Buy Full Housing for Blackberry Curve 8520 Now

This was the worst product I have ever purchased on amazon, the colour I ordered was Black however I received a white housing, the housing does not even fit correctly, the screen was defective so I currently have to use my old screen so their is a obvious colour mismatch, the camera button does not work at all , the mute button only works sometimes, the buttons colour started to peel off after a while, the logo completely disappeared.

I contacted the company and however no action has been taken they even stop responding to my emails, even sent a message to them using amazon no relief, if I did not live in Antigua I would have shipped the crap back, but the shipping or even the stamp has more value than this product. Do not I repeat do not buy this product. If I could give it 0 stars I would have.

Topscan Scanner Reading Pen, Handheld Pen Scanner Text Scanner and Text Reader, Scan Text Directly t

Topscan Scanner Reading Pen, Handheld Pen Scanner Text Scanner and Text Reader, Scan Text Directly to the Computer with Extra Features Great Gift
  • TopScan www.text-scanner.com , simply slide the TopScan Handheld scanner over the printed text
  • scans 1000 words per minute
  • free features such as Text to speech: you scan the computer will speak, and free language support.
  • With the text-to-speech (TTS) feature included with TopScanTM you can scan a word or sentence
  • Scans formulas, hand-writing or foreign texts in their original style and appearance

I bought this scanner to replace a spare Ectaco C-Pen 20 Handheld Scanner that had hit the floor one too many times. The scanmarker is much cheaper less well built, and the actual OCR (Optical Character Recognition) function is pitiful in comparison to the CPen. The one function which does make great sense and works well is the text to speech which allows you to scan chunks of text and to hear whether the text has made it in OK. Unfortunately, the OCR itself is so bad that any time saved by the text to speech function is lost due to the extensive corrections which must be made to the scanned text for it to be readable.

AMAZING UPDATE: I was contacted by the founder of Topscan on 2.14.11 in response to this review! The problems I experienced are a known issue which the company is in the process of resolving. The problem is that if you scan too much text, the "buffer" gets full and the algorithm does not work well. This explanation precisely matches the issues I was having. The first two or three lines would always scan perfectly, but then a bunch of garbage would seep in making the rest of the scan unusable. If you only scan a few lines at a time or scan slowly, this product will work well for you, and it is much more affordable than the CPEN.

I bought this scanner and found it to be a fantastic product and great value for money. I previously have owned a similar scanner which cost more than 3 times the price and called cpen and found this to be much better and easier to use.

It is now over a year since I purchased this product and due to my business and study needs use it every day. I take it every day to the office and scan documents wherever they are without the need to bring them to a scanner. I highly recommend this to anyone which needs easy or heavy scanning. Very reliable amd credible. I especially use the text to speech feature which reads out loud e ery wrd I scan. Super cool!!!

This review originally appeared in the other listing for Topscan ScanMarker product.

************************************************************************************

I've owned this device for 10 days now. I purchased it because of 1) the price and 2) the high praise it had received elsewhere on the net.

Unfortunately for me, it has worked a total of ten minutes. You heard correctly, 10 minutes, if that long.

I received the item from Amazon on Friday afternoon (7/15). I installed the software that came on the disk on Monday (7/18). From the start, the installation told me that one of the .dlls installed from the disk was not meant to work with Windows and that I should contact someone for help.

Being an enterprising person, I went to the Topscan site and downloaded the updated software and installed it. Everything seemed to install correctly. I was able to open the software application. I was able to connect the device and I thought: "This is good!"

Unfortunately, when I tried to actually scan something into a Word document, all I kept getting was a message that the device reported an error. It didn't even scan an image of what I was trying to copy!

At that point, I contacted the support people at Topscan. To their credit, someone did contact me trying to get more information to troubleshoot my problem the same day.

In the interim, I restored my system to a point before I had installed the software from the disk accompanying the scanner and had installed the new (downloaded) software and at that point, the scanner worked for a bit, until I disconnected it from the USB port. You see, I was traveling and only had 3 USB ports available. So, I made the fatal mistake of disconnecting the ScanMarker device from the USB port that it had been connected to.

A day later, I in my naivette, I plugged the device back into a USB port again expecting that it would work. Much to my chagrin, the only thing that worked was the error message telling me the device reported an error. This was early on Friday (7/22) and I reported the problem with the ScanMarker device. This timeI made sure to send the supporting information that support had requested earlier. Today is 7/25 and I have not heard from anyone at TopScan support.

Needless to say, I am sending this item back to Amazon. I am not spending $80 for a piece of useless equipment. I am going to purchase a competitor's product.

In case you are interested, this item was installed on a HP dv4 notebook with Windows 7, 64-bit OS and 4 GB of installed RAM. The drivers do not report a problem on the device manager.

