rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case for Dell Inspiron Mini Duo 3487FNT Convertible Laptop/Tabl

rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case for Dell Inspiron Mini Duo 3487FNT Convertible Laptop/Tablet Foggy NightI bought the case for my Dell Duo. My previous netbook took an unexpected drink from my waterbottle on the way to work. For this netbook, I wanted to take extra care of this netbook. I no longer take my waterbottle in the same bag I carry my netbook. But, I know the extra large bubbles on the inside of the case will keep my new netbook from getting damaged. The case is well built and the black and orange is very stylish. Goes well with my Marlin Blue Duo. Not much on storage but didn't buy this to haul a bunch of stuff, just my Duo. The zippered side pouch is helpful for keeping small items together. Very happy with this purchase.

Turcom 9" 8GB ANDROID 4.0 RK 2906 1.2GHZ /GPU MALI-400 CPU WITH 3D ACCELERATOR, DUAL CAMERA AND HDMI

Turcom 9' 8GB ANDROID 4.0 RK 2906 1.2GHZ /GPU MALI-400 CPU WITH 3D ACCELERATOR, DUAL CAMERA AND HDMI PORT
  • Access to the Internet wirelessly with high-speed networking support (Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g) and high-speed A10 1.5GHz Multi Core processor,
  • 9 inch LCD intuitive touchscreen with built-in front-facing camera and microphone

  • 1.3 mega pixel camera
  • Plays popular video, music, and photo formats. 3D Game can be supported by internal.3D accelerate of hardware

For quite some time now I've wanted an iPad, but considering that they cost 500+ dollars for the "Up to date" model, it's hard to find that kind of extra cash laying around in your budget:/... Anyway, I decided I would go shopping for a tablet PC that would be good enough to satisfy me until I have enough money saved up to get an iPad, and this tablet is just... "Truly Amazing!" I wanted it fast, so I requested the "One day shipping." and of course it came very quickly. I ordred it on Sunday the 19th, and it arrived Tuesday the 21st, it was $20 extra, but totally worth it. Anyway, it came packaged in a VERY nice box with ANDROID printed all over it. They even included a free screen protector! After I opened it up, it was fully charged and ready to go. And my first impression was that the tablet was absolutely stunning. It is fast, vibrant, up-to-date, and has surprisingly loud speakers! I cannot believe this device only cost me $100, and it does such wonderful things! It's equipted with Android 4.0.4, and is very speedy. It has a good weight to it, and it looks sturdy. I do have to say that RARELY it can slow down a little bit, but 95% of the time, it is very smooth and crisp. I will also say that the screen isn't MARVELOUS, but I would like to write a note to anyone scared of a "Cloudy Screen" ...Please, read EVERYTHING about the tablet before purchasing it. The screen resolution CLEARLY LISTS that it's 800X480 pixels, what did you expect, an iPad Retina Display? haha, It's $100 , it certainly will NOT be the best display you have ever seen, so don't scare people away by saying "Dull screen!" It honestly isn't that bad, it's just fine! Thank you(:

Anyway, this tablet is absolutely fantastic! It has a very fast processer, and when you watch movies and such on it, it's a very nice mini T.V.! I cannot get over how fantastic this buy was! I absolutely LOVE this tablet, I already have 10 apps, 150 songs, and 10 notes on it, and it runs VERY smoothly. It downloads apps and songs EVEN faster than my Galaxy phone! And my phone is very fast! The webcam isn't the greatest though, but it's okay and still get's the job done! After a full month of searching for a tablet to get... I thought this one was it, and for a hundred dollars, this thing is brilliant! GET THIS ONE! And plus, the screen is FINE! And VERY responsive! You will LOVE this tablet if you buy it! This ones a keeper! I really hope my review helped some of you "Tablet Searchers" out there. In all, this tablet is nicely sized at 7", very fast, very responsive, and... Just awesome! Deffinately get this one, you won't regret it!

(Ignore any negative comments about the "Cloudy Screen," because it's NOT cloudy. You can definitely see pixels on the screen, but nothing to complain about!)

-Thanks for veiwing!:D

I bought the AVS 4gb version of this tablet for 76 bucks and WOW! This is a very nice tablet. Do not let the price scare you off. This thing does everything i want it to. Very responsive screen and very nice video playback. Youtube seems to load and run faster than my home computer. Again i have the 4gb version but I would think the 8gb is much better. I added a 32GB flash card and loaded 1200 songs on it. The sound quality is amazing! The camera sucks so go buy yourself a good camera ;) I would recomend this pad. Its my first one and I have been using it for over a month with zero issues. Battery life is about 3-4 hours. All android games seem to work fine and i have not loaded one that does not work. Its so cool to have a nice hand held computer and learn to use android. I hope the US can come out with a good line of these. I would really like to buy USA made!

I got this tablet the same day my friend was over with her ipad. I wanted to do some comparisons between my tablet and her ipad:

1) Download Speed: My tablet was a little faster than her ipad.

2) Bootup & Shutdown Speed: The ipad was faster to bootup but the tablet was faster to shutdown

3) Internet Speed: The tablet was much faster than the ipad as far as pulling up websites. Oh, and yes we both were connected to my network.

Overall:

I am very pleased with my purchase.

The touchscreen is very nice. The size is perfect. My only complaint is the owners manual, not very technically infofmative.

Would like to purchase a TF/MINI SDCard but not sure what the max size this can take.

