C2G / Cables to Go 50FT Pro Series Dvi-d CL2 M/m Dual Link Digital Video Cable

C2G / Cables to Go 50FT Pro Series Dvi-d CL2 M/m Dual Link Digital Video Cable
  • Length 50 FT
  • Color Black

I was very concerned when shopping for a DVI cable of this length. DVI, as a standard, was not intended to support this. This is not the least expensive 50ft DVI, but I wanted it to work without dealing with amplifiers, and it does. I am running from an ATI video card to a Dell 24" monitor at 1920x1200 with flawless results.

This got the job done. The only other thing I could ask for would be removable ends, so I can fish the cable up walls easier.

PDair Leather Case for BlackBerry Torch 9810 - Book Type (White)

PDair Leather Case for BlackBerry Torch 9810 - Book TypeI was pleasantly surprised that the case arrived much sooner than I expected. I like that it is made of a quality leather, and that my phone fits snugly and tightly in the case. I've been testing it to see if it will fall out, but so far it hasn't. The best thing about this case is that you can answer your phone while still in the case. In the past I've missed calls because I had trouble getting it out of the case. Also, when closed it preserves battery life. Great case!

Handspring Visor Serial Hotsync Cradle (Ice)

Handspring Visor Serial Hotsync Cradle
  • HotSync serial cradle for your Handspring Visor
  • Synchronize at home or the office
  • Compatible with Windows 95, 98, and NT and Mac OS 7.5.3 or later
  • Connects to serial port; ideal for non-USB-equipped PCs and Macs
  • Replaces or complements the USB HotSync cradle that comes with the Visor Deluxe

This is a must if you don't have a USB port, or if your running Win NT. Goes without saying that synching with a serial device isn't as fast as with the USB cradle, but it does get the job done. I use the USB cradle at home and the serial cradle at the office.

If you are going to start using a PDA, like the Visor Deluxe, consider two cradles if you work outside the home. Having two places to do my "to do list" is worth the $... alone. I did not like the ice color at first, but I am fine with it now. The unit worked perfectly out of the box, and so far connects every time. The Visor became a "killer application" for me, so the need for the two cradles was evident from the start.

I have a cradle for a desk top with windows95 and a serial port and a laptop with win98 and a usb port. I find virtually the same performance in both cradles with regards to time, function, compatability, etc. One odd thing that may be unique to my cradles is that the serial cradle holds the visor MUCH MUCH tighter than the USB cradle. I cant really think of a reason that this would be but detatching it from the serial cradle is somewhat of a pain. Possibily with use it will be less "sticky". The data transfer is smooth with both and I hesitated ALOT (!) about getting a cradle for each computer but I am very glad I did. Right after I did my laptop went in for repairs and my visor needed batteries..... you need to hotsync before a battery change...hence my timing was perfect. Perfect timing doesnt happen often in life and I am just thankful it happened this time...before I started losing data. Consider this option if you have a serial port computer you can use...you won't be sorry PS LOVE MY VISOR!

Excellent cradles either way. I use the USB cradle at home and a serial one at work. You can't tell the difference in speed. The hot sync button on the cradle works like a champ.

I needed a replacement Handspring Visor PDA and cradle-- Yes, I know they are not the rage of today, but some of us couldn't live without one. Fortunately, I found a almost-new Handspring Visor from Ed's PDA 'n More here on Amazon. Great price, prompt delivery, and great followup. It is obvious that Ed has a passion for good service,and his goal is for every customer to be satisfied. He has much more than PDA's- good variety of current favorites and scarce oldies. Thanks, Ed.I'll be back.

2pc Sliver & Gold Stylus Ballpoint Pen for iPad, all iPhone, 4S and all Capacitive Touch Screen Devi

2pc Sliver & Gold Stylus Ballpoint Pen for iPad, all iPhone, 4S and all Capacitive Touch Screen Devices
  • Measuring 5.25 inches; Color: Silver & Gold; QTY 2 pcs
  • Twist Pen Design; Solid metal material; Soft rubber tip.
  • Compact and light weight design, easy to carry. Can be clipped in your pocket, book, diary, etc.
  • Compatible with Apple iPod, iPad, iPhone, iPhone 4S or any other capacitive touch screens.
  • Keep your screen free from scratching and fingerprint.

Great quick service from seller. The pens are of nice quality but the barrels of the pens are tooooo slim. Your fingers get tired when using for any length of time. A larger, more current sized barrel would make these pens really tough to beat.

This pen has a VERY light feel to it, and to some, that may be a deal breaker. Traditionally, I like heavier pens, but I gave this one a chance and I'm glad I did. The PEN refill is as good or better than a Cross pen. Smooth writing, no smears and it feels good on paper. This might seem trivial since you buy it for the stylus, but all to often, companies put little or no effort in the collateral options on their products. The STYLUS portion of the pen works every bit as good as any higher priced product. I've bought and own, Boxwave, AYL, Targus, Kensington, AluPen, and others. This stylus stands on it's own with any of the good ones.