************************************************************************************************

Update on review 8/1/11

It took a couple of weeks but the support people at Topscan worked on my problem and fixed it. As it turns out, the CD shipped with the product was defective and it corrupted the driver for the scanner. Deleting the installation and re-installing the updated software did not fix the problem.

Through the persistence of the person in support I worked with (yes, during the whole time I worked with a single individual. How neat is that?)they were able to get a solution for me. It entailed deleting the driver from the Device Manager and reinstalling it manually. Since then, I've had no problems with the scanner.

I give Topscan the company five stars for their top-notch support. Note that they are shipping updated CDs to all their resellers.

So why only 4 stars? Because the scanner itself still seems to have some problems with character recognition. It could be "pilot error" in my handling of it. But it is seems to be quite picky about the speed that is used and the kind of contrast that the page being scanned has as well as the type.

I use it for capturing material resulting from research to be used in papers and other written materials and would like to have 100% accuracy. Maybe that is not possible, however, I do think there is some room for improvement in the results I am getting. That is why only 4 stars.

********************************************************************************************************************

Update on review: 5/4/12

Well, after the fix on my old laptop, the pen worked well...until I decided to get a new laptop. I now have an Asus i7-2640M processor with 8GB of Ram and still running Windows 7 64 bit OS.

I, again thinking that this hardware would install, downloaded the newest version of the software from the Scanmaker website. Tried to install and am getting a fatal error message that there is an access violation at xxxx address in module 'DetectScanner.exe'. I've written to support again but have not heard anything.

Think I am going to take my loses and buy something else.

Product is probably the best out there for the money but is not very easy to use. I wanted to order this also for my special ed kids, but this product is too hard to use.

My hands even with a highlighter is never straight. Also if I lower the speed the scanner does not recognize the words. The image feature is one line at a time so pictures are not possible or visualized well. I can not really use it for what I had anticipated.

Scanmarker has become an indispensable tool for my research work. I check out many books from interlibrary loan and from my university, and the ability to scan in notes has been a real time saver. I highly recommend Scanmarker to my students as well, making sure that they include all the essential citation information with all scanned entries. It's been very helpful.

PS410(with micro4GB included)600DPI Colour & Mono HandyScan Handheld Scanner

PS410(with micro4GB included)600DPI Colour & Mono HandyScan Handheld Scanner
  • Scanning Resolution up to 600 DPI, 600/300 dpi, color/monochrome scan selection
  • Built-in Realtime Scanning Detector to avoid distortion; Over-speed alert to control scanning speed
  • Save JPEG file directly to micro SD card or via USB port, Driver free to download for Windows 7 / Vista / XP and Mac OS10.4 or above
  • Very compact, travel friendly. Good for scanning documents, books & pictures up to A4 Size
  • Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software included

I like this scanner. Previously I had cannon flatbed scanner, but recently I install Win7 for which Cannon doesn't want to update drivers, so I had to pick another device.

Biggest downside for PS410 is that it will not scan all the way to the edge of the page since scanning light is 1", 0.5", 0.75" and 0.25" away from the edge of the device, and scanner will not scan if rollers don't spin. Most books have 0.25" from the text to the edge of the page. As a result, to scan everything on the page

Wizcom QuickLink SuperPen

Wizcom QuickLink SuperPen
  • Fully portable hand-held scanner
  • Scans full lines of text in 8 languages
  • Stores up to 1,000 pages of text
  • Memory upgrades and language dictionaries available
  • Expandable with Quicktionary II translation capability

The product description glosses over the problems you may encounter trying to connect this thing to your PC. It only supports a male 9-pin serial port. If you do not have one, you need to buy an adapter. Even then, you may be unpleasantly surprised. I bought a 9to 25-pin serial adapter at Radio Shack only to burn an hour trying to set it up, and finally found, deep on the company web site, an explanation that it would only support a male 25adapter. Now I have ordered a $20 +$5 shipping USB adapter off the Wizcom website. (Don't be fooled by the "optional USB" nonsense in the product description. It is optional in the sense that you can buy the $20 adapter later, after wasting half a day wading through the poorly documented material.) I feel that this company has been deliberately vague about the issues a customer is likely to encounter in setting this thing up. Oh, and I forgot to mention the UI's on both the pen and the desktop are wack.

I purchased this product because I read and pull citations from many scientific articles and texts and put them in a bibliographic citation database.

The WizCom SuperPen definitely has a learning curve, but I found it to be short. I estimate that I'm getting approximately 98% accuracy now scanning articles with very unusual word content (paleoclimatology). This rivals the accuracy when I type these same references and is much quicker.

The SuperPen makes some demands on the user.

1. The pen must be held at a fairly steep angle to the page; 80 to 90 degrees seems to work best.

2. Accuracy seems to increase if you switch to left-handed mode so that the scanner head is looking into the upcoming text

3. A constant speed seems to work best, but there is little difference between given speeds.

4. The user must develop a consistent method of moving the scanner parallel to the lines of text. The largest error rate occurs when the scanner head is skewed or the path of the device is at an angle to the line of text.