After countless hours of research, I decided on this tablet. I ordered 2 of the Tursion 7", 4.0 Android 8GB tablets. One for myself, and one for my 16 yr old daughter to use at school. I had originally started looking at Kindles. I like to read and thought those would be great, but after researching I discovered I could get a whole lot more for a whole lot less. Why get just an ereader when you can have that AND the apps AND the net? Exactly. The tablets arrived one day ahead of schedule, which was great. The manufacture packaging was simple, but secure. The actual shipping packaging, not so great. The box had a rip in it, and one side looked very similar to an accordion. Out of the box, this tablet is very sturdy. It doesn't have a generic feel to it at all. The buttons are nice, great screen, and an overall feel of a more expensive tablet. Friends have even commented on how they would like to have one after seeing how nice mine is. The tablet comes with a wall charger, USB plug, and a screen protector! That was a nice bonus! The manual however, is quite worthless. My advice on that is to just play with the tablet, I did and was able to figure everything out fairly quickly. I also ordered 2 Sandisk Mobile Ultra microSDHC 16GB cards for added storage. Both work amazing! I wasn't sure which card to order, given the SD vs SDHC, as not too many reviews were helpful on this & I am new to the tablet world. However, it says right on the card packaging "Ideal for Android smartphones and tablets", so I chose this one, and it works perfect! The tablet recognized the card right away. After plugging the tablet in to my home computer via the included USB, I was able to transfer photos & music with ease. Now, some of the reviews I read said they had trouble connecting to Wifi... Not the case for me. As soon as I turned the Wifi on, it recognized 4 different Wifi connections for my location, and I was sitting outside of a friend's house. One of those connections was hers. I typed in her password and I was connected, with a great signal too! I went to the Play Store, and made a new account, and downloaded SEVERAL apps. They all work great! Then I browsed the web, no trouble there either. Very responsive tablet. I bought a stylus pen to help with clicking on the small stuff as my fingertips seem just a tad too big for some stuff. Some of the other reviews also said that the screen was "cloudy", it's not. This isn't an Ipad, but it still has a great screen. Don't let a few bad reviews keep you from purchasing this tablet. The speakers are also pretty great, so I don't know why a few people were complaining about that either. I think some people just have to find something to complain about. My 16 yr old loves this tablet! She's a tech junkie, so if she's impressed, it's pretty great! I haven't had any lagging problems, or not responding issues either. Everything downloads just fine. Now, I've only had this tablet for 2 days, and no issues so far. I will update if anything should arise. But my overall opinion would be if you're looking for an inexpensive tablet with all the bells and whistles, this is the one. It does practically everything an Ipad does, and at a fraction of the cost. I give it 5 stars! It's pretty fantastic! Buy it, you'll love it!!

***Update*** After using this tablet for almost 2 weeks, I wanted to add that the Kindle app is FANTASTIC!! There are TONS of free Kindle books on Amazon too! The battery has around 3-4 hours of charge, not bad. There is only one disappointment so far, and it's not with the tablet... the official Netflix app for Android has been updated and the updated app doesn't work. It's not the tablet, it's the app. When the app is repaired, Netflix should work without a hitch. Everyone is having the same issue, but I really wanted to stress that it's not the tablet. Crackle works just fine. I have watched full movies on the tablet through Crackle without any problems. Hope that helps!

Great product and super cheap for what you get. Basically a full featured iPad at 1/5 the price. No notable flaws; allows me to read books on the go, listen to music and browse the internet at high speeds. The screen resolution isn't the greatest but it's well worth the money. The googleplay app store is fantastic and allows seamless installation of free apps. I would recommend this to someone who wants a kindle that also plays media and apps.

It's actually a pretty universal case, but it fit his GPS (etrex 20) extremely well. The belt clip is nice, I think it will be great for hiking and other activities as it has a nifty locking mechanism that keeps it pretty secure.

USB2.0 Memory Card Reader Writer for MicroSD Micro SD T-Flash TF Card

USB2.0 Memory Card Reader Writer for MicroSD Micro SD T-Flash TF CardOnly lasted me a few day and fully broke. All the material it is made of is really fragile and brakes one by one until the whole thing is non-functional. Only useful if for temporary use or maybe rare use, not for carrying with you on key-chain. Item is VERY FRAGILE and of made of less than acceptable material.

It works as intended, but first you have to put it in without an SD card to install. Then it works just fine.

Brought this to read/write Micro SD cards to quickly transfer large files from my PC to phone and Android tablet. Never worked from day one. Very disappointed. It is also cheaply made and the whole unit came apart when I pulled on one end to get my Micro SD card out. The whole thing was under two dollars so not worth the effort to try to return it. Threw it in the trash. Very disappointed.

I had trouble getting it to work when I first tried it on my laptop with Windows XP. But that was more my fault. I needed to push the micro SD card all the way into the reader.

Also as others have said. You need to plug in the device first. No software is needed. Any XP or newer Operating System will recognize it as a Flash Drive. Then insert the micro SD card firmly into the reader and your good to go.

In closing, it's hard to complain about a $1 product. The cheap price makes it worth any small problems that may arise. I'd recommend buying more than one, so that even if it does quit after several weeks or months, your have a backup ready to use.

Tripp Lite B130-101A VGA Over Cat5e Cat5 with Audio Extender, Up to 500ft

Tripp Lite B130-101A VGA Over Cat5e Cat5 with Audio Extender, Up to 500ft
  • Perfect for digital signage applications in retail locations, schools, churches and more
  • Extends a 1920 x 1440 (60Hz) Video and Stereo Audio signal up to 500 ft., or a 1024 x 768 (60Hz) Video and Stereo Audio signal up to 1,000 ft., when using 24Awg, Solid Wire Cat5e/6 cable
  • For optimal image quality between 500 and 1,000 ft., use Zero-Skew cable, such as Tripp Lite P524-01K
  • The remote (Receiver) unit features built-in Equalization and Gain controls to adjust the video image
  • 1 year limited warranty, TAA compliant

The product does what it advertises and does it pretty well. No special drivers. I installed this product in 4 conference rooms to 42" 1080p Monitors wall mounted across the room from the source computer. In each situation, running new VGA cables would have been very difficult and not practical. One room required a mirrored display on two monitors.