The barrel is metal, albeit, not quite the "quality metal" they advertise, but it's not cheap garbage either. It feels good in the hand, writes well, and works on my iPad2 and Galaxy Nexus with NO wants or problems. Even with the lighter weight than I'm used to, I'd buy it again. (added point, the pen is refillable too, and not some proprietary odd size)

While the pens looked good, I was not impressed with the quality of them. One of the pens lost it's rubber tip twice and I was unable to get it back on after the second time. With the other one, originally the pen mechanism worked fine and then the pen point itself came out less and less till you couldn't write with it at all. I wouldn't recommend this product at all.

I purchased these stylus pens for my tablet. The stylus part works great, just don't expect the pen part of it to last. It actually fell a part.

HTC Pure Black Rubber Feel Hard Case Cover w/Belt Clip

HTC Pure Black Rubber Feel Hard Case Cover w/Belt Clip
  • HTC Pure Black Rubber Feel Hard Case Cover w/Belt Clip

I actually love the cover, its alot better than the att cover I had, which has the plastic cover front. The plastic cover front made it hard to manuever the screens and my phone would jam, not having that problem now. The only draw back on this, if you want to switch it out, I found it hard as hell to get off without marking it up and actually thought at one point my phone might get broken. Once its on-they mean it to stay on-didnt care for that.

Buy HTC Pure Black Rubber Feel Hard Case Cover w/Belt Clip Now

Good:

fast shipping from Vendor

case fits well (like a glove)

Bad:

case consist of 2 parts (upper case and bottom case no such description or picture from Vendor)

snaping mechnism looks "weak" to me. If you plan not to open case often then you are fine.

i use phone every minute and have 2 batteries, for me it is very inconvenient and difficult to remove case (unlock 2 parts: upper and bottom) every time i have to swap batteries

overpriced (bottom price 0.99)

Overall it is a good case if you plan to use only ONE battery

This has been a good case so far in regards to protecting the PocketPC. However, the outside does tend to scratch pretty nasty if comes in contact with say a set of keys. It would have been pretty nice if the case enclosed the storage cards and stylus as those will tend to come out and be lost if you don't notice they are loose. Overall, a good purchase.

Dymo Rhinopro 6000 Label Printer (1734519)

Dymo Rhinopro 6000 Label Printer
  • Labeling Tool

I'm not even going to bother to cite the myriad of annoyances and shortcomings with this product; other reviewers have already eloquently done so. Instead, I'm going to assume that this product functions as one would expect and is comparable to the Brother (which IMO they are much inferior), and just focus on the TCO (total cost of ownership). Assuming one is shopping for a handheld industrial label printer, there are really only two players Brother and Dymo. Brother offers the PT-1650 ($159 MSRP) and the PT-7600 ($199 MSRP). Dymo offers the Rhino "Pro" 5200 ($219 MSRP) and Rhino "Pro" 6000 ($299 MSRP). Actual street prices are lower with the Brother products about $50-100 less. Or stated another way, if you purchase the Brother WITH the hard case, you'll still have some change in your pocket as compared to buying the Dymo WITHOUT the hard case.

Both label printers are extremely wasteful of label tape out of the box. I think this is by design as they really make their money on labels. In both cases there are settings that can dramatically reduce the waste if you READ THE MANUAL and learn how to properly use the product. But the P-Touch is ultimately more efficient because not only do you waste less material per cut but you can print larger fonts on the smaller sized labels. Again my personal experience aside, if we strictly look at the cost of supplies, the difference in cost is startling. Rhino Nylon Tape MSRP is $18.99 (1/2"), 20.99 (3/4"), and 22.99 (1") for 11.5 feet or $1.65-2.00/ft. P-Touch Flexible ID Tape MSRP is $19.99 (1/2"), 23.49 (3/4"), 27.99 (1") for 26.2 feet or $.763-1.07/ft. I can purchase the Brother 1/2" tape online for $9.93 whereas the Dymo tape is $11.80 online. In other words, the Dymo 1/2" tape costs me 2.7x as much as the Brother tape. If that's not highway robbery I don't know what is...

Now, I also believe it is worthwhile mentioning that the Rhino label printers can only use Rhino industrial tape and is strictly NOT COMPATIBLE with any of the Dymo home or office labeling products. So if one wants to use the Rhino to print labels for home and office environments, you are forced to use the overpriced and poorly suited Nylon tape or purchase a second Dymo (non-Rhino) label printer! Trust me nylon tape labels don't look right on file folders!