I did discover one little idosyncracy. When the system is powered on, it tries to open the last file which you were editing. If that file is very large, the pen times out before the file is loaded. That behavior can be by-passed by holding down the Escape button as the power is turned on, thereby activating the main menu. At that point, go to the option which permits a longer time-out period and set it to some higher number. That is the only real problem which I have had so far.

I actually bought this as a gift for my wife, but have seen it in action now and am amazed (she loves it, too). The OCR picks up all but the most subtle characters, and the user interface is really smooth.

The PC software for import from/export to the pen is straight-forward and works well (even with the supplied serial adapter).

In overall value, I rate this an excellent product.

Want Wizcom QuickLink SuperPen Discount?

Once receiving my pen, I spent at least 1 hour getting acquainted with it, the manual and its functions. I highly suggest spending at least some time with it so that you are comfortable with it before putting it to actual use. For me, I found that scanning from right to left was best and just got a kind of familiarity with the device. I found the pen to have over the 95% accuracy suggested by Wizcom after I had spent a little time with it.

However, it did not connect to my computer. I contacted tech support and found that he was extremely quick to respond, even after 6pm. I was very impressed. I had a few problems to be sorted out, but the most frustrating one was that I had not clicked on "turn the pen communications on." He never thought of it, and I happened to stumble across it. So if you have issues, check that every time you start the software. Now, everything works wonderfully.

In addition, I bought this pen because I have a significant learning disability and it takes me a very long time to both read and take notes. I find that this pen truly speeds up the process and makes my life a lot easier.

Despite following the step by step procedure to download the dictionary from my pc, a message "cannot establish connection" is always prompted in the pen. I read from one review that a cable adaptor was required which they purchased seperately. Could this be the same problem I am facing? If so, why did they not mention it anywhere in the book or in their ads? I would greately appreciate some help or advice here.

EveCase Pink Folio PU Leather Protective Cover Case with Built-in Stand + Clear LCD Screen Protector

EveCase Pink Folio PU Leather Protective Cover Case with Built-in Stand + Clear LCD Screen Protector + USB Cable + Car Charger + Travel Charger + Black Stylus for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Android TouchScreen TabletThis case worked great with my Samsung Galaxy Tab. It protects it, and you can use all inputs, and cameras with the case on. Seller was very good and case and accessories came quickly.

I bought this mainly for the cover. It came exactly on time. Was what I expected and am very pleased with the product. The accessories were an added bonus for the price!

The case was for my 5 year old daughter so she would not break the Galaxy tab! Over all its a good product, It would have been nice to have a little elastic to hold the tablet in place better. It slides down so when you want to use the camera you have to realighn it in the case. Overall for the money a very good product. I have not had to use the chargers yet for it as I have been using the ones that came with the device.

WILL NOT stand up, flips over instantly, again, poor design of the case. Also, when open, very awkward feeling, as the cover doesn't lay flat behind, so to use the strap it doesn't feel secure using only one hand. Not comfortable to hold in left hand either. Although, this is NOT the fault of the seller, just a VERY POOR DESIGN. Screen cover is impossible to apply without having air bubbles and dirt and\or dust particles underneath no matter how good you clean the surface. The tablet kinda fits inside the space provided although, be sure the camera is not obscured as it likely will cause it's so flimsy to hold on to. The crease of the front cover is very cheap acts as the base for the stand, which promptly falls over immediately. POS!!!!

The chargers are handy. The case fits but will not stand up when set up. The weight of the tablet seems to make it topple over. It does protect the unit, though.

Premium Reusable LCD Screen Protectors 12 Pack for Apple iPod Touch iTouch 8GB 16GB 32GB 2nd Generat

Premium Reusable LCD Screen Protectors 12 Pack for Apple iPod Touch iTouch 8GB 16GB 32GB 2nd Generation
  • lear, ultra thin and durable. Custom designed to fit your iPod Touch
  • Shield and protect your LCD screen from unwanted scratches.
  • Quickly and easily adhere directly to your screen.
  • Non-adhesive backing, will not leave sticky residue.

These are some of the best iPod-Touch screen protectors I have ever used. They are easy to apply, remove, clean, and re-use. If they are applied correctly, you cannot tell they are on your iTouch (2nd or 3rd Gen) unless you look very close at the outer-most edges, otherwise, they are practically invisible (most protective cases cover that outer edge anyway, so no one will ever know and you'll forget about it a few minutes after putting your case back onto your iTouch). Very happy with my purchase.

Buy Premium Reusable LCD Screen Protectors 12 Pack for Apple iPod Touch iTouch 8GB 16GB 32GB 2nd Generat Now

I was looking for good screen protectors, mainly looking at more expensive ones. But since I was already paying a lot of money to get the touch, I settled for this one since it was so cheap. I don't regret my choice.

