Great Idea - Lots Of Problems (consider carefully before buying)
I purchased the 301 in Febuary - It is now October and I am disgusted. From the very first day, heart rate monitor was very erratic (inspite of following all directions)heart rate will spike to beyond where I would be dead or sometimes totally dissapear during runs, for no apparrent reason. This unit is great for keeping general pace and distance of runs, however, it frequently says you are going too fast or too slow even when you are keeping a steady pace and this can be frustrating. The last problem, and gravest, is that as time has gone by it has gotten harder to connect and download the information - maybe moisture in the contacts? - I have talked to other Garmin owners and have heard similar complaints - this is a serious design flaw ! My unit is still under warranty - So I am HOPING that this company will honor its warranty. Anyway, If I was to do it all over again I would get a speed & distance monitor with foot pod technology (maybe from Polar) I have heard these are great. Forwarned is Forearmed and not Fore-Ripped off !
Freedom!
I bought the 301 from Amazon a few weeks ago, and it has worked flawlessly.Heart rate and distance both track quite well.
Exceeded Expectations
I was worried after reading the other reviews but didn't want to buy the more expensive models. As a result, I kept all the packing materials and documents when unpacking it (so that I can return it if it was as bad as the reviews made it out to be).

Close to perfection
To hold this iPod is to be amazed. It is almost lighter than air - any thinner and it would slip through your hands. It is truly remarkable that something so lightweight, so small can do so much. My less than perfect rating is for the screen size and lack of firewire support. As I creep into my late 30s, I simply cannot read text that small anymore, and playing solitaire on that screen really hurts my eyes. The definition & brightness in the screen are truly remarkable, however. I truly miss the firewire iPods. On a Mac, synching was just faster w/ the firewire models - and if I'm on an older Mac that has USB 1.0 and FireWire, I would prefer firewire, but am stuck using USB. *sigh*
So glad i didn't buy a first generation nano!
For Christmas, my dad is buying me an ipod nano. I have been doing alot of research on this little gadget. It appears to be as good as they say it is. i cant wait especially to get games on it, and personalize my settings menu. There is practically EVERYTHING on this ipod! From a calander to a stop watch, to a slide show for your photos to a really long battery life. ipod definetly created a winner.
Lives up to the hype
My friend has one of these fun little iPods. I am hoping to buy one with birthday money, and This is smaller and thinner than the average iPod Nano. Now, you can have 10X more songs. I'm so buying one of these to replace my crappy Creative MuVo N200 (which f***ing broke, by the way.)

Perfection Anywhere
I just bought myself a laptop for college and knew that tiny touchpad would just not do it for me. So I checked out the reviews here and decided on this Logitech wireless mouse; I don't think any product I've ever bought has so exceeded my expectations. It really does work 10 meters away, but by that point, you can't even see the screen!!! During downtime between classes I can even impress my classmates with how perfect I can control Unreal Tournament or CounterStrike wirelessly... pretty cool. Plug and play, a perfect weight with the batteries, wonderful scrolling, and the usb is small, cool and most importantly, unobtrusive. Before I type anymore, I'll use it to press "Submit"!:)
Awesome wireless mouse
I previously had purchased a different brand of wireless mouse, I can't
excellent cordless mouse for laptops
It is my first cordless mouse because I has been reluctant to get one due to worries about unstable connections and bad battery life of cordless mice. This one exceeded all my expectations.

To get from point A to point B, simply touch the screen to enter an address or select from nearly two million points of interest (POI).

The directions are displayed in TrueView 3-D format, with three convenient guidance screens, while the voice prompts help keep your eyes focused on the road when the traffic is heavy. Plus, the POIs aren't limited to just restaurants, hotels, and gas stations; they also include such locations as grocery stores, golf courses, museums, amusement parks, parking garages, ski resorts, and more.

Easy to use- great productbut one problem
Bright screen - fast lock in to staellite - very easy to use - great windshield mount.This is a great product with one exception.Once in a while the directions are insane.I have several cases of route differences but nothing of any real concern.99% of the time everything is OK.It is that 1-2% that really bother me.The route instructions are just not even close. Normal recomputing when I choose a route that varies slightly from the 360's route is accurate and fast.I dont know what would happen if I followed the 1% route that is just plain wrong - Once in a while you might find it is a good idea to trust you senses - I am normally very good at that but just be aware that it "can" be way off one in a great while
Good equipment, but unreliable features
I agree with all the good stuff listed against this product (model -360). I have been using this for about 6 months now (brought it for a $100 more).
Great unit, arguably useful.
I bought one of these to use on a short interstate roadtrip.It was nice to have, and helped me make sure I stayed on track.

Rebate Deception
The Dragon Naturally Speaking is a good product which works as advertised. One of the reasons I purchased the program from Amazon was that they were offering a rebate of $44. I downloaded the rebate form and did exactly as instructed. When Naturally Speaking Standard Edition arrived I noticed the UPC Code on the box looked different from the picture on the rebate form. However since I had ordered the program from Amazon and downloaded the accompanying rebate form, I thought, this company is honorable and will stand by their word. I was wrong. I got a notice saying that they were refusing my rebate application. I half-way expected this sort of ruse, but I was very disappointed by this deceptive process. I'm a faithful Amazon customer, but I'll never believe a rebate offer again.
Effort Saver!
I am a transcriptionist from home, and with two children (one of which just started school), I needed a way to cut down on the time it was taking me to transcribe.
Accurate, easy to learn, a life saver
I have tried the voice recognition software that comes with the Microsoft Office XP and after training it and giving it a run-through it just produced too many errors.So I had given up on the voice recognition for my computer a couple of years ago.

Good quality for voip, but a bit bulky
Good headset. Folds into a reasonable size, and adjusts well to fit head. Sound quality in the headphones is good and the microphone has good reception. I use this with a laptop for on-line, voip conference calls. It works very well and no one on the calls has mentioned any issues with the quality of the sound.
Not for Laptop Users
I got Avaya RoadWarrior up and running on my computer to use when I work remotely. My co-worker told me to get a GN Netcom headset but I figured I'd save some money and get this one. Big mistake.
Inadequate for Voice Recognition
It failed Dragon Naturally Speaking's sound tests, tests easily passed by the cheapo mike included with the program.And just try to return it.Antonline stonewalls, Plantronics doesn't respond at all.

Battery Charger
Great Item, will charge many different size batteries in a very short time. After searcing several web sites AGAIN found the best deal on Anazon!!
Works as promised
It charges in 1 hour. Durable construction.In fact, it is built better than the charger that originally came with the drill.So I bought two and mounted them to a piece of plywood that hands on the side of the work bench.that way, I can take it with me when I need to do work outside of my home.
Battery Charger
Black & Decker #PS1MVC Multi Charger works as advertised, it charges my 12 volt and my 9.6 batteries in 1 hour or less. I am very pleased with this product since I purchased it a month ago.

Decent at what it does...
This is no replacement for a good GPS that has the ability to give turn-by-turn directions.The layout is still clunky.The USB device still screws up if you don't plug it in at the right time, or forget to unplug it when you reboot.I'm sure that this is a glitch... The software is still very unable to re-route you when you go off course.You can hit F3 to force the software to re-draw the route from your current location.
