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)

A little flimsy, but.....
Beware this is a very flimsy antenna.If you drop it, it will break.But otherwise, I still think this is the best antenna for the price on the market right now.If it were sturdier, I would give it a 5 rating.

Pretty good
This is a decent indoor antenna.Granted, I live approx. 12 miles from the main tower that transmits most of the HD channels for my area.My TV has a signal strength indicator and I get about a 60% signal strength with this antenna.That's with it sitting behind my TV on the stand.It might be better if I sat it higher.I agree with some reviewers here that it's a bit flimsy.I actually broke the solder joints on the plug trying to pull it out of the stand.Not the greatest construction, but for ~ $20, can't complain.Plus it was me that broke it.But it's easily fixed with some solder.I'd recommend it anyway.

I used it outside
I took this antenna apart and mounted it to my window ledge.it works great. ... Read more

Editorial Review

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)

ipod - be aware of problems and rude tech support
I baught a 30 GB ipod and facing a problem that when I play certain MP3 songs they play well without EQ settings (i.e. when EQ="off') but with EQ settings ON (i.e. EQ=acoustic) ipod reboots itself... so bad.. when I talked customer/tech. represetatives it was told to me that Apple only supports the data from iTunes (apple store) and my data may have problem... (although same data plays fine on other devices including other ipods of same type..Although they still claim on problem with data :(((
Pod Parade
It seems to me that more people are much more interested in downloading music off the internet, rather than purachasing it in the tradional record stores. With Apple's success of the Ipod, many companies have all tried to capture the success that they've brought out within the past sevral years. The previous main edition had a very good shelf life with a 20GB capacity. The edition not only was successful, but many thought it couldn't be done any better. Well, Apple has proved that they could top the MP3 success they've had before, in a all new Ipod. Is it ready for you?

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). ...

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.

awesome product/service
i got this ipod for my birthday , and if you like a lot of music, get it, if not get a smaller version ipod,the music videos are 1.99 on itunes, songs are .99c , and games are 4.99 , movies are more up towards 15/20 bucks, its such a good toy for everyone, i listen to it all the time in high school studyhall/homeroom ,also if your apple earbud headphones crap out (where one side plays the other one doesnt-thats what always happens to me) go to apple support site and they'll next-day DHL you a new set , only catch is you have to send the defective ones back(but the mailer is prepaid so its no charge to send it back), i have the nano , and the video and ive gone through 4 sets of headphones , thats how im impressed with the customer service. my ipod crapped out bc i listen to it 3 hrs a day daily and change songs/volume frequently so one day i got a sad ipod icon and the ipod froze up alot, it was on a sunday night(late) i logged on to apples support site,put it in a dhl dropbox on tuesday afternoon and by friday i had a BRAND NEW replacement ipod(they sent me a prepaid next-day box for dhl to ship it back) the only hassles of that is 1. you have to go to a dhl drop box to ship it , 2. a few days without music lmao, i hope this review shows you how good the ipod is / and what support force is behind it

The Suprise Price and Great Build Make This a Fantastic MP3 Player
Although there are no large differences between the last iPod with Video Playback (like there was with the Nano), Apple has done some improvements that should be to your liking. Apple suprised everybody by making the price $249, and greatly impacted Microsoft's future MP3 player's price point.
hello kiddies !!

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
