I live in an area (Indiana) that has just (3/2012) experienced devastating tornadoes. Many people died. You need to be able to monitor the local weather radars and weather updates in the area. When the power goes out or if you are on the run, information is vastly improved with the visual experience of a TV rather than hearing a voice over a weather radio. Those broadcasts are nearly always recorded and a short delay as to what is actually happening occurs.

You need that visual input that only live local television broadcasts can provide. This small TV has a sharp picture and is perfect for emergency use. It has a built in antenna, an external antenna jack and includes an external antenna, built in rechargeable battery that lasts about two hours, and is supplied with an AC adapter/charger.

One reviewer said you have to charge the battery in order to use the TV. Not true. It does charge faster when the TV is off, but you can watch the TV using the AC adapter, and you can watch while it is charging.

In bad weather season, you need to be vigilant and keep it charged. Just as you have to keep your emergency lanterns charged. I only gave the unit four stars because of it's tinny sound and sometimes the antenna is fickle in receiving a signal (blame digital broadcasts). This is common for all units of this size, though. I've had several. The speakers in these units are so small that a good tone is not possible. The included ear buds work well with the unit, and good sound is possible with that.

The tv works great. The picture quality is excellent. The reception is clear. It is very easy to use, but I do not know if there is a remote to go with it.

I received this television today , and already I am very impressed . I live in Homestead florida which is about as far south in flordia as you can go . Miami is thirty miles away from my house where all the television channels are . I went to the walmart parking lot in Homestead and did a scan for channels , I did not expect to receive one station that far away . Well I received 13 station not bad . This was said to be the exact television as the jensen by the guy who sold it on amazon ,I bought it for $40.00 plus shipping about $46.00 all together . The area I live in is flat with no hills , I have heard that hills and mountains block HD television reception and stations are not received . I am recharging the television now . I really wanted to see if HD television channels could be received where I live . I plan on going to biscayne national park here in Homestead and do a straight shot to miami across the bay . I should receive a lot more stations at biscayne national park ocean area .

I'm very happy with this TV. In a medium size city it scanned and found about 12 channels. Of these I blocked three because I would never watch them, and yes you can block channels in the menu. I read one review that wanted the ability to tune in a channels manually. This doesn't bother me, weak channels on digital broadcast are useless. Unlike old analog broadcast that you could tolerate, digital just breaks up into blocks on the screen or does come in at all.

Operation was very easy. Very few, if any, items I buys these days I can operate without reading the manual, let alone understand everything a device can do. But I can use this TV out of the box without the manual. I only checked the manual once to make sure I charged the battery correctly. Everything is straight forward. There are, however, two power buttons, one on top with the rest of the controls, and one where the power cord plugs in. Think of the one by the power cord as the "main" switch. You can place this in the off position so not to accidentally turn on the TV if the top button switch is hit, wearing down your battery,,, nice.

This comes with an external magnetic mount antenna. It wasn't clear to me in the description if this was the only antenna, but there is a built-in antenna as well. I had pretty much decided I didn't need the external antenna and would just use the built-in antenna. But being able to place the antenna outside picked up several more stations, even though it was less then 12 inches from the built-in antenna on the other side of a window. I now keep the extra antenna with me always. You wouldn't think it would make that much difference but it did for me.

Now for the power supply. A lot of you can skip this because you won't care. This is powered by 5 volts, 1500mA 7.5W. The battery is 3.7 volts, 2000mA. So the first thing I wondered is why this wasn't USB powered, which comes in just over 5 volts. So, yes you guessed it, I built a USB power cord for the TV. Of course it's important to check polarity (center post positive on this one) and amps/watts, but this was simple if you have a multimeter. I bring this up because now you can run the TV on an external USB battery (extending viewing time without a wall outlet), or leave yet another power adapter at home and use a UBS wall adapter. Some of my USB wall adapters/chargers don't have enough power to run the TV, but some do, for example my iPad USB charger at 10 watts can handle the job. Check the ratings on your power supplies.