I used the existing Network wiring and connected the signal from the outlet closest to the computer to the outlet closest to the monitor using the patch panel in the Server Room, so in some cases I was sending the signal from one end of the building to the other in order to get across the room.

At a distance of 80 to 100 Cat5 cable feet, the picture was perfect. At 150 to 200 cable feet, the picture was near perfect with small adjustment to the Gain and EQ on the receiving unit.

No drivers are required, just adjust the video properties as you would with any computer monitor. Both the sending and receiving unit require an electrical outlet. I tested it with several laptops, even some older ones with limited video resolution. All worked.

One sending unit failed after a few days, and Tripp Lite's warranty replacement department exceeded my expectations. I've seen the same item with a different brand name, I imagine it would work the same, but I would go with Tripp Lite based on their excellent customer service.

Buy Tripp Lite B130-101A VGA Over Cat5e Cat5 with Audio Extender, Up to 500ft Now

I purchased this product to replace a 25' VGA cable that links my desktop monitor to my computer rack across the room. I'm using an IOGear MiniView Ultra+ 8-port KVM switch hooked up with (currently) 5 computers. The computers are a mix of laptops, desktop towers and server towers. My monitor is a Dell 2450fpw 24" widescreen monitor with a 1920x1200 native resolution. This setup has been in place for about three years, with no significant issues until I recently upgraded several of the laptops with new ones.

Turns out the new graphics cards (both Nvidia and ATI) do not put out a strong enough signal to allow my monitor to display its full resolution. I'm unable to get past about 1650x1080. This prompted my search for a better solution, and the TrippLite unit seemed to fit my requirements, as it advertises support for 1920x1200.

Setup:

Hooking it up was straightforward. I used a brand new 25' Cat6 cable and regular VGA cables to hook the local and remote units up to my monitor and KVM. The power supplies use nice screw-on connectors, which is a plus.

Result:

The laptop that was able to drive the monitor through the old VGA cable was also successful with the TrippLite unit after I tweaked the gain and EQ settings on the remote unit.

The newer laptops actually performed worse than before, topping out at 1280x1024.

Debugging the problem uncovered the fact that the TrippLite unit does not support the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) interface, which allows the graphics card to query the monitor to discover its optimum resolution. Considerable manual tweaking of settings did not provide a usable signal.

Conclusion:

The three stars I gave the unit reflect my feeling that, while in most cases this will be a fine unit, it just does not do what I purchased it to do based on the advertised specs.

If you want to use this unit to drive an external display such as an HD TV, you're going to love it. If you're looking for an integrated setup with a high definition computer monitor, you're going to be disappointed.

This unit is going back to Amazon.

We originally purchased the Atlona AT-VGA180ASR VGA over CAT5 w/Audio adapter to put a computer screen 50 feet away in our lab from the server closet. It failed immediately and was a jumble of cable.

Running 1080p from a kvm @ 120' local monitor 22" 1080p and remote is 32" TV 1080p

As others, little adjustment to the "EQ" and picture perfect.

Picture looks like it does on local monitor with or without this unit.

Running off FC15 console (linux), Windows 7 1280x1024 ( mostly desktop etc), windows 7

with a silicondust HD prime(networkable digital cablecard to get HBO etc in WMC) at 1080p

Windows XP running 1280x1024 for analog cable DVR. I use synergy(1.4.5 beta) to control the desktops

as I haven't ran a usb over ethernet yet for keyboard and mouse.

Thus far I am very impressed, no need for instructions, the unit is clearly labeled.

The power connector has a "screw" on connection, great for figuring out what that wallwart

goes to, as well, it wont slip out when it falls (dropped unit at least twice each side already)

haven't tried audio yet, when I do I will update to the sound quality.

12-02: Sound works well, I only have it to a small desktop, no crackles or anything.

Once I set it up, I haven't had to touch it. Only mono audio.

04-26: Has stopped working. Still works on less than 25 foot cable, anything further

than that and it won't show a picture after post.

06-01: 2nd device has now died and 1st wont go past 25 feet.

note to self, stay away from Tripp Lite $250 wasted. Part of my life wasted on trying to get it to work again.

I just installed these yesterday (11/5/11) at church.

Needed to project from computer about 45 ft from ceiling mounted projector. I used cat6.

**Before installing in an unreachable/difficult to reach area (ie attic) test on floor**

**There are GAIN and EQ adjustments that will most likely need tweaking on the remote unit**

After I got the Gain and EQ adjusted the picture is quite good, I was pleasantly impressed.

*Probably an issue on my end with cabling, but my Red colors were Blue and Blue colors were Red. I think it was just that my pin-out was mixed I switched it around and everything worked fine*

My advice: do NOT buy this item. I will order a folding keyboard, more reliable, I hope.

Buy Logitech KeyCase All In One Keyboard & Case for Palm Now

I like the Logitech KeyCase. It gives me two things I needed for my Palm M130, a keyboard and a case. Overall, it compared with most of the other keyboards for the m130 that I tried out.

I feel that they keys are a bit small and close together for my larger hands and thick fingers. If your fingers are thin or your hands are average size or smaller, the KeyCase would be a very good keyboard for your Palm.

