rooCASE Neoprene Netbook Sleeve Case Cover for Lenovo 10.1-Inch Ideapad S10-3t 0651-85U Netbook Tabl
The only thing I do not like about this sleeve is the little plastic pockets sewn inside. They're supposed to be for memory card storage or something like that. But I wanted to put the screen facing the pockets (for a little extra padding) and was afraid the plastic would scratch my screen. It was easily solved by snipping the stitches holding the plastic and gently removing it. It took about a minute's worth of work and little effort.
I would highly recommend this sleeve to anyone who has an Iconia A500.

2nd Generation Audio FM Transmitter / Internet Music Adapter plus integrated Car Charger for the Mot
- Transmits clear and rich audio for over 30 feet while recharging your Motorola DROID
- Uses Digital PLL sound coding technology to maintain stable and high fidelity sound quality. Can operate between 88.1 to 107.9 MHz
- TipExchange tip included for your [DEVICE]. TipExchange technology (tip is included) protects investment with easy upgrades
- Quality backed by Gomadic Lifetime Warranty
- Optimized for use with Internet music services such as Pandora; Slacker; Rhapsody and more!
Driving, I frequently use internet radio or listen to podcasts while using the navigation GPS built in to my Droid. I was frustrated with barely hearing the built in speakers. The FM transmitter & charger works simultaneously as advertised, despite the other reviewer's comment. I am pleased with the functionality, and simplicity and the transmission sounds clear. The only weak link I can tell is possibly the cord leading to the phone. It seems a bit flimsy. I have not had any problems with it so far so it's probably just cosmetic.
Overall if you own a Droid and want to charge it while streaming Pandora to you're FM car stereo I would highly recommend this product.I have been using this product for about a week, in conjunction with the OEM Window Mount, to listen to Pandora and use Google Navigation while driving. So far the product appears to work very well and as advertised it charges the phone, and the sound quality is good when you set it to a clear station with no interference (much better quality than I was expecting for a FM transmitter, anyways). I would highly recommend this product for anyone else who like me has a Droid, but does not have bluetooth or an aux port on their car stereo.I own a Motorola Droid phone with Verizon Service.
I listen to talk radio and talk podcasts. I had been plugging in one ear bud while driving. It was OK but not great.
I live in Los Angeles and the FM band is pretty full. I found the cleanest area on the dial to tune the unit. I get a slight high-end hum, which is noticeable, but not a deal breaker. I found that I can minimize it by turning the volume up on the phone.
I was not crazy about the Droid charging pin sticking out about 3" with the adapter because of the way I mount my Droid on the windshield. Again not a deal breaker but it would have been nice if it didn't stick out so far.
Another use I found for the system is to plug in to the car's built in DVD player. Normally the kids in our carpools are rambunctious. With a Scooby Doo cartoon playing, I don't hear a peep out of them.
For me the unit was worth the price and I would purchase it again. My experience it that it works as advertised contrary to the #1 critical review. You can both listen to and charge your Droid phone.This item shipped quickly. I received it in 4 or 5 days. It does a good job broadcasting the music from my Droid to the car radio, but there is some hiss when you hit quiet parts of the music. I may eventually upgrade to a car stereo with an input jack, since that would greatly improve the quality of sound. This is still a good product and you can also use it as a car charger for your phone!the adapter works without any problems as long as you find a good frequency. a bonus is that transmits all audio to your speakers, so you can use it for voice calls too.

VoiceBooster Dual Tie-Clip Handheld Microphone with On/Off Switch for VoiceBooster (Aker) Voice Ampl
from a distance of about 10 inches OR LESS.
It is absolutely worthless on a tie where the clip should go; it does not pick up your voice.
When placed near your mouth it has very good sound. You just have to hold it, defeating the clip purpose.The microphone must be held close to your mouth to actually pick up sounds. Doesn't work when clipping it anywhere on your clothing. Disappointing. I wanted to be able to ditch the awkward headphones but this didn't solve that.Love this microphone. The on/off feature is what makes it so AWESOME!!! I use it everyday/all day in my classroom.