This is a great little TV and it cost less, I paid just over $100 for the old analog color TV. It has larger screen then my old analog TV while being about the same size overall by using more of the surface and moving the speaker to the back. It's sometimes hard to hear the TV in noisy conditions because of the speaker location but this is a good trade off for the larger screen and external speakers may help solve this, of course you can use head phones. You do get stereo with phones, but uses a single speaker in the back of the set. The external antenna was a bonus. The TV has jacks for power, antenna and earphones. Some people may want more, but I'm glad this was kept simple like the rest of the TV. Although the seller didn't provide a tracking number, expedited shipping got it to me in four business days, so I'm happy. Build feels good and I like being able to store it in the pouch it came with. I hate long reviews, sorry, but I really like this TV.

I should have read the description more careful instead just assume it is a Jensen. But the differences are just the buttons. If you like to channel surfacing, then the Jensen is better, If you like to watch certain channel, then this one is fine for the price. I should've bought a bigger one and can be charged in the car.

rooCASE Neoprene Super Bubble Sleeve Case for Dell Inspiron i11z-3747OBK 11.6-inch Laptop Obsidian B

I like this case very much. It's strong and durable and a nice blue color. I've gotten a few compliments on it when I travel. It fits the x100e model with extended-length battery perfectly, so it should work for the later model (x120e) which is exactly the same size.

I also have a thinner neoprene case from Lenovo (sold for the ThinkPad x100e series) which I bought for a very low price on Lenovo's outlet site, but this Roo case is much stronger and very nicely padded. I travel with the Roo case and I use the Lenovo case as a slipcover when I'm around the house (I like to use a slipcover case on all my computers---I have 4---because it keeps them cleaner and protects against possible accidents). The Roo case even has a zippered compartment that can hold small things like an Ethernet cable or memory keys (but is not quite big enough for the power adapter). The compartment is also too small to hold the external DVD drive (also from Lenovo) which I bought for the x100e. The drive will fit in the compartment, but I can't zip it closed.

A good buy in price and, as always, the buying experience (e.g., shipping) was good.

Handheld Wired Trackball Mice Mouse / Thumb-Controlled Trackball, Connects Via USB Port

Works pretty well as a tabletop mouse and as a travel mouse. It is wired which is what I wanted for this application. But it has some drawbacks: 1.) It's pretty small. Not easily useable by an adult as a handheld mouse. You cannot hold it in your palm so you have to learn to hold it by the fingertips which makes it unwieldy. 2.) The roller ball has so much play in it that when you remove your thumb, the cursor moves before you can click. 3.) The size and configuration make it very difficult to pick up without right clicking wherever the cursor is located. 4.) The buttons are so sensitive it's easy click to by mistake. However, with practice, it's serviceable as a handheld just be sure to slow the the pointer speed down.

igadgitz Dual Tone Black Durable Crystal Gel Skin (TPU) Case Cover for Google Nexus 7 Android 4.1 Ta

• Custom made durable TPU case for your device.
• Dual tone colours with a glossy & matt finish. Textured sides for added grip.
• Full access to all tablet ports and controls, including rear faced speaker,power and volume button.
• Supplied with stick-on screen protector for total protection to your device.

The case is pretty good for the price. It has a nice, sleek appearance on the back with a "S" accent. Also has two sidegrips.Every port is accessible (minus the smart cover port, no magnets in this case) plus the case comes on and off easily enough.

The downside is the back. It's smooth, maybe a bit too smooth. While it does protect, I'm a bit worried of it slipping. Luckily you can still hold it one handed. Unfortunately the front isn't protected that much as in you can't lay it down face flat without scratches.

That's where the screen protecter comes in, but it seems a bit cheap. Got bubbles and dented it when I tried to reapply. Had to get rid of it sadly.

Overall this is a good case appearance wise(for the price), protects the back well and the screen protector might just work for you if your careful enough.