This screen is very easy to apply. The first time I tried, it already looked pretty good, but my OCD made me take it off and try it again to align it perfectly. And so after two tries and about ten minutes (most of which was actually spent cleaning the ipod screen), I had a nice clear screen protector on my ipod! You can barely tell that it's there at all. Most of my friends with touches have to ask me if I have a protector on because they can't see it. This also doesn't leave any residue when you take it off.

Some cons are that it doesn't feel as smooth as the actual touch screen, and that it scratches about once or twice a month. But that's why you get 12 of them! And it's still infinitely better than that scratch being on the real screen. And the smoothness issue goes away after a day or two of use. Another thing is that fingerprints get left on it very easily, but you can pretty easily get rid of them by wiping it off with your shirt.

The cleaning cloth that's included isn't very good. I would suggest using regular eyeglass cleaners or just the t-shirt you're wearing.

Premium Reusable LCD Screen Protectors 12 Pack for Apple iPod Touch 1Touch 8GB 16GB 32GB 2nd Generation

Very pleased with this product which arrived quickly. These protectors were so easy to apply and it will be a long time before I use all 12 of them. Each one comes individually wrapped with a small cleaning paper included.

Although it specifies that these items are for the 2nd Generation iPod Touch, I have a 4th Generation and they are quite satisfactory after I use a hole puncher to accommodate the Facetime camera lens. I am sure they can be used in all generations of iPOD Touches.

Why pay more for protective screens when these are so inexpensive and certainly serve the purpose so well?

Want Premium Reusable LCD Screen Protectors 12 Pack for Apple iPod Touch iTouch 8GB 16GB 32GB 2nd Generat Discount?

First off this product received two stars despite the fact that there are 12 of these. For someone who uses their ipod touch everyday and always has their hands on it, the material will be a negative. The fact that the seller used premium in the title of the product is far fetched. After touching it for a while, me and my girlfriend both noticed that the the screen would become slick from fingerprints and we constantly have to wipe off the screen. I never experienced this with any other screen protector I ever had so when I seen that the price for 12 of these were so cheap I thought what could go wrong as long as they fit. But you learn from experience, next time I decide to purchase screen protectors I will ignore the price and read reviews. The shipping was faster than Amazon predicted though.

Good quantity at a good price; however, you get what you pay for. They're hard to put on, and they bubble a lot right in the middle when you're done putting it on. Not terrible, but there's DEFINITELY room for improvement.

Orientex 2.4GHz USB Wireless Handheld Keyboard with Multi-touch TouchPad, Laser Pointer - White

Orientex 2.4GHz USB Wireless Handheld Keyboard with Multi-touch TouchPad, Laser Pointer - WhiteFor the price this is a solid 5-star item. I've tried a few less functional variants but all had issues, like no function keys, no back-lighting and clumsy "mouse" use. The Orientex device gets a thumbs up in all those areas, and it's light and well-designed . This is a very good deal.

Let me say it straight out: this is one amazing device. The size of your average Blackberry 8000-series, it has worked seamlessly with Win XP SP3, Win 7 /64 Ult, Mac OS X.6 and best of all, XBOX 360 with the small USB plug-in dongle.

Has just about all the functions of a standard PS/2 keyboard, with a warm light orange/amber backlight option (looks amazing on the white keyboard with black/blue lettering). It also has a laser pointer, and 2-step ctrl-alt-del access (fn+enter key). Additional full function features include 10 function keys (F1-10), page up/down, tab, esc, multimedia playback control (works with YouTube/Netflix videos), volume control, and mouse left/right click buttons.

An included mini-USB cable charges the device in a few hours, and I haven't had to recharge it yet after ~8 days of use.

So why only 4 stars? This might be nitpicking, but the trackpad is sloooow. With a widescreen display, the only way to speedily go from one to another is repeatedly swiping your finger. A touchpad configuration driver, a la the Synaptics systems found in laptops would make this device 5-star and amazing.

We R Memory Keepers Paper Craft Stylus Tool

We R Memory Keepers Paper Craft Stylus ToolI don't care for the Stylus's that come with the score boards I have and someone recommended this one....and it is superior to any of the others...

I bought this to use in the Martha Stewart Score Board. I had a huge issue trying to use the bone folder included in that score board without cutting through the paper. This stylus is the answer. I no longer have to worry about how much pressure I put on the tool and I know it won't cut the paper. You do have to use to smaller head to use it in the Martha Stewart Score Board. Be warned it does not store in the provided spot for the bone folder in the regular size board. However, this is because of the curvy grip and I think that is well worth it not being able to store with the board. Great product and it should be the product coming with the Martha board.

