Use and Discard - Disposable product!
Initial impression was good product. Now I wish there were an option to give 0 stars. It died just after before end of 90 days of warranty after normal usage (lasted for around 10 movie views). Shows "No Disk" error. Customer service says that after 90 days it is all your problem and recommend to buy a new one! Sorry no more Coby products. Buy a product with 1 year warranty from a better brand.

Returned Two
I had to return two faulty DVD players. One would freeze frame the picture and the audio would keep on playing.The replacement DVD player kept saying "Wrong Disc" and was very very loud when it would actually play a disc.I ended up having to search and find a different DVD player all together because they wouldn't replace the 2nd faulty product.(Which was packaged inappropriately and possibly damaged in shipment).

Good While it Lasted
This player worked pretty well for 8 months and I used it a lot.I was a little annoyed by the humm it made while playing a movie.My husband says I am too sensitive to noise and calls me "bat ears" though so maybe it wouldn't bother most people.The real problem is the one mentioned by others:it konked out after 8 months and started giving me the "no disk" and "wrong disk" messages.We bought the extended warranty and NEW sent us a check for $119 without any hassle.But now I have to buy a new one and have been without it for 3 weeks already.Why can't someone make one of these things that will last? ...

DOA G-Wireless
Used this card to replace a Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter that had start to act up on me. I was going to install a 5 port USB PCI hub so I figured, "Why not ditch the corded adapter while I'm cracking the case?".
Excellent with XP
This item works excellent with XP, you get an excellent signal with excellent software.The ugly antenna the person before is talking about is a 5 db antenna, while other manufactors only give you a cheap 2 db antenna.That is why the reception on this item is so good.Also who cares about the antenna, when it is behind the computer and you cant see it, but you can see the excellent reception.You are not buying it for looks, but for the performance.The software does not work with 98, even though the ratings says it does.

Easy, quick and powerful
This is one very powerful and easy piece of equipment that you should be able to have up and running in under 10 minutes. I installed it on a relatively new (6 months old) Dell XP desktop. Like they say in the instructions, load the CD BEFORE you try to install the card. Follow the instuctions on the screen and you should be all set. I have an ATT 2WIRE wireless DSL router with an Apple Airport attached for increased range. This card detected both of the wireless routers and asked which one I would like to link up to. Since I was closer to the Airport I chose that one, clicked on it, and I was up and running in seconds. I don't really download a lot of big video files, but what I do download seems to open as quick, if not quicker, than when I was hardwired to the router. Web pages open as quickly also.Sure I installed it on a desktop that isn't going anywhere, but hey - one less wire under my feet.... Now if I could just get my stupid Dell to find and share my printer with my Mac...but that's another story. ... Read more

Sweet LITTLE Camera
I bought this camera primarily for its ability to take raw images and for its sort-of-manual exposure settings. I'm into taking HDR images (google HDR) and they require several images over a wide exposure (6 - 8+ EV). This camera works fine in both areas, plus it takes w i d e 28mm photos in w i d e aspect ratio so it is what I was looking for. HDR images sum the noise from several photos so they are by nature noisy. I use NEAT IMAGE to clean them up. This is a very nice $500-ish camera. There are better point-and-shoot cameras at that price point but I could find none other that met my own needs.
MY FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA!!!!
THIS CAM IS AMAZING!!!!All I can say is Leica Lens ... I had taken the specs to a local camera shop and tried to see what they had to compare ... all he showed me was Leica's at around 8 Megapixel (and they can't even do the high def video!)... so I was like - well guess I am getting this Panasonic then!
Still Needs Work
Reading the reviews of the LX1, I desperately hoped that this one would fix the noise issue. Well, when I got it, it was already past sunset, so it was a great time to test it. I took a few pictures of my computer screen inside a dark room. I took them auto mode using 10, 8, 5, and 2 MP to see how big the file sizes were using standard JPEG compression, and then at 10 MP again using maximum compression.

With a complete set of high performance features and expandable functionality, the Uniden TRU9485 offers a full set of convenient options for busy homes. This set includes three handsets; the system is expandable to a total of ten but only requires a single phone jack. Call Waiting Caller ID includes a 100-station memory (with subscription to local service) that allows names and numbers to be transferred between handsets or moved into the permanent speed dial. DirectLink two-way radio communication is built into each handset, allowing them to function as an in-home intercom system or baby monitor. Redial any of the last three dialed numbers at the touch of a button, activate three-way calls or just enjoy the consistent, clear 5.8 GHz digital signal transmission. You can transfer incoming calls between the handset and base, and make use of the convenient hands-free design by using the included belt clip and built-in headset jack (headsets available separately). Easily adjust handset and ringer volume levels to your comfort, and set the handset LCD menu to one of three menu languages (English, French, or Spanish). A page button lets you quickly locate a handset if it's strayed under the couch cushions. A digital answering system with 15 minutes of message time is built into the base; call screening and recording are available from the handset as well. The base is wall mountable or sits sturdily on a countertop, giving you plenty of display options, and a total of 20 different ring tones (10 tones, 10 melodies) give you a variety of choices.