Having used other flexible keyboards, I was surprised at the responsiveness of the KeyCase. It wasn't nearly as mushy as I expected and was comparable to many other portable keyboards I've tested.

Overall, I think that the KeyCase is a good value, very usable if you take into account the size of your hands, and is fairly priced. It also the attention to quality that I've experienced and enjoyed with many other Logitech products in the past.

Gypsy Silicone Sleeve Set, Pink with White Crown

Gypsy Silicone Sleeve Set, Pink with White CrownI've had this for almost two years now and I love it. I can't believe how clean it's kept my Gypsy.

When I ordered this sleeve for my gypsy, I was under the impression that it was going to be a protective cover, to help guard against any bumps or falls that the gypsy may take. However, once I opened the package I was surprised to see that this cover was a very thin silicone cover. However, there are some both pros and cons for this item.

PROS:

* The color is a cheerful bright pink with a white crown design.

* The silicone is very flexible and was no trouble to slip onto the gypsy

* The pink stylus is cute, and fits into securely into the stylus holder without wiggling around.

CONS:

* The white crown design looks like it is going to wear off quite easily

* The silicone sleeve is so thin it is not capable of protecting the gypsy against any drops, spills, or bumps.

* The enclosed screen protector is too large for the gypsy screen, and it is difficult to get it to onto the screen without air bubbles.

All in all, while I wish the sleeve was more substantial (in order to provide more protection) I am pleased with the color and look of the sleeve, as well as the ease of taking it off and on, and the pink stylus.

  • Award Winning Anti-Glare Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi Screen Protector

  • Bubble-free Application
  • Fingerprint Free
  • Sized to specifically fit the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi

This is an expensive piece of plastic. I installed this as soon as I got the camera (Canon Rebel XSi). It does seem to do a decent job of protecting the screen but on the other hand it also seems to make the screen a little harder to read in bright sunlight.

Read Best Reviews of BoxWave Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi ClearTouch Anti-Glare Screen Protector (Single Pack) Here

Applying the screen protector is simple, but it is difficult to keep lint off of the adhesive side. I actually had to clean the protector, according to the manufacturers clean-up procedure, before I could apply it for the first time... and I thought that I was being careful. It is clean now and it attached just fine.

I don't know why the product has the wording anti-glare in the title, because I think glare might be worse with the protector on. The screen is definitely not as clear with the protector on, but maybe its better than looking through a scratched screen because you had no protection.

It covers all of the lcd screen, but not all of the black border around the screen. That is probably a good thing though because otherwise it would make it difficult to not have overhang if you were a little crooked with your application.

Jensen JDTV-750 7-Inches TV Tuner/Receiver - Black

Jensen JDTV-750 7-Inches TV Tuner/Receiver - Black
  • Full ATSC Digital Broadcast Receiver, On Screen Display for Picture and Volume Adjustment, Digital Up/Down Tuning
  • Digital Volume Control, Auto Channel Programming, Power Indicator, FM Receiver
  • Rubberized Cabinet, Detachable Rotary Telescopic Antenna and External Magnetic Base Antenna included
  • Headphone Jack, Built-in Speakers, Built-in Stand, Remote Control
  • DC 12V Car Cord, Power: Built-in Lithium Battery or AC Adaptable (AC Adaptor included), Optional: USB and SD/MMC Card Slots

First con is the battery lasts a bit over 2 hours. Also the tv I got won't charge (works plugged in but battery didn't work; it was a refurb so I got a warrenty). I got it for a pretty good price. Comes with 2 antennas that work fairly well, even indoors. Product is light, screen is decent. Also comes with a remote and car charger. Decent set ,especially if you can get a pood price on it.

To keep it rather short its not a bad little set and is a great value if you can get it for aeound 40 bucks like I did.

Only had it about a week so I can't say how long it'll last or what but they do have a costomer service dept which means a lot.

I'd reccomend to someone who's looking for a nice little inexpensive set.

The product arrived in perfect condition. It just does not perform perfectly. It barely picks up TV channels. It does, however, pick up several Asian channels. Go figure!!! I believe there is only one Asian channel locally. It only picks up one local English speaking channel and not very well at that.

this product was at a good price but,did not pick up channels like I thought it should have. At my house it picked up a few channels, at the camp site would not pick up any channels. Would not recomend this product.

BoxWave Skinny Capacitive Stylus for Apple iPad 3 - Apple iPad (3rd Generation) Touch Screen Stylus

BoxWave Skinny Capacitive Stylus for Apple iPad 3 - Apple iPad Touch Screen Stylus w/ Longer Barrel and Fine Tip Point for the new iPad
  • Works on all capacitive touch screens
  • Helps avoid fingerprints and smudges
  • Sturdy metal construction
  • Durable and responsive rubber tip
  • Pocket clip for easy transportation and storage

This stylus is the perfect size and works great with my Samsung Infuse phone. The tip is small enough for detailed tapping and typing, and the body of the stylus is sturdy enough. It feels like a typical ball-point pen. I would definitely recommend it.

I bought this stylus to use the note taker apps on my iPads. After using it for 2 minutes, I hated it. The capacitive tip is just not sensitive enought. I have to push the tip really hard to get a response from the touch screen. It isn't smooth writing and drawing on the touch screen. Avoid this one.

I found this useful for working with a number of my apps in taking notes and annotating documents. The stylus is slim enough to hold and responds well when drawing. I have three different stylus from fat to skinny and this is mid size and the one I use most often.