As for warranty, the Brother has a 2-year exchange whereas the Dymo has a 1-year warranty. Honestly, I never even considered warranty when originally shopping these products as I assumed we'd replace them with a newer more full featured unit before they broke. We are an AV/IT company and print a lot of labels and thus spend much more on the supplies than the actual printers. BUT we've now owned 2 Brother and 3 Dymo units and two of the three Rhinos now have broken cutters. Neither showed signs of major wear and tear so I can't attribute it to abuse in the field. As a matter of fact, ironically the most beat up Rhino is the one that is still functioning. That leads me to believe it is a rugged product but has a design flaw in the cutter that has nothing to do with how my installers handle the product. Also the cutter is part of the unit and cannot be replaced the entire unit has to be replaced or in our case thrown away. Brilliant engineering there Dymo!

In summary, let's assume you purchase both products, use 500 ft of 1/2" tape annually, and the unit fails 1-year after the warranty period. Your total annual cost for each product would be:

Rhino Pro 5200, $160 up front cost, $1026.09 recurring, 2 years, $593.05/year.

Rhino Pro 6000, $250 up front cost, $1026.09 recurring, 2 years, or $638.05/year.

P-Touch PT-1650, $125 up front cost, $379.01 recurring, 2 years, or $252.01/year.

P-Touch PT-7600 $140 up front cost, $379.01 recurring, 2 years, or $259.51/year.

Over a 5 year span, the RhinoPro 6000 would cost $2000 more than a P-Touch PT-7600. OUCH!!!

Buy Dymo Rhinopro 6000 Label Printer (1734519) Now

I install data cabling for a living and frequently have to label patch panels requiring multiple serialized labels of the same size. Such labels are easy to setup on the printer and you can see the entire series of labels on screen before printing, so you know exactly what you're going to end up with when you print. Unfortunately, when pausing to cut between labels, the printer advances the label to the appropriate position for cutting before starting to print the next label. The result is that each label must be manually trimmed before it can be applied.

I confirmed with Dymo/Rhino tech support that this is the way the printer is designed to work and that there are no plans to change it. In fact, I have had this printer for almost two years, and complained about this issue immediately after purchase, and they have yet to release a firmware update to correct the issue. Even the newer model 5200, released over 1 year after my original complaint, works the same way.

In contrast, my Brother P-Touch 1600 supports a cut mode that cuts consecutively printed labels in the proper place, requiring only that the first label be manually trimmed.

The tech support people I've talked to, as well as Dymo reps at trade shows, all understand the issue and have agreed that this is not a desirable way for the printer to work. Apparently the engineers behind the product haven't used the finished product, haven't been made aware of the issue, or don't think it's a problem.

When compared to my P-Touch, the maximum print size on the same label width is smaller on the Rhino, which leaves a much larger margin above and below the text. The printing seems to be at a lower resolution than the P-Touch, but maybe it just looks that way because of the font that the Rhino uses. Finally, the finished labels, regardless of the material used (permanent polyester, vinyl, etc) have a lower quality appearance than the P-Touch TZ tapes.

I think a combination of the Rhino firmware and Brother hardware would make for ultimate label printer for my needs, but that will never happen.

Comparing the Rhino 6000 with the Brother P-Touch 7600, I would have a hard time deciding between the two if the prices were the same, but since the Brother comes in at about 1/2 the cost of the Rhino, I think the Brother P-Touch 7600 is the clear winner.

Read Best Reviews of Dymo Rhinopro 6000 Label Printer (1734519) Here

The 6000 is the latest in the line of Rhinopro label printers. While this is the most expensive, it seems to answer all of the criticisms I have seen of the earlier versions, and is an incredibly versatile machine.

The printer takes tapes from 1/4 inch to a full 1 inch wide. It is not clear from the literature, but a call to Dymo confirmed that the 6000 takes the D1 tapes as well as the specialized Rhino tapes, so there is a wide range of sizes and colors available, and you can use tapes you might already own for one of the other Dymo printers.

Earlier models were criticized for the way the rubber cover made tape changing difficult. On this model, the rubber is built in, and tape changing is as simple as opening a flap at the bottom. Another plus is that the tape width is now entered on the keyboard when a tape is changed, and not with a switch in the tape compartment.

The label printer is easy to use as a standalone device, but can also be driven from a PC. As a Mac user, I haven't yet been able to try this. There is currently no Mac version of the software.

Operation through the keyboard is relatively straightforward, given the number of different options that are available, and is made easier by the dedicated function keys that allow you to select the type of label you want to produce. I bought the unit primarily so that I could label light switches at our new home, and to label the myriad of cables and power bricks that come with every new piece of electronics these days. The flexible nylon tape and the multiple wire labeling formats (including the "flag" format that automatically prints the text twice on the label with a gap between so you can wrap the unprinted center part around the cable and have the printed sections stuck back to back to themselves as a flag) make the latter job very easy.

Build quality seems reasonable for the price, and the print quality even on the 1" tape is excellent.

The unit comes with a great range of graphic symbols that would be of use to industrial users, as well as lots of symbols that are great for home. You can download the manual at the dymo site (http://download.dymo.com/media/UserGuides/R6000_UserGuide.pdf) and see them all.