Second time I buy this product, is a good one, excellent seller.

I am very pleased with this purchase, was cheap and good

This is not an antiglared protector for the screen of a kindle, it should be opaque but glows and if you have a lamp or a light behind is reflected in the shield. I bought it, comes with 3 and then used one that I rejected because one of the idea of the kindle is precisely to avoid reflections. I really think that i lost my money, sorry.

I just received and tried the screen protector on the Kindles I have. The glare generated by this is just HORRIBLE. It's so much glare and reflection that I can even look at myself on the screen in normal room light, with as much detail as I would in a mirror. I didn't even dare try it in direct sunlight, just removed it immediately.

Definitely not an "anti-glare" product as advertised. The installation isn't as easy as mentioned either, but it does bring the installation helps mentioned. This is the worst purchase I've made for my Kindle. I would NEVER RECOMMEND THIS to anyone.

To get a glimpse at the level of glare and reflection, please check out the photos I uploaded.

This transparent cover fits perfectly over the 3G-WiFi Kindle latest generation or the regular kindle . Because of the price, I purchased 3 packets of them, just in case it is ever discontinued. There is no difference in the print after it is placed over the print. It also protects against any dust or "stuff" that might fall on the kindle, and it is anti-glare. (I have the $189.00 kindle because of the unlimited uses and can be used anywhere away from home (coffee shops, etc., and has more features than the $139.00 kindle, especially computer uses. The transparent cover also comes with fasteners (rubber) that keep the sheets in place. Buy this in stead of the other covers that might not fit. I am really pleased with the covers, as anyone can see.

Spare Products (6 Pack) of HP TouchPad Screen Protectors (CLEAR)

• Optical grade clear - unobstructed screen viewing
• Precise cut for best fit and easy installation
• Hard coated: scratch and scuff resistant *Marks and fingerprints wipe away easily
• Static cling adhesion: Will not leave sticky residue when removed
• Includes: 6 high quality HP TouchPad screen protectors, squeegee, and cleaning cloth

This screen protector does exactly what it is supposed to do, but I do want to point out that it is a very clear product. I cannot tell the screen protector is on and the cutout is perfect for the HP Touchpad. This screen protector is very smooth with no apparent imperfections in thickness. I have installed it by putting on one corner and slowly dropping the rest of the screen protector on, removing bubbles as I go along. I also wrapped my finger with tape so if there was a dust particle, I would use tape to remove it from the screen or back of the protector and then continue. I have no bubbles on any of my touchpads using this product and I have not had any of the edges buckle up over time (about a month using it so far). Most other products were about 3-4 times as expensive. This is a great product at an outstanding price!

Highly recommended.

Topeak Small Handy Phone Pack

As a cyclist that often gets the "Where are you and when are you coming home?" phone call from the better half, I can appreciate the necessities of having your phone very handy when those calls come in. I usually would carry my cellphone in the MTB rack-bag that I carry all of my tools and spare parts in when I go to hurt myself in the woods, or I would stuff it in my camelback pocket during road rides ... either way, the phone never got answered or never heard when it was ringing.

I needed a better way to handle my phone while I was riding.

I purchased the Topeak Handy Phone Pack, Small, for my Casio G'zOne Granite ruggedized phone along with several of the Fixer F66 handlebar stem mount nuts.

It turned out that this bag produced a tight, almost vice-like grip on my cell phone ... albeit I have the extended battery on the back, so it is a tad taller than it would be otherwise. That said, this death-grip on the phone is a very good way to carry on rough trails or on the road.

During my weekly off-road ride, I heard the phone ring ... I began to pry the phone out of the bag in the time it took to miss the call ... I'm gonna blame it on the battery.

This size issue is an easy fix. So easy that this morning I swapped the battery out for the standard one the phone came with. That dropped the depth of the phone down to what falls within the specs of the bag. I'll test fit it out tonight when I get home, but I think that that one change may make this bag come into its own when I use it on my next ride. 30Aug11 UPDATE I tried the phone in the bag last night and it was easier to get out with the standard battery installed.