Texas Instruments 94327 Ti Graphlink USB

Texas Instruments 94327 Ti Graphlink USB
  • Enables software downloads and updates from the internet
  • Lets you store programs and data on your computer
  • Includes TI Connect Software CD and TI Connectivity Cable
  • Compatible with TI-73 Explorer, TI-83, TI-89, TI-92, and Voyage 200

Because it is USB, it does not work eith TI-Graphlink software. Don't get me wrong the Graphlink software isn't great, but it is much more powerful than TI Connect. Plus you can use both TI Connect and TI-Graphlink software with the serial cables. The graph link software is rather clunky, but much more reliable than ti connect.

Buy Texas Instruments 94327 Ti Graphlink USB Now

I saw the previous post regarding a customer who stated he had no problem using this cable with his TI-86. I was hesitant because he didn't state which operating system he was using. I can now confirm that this cable will work with Windows XP. Make sure to use the TI-Connect software and NOT the TI-Graphlink software! VERY IMPORTANT as only the TI-Connect software supports the TI-86 via the USB connection option. Make sure to download the latest version from the Texas Instruments (TI) website. As of 29 January 2007, the latest TI-Connect software version is 1.6. And you must have the Microsoft .NET Framework Windows Updates installed prior to installing the TI-Connect software. Last, but not least make sure you have the calculator turned on before connecting the USB cable to your computer!

It took Texas Instruments long enough to add support for the TI-86 to its TI-Connect software! I guess I can't complain as they did finally listen to their customer's complaints. Goodluck with whatever math course you have waiting ahead of you!

This is a good product, but the info on the page is wrong. It supports most TI Calculators for Mac but only,83,89, and 92 for windows based pc. I have a TI-86 and it will not work on my pc.

For TI-86 and 82 you need to order the serial cable instead of the usb.

Want Texas Instruments 94327 Ti Graphlink USB Discount?

The TI-89 is a great calculator but doesn't have some probability distribution software built in. This includes the binompdf and poissonpdf functions that are readily available on a stock TI-83+. (This applies to the original, black TI-89; not sure if the TI-89 Titanium has these installed standard or not)

Serial ports are nonexistant on Macs so you need this if you have one. Some people who wrote early reviews noted that the software didn't completely work with the calculators. With the TI-84 and other new calculators released last year an update of the graph link software was obviously needed, and I am willing to bet my old Mac Plus that it was tweaked to work smoother.

To my knowledge this supports every TI graphing calculator. This cable has come down significantly in price over the past four years and is worth buying over the serial one now.

They say it won't work with the TI-86, but it worked fine for me. Was able to access and download/upload files to my calculator no problemo.

Protective Vinyl Skin Decal Sticker for Apple iPod Touch 2G 3G 2nd 3rd Generation 8GB 16GB 32GB - Ho

Protective Vinyl Skin Decal Sticker for Apple iPod Touch 2G 3G 2nd 3rd Generation 8GB 16GB 32GB - Hot Flames
  • Add style to your 2nd or 3rd Generation (2G/3G) iPod Touch
  • Bonus! Free matching wallpaper
  • Quick and easy to apply
  • Removable, no sticky mess guaranteed!
  • Compatible with all iPod accessories (iTrip, the Dock, Speaker Systems, etc.)

We weren't sure what to expect buying this, thought it was going to be a "sleeve" of some sort to slip over the ipod. It isn't, it's simply a decorative sticker. Two stickers, actually, one for back and one for front. Unlike the implication of the picture, the stickers do not cover the screen (that would be absurd). It does not include a screen protector.

The stickers must be applied with care to make them 'straight'...they don't cover ALL of the visible exterior, so if they aren't straight, it shows.

My son enjoys having the coolest looking ipod on the block, thus the stars. however I had been hoping for something protective which this is not. I suppose it protects against scratches, but not against dings, water, drops, etc. (I use an Otterbox for my own for this purpose, but my son doesn't think that's cool looking enough.) We have not tried removing the stickers but they don't seem very "removable" to me unless I were to get at it with rubbing alcohol.

It's cheap, so probably worth what you pay for it, but just understand what you are getting: iPod/iPhone shaped stickers.

I did much research over two days to find the best card for a PCI Standard bus PC and found a number of reviews stating this was the best. There is much discussion whether or not these older PC's can even utilize anything over 128Mb cards but with so many good reviews, I purchased this one. The consensus is that the 512's are a waste of money. Someone stated in another review that you have to disable the old card first. You do it as follows: Start, Control Panel, System, Hardware, Device Manager, left click on the "cross" to the right of Display Adapters, right click on Graphics Controller (or it will be the only one listed), left click "disable," turn off PC, install new card, start PC, PC should recognize new hardware, download new software, update new software (there's new drivers since the 5/08 ones on the disc), go back to device manager and uninstall the old card if you want.

Before I did this the new card would not take, and all I got was a black screen upon rebooting the PC. I had to reinstall the old card and do the above procedure before I could install the new one and get it to work. Anyway the card works great, vivid colors, ok 3D graphics, more detail as advertised, and I can play all the non high end games I want. No more jerking performance, freezing up and crashing of games. This is great for the average person with only a PCI standard bus. It makes the PC acceptable. Whereas before, the old card gave barely minimal graphic performance.