Storing labels in the internal memory isn't as intuitive as I would have liked, but it is a minor niggle. More than offset by the attention to user friendliness that is shown by the fact that although there is a lithium rechargeable battery pack that fits in the unit, they have designed the battery compartment to also take AA batteries in an emergency, which means that you'll never get stranded with a flat battery, and won't necessarily need to be held hostage to buy a new lithium pack from Dymo when the original one fails!

When I ordered mine, Amazon didn't have them, so I got mine from Labelcity.com and was very very pleased with their service and knowledge. They stock pretty much all of the tapes, and their price is very competitive.

Want Dymo Rhinopro 6000 Label Printer (1734519) Discount?

Having fought with nearly every model of P-Touch labeler over the years mostly for cable labeling, which it's simply not designed for I broke down and bought the Rhino 6000 last week, thinking I was going pro.

As the previous reviewer mentions, it solves a lot of the design flaws of the previous top-of-the-line Rhino model. However, I'm still finding it incredibly annoying for the following reasons:

* The built-in symbol library is tiny and a pain to access (multi-level menus for every single symbol). Ditto for the text library.

* There's allegedly a way to create your own symbols using Rhino Connect software, but that software is nowhere to be found on Rhino's web site. The product page for that software is an expired coupon from 2007 for a free CD ($199 value!); that sounds, to me, like they didn't have the software ready yet and wanted to market it anyway. Presumably, if it existed, they'd be selling it by now.

* The "wrap" modes, which should be great for cables, leave a wide margin at the edge of the label, so you don't really get the wrap effect on thinner cables (e.g. 18 AWG).

* The print quality is spotty; sometimes the label looks good, sometimes there are pixels missing. This is with several different types of label cartridges (heat shrink, flexible nylon.)

* Hitting a wrong key at any point results in the whole LED display momentarily flashing at you.

* The UI is clunky; there are separate keys for "CLR", "ESC", "OK", "backspace", and "enter", and each of them is used in different ways at different points to select menu items.

* No auto-detection of cartridge size. Even my P-Touch has this.

* Cut labels don't fall out of the machine; you have to wave it around or lightly tap it upside-down to shake them out.

* The backing is very difficult to peel, at least on the 1/2-inch nylon labels, because it's cut in half lengthwise along the entire label. Brother's P-Touch models will do a "half cut" they'll cut the label at the edge, and then cut only the backing a little ways in, so that you can peel off most of the backing in one step.

* You can't mix type styles or sizes within a label. So I can't, for instance, label my terminals as [1] [2] [3] (with boxes around the numbers), and then create a label showing "24 VAC -> [1]"; either the whole label is boxed, or nothing at all.

* You can't change fonts, period. One font.

* The color selection is very limited compared to P-Touch.

* You can't print on the back of the heat-shrink tubing. I guess I can't expect this from a handheld; it'd take twice the printing machinery. Still, it's something I hadn't thought about before, and I'm sure I've seen heat-shring labels with true wrap-around capability, so somebody somewhere does it. Otherwise, again, "wraparound" on a thin wire isn't very wraparound.

Most importantly:

* The thing can't auto-cut! Again, my (relatively) cheapo P-touch has been able to do that for six years. There is a cut button, but you can't tell the machine to cut after each printing. At best, you can tell it to pause printing between labels, so YOU can press the cut button. Clearly, they know we want to auto-cut, but the auto-pause was the best they were able to do for some reason...

Given that, I don't see any reason to buy this over a nicer P-Touch model. As for me, I'm going to think about splurging on a Brady although it seems that they can't auto-cut either. WTF?

We have used Brother P-Touch labels for years for custom calibration labels for our clients and products that we make. When Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) finally broke P-Touch Editor, I thought it would be worthwhile to evaluate a portable printer and picked the Rhinopro 6000 because it advertises the capability to develop labels on a computer.

The printer was delivered without the software. Somehow I missed this fine distinction in the description. As is, the function of the 6000 is rudimentary at best. It seems to be primarily designed to print sequences of information equally spaced on a label, perhaps for labeling switches or circuit breakers. This works quite well if you have no ambition to format your labels, or use a variety of fonts.

The cutter on the unit we got will not cut a straight line, nor are the cuts perpendicular to the edges of the label. This means you will have to use scissors if you want your labels to look clean and professional.

I sent off the required documentation for the otherwise $200 software package and three weeks later the CD arrived. Expecting a reasonably full featured label design and layout application similar to P-Touch Editor, I was amazed to find a PC version of the software resident in the printer itself. The Rhinopro software is overpriced at free. I can't imagine paying $20 for it, much less $200.

I have gotten P-Touch Editor to print a reasonably good-looking label with the Rhinopro 6000, but every label has to be redesigned to print correctly, and there is no way to store the designed labels on the printer for on-site use, or to add new data from the printer itself, making this a useless work-around.

I suppose this would be marginally adequate for an electrician or installer wanting a solution one step up from writing on a panel with a Sharpie marker. Otherwise, if you want to create clean, professional labels, this printer is not ready for prime time.

