Good webcam...with severe support issues
The webcam works as advertised - with really crappy lighting, it still managed to show my face comfortably, and worked well with various messaging software. The bad - on my Windows XP machine, with not much software installed and generally well-maintained, the software failed to install the drivers properly. Twice. I called the tech support (paying long distance charges), and after 20 minutes of waiting, got through. It took twenty more minutes for the support rep to get all my information - 20, I kid you not. And after that, she did not even bother to try out anything on my computer. Her advice straightaway - try to install it in another machine, if it does not work, call us back so that we can authorize a replacement. How could you not even try do get it to work on my current machine after spending so much time to get all the information out of me, I asked? Sorry, that's the policy. And I have to call you back on long-distance, and then wait forever to the muzak and then hope that you might authorize a replacement, I asked. Yes, she replied curtly and hung up. I had wasted too much time to try to just give up right then, so I tried a manual install of the drivers. Luck decided to favor me, and after indicating XP to look for the drivers in C:\Program Files\Logitech\QuickCam10WebInstall, I was at last home. After the installation, it has worked like a charm, but you just have to pray that you never ever have to contact Logitech for their "support".

Great price - quality balance
I did not want to spend too much money on my first webcam as technology improves continuously and my needs/interests change rapidly.
Best I have owned
I have owned three other web cams. This is the best. It works first time, everytime.I call it "my little angel." I am ordering another for my daughter who lives 1000 miles away, So I can see her. Her webcam just doesn't hold a candle to this one. ... Read more

Good for the price
Really good audio and video. Don't like the buttons on the unit or the remote. They don't protrude enough. The unit seems made of the cheapest plastic on the market today. It does have advance to the next track buttons on the unit in addition to the remote, which I like. (I'm not a remote person and am mainly using this unit as a CD player)

Impressive Performance
The Sony DVPNS55P/S Single Disc DVD Player is an excellent unit. The picture quality does look slightly better than my other units. However, most impressive is that this unit plays DVDs with dubious looking scratched surfaces and the like flawlessly. I truly was impressed and I purchased one of these units for that reason. The price is very affordable as well.
Better choice than others, good value for the price ...
NOTE: This review is a copy&paste of my review for the previous generation SKU ... Sony DVPNS50P.

Awesome for gaming and sports!!!
Well I ordered this TV about a month ago and all I can say is that im so impressed that its hard to explain it. Watching football games in HD and playing video games in 1080i is just great. The speakers are kinda weak but who buys a TV for the speakers!! Its non-glossy screen is great at keeping down the glare and you cant even tell. I wish more TV companies would broadcast in widescreen so I could take better advantage of it but you cant have everything!!! This is an all around awesome TV with an even better amazon price!!!

Well designed with minor flaws...
I have a mostly Sony Audio/Video system. I can't help but compare my Samsung LCD TV to a Sony product. Very Pleased
Ordered the TV on October 2 - had it delivered on the 12th - could have had it delivered a day or so earlier, but I was golfing...Eagle service was excellent.I contacted them as soon as I saw on the Amazon tracking system that the TV was on its way to San Diego from Reno and set up the delivery. Eagle also sent me a letter which arrived on the day the set was delivered.The delivery guy was ontime, courteous and helpful.He gave me enough time to verify that the set was not damaged and would at least power up without serious screen problems.He took the packing box.When I got the set fully hooked up to the cable DVR box, it was apparent that the picture quality was substandard.I called Samsung and talked to a very knowledgeable CSR who finally was able to determine that my cable company was not delivering an HD signal.A call to Time Warner solved the problem...turns out that my DVR (which I had installed a couple of months earlier) was not set to pass through HD signals...a quick checking of a couple of boxes in the Motorola MOXI HDTV setup screen instantly brought in a crystal clear high definition picture.

not worth the money
Wish I had bought the panasonic model instead.There is nothing to write good about the picture other than it is about the same as a vhs video camera.Go with panasonic.

Amazon Rocks!!!I saved $370!!!
After an untold amount of research for my first camcorder, I visited Best Buy, Walmart, and Circuit City.The cheapest I could find this camcorder was for $799 (just the camcorder!!!).In-step Amazon...for $692 I got:

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.) ... Read more

Editorial Review

The advantages of digital voice recorders are numerous: superior sound, long recording times, and the convenience of built-in memory (much handier than hauling around several microcassettes). Enter the high-performance Olympus DS-2, which makes professional interviewing and dictation easy and efficient. With 64 MB of internal memory delivering up to 22 hours of total recording time in Long Play mode, the device is great for archiving long meetings or lectures, or for researching huge projects that require dozens of interviews. Users also have the choice of recording at several other speeds, including extreme high-quality modes that offer far less recording time (as little as one hour and five minutes) but much better audio resolution. The latter modes are more suitable for recording soft voices or when taking down complex song ideas--a process that's further assisted by the built-in stereo microphone designed to pick up all sides of a conversation with equal clarity.Read more

More on Intel Mac compatibility
Actually, the DSS Player software that comes with this recorder does work on the new Intel Macs to transfer software from the recorder to the computer via a USB connector using the "Import File" command on the file menu.It translates to a wma file automatically, but won't do the translation to mp3 on any Mac as far as I can tell.I too have discovered EasyWMA, which works fine to do the wma to mp3 translation.There's also an application called Switch that works, too.
Intel Mac Users Beware
The software that comes with the DS-2 (DSS Player) does not work on Intel Macs. They're working on a patch, but it's not expected to be out for a few months (it's late Sept 2006 now).
The Clarity is Outstanding
And you don't even have to use the highest setting (Stereo HQ)