Both stylus and tether are too short to be really useful. That said, the thing works fine but waaay overpriced. Am using a stylus that I bought for a buck that is much handier.Read Best Reviews of BoxWave mini Capacitive NOOKcolor Stylus (Jet Black) Here
I was a bit concerned while ordering it, but it really does work well. It doesn't drag very well, but it clicks on most any spot perfectly. The cord is a bit short, but I plan to replace it with elastic. A great size, very compact and fits in my Nook Color case.Monday, April 7, 2014

- Handily formed as a pen to carry around
- Perfect for cold days when you don't want to remove your gloves

This is a very handy device. On one end there is a red and black pen and the other is a stylus to use on touchscreens. I use it on my iphone and my Kendall. I find it much easier than using my finger and especially more accurate. The tip is covered with a flexible rubber type material and does not scratch. I would definitely recommend this item.

HQRP 1000mAh Li-Polymer Rechargeable Internal Replacement Battery for Palm T3 / M550 PDA + Screwdriv
- HQRP 1000 mAh Ultra High Capacity, 3.7V, with Longer Runtime
- Li-Polymer Rechargeable Internal Generic Battery
- 100% compatible with original batteries and chargers
- CE and SGS-ISO-9001-2000 Approved.
- The Package also includes PDA Screen Protector; 200 days warranty.
The battery installation was tricky, but I found some good info online. The included instructions are not very useful because the photos are too fuzzy. It's better to search for "palm t3 battery replacement" and watch the video on YouTube. I found some good photos of the process on the SPUG forums and at pdainternalbattery follow the links from the Wikipedia article. I would include the links if it were allowed by Amazon's review guidelines.
The included phillips (+) screwdriver is necessary for doing the tiny screws in the T3. You'll also need a tiny slot (-) screwdriver to open the case, to remove the ribbon cable plug, and to remove the battery plug. A paperclip is useful for releasing the sliding cover from its track.
The screen protector is really nice. My T3's screen had some scratches, but the screen protector covers these, making the screen look perfect. You have to cut one side of the screen protector to make it fit the T3.
I carry my T3 around in this case. It works pretty well:
Fellowes DSU1HZBBP Neoprene Universal Pda Case
I hate the bulky charging cradle and AC adapter that come with the T3. I use this short USB charging and data cable. It works well for charging and sync'ing the T3 when it's still in the case:
EforcityData & Charging USB Cable for Palm (PalmOne) m500 / m505 / m515 / m125 / m130 / I705 / TUNGSTEN T / T2 / T3 / W / C /ZIRE 71
The T3 can read 2GB SD cards but can't write them. It can read and write 1GB SD cards. This one works well for me:
Transcend 1 GB SD Flash Memory Card TS1GSDCArrived promptly and holds a charge well. Was time to replace the original battery as the T3 was purchased in 2003. Little tough to get the unit open and install the battery. Everything is put back together and my Palm works like it is brand new. Would recommend for others.Great product at great price, prompt delivery, holding charge perfectly, big relief of the problem with my Tungsten PDA, could not wish for anything better.
Thanks to Amazon it's the only way for me to find anything I ever need in every imaginable application using their suggestions and users reaction to the product you are looking for and get new ideas for things you are not looking for at the time.After almost exactly seven years, the battery in my Palm Tungsten T3 PDA would no longer hold a charge. Despite mixed reviews for the seller, Osprey-Talon, I picked their replacement battery for a grand total of $6. It was so much less-expensive than other replacements (which run $20 and up), I figured that even if it was a bust, I'd be out only a few dollars.
Though I have over 50 years' on-and-off experience repairing electronic equipment, I worried that disassembling and reassembling the PDA would be an exercise in irritating fussiness. To my surprise, it was remarkably easy. Just take your time and don't rush.
The reason I've given only four stars is that I have no idea of the battery's useful life. My experience with third-party li-ion batteries (for an Olympus E-500 and Yaesu VX-5R) was terrible, with the batteries failing just a few months after purchase. (In both cases, the original batteries are still good.) When this battery fails (which could be tomorrow or ten years from now), "I shall return" and let you know. Until then, if you see no addendum, you can assume it's still chugging along.

eTrex Vista
- Garmin 0100024300 Etrex Vista GPS
I'd give the Vista five stars, but honestly it is a somewhat dated product. You'll need an adapter to connect it to a USB port, and it doesn't have the higher sensitivity of newer GPS units. But for the right price, this is a great option for a hiker, geocacher, or interstate driver.This GPS does not have a USB cord. It is totally obsolete and can not work with anything but an old PC. I would give it half a star if I could.I was very dissapointed when I recieved my Garmin GPS. I ordered a Garmin ETrek Vista which Amazon advertised for $89 which was an excellent bargin but when I recieved my gps, it was a generic which I could have bought for $69 at Home of Econcomy. Got the sorry sir from the company that shipped it but no bargining on the one I wanted or the one they sent me. They were good about sending me some prepaid UPS labels to sent it back to get my refund, which I had to travel 44 miles to the nearest UPS center but got things resloved. Not happy!!!