PDair F41 Black Leather Case for Nokia C3-00

PDair F41 Black Leather Case for Nokia C3-00I been very pleased with my case. It protects the phone and keeps it secure and handy. I was a bit put off at first. I hadn't realized from the product picture that the case cover flipped up, not down. But after using it a while, the case made sense. The only modification that I've had done is an extra hole for the charger plug, done by the local leather shop. This is so I don't have to open the case to charge the phone. Delivery was much faster than I was told to expect. I'm very happy with it.

I had looked long and hard for a case that looked good and would last. Admittedly, I was having second thoughts when, after placing the order I found out it would be a longer order time due to coming out of Hong Kong. I am sooo glad I ordered this! Not only is it one of the best looking cases I have ever had for a cell phone it will be durable too NO CHEAP SHORTCUTS. This case is first class I have seen cases that were twice the price to get this type of quality. 1.) A reinforced spinner that screws into the back of the reinforced anchor I would be supprised if there would ever be a problem with this due to the extra sturdy construction. 2.) The leather is soft, rich and supple. 3.) The fastener is magnetic and very easy to grip for easy opening and closing. 4.) The case protects the phone and display no friction between the case and display. 5.) The case opens easily giving complete access to the phone and moving out of the way of the user. 6.) Quality stitching on the edges. 7.) Holds the phone in place never a concern it will fall out. 7.) It is perfectly designed for the Nokia C3-00. I think it took about 20 days for me to receive this case it is sent registered mail to you so you have to sign for it. No danger of losing it. The only reason I gave this case 5 stars is because they do not allow me to give it 10! I hope this helps in your search for a quality case.

I'm hoping some of the bubbles settle out after a few days but it's not looking like it will.

  • Total capacity of the two USB ports is 1AMP

We're going on a cruise and I ordered this to use in the single outlet that will be in our cabin. It's very nicely compact and the cord kind of wraps into it. It has 2 3-prong outlets on one side and 1 on the other, as well as 2 USB ports. It's supposed to be able to charge 2 USB devices at once, one of them even being an iPad, which draws twice as much power as an iPod to charge. However, I was unable to do this during my tests at home. Forget an iPad and another device, I was unable to even charge 2 iPods, an iPod and iPhone, or an iPod and a Motorola Atrix phone. Only one USB device would charge at a time. I could, however, charge one device in a USB port and plug a usb adapter into a normal outlet and charge two devices but doesn't that defeat the purpose of this thing? Personally, I would not recommend this device and if I didn't need at least something before I leave in a couple days, I'd return this one without hesitation.

Buy Tripp Lite TRAVELER3USB Notebook Surge Protector USB Charger 3 Outlet 540 Joule Now

I ordered 5 Tripp Lite (my son ordered them for me), and I gave away 4, and left with only one. I believe having Tripp Lite is a necessity more than "I want that" item. The built quality is great, and it comes with a USB cable, just in case if your devices need it.

The advantages are numerous, one is having 3 output connectors for your gadgets and 2 USBs, especially when traveling and staying at Hotels or even at home. Most of the time you are faced with few wall outlets, and at the wrong places.

In addition, you are faced with a problem because you have a laptop, a digital camera, a camcorder, battery charger, cellular phone and maybe MP3 player.

with all that, you have to have something portable that can sneak in your backpack, etc.

I have used Tripp Lite Traveler3USB Surge suppressor for more than 2 months now, and it works great.

I used it to charge my Iphone, and to connect my netbook, my kids laptop, Sony PSP and Nintendo DS.

I am ordering 5 more of Tripp Lite to give them as gifts to family and friends.

I lost my Apple Ipad charger on a trip, but luckily had this with me and it did the trick.

There are other power strips and surge protectors with usb ports out there, but many will not charge an Ipad. This will.

Also it appears well made and well designed. The size is small enough to not be a burden.

I just bought a second one and decided to do the review.

Want Tripp Lite TRAVELER3USB Notebook Surge Protector USB Charger 3 Outlet 540 Joule Discount?

This is a good unit. You can tell it is made well when it has a 14awg line to plug it in, versus the 16 or 18 that cheaper units would have. The two USB plugs are handy, though it would be preferable if they were on the side with two plugs. The specs for this unit are good, for example the let through voltage is superior to competin products. I'm not sure if they spec their joule rating as total, with each line pair protected only to 1/3 of that level the way Belkin does it, or something else.

Regardless, this is a nice item. Wish it came in white though.

July 2011 update:

After traveling with this unit, a blackberry and an iPhone, I'm a bit disappointed. When I plug either one in, it works fine. When I plug both in, my blackberry will charge, but my iPhone will cycle through a few charge attempts and then claim inability to charge with the accessory and stop.

I'm not sure if the two sockets are paralleled, and thus want different voltages or current levels than the unit van provide, if the unit is just current limited, or what. It's a great little unit, but I have to take it from five stars to three because an item of this caliber should be able to charge two smartphones at once.