Its made fairly well. The length is a real plus. I use it on my iPad. BUT $15? Not worth it. Its not even a real pen on the other end. The string on the end is sorta flimsy. Not worth it overall.

PalmOne m100 Handheld

PalmOne m100 Handheld
  • 2 MB memory stores hundreds of addresses, phone numbers, appointments, and to-do items
  • Exchange and back up data with your PC or Macintosh using 1-touch synchronization
  • Synchronize with Palm Desktop software; also includes link to Microsoft Outlook
  • Includes one-touch clock and Note Pad application for writing "sticky notes" on screen
  • Add optional keyboard, backup module, or Kodak PalmPix digital camera; customizable with optional snap-on faceplates

I Recently bought the M100 after comparing the IIIE, IIIXE and Handspring Visor Models. What made me buy the Palm M100. Three reasons. 1. Palm's reputation of quality, and the look. I'm sorry but it's cool. Sure the screen is a bit smaller, but I'm not writing War and Peace on this thing! 2. The fact that I only wanted to replace my organizer and have room for a couple of games. Actually I have over 15 games on this along with a good chunk of info and still have over 75% of memory. Sure 8 mb is nice to have, but it's also another $100 bucks. I can't see myself spending more money on additional game-boy like cartridges. Sure for developers and heavy power users the visor is probably the way to go, but I didn't like the fact I had to pay $179 for a visor and another 30 bucks to serial link it with my older computer. That's $209 plus tax to start versus $149 for the Palm. Moreover, the Visor 8mb would have been over $279 dollars vs. $149 just to start out. FORGET IT. Like I said remeber what you are buying it for.!! 3. The way the standards are evolving and the way new devices are coming out, the next best thing is always around the corner, so again remind yourself what you are buying this for. The way I figure if something too cool comes out, (say after 6 months or so,when the flash module palms, new visors or the next best pocket pc version comes out, I'll just give the m100 to my daughter.

All things considered, the M100 is remarkably similar to the Palm IIIe and also to the Handspring Visor. They all run the Palm OS, have 2MB of RAM, and are powered by AAA batteries. They also all sell for $149. But the monochrome screen on the M100 is just 2 inches square--almost a half inch smaller than the Palm IIIe's screen. It's still large enough to be useful, but it feels cramped.

The M100 does have two handy additions to the Palm formula: the first is an integrated clock, and the other is a piece of software designed to replace Memo Pad. This feature, called Note Pad, allows you to draw and take notes directly on the screen rather than using Graffiti to enter text. I found it very handy for jotting down a phone number, which you can later transcribe with Graffiti. Don't think you must get an M100 to do this, though; third-party software, such as BugMe can do essentially the same thing on any Palm OS device.

By far the most appealing change is the small, light, new body. Although at 4.4 ounces it weighs little more than the Palm V, the M100 is much thicker than that model. When you tire of basic black, just snap off the faceplate and replace it with another color.

A new, double-hinged screen cover has a little window through which you can see a portion of the screen and a hole that allows you to access the scroll button. If you press this button when the M100 is turned off, the clock will be displayed through the window of the cover. When an appointment alarm sounds, you can read it right through the window as well. The cover can be folded behind the device, an improvement over the III series, but it tends to flap around a bit.

I like the price since, for $150, a Palm OS device with 2MB of RAM is plenty of computer. However, I recommend a Palm IIIe or, if you're fond of colors, the Handspring Visor because they offer slightly larger screens for the same price. The M100 is cute and the software tweaks are nice but its not really all that great compared to the IIIe.

I have just converted fron a Psion to the palm about two months ago, and I love it! The main complaint of most people (build quality) is right: Palm could have easily done better. Other than that, here are my pros & cons.

(+) it's compact & inexpensive, so you do not have to think twice before slipping it into your pants or shirt pocket. I previously owned a palm pilot personal and the difference in size and weight is noticable carrying the personl (or the Revo) was annoying after an hour or two, I now carry the m100 all day and hardly notice it.

(+) hotsync: if you use outlook caledar, do not even consider a psion. Their synchronization software is stone age compared to hotsync & pocketMirror (all included in the box).

(+) batteries: a matter of personal taste I guess, but I like using a couple of AAA's for a month and than just buy new ones which can be found everywhere better than worrying about taking a charger with me when I travel.

(+) 360 degrees hinge flip cover the most functional cover I have seen so far: it's thin, sturdy, and can flip open using one hand.

(*) my favorite add ons: 1) minicalc a commercial spredsheet app. that syncs nicely with exell. 2) thinkDB a commercial 'database' app with customizable forms & filtering.

(-) MIA's: e-mail sync., spelling checker, display pixel count. voice recording.

(-) RAM Size: 2MB becomes marginal with the add on apps mentioned above. Had to remove AvantGo :(

I'll take a star for memory size and build quality but I never regret buying it!

In other reviews, I have slammed this product, the m105 and the m125 for what I consider to be their fatal flaw -a SMALL SCREEN. I returned my m105 (a gift) after a week of squinting.

The dropping prices suggest that the marketplace has spoken loud and clear, and I hope that PALM soon remedies its problems at the low-end of the market with a full-sized screen in a basic unit for under two hundred smackers.

I can't emphasize that enough. With a monochrome screen to begin with, and the built-in difficulty of pointing and clicking on a Palm device, size matters.

However, I have to admit that at these fire-sale prices, the m100 is becoming a steal for folks who have missed out on the PDA revolution because of the cost.

Make no mistake, with a little patience, this is a device that will change your life. After a transition period, you will be able to toss away your Rolodexes (I used to have three) and your paper calendars.