Good camcorder if you are not serious about editing your footage
This camcorder does capture good video. But the main drawback is that it records in MPEG2 format (DVD quality). Initially its nice and easy to capture video and watch it on your computer by downloading the files using the USB 2.0 connection. It gives you instant gratification. But after capturing 4 or 5 hours of video, you will notice that your videos aren't so great as you expect it to be. Its not the fault with your camcorder. Its because all of us shoot extra footage, unwanted scenes, shakes, etc which we want to edit. You may want to add a title or two, add transitions, add backgroud music, combine your photos with the video, etc. Basically you may want to edit your footage. Its here when you find the major drawback of this camcorder. The MPEG2 quality video is not good for editing. The video quality is so compressed that you won't have sufficient bandwidth to edit the video.
Great Camera But Be Careful with Non-OEM Replacement Batteries
First of all great Camcorder.Quality is great even in low light.Transfer to my PC is easy and quick.Overall the best camcorder I've used.
I LOVE IT!!!!!
I searched for the best price on the web because I couldn't locate this camera locally.I ordered it from another company first and ran into a lot of trouble.It was a questionable company.Once I got my credit card straightened out with that company I came immediately to Amazon because I have bought so many other items from them.The camera is great.I'm so glad I can tape for so long without messing with changing the little discs every 30 minutes or so.The quality is great, too.It arrived on my birthday.What a great gift to myself.I LOVE IT! ...

Great phone.Great speakerphone.Talked for five hours on one handset.
I work at home, and attend lots of conference calls.I was on a conference call recently for five hours on one handset, and the battery meter only lost one bar (of three).(I used a headset the whole time, the handset was only a few inches from the base unit, and the whole thing is only two weeks old, so all of these may've contributed to the long talk time / low battery use.But regardless, that's pretty good.)
Best Cordless phone for the money!
I have had 5 other cordless phones over the years and this one is by far the best. I have not experienced any problems with interference (the range is excellent - even two floors down in the basement!), sound quality is very good, and the system is easy to use and expand (I have 4 extensions).
The best cordless phone I've ever owned ...
I normally am a "Review Lurker" - meaning I read them when I'm looking to purchase, but rarely if ever write them.So when began looking for a new cordless home phone, I started hitting the reviews.I've owned Uniden phones before, so maybe I was a little biased, but I've tried many other brands that various friends have owned and found them lacking.So, I finally settled on the Uniden TRU9485-2.Not only is this the best cordless phone I've ever owned, it's so good that I felt compelled to write a review.

OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player
I have mixed feelings about this product.Even though I still rated it with 5 stars simply because you got much more than what you pay for it at $200 from Amazon.
Great Player...Great for the Price
First of all, I did not buy on Amazon but wished I did. Amazon has it for same price but free shipping. I don't know if other brands would have looked better or worse. It works great, has the Faroudja chip, and is perfect until HD DVD's become more popular and cheaper. I will say that when you call OPPO the company is very eager to answer any questions you may have and I like the fact the company takes so much pride in their products that they are constantly updating them by listening to what owners of them have to say. Everyone complaigned early on the remote had a terrible layout. So, now it comes with a newer remote that has a better layout. What I guess I'm saying is try getting results like that with Samsung or Sony. You can download any future updates OPPO has on your computer, burn to a CD and load into your OPPO player and it's updated. I see HD DVD players are on sale for $369 (the Toshiba HA-1). I didn't go there because of many bad reviews(ex: slow startup time, etc...). It's first generation technology and already Toshiba is coming out with the HA-2 to replace it. Bad reviews for the OPPO are very few. Get this player and you won't be disappointed.
Great Player
I got this player about a week ago and have a sony 34in crt tv. This is the best picture I have seen on this tv yet.Great player only draw back is it takes a few minutes to load your dvd but other wise great features and playback.I recommend this player along with the starwars movies you will be blown away. ...

A great value
These speakers are terrific for the money.Sound good and look good.Highly recommended.

Best speakers for the Price
I got these a while back with my Compaq monitor and I've got to say they are pretty dang decent. Their high and mids are pretty decent---slightly below par with the Logitech X-530's and their lows are rather lacking(probably due to the lack of a subwoofer). However for the price they are great, especially if you're looking to save space or just replace your moms speakers etc. They are also incredibly tough--I've dropped mine several times on hardwood floors with no problem.
value for money, nice sound quality, good for laptop
bought these speakers for $9.99 with free shipping. good deal, nice speakers with bettter than expected sound quality, but these might not be for you if you are looking for bass/treble controls and very high quality sound from $10 speakers. ... Read more

Sweet Webcam
I've owned a few webcams and nothing compares to this one. Software installed without a hitch and camera was up and working in 15 minutes. Right light technology even works as stated. Takes such clear snapshots you wish you could take it with you as a digital camera. Very happy and Amazon shipped overnight.

Nice cam - software has issues
Like many folks out there, I just don't understand in this day and age, why can't multi-million dollar companies come out with a decent peoduct that actually works?I've used several other webcams, mostly all with the same results.Grainy picture, lousy lighting, slow response - the list goes on.Logitech started advertising this thing several months ago, and pushed back the release date for whatever reason.I really wanted to believe the hype and get a decent webcam.