I'm going to report this to Tripp lite and report back.

If you're reading this review, chances are you know most USB ports on surge protectors won't power an iPad. Well, this one does!!! It can charge your iPad, Android smartphone and Mac Air, all at the same time. And the design really is smart. The chord wraps all the way around the surge protector so it stows away neat for travel. Look no further, at $15 this is a frickin' steal. See my picture to see everything plugged in and happily charging. The only other thing I need to charge on a regular basis is my Kindle, but that only needs to happen once every month or so. And it uses the same charging cord as the Droid, making one less thing to carry.

DS1M12, "Stingray", Handheld, USB bus powered multi-function instrument

DS1M12, 'Stingray', Handheld, USB bus powered multi-function instrumentWe purchased two of these about a year apart, the first one broke with only a few days use in a year but I can't say we were delicate handling it. The setup was difficult and required too much revision download. We actually like the screen display and took a chance on another one just recived. The latest revions are still not an easy setup on our Windows 7 laptop. The unit fails to self prompt upon USB connecting as is option one in the instructions, option two is manual download of driver software and requires some manipulation most normal computer users might find difficult. For the price and given todays plug an play technology it's dissapointing it is not easier to setup. Overall the performance and screen is great, just be prepared with an hour or so to get it working, more or less depending on your computer skills.

Belkin F8U1500 IR Universal Wireless Keyboard

Belkin F8U1500 IR Universal Wireless Keyboard
  • Wireless connectivity
  • Generous key spacing and comfortable key travel
  • Quick-start keyboard application keys
  • Works with most Palm devices and Pocket PCs
  • Universal IR Wireless

I have been using pda's for 6 years and most people use them because they aren't sitting at a desk.My current one is the Ipaq 2210/2215 (love it). My first pda was the palm vIIx and I had their portable keyboard. The pda had to attach to it, but it always worked every key! Great for the hotel stay or any desk.

With this Belkin unit you first have to update your driver (go to the Belkin website). You may have to uninstall other keyboard software first. Some PDA's have the ability to turn the screen sideways in Word or Excel which is good. Mine doesn't and the only way to get it to line up is to sit my pda in the FLIMSY holder UPSIDE down. Trying to line up your pda to the infrared using the adjustable metal shield is difficult. Even when I turned my pda upside down half the keys wouldn't work. If you wasted enough time reading this then I may have saved you $$$ and headache. I won't even offer to sell mine.

I had to check the package to make sure we are all talking about the same keyboard here, as I have had a very different experience with this item.

I received it. I opened it. I added a battery, inserted the CD-Rom, installed the drivers and that was it. Works fine.

My PDA is an ipaq 1935, which is not too different from the 1940 mentioned below. The stand has a mirror that rotates on a arm to where the IR is located (on the side on this device). You don't need to lay it flat in landscape mode (which an ipaq 1935 doesn't naturally have) or anything like that. The CD-Rom contains drivers for both 2002 and 2003 operating systems. No other downloads are necessary or encouraged.

Clearly, the design has been improved.

The stand that holds the PDA is not sturdy enough to stay upright in a car crash or on horseback but I see nothing wrong with it. The keyboard may have larger or smaller keys than other designs but there's hardly a learning curve, you get used to it quickly. It allows me to type quickly and accurately.

Anyone using a compatible device that doesn't seem to work should take a good look in the mirror not at themselves, but at the one on the PDA stand. IR means light, so proper alignment is central to good performance. It swivels, it extends, it just takes a bit of common sense.

So, to sum up: the age of the reviews below indicate the keyboard must have been updated, because all the drivers are there and no strange instructions are provided or needed. It works, it's cheap, it lets you type on your PDA.

.

I took the keyboard out of the box, installed a AAA battery (which is supposed to last 360 hours i.e. 45 days of steady typing), then installed the keyboard software on my Sony Clie SJ22. I got it working with the Palm-based word processor WordSmith within 10 minutes. There is no quick start document so you must install the software and manual and print it out. It is about 70 pages and covers all the function keys, installation, etc.

The instructions are a little vague about initial setup. You cannot just position the keyboard anywhere but rather there is a stand that allows you to place your PDA almost vertical and then you must adjust the mirror so that your PDA can receive the signals from the IR light on the keyboard that is above the 5 key. Don't worry if the IR light bulb on the keyboard does not appear to be on. Infrared light is not visible to the naked eye.

Once the unit is set up you press both of the shift keys at the same time and if and when the PDA receives a signal, it displays a small red icon at the bottom of the screen. If you don't get the red icon, reposition the mirror and/or the PDA stand. Once you see the red icon, you are ready to type. However, you can't be moving the stand or the PDA around or you can lose the connection.