I'd recommend buying a Handspring Visor Deluxe or the new Visor Neo for folks who want a full-sized screen, although they now cost a bit more. They also have an expansion slot for adding everything from memory to a cell phone to GPS. You will also need 8MB (the m100 model only comes with 2MB) if you want to run some of the cooler downloadable programs for your Palm. Three free programs that I use all the time include Mapopolis (free maps from mapopolis.com, streets are searchable), Vindigo (a restaurant and city guide with movie reviews and showtimes at vindigo.com), and Avantgo (a news service where you can get the likes of The New York Times, the Weather Channel and CNN on your Palm).

If you want to stay with Palm, but can spend a bit more, consider the Palm V. Although lacking in expansion slots, it comes in a

super-slim package with a rechargeable lithium battery and a full-size screen. I also have a friend who is very happy with his snazzy, expandable new m505, but in that price range I think a PocketPC might make more sense. Here's a basic product guide:

Palm m100/Handspring Visor -Bargain basement models with 2 MB of Ram. Good starter models for the price.

Distinguishing characteristics: Visor has significantly larger screen/expansion slot and fast USB cradle. Palm has slower serial.

Palm m105/Visor Deluxe -Workhorse models with 8 MB of Ram (plenty for monochrome models). Visor has bigger screen/USB/expansion slot.

Palm m125/Visor Platinum -Upper middle class models. Visor Platinum has larger screen. Both have USB/expansion slot.

Palm V -Classic, not significantly expandable. Smallest full-function PDA with lithium rechargeable battery.

Visor Prism -Cheapest and brightest Palm-branded OS, but bulky for its pricetag.

Visor Edge/Palm 500/505/Visor Pro...

Good luck!

For many people who are currently jumping on to the PDA bandwagon, you really cant go wrong with this little device. Depending on how you look at it, when it comes to PDA's generally what you pay for is what you get. This holds true for the m100. It will do pretty much everything every other palm will do. The only difference is that you have only about 2mb of storage space compared to the 8mb most Palm units will have now. Also the other main difference is that instead of a cradle, this unit has a plug in type of sync.

Its a great gift to give someone considering how much you can get them these days. Its a great entry level PDA.

As a last piece of advice i highly recommend that you do your research before you go and by any PDA. Dont believe the PocketPC ads or even the Palm ads. Talk to a lot of people and read a lot of reviews, particularly reviews that are made my people like you or me who aren't on Palm's or Microsoft's payroll.(Unfortunately) They will really tell you a lot of things that you will really want to know.

Good Luck! Overall again this is a good introductory palm for those who dont have any type of PDA. Again it really depend on your needs in a PDA. If all you need is a place to write telephone numbers, keep a calendar, a to do list and maybe a few games, this would be adequate. However if you need to view documents, e-books, web clippings, spreadsheets, and even listen to music, you might want to go another direction. Also be prepared to part with a few more dollars.

2.4G Rii Mini i8 Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad for PC Pad Google Andriod TV Box

2.4G Rii Mini i8 Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad for PC Pad Google Andriod TV BoxI have to say I am picky when it comes to my HTPC remotes. This is my 7th remote and I would rank it top 3.

PROs

button layout great

very form fitting in my hands

range is the same as others (enough to sit on a couch with direct line of sight

battery life

CONs

every so often it cannot keep up with my typing and misses letters

NO backlight

no obstacle can be in the way others you could put in the back of a pc this has to go in front

If the cons are not that bad I would recommend this, My favorite of all time is the Rii mini the black one from 2009. It may not have the best layout but its reliable and once you have gone through as many as I have you just want something that works

I normally do not write reviews but feel others should know they might get a device that has really bad range. The manual says the device has a 10m range. The best reception I got was maybe 1-1.5m away. I read reviews on some other sites and others have had the same problem. I am sending this back for a refund and will update with the outcome. Other than the range being awful, the design and ease of use is really nice.

Buy 2.4G Rii Mini i8 Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad for PC Pad Google Andriod TV Box Now

This tiny keyboard is handy for controlling a home theatre computer. You won't want to write a book, or maybe even emails, with a keyboard like this, but it is great for typing in a URL, username, password, etc.

I bought it to use with an MK802 II Mini Android PC, and it is well suited for that purpose for occasional control purposes. You just take the USB dongle and plug it into the USB socket for the Mini PC (the dongle was located in the battery compartment). No drivers or settings, it just starts working when the Mini PC boots.

It also has a touchpad mouse that works with single-gesture finger touches. Mouse buttons are located on left and right side of the touchpad, but there is another pair, with bigger buttons and in a handier location, at the left side of the keyboard.

There is a built-in rechargeable battery, and a micro-USB socket that you plug a cable into to recharge the device. I was really pleased to find that the keyboard came to me pre-charged, ready to use, a nice touch.

As a fast typist and mouse user on a conventional PC for many years, this device seems a bit slow and clunky to use by comparison. It's thumb typing, not touch typing. Positioning the mouse is not as rapid (for me) as a "real" mouse.

The tradeoff, of course, is the small size. A full conventional keyboard and mouse requires a lot of space and a table surface. The table near the home theatre is not well suited to this, and I don't require the speed and flexibility of conventional keyboard and mouse, because with a home theatre PC, you mainly use the controls to start your entertainment, and except for games, there is not much further interaction.

The device is a bit smaller than I expected. It is like two remote controls side by side, except thinner, and with a nice curvy shape that is easy to hold in two hands for operation. It seems solid and well built. I don't expect keys to come flying off, for example, and because they are rubber rather than plastic, there's a good chance that the key labels will stay a good while.