Superb, extensible 5.8 GHz cordless phone system
The introduction of 2.4GHz-based 802.11b/g wireless computer networks will spell the end of many 2.4GHz-based cordless phone systems. Though one can continue to use the phones, the interference they cause with wireless computer networks is a nagging problem. The solution is to either upgrade your cordless phones or your wireless computer network to 5.8GHz. For most, upgrading the phone will be simpler and cheaper than upgrading the network.

A few years ago, when personal GPSs first became available, every geek from here to Poughkeepsie was enthralled about the possibility of always knowing exactly where on the planet he or she was.

A great device, for sure!
I am a new geocacher and this device is perfect.Even children can easily understand and operate this device.It is accurate to 10-15 feet of the cache in the city.It is dead on when there is little or no interference (West Virginia).I've even dropped it a couple of times and it still works like a charm.It is highly recommended in the forums of geocaching sites as well!A great device for the price.

I love this thing!
I just got mine and I'm extremely impressed with it. It's very easy to use (hint - download the instructions from Garmin's website and read them while you're waiting for delivery - this one is newer and does more than those instructions say, but it works the same way and you will know how to use it before it gets there). It's accuracy is more than what I expected. I can mark a waypoint and it will guide me to within 10 feet of it, sometimes within 3 feet. This is far more than what I need but nice to have that level of accuracy (in WAAS mode). It doesn't have the features of more expensive units but it has everything I need, and everything you would need to get you unlost in the woods. It doesn't do maps but I didn't want that anyway. You can't beat this unit for the price.

Excellent GPS
I bought the Garmin ETREX gps (yellow)and am very happy with it. In fact I went back to Amazon and bought two more, one for the wife and one for our son. It does everything it says it will do and more. Also very pleased with Amazon and the ordering,and handling. I have started to buy all my products through Amazon whan available. ... Read more

A Great Cordless Phone System
This is the best phone I have ever had!The best part of this 5.4 GHz phone, other than the quality of voice without interruption through 2.4 GHz LAN network or microwave, is that it can mute ringer sound but you know you are recieving call by flushing light from the antenna.This is great if you have babies(no more awake by annoying ringer sound while they are taking a nap).All the necessary functions are included (answering machine, caller ID, storing telephone numbers, and etc.I highly recommend this phone.

Review of Cordless Phones with Answering Systems
I have been very happy with this phone system.It is so much better than what I had and it actually keeps a charge for a while.I only wish the answering machine would beep when you had a message because that is what I was used to before.Overall, this has been a great system so far.

Great initial setup and performance

Works Great for Me
Of course, I'm not a guru or anything.I got this so I could move my desktop away from where the cable came into the house, into another room entirely, without moving the cable.I already had a little wireless network so I could work with my laptop anywhere in the house, so all it looked like I needed was this gadget.And it WAS all I needed.Couldn't have been easier to set up. ...

great phone
I bought this to replace a horrible GE cordless phone system. Crystal clear reception, the people I talk to have no problems hearing me either. The only have two complaints I have is that the voice mail memory doesn't store enough digits to put my password in. However, the normal memory entried for my call directory does have enough. Strange, but no biggie. I love the ability to copy the memory over to the expansion sets I bought. However, the special rings for memory entries do not copy. Again, no big deal it would just be nice. Completely happy with this phone and I highly recommend it to others.

Excellent phone
Best phone I've ever had. Good clear signal everywhere in the house. Lots of nice features. Up to 100 memory locations for storing frequently called numbers (I only need 20). Programmable ringtones so you know who is calling as soon as you hear the ring.

BUZZ makes 2-line feature completely unusable
This phone has some really fantastic features. As a 1 line phone I highly recommend it. If you add the 2nd line, you CANNOT use both lines. As soon as the 2nd call comes in, the 1st call line is filled with loud buzz and the caller is inaudible.

Solved my RSI issues I was very reluctant to try a ball instead of a mouse, but my IH ergonomist said she would stop nagging me if I tried this for a week and if I did not like it she'd switch me back. After two days I told her she was not getting the Trackman Wheel back. That was five years ago and since then I have insisted on these on my computers at work and bought them for my computers at home, all told I've acquired about six of these little guys. I love them.

Prior to ordering these headphones, I really didn't know too much about Sennheiser.I read some of the reviews on here and decided that I couldn't go wrong for my 20 bucks and I am NOT disappointed one bit!! Quality Sound and Comfort for a Bargain First off, these headphones are dirt cheap ($17...you can't even get crappy iPod earbuds for that price), and the sound is pretty darn good. They sounded nice right out of the box on my iPod mini, and after messing with the equalizer a bit, I've got these things sounding great. They are also really comfortable. I've been wearing them all day at work and I haven't had any discomfort at all. Balanced sound compared to HD202. I had used HD202 also from Sennheiser for more than 2 years before I bought this one. From the model numbers you probably guess that they are similar. Well they are both CLOSED type headphones with about the same size, but the sound is very different. HD202 is most valued for its GREAT bass, and yet HD201 has a more balanced sound. Read more 173.