If you ever find you can't get the connection, make sure to go into the keyboard software and enable the keyboard. I pressed the function key combination to rotate the screen and since WordSmith does not support rotation, the unit froze and the Belkin keyboard software (on the Clie) was not enabled after the reset so I went back and enabled it and it was okay.

There is no need to pound the keyboard. You can just touch the keys and they respond nicely. I use my right thumb but you can also use your left thumb for a space. I have fairly large hands but am quickly getting use to the keys. I would say I can type about 80-85 % as fast as I can with a regular keyboard. With a little practice I am sure I will be close to 100%.

The keys and their placement is much the same as the standard QWERTY keyboard but of course all the keys are a little small. As with other keyboards, the F and J keys have small protrusions which allow you to find the home keys without looking.

The space bar is split down the middle, which gives your two space bars.

Each key is about 1/2 " by 1/2 ". The unit (unfolded) is 10 ½ by 3 ¾ and a little more than ½ inch thick. It folds in half to 5 ¼ inches long and weighs in at about a½ a pound, however, that does not bother me as It feels quite sturdy.

There are 4 special shortcut keys on the right hand side which bring up the TODO the ADDRESS and APPOINTMENT Calendar and MEMOS

Together with the Function key, these keys also give you Find, Home, Calculatir, and the drop down menus from the application you are in. If there is more than one drop down menu you can use the arrow keys to navigate through them.

There are also many other keys that work together with the function key and which are accessed by pressing the FN key + one other keys which do the following: DONE, DELETE, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, CANCEL, OFF, OK and TODAY/NEW and a few other things.

The combination FN + * toggles the Clie's screen between mono mode and color.

The keyboard comes with a three year warranty which is quite impressive.

I also want to point out that before I purchased this unit at amazon.com, I sent a note to Belkin technical support to ask them if the Sony Clie SJ 22 was compatible with their keyboard as someone had posted a review saying it was not.

Support emailed me the next day and said it was compatible, and that the person who wrote the review must have had the wrong driver.

I don't think that was her problem. The stand and he mirror must be set up properly. A battery must be put in. Software must be installed on the PC and then synced to put the keyboard software on the PDA. I used the software that came on the CD Rom that came with the keyboard.

There are a few drawbacks that may or may not be unique to the Sony Clie.

1) The caps lock seems to go on from time to time and I am not sure whether that is because I am inadvertently touching it by accident or not.

2) Every now and then a key starts repeating but if you press any key when it does this, it will stop the repeating. This may be the fault of the WordSmith program. In fact both may be, I am not sure.

(Downloading and installing the latest driver did not correct these two anomalies).

I give it 4 stars because of the 2 drawbacks I mentioned above. I can live with them because the only thing I need my stylus for anymore is to run a non standard Palm program.

Belkin's website documentation is wildly out of date and muddled so it was difficult to know if this keyboard would work with an Axim X51V PPC with ActiveSync 4.2 and WM5.0. But, after a lot of effort, I found it did. (I downloaded the Windows CE 2005 driver). Belkin have really shot themselves in the foot over all this...

Although the PPC stand is very flimsy (the Stowaway one looks much better, and apparently has a better arrangement for beaming) the Belkin has the great advantage of a proper row of number keys at the top. It's a neat little keyboard, and all in all I am very satisfied. Leaving aside the compatibility list and driver problems, I can't understand what all the whingeing is about.

I'm using this keyboard with a Zodiac that defaults to portrait mode and it works fine. It's VERY compact and portable, tho, some sort of slip case would have been a nice touch. Battery life on a Zodiac is definitely shortened so, be sure to disable the keyboard drivers when you're not using it. I even managed to find free third party Dvorak layout drivers for it.

Sharp Zaurus SL-5600 PDA

Sharp Zaurus SL-5600 PDA
  • Linux/Java-powered handheld computer with 64 MB ROM, 32 MB of RAM, and 400 MHz Intel processor
  • High-resolution color reflective TFT screen with support for over 65,000 colors
  • Integrated QWERTY keyboard that slides out from bottom of handheld
  • Listen to MP3 or watch MPEG video; includes stereo headphone jack
  • What's in the box: Zaurus SL-5600, Handheld device, EA-70S AC adapter, Docking station (USB), Power cord, Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery, Stylus, Display protection cover, CF slot-protection card

I've been using Palm PDAs for about five years now and wanted to upgrade to something new. I had seen the Zaurus 5500 and was going to purchase one before I heard that the 5600 was being released. The 5600 is fast, applications load quickly and the OS seems to be very stable. I haven't had anything crash yet. Setting up wireless networking with a CF card is trivial, plug the card in, run the network config application and type in your WEP key and you're on the net. Surfing with Opera is excellent, you can zoom in and out on web pages and I haven't found any pages that it won't display. I have yet to try the Hancom applications for reading and writing Word and Excel docs but everything else works very well. Now I just need to find an SSH client for it and I'll really be in business.