Although I have not tried it, I assume that this device could be used with a conventional keyboard and mouse also plugged into the USB port (perhaps using a small hub). I think it can be used with PCs and Macs. I will update this review once I have tried some of these things.

BOTTOM LINE: Four stars means "I Like It". It is a very handy device for infrequent interactions with the computer.

Read Best Reviews of 2.4G Rii Mini i8 Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad for PC Pad Google Andriod TV Box Here

I thought this thing would work perfectly as a way to interact with my google-TV.

The battery housing is such that the battery contacts don't remain in constant contact with the terminals. . . leading to spotty performance.

After one month of use, the battery doesn't hold a charge, so the only way I can use my "wireless" keyboard is to plug it into a usb charger with an extension cord on it.

The keys don't seem to catch every click. Sometimes they capture 2 clicks.

Now, I don't know for sure how much of the key-click problems are related to the keyboard or to the googleTV device I have. If I had it to do over again, I would have gotten a larger-sized keyboard, with a bigger battery.

I received this keyboard late last week and while for the most part it seems to be very well built and work really well, I found that the "I" key on my keyboard was defective. It requires A LOT of pressure, at first I thought it was totally broken.

I already started the return process on amazon and will update my review if the replacement ordered works without problems.

UPDATE: I received a new one of these. The new one seems to work great. All keys work consistently so far. I found some minor connection issues when I had it connected to a hub. I connected it directly and have not had any problems since (maybe some interaction with the hub?

So far my experience has included Windows 7 and some android use.

Of all mini keyboards, in terms of feel and layout this is my favorite. My reasons include:

1. scroll function (missing in many similarly priced keyboards, mostly fly-mouse types)

2. navigation arrows and centered OK button are the most used function of all for HTPC

3. Dedicated volume / mute and media keys

I will continue to update as things develop. For the moment I have upgraded my one star review to four stars.

UPDATE 1/7/2013:

I like this keyboard very much overall. However, I found that when used with a hub (and I have tried two different ones) sometimes the trackpad will not work or the connection will break (and I have to turn off and back on to get it working again). It could also be interactions with the other harware I have on the hub, such as thumb drives, etc. but only the keyboard seems to exhibit issues.

At least, going to a direct USB port seems to work well. This might help people with erratic performance who have not yet tried using a direct (no hub) port.

At the time I thought nothing of it. I then contacted amazon who told me to solve the problem with the seller. The seller said he would refund a partial payment. I thought this is better than nothing, so I agreed. I waited and waited, but nothing. Amazon then said it was past the a-z guarantee date so they will not assist in the refund.

Fellowes WriteRight Static Cling Screen Protector for Apple iPad (2 Pack)

Fellowes WriteRight Static Cling Screen Protector for Apple iPad
  • Includes Two (2) Screen Protectors, a Soft Cleaning Cloth and a Squeegee Card.
  • Covers entire front of screen.
  • Clear, Scratch Resistant Film. Static Cling Adhesive leaves no residue.
  • Works with Touch Screen and Stylus.
  • Reduces Screen Glare and Leaves No Residue.

After years of owning iphones, I have gotten very good at applying screen protectors, so getting the writeright on with no bubbles was pretty easy. (The trick is to peal back the plastic very very slowly and apply the cover a little at a time. Start at the top of the device, peal off just enough of the plastic covering to expose some of the screen protector. Apply that thin strip to the top of your ipad and slowly work your way down. If you see a bubble created, gently lift that section of the screen protector and then reapply it. It works great. No bubbles at all.)

BUT... even after the flawless application, I am finding this screen protector interferes with the readability of the ipads gorgeous screen. It sort of pixilates it so everything looks fuzzy.

I just bought the ipad, so I am happy to have a screen cover on it for now... but believe me, I will be reading reviews to buy a replacement. This thing is not going to last long.

I wonder if Walmart will give me my money back?

I've had plenty experience applying screen protectors so I know this one is pure crap. Complete waste of the money. I have just spent over an hour and STILL can't get all the bubbles out. I'm scratching the "protector" simply by typing this. Worst part is there were already hairs and dirt stuck to the screen protector from when it was made in factory. Will be calling first thing Monday morning for a full refund.

Want Fellowes WriteRight Static Cling Screen Protector for Apple iPad (2 Pack) Discount?

Most negative reviews of screen protectors mention issues with bubbles, trapped dust, misalignment, etc. 99% of it is user error. Some people have even stupidly installed the protective film that is meant to protect the actual screen protector in the package. If the screen protector isn't installed correctly, it will look bad. This applies to all of them, and the majority of the screen protectors on the market are equally difficult (or easy) to install. When reading reviews of any screen protector, look for those that discuss the following:

Fit -how well is the screen protector customized for your device? Some of them are designed to have small border of "unprotected" space around the screen. Some include a cut-out circle to be applied on top of the home button. Others may not have a cutout for the front face-time camera. And some of them are just plain misaligned (but be wary of lone reviewers who say this. It's often a result of improper installation)

Clarity -Speaking in terms of just the clear screen protectors (i.e. no special features like anti-glare, privacy, mirror, smudge-proof, etc), it's important to take note of multiple reviews that talk about distortion of the display. This is most important on a retina screen. You're already going to be sacrificing at least SOME clarity when you put a screen protector on your iDevice's retina display, but there are some "clear" screen protectors out there that produce more distortion than necessary. Some of them have issues with the "orange peel" effect, where the screen, while clear, has the look of a textured surface (like an orange) that distorts the view. Other screen protectors have issues with reflecting an absorbing light, creating a rainbow effect when held at certain angles. Keep in mind, though, that it's usually only noticeable in certain harsh lighting environments, so take note of reviews that mention rainbow distortion in multiple lighting conditions.