Unisen iPazzPort KP-810-18R Wireless Keyboard and Touchpad with Learning Infrared (IR) Remote Contro
Because I enjoyed the keyboard aspect of it, I decided to try out a very similar product: the Unisen iPazzPort KP-810-18R Wireless Keyboard and Touchpad with Learning Infrared (IR) Remote Control 2.4G RF Google TV CompatibleUnisen iPazzPort kp-810-18R which is very similar to the first, but has a touch pad. I purchased the product from an Amazon seller called Key to success. I received my order very quickly and it was packaged well. So far so good!
The product was awesome! In fact perfect! Not only does the keyboard work well, the touch-pad is great, the buttons are well designed, setup is as easy as it can be, and the IR learning remote is fantastic. This seemed to be just the product that I was looking for. Then after a week everything went south. For no apparent reason the lazer pointer button jammed and would not turn off. I was able to dislodge it with a sewing needle and was still committed to it being a great product. Then the next day the IR remote randomly stopped working. I would press a button and I would get a quick blink of the LED but then nothing. Touching a button would not do anything unless I took out the battery. Ok so maybe we are down to a 4 star review now. I was still enjoying the rest of the product.
Then the touch pad started working intermittently. Sometimes it worked great, and sometimes not at all. And then to top it all off, the battery stopped charging. How disappointing! All of the reviews of this product were great. Maybe I just got a lemon. These things happen. So I decided to contact the seller of the device (key to success)to request a return or exchange. My first contact was four days ago, and I got no response. My second contact was yesterday, and still no response. I would like to give this product another try, despite my concern that it might not last very long. This has all the makings of a great product. It's well designed, looks good, feels good, works well...for a while. If I am able to get in touch with the seller and get a replacement I will write another review. This should be a five star product all day long, but after breaking within a week, it's lucky to get two stars.Plug and play item the instructions to program the TV remote are very confusing.
These are the steps;
1. press TV key once and the press SET key for 2 seconds until green light comes up.
2.choose the key you want the remote to learn EJ: press power key once and press power key on the other remote (the actual TV remote) then the green light will flash 3 times letting you know it has learned the code. Repeat the process per each keyI've had this for about a week. For my HTPC setup, I had been using a wireless keyboard and a IR universal remote. The keyboard was too big, and I don't like having a separate remote. This seemed like it could cover everything in a single device, which it pretty much has. At first, I couldn't get it to connect reliably to the computer from more than five feet away. I moved the dongle onto a the end of a 10M long active repeater USB cable far from the computer and now everything works great. Surprisingly good reception even from outside the room.
It packs a lot of functionality into one little device. The touchpad and all the keys seem to work well, except that the mute button doesn't do anything on my Win7 system. The touchpad also is very responsive. I love that it is rechargable -no more dealing with dead batteries.
It would be nice if the IR side had more buttons. The vol up and vol down buttons require key combinations of the function key + F2/F3 -a little bit of a pain for something so frequently used. On the side of the device is a Page Up / Page Down button right where the pad of your thumb goes. It would be great if that were the vol button. However, the scroller on the trackpad makes a halfway decent volume adjuster for VLC. Also, the button to turn on the backlight is also a combination of function + F1; a backlight button really should be set apart from all the rest so it is easy to identify in the dark. This device also has a laser pointer which I covered with a piece of black electrical tape -don't want the kids pointing it at each others' eyes.
I think I might try using a keyboard remapper utility to change a few of the keys to be more to my preferred layout.
All in all, this was an excellent purchase. Well worth the money.I couldn't be happier! The seller "iPazzPort" recommended me this device in order to operate my PS3 and it works great. Also, it is the only one that works as a remote control for third party devices like TVs. It worked perfectly with my PC running Win7/64bits.
The only negative thing is that the user manual is very difficult to understand due to the poor English and grammar. The manual is also in Chinese, so I assume that the asian that wrote the Chinese part also wrote the English part.
Even with that, the product exceeded my expectations!This item works great and was exactly what i was looking for. I was never able to get the keyboard to sync with my TV/DVD player because the manual was essentially useless. For the functions of keypad/touchpad, it worked great.