Was looking for a PCI based video card and this one is perfect. Works great in a older DELL 2400 that I upgraded with this, memory, and a CD burner for my neice.

I would recommend this video card to anyone looking to upgrade an older PCI Based system.

My Nettop computer has Intel GMA 950 onboard graphics. I was experiencing poor quality video with a Dell 19 inch widescreen monitor. The text was blurred and it had some flickering at 1440x900 resolution. I tried everything to adjust it with no luck. This monitor also had video problems with a Mac using GMA 950 graphics. My Nettop only has 1 PCI slot, so I gave this card a shot. Wow, what an improvement! Both Digital and Analog outputs look great. It works great with Aero and it improved the Windows Experience Index for Aero from 2.0 to 2.5 with Windows 7. Windows 7 automatically detected it and I didn't have to do a Google search for missing drivers. The system seems more responsive now, maybe because of the GPU and extra 256mb of video ram? This card has lots of plus's: Low price, great video quality, DVI and VGA output, 256mb RAM, no noisy fan, it fits in a PCI slot, S video output and it works with dual screens too. The specs say it needs a 300 watt power supply, but I'm using it with a 250 watt power supply no problem. This thing works great as a budget video card upgrade. I agree with the other reviewers and give it 5 stars. I ordered this card from Amazon instead of Newegg because the shipping was cheaper.

The company I work for decided to upgrade a couple departments to dual monitors. I seached the web for something that would be compatible for our broad range of machines (from 4 years old to present). I also wanted something that would be compatible with Windows7 and 64bit technology as they are becoming more widespread. Out of the 20 ordered, 19 worked without a hitch. One of our older machines had trouble recognizing the card all of the time and occassionally complained of memory issues. Four computers of the exact same year and specs run the card with no problems.... I have not yet determined if it is the card or an unrelated issue. I would strongly recommend this card to anyone looking to upgrade computers with older Motherboards. I'm impressed to see that it works equally well with newer boards and operating systems as well. They are cheap and they work!

iGadgitz 'Portfolio Slimline' Black PU Leather Case Cover for Apple iPad 2. With Unique Lens Protect

iGadgitz 'Portfolio Slimline' Black PU Leather Case Cover for Apple iPad 2. With Unique Lens Protection System and Smart Cover Sleep Function + Screen Protector
  • Built-in flip stand function provides an ideal angle for viewing or typing.
  • Magnasleep Technology utilises magnets to secure the front cover and put your iPad to sleep
  • Unique felt lined camera lens protection system for rear facing camera. Magnetic clasp-free closure.
  • Contoured cut-outs designed to suit the specific needs of each control or port
  • Felt-lined leather/PU material gives your iPad a a stylish, slimline look.

As an iPad 1 owner, who recently acquired the new iPad (3), I wanted a case that was similar to Apple's original black, rubbery folio case. I also wanted protection for the rear camera lens glass on the new iPad.

This case is the closest I could find and it's "good enough". The rear camera is protected and the case adds little weight or thickness to my new iPad.

Although the case is listed as fitting the iPad 2, it works just fine with the new iPad. The magnetic closure/sleep mode doesn't work for me, but I didn't want that feature anyway I just wanted what I had for my first iPad, plus camera protection. Happy with this case.

Update, after 3 months the faux leather has cracked at the main "hinge point". Am now using a more expensive Moshi Concerti folio that offers protection for rear camera glass.

I love the case, my wife and I both got one, pink and one black. Her's works perfectly fine but my black one has a glitch where it turns off the display when opened all the way. (fron cover flat on the back) very odd. Again my wife's pink case, same company, works just fine she likes the case. And its a great price.

Turntable Phono Cartridge Stylus Alignment Protractor Tool Mirror

Turntable Phono Cartridge Stylus Alignment Protractor Tool Mirror
  • Lets an amateur do professional phono cartridge alignment.
  • Gives precise alignment for better sound and longer stylus life.
  • Made of durable 2mm ABS plastic with mirrored finish.
  • Allows you to precisely adjust your cartridge/stylus by providing clear bottom view and top view simultaneously.
  • Attractive blister packaging makes for a great gift.

ordered it and received it after i got my new cartridge and headshell. so, ended up using it to check my alignment after the fact. there are two points, A & B that you place your stylus on. small grids around those points makes for a busy visual against the mirrored backdrop. basically, i had to use my guide light and kneel down to the turntable to see where the stylus was in relation to the points. then, stand up to see how parallel my cartridge was against the grid lines.

easy to use, clear instructions, good concept and good results. my eyeball installation was close, this tool got me into perfect territory.

The mirror idea is really great. Makes it easy to find some sight-line where the angle of the cartridge is visable.

This protractor will work for those that prefer Baerwald alignment. The null points printed on the protractor are 2.6" and 4.76".