Feel -How does your hand (and stylus if you use one) glide across the screen? No screen protector will feel just like your ipad's bare screen, but it shouldn't add too much extra resistance. I've seen screen protectors in the past that made those rubber capacitive styli squeak across the screen. HOWEVER, take note of the following: Most, if not all, screen protectors are packaged with thin plastic films that protect the front and back (adhesive side) of the screen protector itself. After installation, when you peel off the front film, a lot of them will leave behind a little bit of sticky residue. This residue will make the screen protector have a lot of friction, and it can even make the rainbow effect look more intense. But, this residue can be removed relatively easily with eyeglass cleaning solution and a small amount of force with a microfiber cloth. It might take a few "sessions" to fully clean it. I mention this fact because a lot of negative reviews are written in the heat of the moment, in anger. Oftentimes the reviewer took the screen protector off his device after only a couple of hours. As odd as it sounds, screen protectors seem to need some "settling time" before they can be truly evaluated.

Scratch Resistance -The point of a screen protector is to protect your device's bare screen from abrasions, but it's an exercise in futility to use a screen protector that scratches so easily under normal use that you have to replace it every month just to see your screen again. A plastic screen protector will scratch, but some more easily than others. Personally, I use a screen protector because I'm not always a delicate little angel with my electronics. I also like to be able to do a quick spray and wipe down without worrying about rubbing particles of dust, dirt, crumbs, etc. into the iPad's not-as-scratch-resistant oleophobic coating. I need a screen protector that can withstand that abuse over a reasonable amount of time. Most of them will.

Touch Response -most screen protectors are going to reduce the screen's sensitivity to a capacitive stylus. The screen responds to your touch, and a stylus relies on your body contacting the stylus's conductive material making contact with the screen. Add to that another layer between your touch and the digitizer on your ipad, it's inevitable. How much it affects your stylus depends a lot of the quality of the stylus (the amount and quality of conductive surface on the stylus itself), as well as the thickness of the screen protector. Under no circumstances, however, should you ever put up with a screen protector that causes a noticeable reduction in responsiveness to your touch. Most of them are fine in that regard.

Having said all that, I'll preface my review with one more thing: I have a lot of experience installing screen protectors. I've installed them for friends, family, clients, and myself. With most of these screen protectors, there's one simple fact: The product package does not include everything you need to do a proper, successful installation. Save yourself some headache and go to Youtube to find proper instructional videos.

But the issue with this screen protector is that it's prone to scratches on an almost comical level. The other review was spot on. Something is wrong with the plastic; it's far too malleable. No other screen protector I've encountered, including the cheap $2 ones that don't even come in a branded package, are this prone to scratches. It looked like a 1-year-old first-gen ipod nano after about 2 days of normal use. If you don't get the reference, let's just say it was pretty scuffed up.

The short and sweet of it is this: This writeright screen protector installs and looks just like the other static-clings on the market, but it is fragile to the point that it should be recalled.

And I realize my review of the actual product was shorter than my intro. I just felt the need to add some credibility to my comments.

This product is worthless.

I got this while I waited for a different kind of screen protector to be delivered figuring it would be better than NOTHING. Well...

The application was straightforward as most are. I've put these protectors on numerous cell phones so the iPad was just a larger version. It actually went on well. But only one side of it has a "protective" film piece where many are sandwiched between two. This means that when you're rubbing out the bubbles, you're scratching the screen protector itself! I didn't notice how badly it was getting scratched up until I was done.

"Oh well, no big deal" I thought. You couldn't even see the tiny scratches when it was on which was all that really mattered.

It's been less than a month and this has so many scratches I had to replace it with the one that I was originally waiting for. The scratches were so bad that it began distorting the screen images making it look like the pixels on the device were messed up. We keep a cover on the iPad and it doesn't even touch the screen due to the raised sides. I have wiped it maybe 4 times since putting it on with a high-end microfiber cloth that I use on my vehicles (I'm an auto detail enthusiast). The MF towels seem to be a contributing factor to the scratches on the screen but other than that, it's just our fingers that touch the screen.

The bottom line is that the plastic used to make these is way too malleable and picks up scratches way too easily. Don't waste your money!

This case holds the Kindle fire very securely without the (to me) awkward and unattractive straps across the four corners. The base folds over the case perfectly and the magnets fasten the top down to protect the screen. Everything is aligned reasonably well and fits and it doesn't look at all bad or cheap. The stand works well to hold the Kindle Fire in landscape orientation. You need to move it around a bit to find a stable position but I have never had it collapse. Portrait mode also works but it is a little cumbersome to detach the Kindle Fire from the base and reorient it and then refasten it to the base.

Considering the price and the quality, I am very happy with this unit. In fact, I have purchased a nearly identical case by the same company for the family's Kindle eReader.

I bought this case when there was no review by other buyers. I was comparing it with other cases that provide dual view but they were too pricey. After I received it, I must say it works really well for my Kindle Fire for the price that I paid. It's functional and practical for my daily usage. When it first came, the leather smells just like any new leather product. But after a few days, the smell is not noticeable.

Can't beat the price for this cute case. Great color and fits the Android 7" tablets in size. That said, the side openings do not match up with the Android Tablet's side buttons. If you need it for the Kindle, it may work, but not for Android 7" 4.0 Capacitive Touch Screen Wifi Tablet.

Update: Although my daughter likes this cover because of the color, it doesn't stand up and the side openings don't align with the Android tablet. I would not recommend this product for a 7" Android tablet.
