommended" system on the box).Acceptable, but not spectacular, especially at the price.

works so far.
I bought this unit to back up files from my wife's MAC and my own PC. So far so good. I don't bother with the software that comes with it, it's OK but not great. Works well enough just to drag and drop files here and there.
Saved My Backside
This will be short and simple. The Retrospect product bundled with the Drive saved my over 70G of priceless data and applications. When it was apparent that my existing drive was failing I purchased a new 250G internal drive (Western Digital) and asked the local well-regarded computer store to ghost the drive to the new one. Couldn't do it. Fortunately, I had used Retrospect to back up my stuff and the store tech was able to restore everything, all the data, programs and settings with Restrospect on the new drive. Buy this product! Use Retrospect. It might save your priceless music, pictures, financial data, etc. Happy day!

Easy to use
This drive does what it says it will do. It's easy to set up, and it's easy to configure. It's relatively fast, and it is quiet as well. The only complaint I have so far is that yes, the power supply does come out VERY easily. I brushed up against the cord, and it came unplugged from the drive. What I'm doing to combat this is putting the drive in a zero traffic area, and making sure the cord is out of sight. However, if you plan to move this drive at all, this might be too annoying for you. ... Read more

Please answer a question about this item!
It seems I can't find out if you can actually play back the fm recordings on the player, as the 1gb version review states you have to connect it to your PC to get them, which is not good at all, If I record from the radio, I want to be able to play it back on the clix! Also is this really easy to download music? Can you download from itunes?? (I already have music and a video purchased through them, I would like to put on this)
Absolutely incredible player.
The sound quality of the iRiver Clix beat my expectations by quite a large margin. And I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the 2.2 inch (320x240 pixel) display. I wasn't expecting a whole lot in the video department, but even here the Clix delivers smooth, good looking video - all things considered. While I'm not in love with WMP 11, managing multimedia content with it is pretty intuitive and simple. The player's interface is even simpler/more intuitive. With so many features and capabilities, it's easy to be intimidated by this bit of technology. But there's no reason to be. iRiver obviously invested some time (and money) ensuring ease-of-use. The entire package is very well executed. And for the price - it cannot be beat. I'd highly recommend it.

Unrealiable; Don't trust with important files.
I had this drive for a few months and one day it decides to stop working.Windows recoginizes it, but when I try to open it, Windows tells me to insert a disk in the drive.It appears the flash drive is dead with tons of imformation on it.Luckily I had the insight to back up the most important file earlier today, so all is not lost, but I don't even remember the other files I had on there.I have an earlier backup and hopefully I can recover most of my files.
Washable
This is a nice flash drive. It comes with security software already on it. The best part is that I accidently left it in my pocket and it went through Washer and Dryer. It survived and it still functions.

Great! but...
Awsome, reliable, one gig is plenty for most fields (not mine, grapics and animation D:)

Has anyone ever wondered...
why TI doesn't slap a high-res color LCD and large flash memory on these things? Maybe make them half the thickness and weight. What, would it cost an extra [...] for them? We have come quite a long way in the last 10 years... This technology is overpriced and stuck in the early 1990s.

A Practical Graphing Calculator
This calculator has all the functions you need for math up to Calculus and it doesn't have all sorts of unnecessary features. The major difference between this calculator and the regular TI-83 is this has more memory and it has the Applications button that can store programs useful for math classes.
It made a horrible class easier

Great GPS unit for the money
Rugged design, waterproof, compact, and with a great color screen.... what more could you ask for!
More accurate than your average husband/boyfriend (for the direction-challenged)!
Since it's portable and waterproof, it's prefect to take along on your biking or hiking trips. I tested my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSxon various excursions in the US and Europe -- and always loved it. I wish I had purchased my little friend long time ago.
unbeatable - with reservations
I've used the 60CSx for three months and carry it with me on all my hikes - mostly bushwhacks in deep, old-growth pacific northwest forests - often in deep canyons - and have never lost signal - (and I'm talking 200 foot trees and thousand foot deep, steep-walled canyons, too.) Accuracy suffers in such challenging terrain but seldom gets worse than +/- 100' and is usually in the 20' range. As previous reviewers have noted, the unit's standard base map is worthless so you will have to purchase another $100 worth of software to correct that problem. Unfortunately, and again as other reviewers have noted, there is a lot to be desired with the extra Garmin software but I've found it to be pretty good for my purposes on the trails and most city data is pretty accurate but there are some glaring mistakes and ommisions here and there.