This concept product has been valuable in the market for many years. I purchased mine from Lyle Cartridges, now out of business. It has served in cartridge alignment all these years without fail.

The two specific points of tangency are different for my SME tonearm. Therefore, I use my tonearm's template for that point, instead of this product.

BUT ( a big but) I adjust azimuth visually with this ingenious template, with great help from the mirror surface. One merely looks from the front, to determine that the diamond and its own mirror image are in the same vertical alignment. Vertical azimuth is important for maintaining good stereo separation, and for better tracking of the treble notes.

It also serves admirably, instead of an LP record, for determining the Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA), while resting the diamond tip on top of its surface, as if it were an LP on the platter. One does not want the tonearm pivot to be too high, nor too low. The usual starting adjustment is "tonearm parallel" to the LP surface, with specific departures from parallel, according to personal preferences.

Always a pleasure to use this nifty tool. It also serves to see the underside of the cartridge and its little connecting cables when it is inconvenient to dismount the entire assembly.

WCI Quality Mini Handheld Wireless Presenter Keyboard With Touch Mouse Pad - For PC, Laptop, TV, Pre

WCI Quality Mini Handheld Wireless Presenter Keyboard With Touch Mouse Pad - For PC, Laptop, TV, Presentations. Meetings, Classrooms, Etc.Do not buy this product. It is useless for watching internet TV as it has no media controls, including volume. It is flimsy and cheap looking and feeling. It does not control your TV if you think this is some sort of universal remote, it is not. Do not waste your time, because if you do buy it and don't like it, THEY WILL CHARGE YOU ALMOST $10 TO RETURN IT. If I could give it 0 stars I would, instead, I am $10 poorer with no product because of this lousy company. Be warned. Do not buy.

It may not be the fanciest keyboard for heavier demands of use, but for something that is affordable within a budget that works, and works well, its very nice to have. Mouse control is smooth and the keyboard is manageable for normal use.

Very nice quality, love the materials incorporated in the build, and the keys do not make so much noise like others. Wonderful product. I am loving it!

The presenter is easily held and manipulated and paired very quickly to our TV, laptop, and serves as a replacement remote for our rooftop monitor.

The keys are in qwerty layout making typing second nature and the size is a bit larger than most researched.

The item is priced very well and serves many functions in a well thought out design.

Optoma PT105 REVIEW THE BEST PROJECTOR IN ITS PRICE RANGE IT IS GREAT FOR PLAYING GAMES DVDS AND BLURAY GREAT PICTURE PICTURE QUALITY AT 84 INCHES IT IS VERY CLEAR I HAVENT TRIED IT LARGER BUT IM SURE IT WOULD LOOK GREAT AT 120 INCHES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROJECTOR

Buy Optoma PT105, WVGA, 75 LED Lumens, Gaming Projector Now

Going into this purchase I was not expecting much knowing this was a not a high end HD projector but then again it's a fifth of the cost of a decent hd projector. I have had it just about two weeks and have tested it in a variety of setups. I first connected it to an XBOX 360 using a third party vga cable. There were no issues with ghosting or poor resolution. The only complaint would be that the color of some of the maps on MW3 looked a little dark which I suspect is due to the cheap third party cable used to connect to the projector.

Next I hooked up a PS3 using a 25ft Blue Rigger Hdmi cable purchased here. MW3 looked fantastic with no issues with dark color on the maps which lead me to beleive the problem with the XBOX 360 was the cable and not the projector. I also tested serveral Disney BluRays on the PS3 which looked fantastic as well.

Lastly I connected the projector to a Roku LT also purchased here and it looked fantastic as well streaming Amazon Instant Video and Crackle movies.

As for the other review stating a problem with the focus, I have had none, set it upon start up and it stayed in focus during use. As far as the other reviewer stating it not being HD, the native resolution is not however depending upon the connection it will upconvert the resolution up to 1080P. I suspect the problem with that reviewer was either the cable being used or improper setup of the resolution on the PC.

As a side note I have this projector projecting to a FAVI 72" 16:9 projector screen also purchased here. In conclusion this is a fantastic projector and is in my opinion well worth what it is selling for here on Amazon, I would have been happy if I paid twice as much. If your on the fence and realize this is not a top of the line HD projector, buy it you will not be dissappointed!

Read Best Reviews of Optoma PT105, WVGA, 75 LED Lumens, Gaming Projector Here

Optoma is one of the leading projector manufacturer in the world, and yet, I got one that is defective. When it arrived, everything was fine. In terms of projector performance, I agree with other reviewers, and even critic review from Projector Central. It a great little projector for a great little price, if it works. Sure it's a little difficult to focus, but I was surprised at the picture quality. Playing HD materials gives HD quality, regardless of what the native resolution may be.

