Early disappiontment
I decided to purchase the c330 based upon many positive reviews supposedly written by other satisfied customers.The unit did arrive from Amazon on schedule.The ease of operation and graphics are outstanding (I am electronically challenged) as others had mentioned.However, in test runs in our neighborhood, the unit twice attempted to route us on roads that have been closed for 10+ years.This, of course, would be a major problem in an unfamiliar area at night.Also, the local Applebee's was shown as being 0.5 mile from its actual location.We plan to take a trip of close to 1000 miles this week.If my opinion of the actual navigational value of the unit imporves, I will submit an amended review.
no-brainer!
This unit can be used by anyone in just a few minutes right out of the box.I was amazed!The detail of side roads, street names, and lists of businesses just amazed me.I was expecting abreviated mapping data, but no; the detail is great. Comfortable to use in 2 minutes.
Navigation is a breeze
This is the first GPS system that I have owned and I purchased it for the ease of use and simplicity.It lives up to the great reviews and has worked like a well-oiled machine since I got the unit.The points of intrest are a great asset with this GPS and the maps and voice prompts are easy and simple to use.It works right out of the box with all maps pre-loaded for the US and Canada.I would recommend this unit for anyone who is married and planning a driving trip.No arguing over directions, wrong turns or places to visit.Garmin takes care of it all even down to where we want to eat.This product is fantastic!

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.

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.

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.

BACKORDERED UNTIL DECEMBER!
Although this is as of this moment listed as in stock, I discovered after placing an order yesterday that they are in fact back-ordered. The estimated shipping date is December 22. So if you need one sooner, don't waste your time here!
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).