My first PDA was the Zaurus 5000D (developer version of this 5600). I really wanted to like it but it was limited on space for installing apps and I had trouble synching it with my Outlook. But enter the 5600... as soon as I heard it announced I had my eye on it and finally broke down and bought it. What a dream! Straight out of the box I plugged in my Linksys CF WAN card and in no time I was connected to my wireless network and surfing the net with the pre-installed Opera browser. I even checked and sent email. For about $ I was able to enter complete geek-dom and downloaded tkcJabber, an instant messenger package that connects to AIM, MSN, IRC and Yahoo chats. (this and many free software for the Zaurus are available at [website].) And within minutes I was chatting online as well.

The true test was then the synching feature. I installed the Intellisync software on my machine from the CD that came with my Zaurus, plugged in the docking station, put my Zaurus on there and hit the synch button. It all Synched without one problem! What a breeze!

The battery life on the 5600 is much improved over the 5000D and the 5500. Other things I love about the Zaurus: I can read and edit Word and Excel documents on it; can view PowerPoint presentations; the sliding QWERTY keyboard is convenient and, although it looks small and hard to use, it really is quite handy and easy to use. I also like the fact that you can use a compactflash card (CF) and/or a SecureDigital (SD) card. I could list more but I think my word limit is about up for this review! Bottomline: Highly recommend!

This device is almost perfect for the linux user who wants something smaller than his\her laptop. In order to appreciate this device, you really have to like linux. If you have never used linux, dont bother, get yourself an M$ windows pda.

If you're like me and love linux, you'll love the zaurus. You can get virtually all main stream linux apps for it (gcc, make, apache, mysql...the list goes on and on). I especially like that fact that it has a java runtime, and with the addition of compiler (try ibm's Jikes compiled for zaurus) you have a pocket java development environment.

The fact that it has CF and SD slots means you can have your wifi and your extra storage in at the same time, which is a great plus.

The fold out keyboard is slightly slower than a full size, but still light years ahead of stupid handwriting recognition on other devices (although the z has that too)

There are tons of different roms availible, from sharp and others. One that fixes the pxa250 cache errata is definatly required, as you may have heard this is a bug which affects performance. But if you flash with a special kernel it fixes this bug and allows you to clock the device up to 471 mhz! NICE!

The Only thing I would add to this device is a built in DOWNSTREAM usb port, so that you can plug in usb devices. A Compact flash Usb card is availible from ratoc (for $150). I bought that too and now i can connect external HD's, Gamepads, Keyboards, Extra Wifi's, and maybe even printers or cd burners.

While Pocket PC Users can say things like "my Ipaq is LIKE a pc!" The zaurus user can say "my zaurus IS a PC".

There really isnt anything you cant do on the zaurus since its a full linux OS.

I would whole heartedly reccomend this product to EVERY linux user

I've been looking for a replacement for my Visor Platinum for a while now, and this one caught my eye. Aside from the fact that this model carries a faster processor and a longer lasting battery compared to the 5500, the size of the unit "may" look identical from the face, but the extended battery comes with a small price. The back of the unit sticks out slightly to accomodate for the larger battery. It's still one of the most feature rich PDA's out there with a pretty impressive onboard speaker and microphone. Transferring files to the CF or SD memory cards is pretty "clunky" so purchasing a 6-in-1 type reader is the best way to go if you want to transfer larger files. The box itself includes the Zaurus + a removable clear flip top similar to the old Palm III, a usb sync cradle, a laptop style ac adapter which can be used independantly of the cradle, a stylus, sync software, and manuals.

I have had the Zaurus for 2 days. This device is simply amazing. Just a few things to mention

1) WI-FI support, I just plugin my Linksys wireless CF card, and it worked, on Pocket PC, I had to install software.

2) The wirelsss connection and the browser work great. On Pocket PC, the buggy MS software frequently quit working for no reason, and I had to reset the Pocket PC unit. The Linux based Zaurus is rock soild.

3) The USB syncing is reliable. The Pocket PC won't even work via the USB hub, you have to connect it directly to a USB port. Furthermore, activesync frequently stops working, and I had to reboot both the PC and PDA.

Now let me tell you something I have done:

1) installed OpenSSH onto the unit. After that, I leave the unit downstairs, upstairs using a notebook I wirelessly sshed into the PDA, it's just another UNIX server, at the bash promopt, I use wget to download a bunch of files from the net, including PERL, APACHE, and MYSQL. MySQL is only a few hundred kilio bytes, I created a few tables and run some SQL queries. Great!

2) Installed a VNC server on the PDA, then on my PC I use vncviewer to connect to the PDA, the PDA screen shows up on the PC, and I can remotely operate it via its GUI interface.

On the net, I found all sorts of applications ported to Zaurus, even including things like XFfree86 and Courier-mail server. Maybe we should do some web and mail benchmarking on this 400MHZ device.

In conclusion, this PDA is a true Linux machine with a small keyboard and screen that can be put in your pocket, you can use it to listen to mp3, browser web or serve web and email.....or whatever open source.