Yet, at the day when I have it setup properly after calculating the distance, getting the projector screen, and testing with all available sources, it shut down on its own. It wasn't even 10 hours since I have first started using it. It refused to power on after that. I tried different power sources, different extension gangs, even direct wall connections, nothing worked. And since I imported this, I don't have local warranty, and to return it to Amazon will cost me more than the projector itself. Lucky for me, the local distributor/service center accepted the projector even though it was an import, but therein lies another issue. When the technician turned on the projector in the service center, it worked like a charm. I was flabbergasted. The technician told me to use a good 2-pin converter (my country Malaysia uses a 3-pin connector) and then went on to charged me USD 25 for that little amount of advice. I had no choice but to pay the money, which wasn't made known to me BEFORE he accepted the projector for service. Sure I could argue, but I was just glad the projector worked at that time.

I went on to buy a good converter as advised, and went home to test it. Worked like a charm. So I put it away. The next day, I had everything set up with the projector screen and sources and everything. I turned the projector on, and nothing. It played dead. No matter what I do, it just won't come on. So I paid that service fee and bought an expensive converter for nothing. I packed it away.

The next day I turned it on again, in my room, just to test, and it came on! I was thrilled! I set up everything, and brought the projector out to my living room. Connect it, turn it on, nothing. It played dead, again.

I have absolutely no idea what the hell is wrong with it. I have no idea how the hell to fix it, and I am definitely not going to bloody send it back to the service center so they can charge me again for something that they didn't do.

I also sent an e-mail to Optoma US, but they have not replied to me. It's probably because of the holiday season, so I'll give them a few more days. If I can't get this projector to work and no one from Optoma is going to help me fix this, I am never ever forever buying another Optoma projector ever again. Right now, I have a great little low cost projector when it works, and a very expensive paper weight when it doesn't work.

So for all international customer thinking about importing this projector, make sure your local service center will accept it, or at least you have ways to return the projector to Amazon for a refund.

As a conclusion to my review (more like my experience with the projector), I declare this projector F.U.B.A.R.

Thank you for reading. Hope it helps.

*Updated* January 3rd 2012

Found out that the problem was due to a faulty power adapter. Bought a compatible one from a local electrical shop and everything works fine. Still difficult to focus though. And the projector actually loses focus while in use. I experience this once in about 60 minutes.

More importantly, the support staff DID NOT REPLY to my e-mail at all. Guess my problem isn't really their main concern so long as my credit card had cleared the purchase. Optoma actually dares to ignore a genuine problem on their product, so guess what I'm gonna do? Ban for life. I will never ever buy another product from Optoma again. I will never recommend anyone to do so, and I will also never sell any Optoma products ever again (did I not mention that I own a company that builds home theaters for my clients? Well, I do.). So for those who are reading this review, choose another product. I know there are not many products that fall within this price range, but I'd suggest that you save up just a little more, and then go for a better projector. It will be worth the wait, and you will save yourself all the trouble. Trust me on this. I am speaking from experience. This projector isn't bad, really, just that the company that makes it is.

We bought this, in anticipation of paying for an Amazon prime membership, and streaming movies. I was sad to see that the kindle fire has no ability to hook up to this projector (the fault of the fire, not the projector) but it hooks up to my computer and to my husbands vizio tablet no problem! I was amazed to find that it even hooks up to the little dvd players that we let our younger kids watch their movies on. We already had a projector (with a bulb and very high res) that we use for dvd's and blue rays. But it was so old that it couldn't hook up to the computer.

I am happy to say that this projector is great. We set it on the table about 8 feet from the wall. Doesn't get hot. It's easy to plug in to the computer, and we are more than happy with the picture clarity. My older kids even like to plug their tablets into it and play games on the wall. My 3 and 5 year olds like to plug their little dvd player into it and watch dora ...even during the day! I was surprised that it would have enough brightness to show up? (I don't know that I would be thrilled to watch it during the day, with shades open, but I must say that it was clear enough to watch Dora the Explorer. But, way cool in the minds of my little ones, let me tell you! And no fighting over "who gets to hold the dvd player". It does get a little out of focus periodically, but the kids jump up and fix that!

We do like how portable it is! It doesn't feel as fragile as our older projector. I would never take our other "expensive bulb projector" out of the movie room and into the kitchen for the toddler. NEVER. But, this little optoma seems much less breakable, (heck of a lot lighter, I'll tell you that!)

The speakers work...but not well. But, it does have the ability to plug in speakers. (which we have done, and it works just fine) I'm a bit irritated by the bunch of wires, so am currently waiting for Amazon to send me a wireless "thing of a jig" that will enable us to hear the movie on the pre wired speakers on our living room ceiling :) Dora is about to get loud!

love it. We are very happy with our Optoma.

Great product. Great price.

I bought with lot of expectations but the projector stopped working after a week or so !! I'm not sure if this will be covered under the international warranty but i must say that i wasted my money on this product. Till it worked, it was fine and performed as claimed.

I advice you all to refrain buying this product !!