I also was very impressed with the Fixer 66 mounting nut.

This thingamabob is one of the greatest things for cycling since kevlar lined knobbies. It held my overstuffed Handy Phone Pack on a very rough trail that had some rather abrupt stops that I did not plan. It easily released the pack from the built-in clip even while I was wearing my full-fingered gloves. It is a wonder that other phone bag manufacturers are not using this clip set to attach their bike bags with ... simple, elegant and tough. It is also cheap enough to purchase one for every bike that you ride ... at least that is what I did.

Cheers,

Darrell

I needed to replace my old reliable Topeak pack to carry a flip phone or my other smart phone and maybe some gue. I could not fit any phone into this pack. I also ordered the Topeak Handy E Pack at the same time. This small pack will never get used. I supposed I could mount it somewhere and carry tube patches.

The mount is fine. If you only want to carry one VERY small device or your car keys, it will work great. If your cargo is much bigger than a keyless remote and key ring, look for a bigger pack.

SINGER SteamWorks Pro Garment Steamer

Singer's SteamWorks Pro steamer is just amazing, so lets get down to it.

Assembly was fairly straight forward and took about five minutes to unpack everything and get it all put together. So the instructions get an A+.

To start off I filled the tank with filtered water (they recommend distilled water obviously) and slid in onto the base, flipped the machine on, waited about a minute and steam was shooting out so it was time to start steaming!

Using it for the first time, let alone a garment steamer for the first time, was an experience. I started with some drapes that had recently been washed but not ironed. A few passes with the steamer took every last wrinkle out of them! It actually surprised me because infomercials have really ruined my expectations on steamers as they seem to over glorify them.

Next up was a button up work shirt. Using the folding hanger and the garment clip bar to hold the shirt, a minute of going over the shirt made it look like it had been freshly pressed! Just amazing with so little effort.

The SteamWorks Pro steamer works flawlessly on everything I've tried it and it uses VERY little water.

Now there are a few things that I would consider minor flaws.

* First of all there is a LOT of plastic and it's not the heavy duty feeling ABS plastic. The pole clasps that are on the telescopic pole (these are what you use to lock the pole at different heights) are made of plastic and I am honestly waiting for one of them to break and prevent me from collapsing or extending the pole.

* I find the steamer hose a little bit too short and too stiff. When you are using it, the hose does become more pliable when heated up. Not a huge issue.

* The drain plug doesn't completely drain the unit and requires you to tilt it. They really should have designed it better so you didn't have to do this.

* Even when fully collapsed the unit is 32" tall. If you are like me, I have no room to store stuff like this and am resorting to having it just sitting in my room.

* No storage for the accessories. Now I have to find a place to put these bits and pieces.

* No handle, so I am unsure where I can grab to move/pick up the unit. It also doesn't roll on carpet or carpet with rugs very well.

These are all really nitpicky flaws, none of which detract from how well the unit works/functions.

For how well it works and the price, you really can't beat this garment steamer!

Pros:

Works and works very well.

Uses very little water and doesn't saturate the garment.

The accessories and nice, especially the handheld steaming board and space age oven mitt (seriously, it comes with a protective glossy silver oven mitt!).

Easy to operate.

Easy to put together.

Somewhat compact and collapsable.

Produces steam within a minute of turning it on.

Cons:

Fairly bulky, need to find a place to store it when not in use.

Drain plug doesn't completely drain the unit.

Tons of plastic! Only time will tell how well it will hold up to being used.

Has no storage for it's accessories.

If you are looking to replace your iron with this steamer, or any steamer, stop looking. A steamer will never get a dress shirt looking the way an iron will. But, this steamer works great on items that you cannot iron. For example, I have a jacket that is dry clean only and it was very wrinkled. This steamer worked great getting out the wrinkles. I also have a dress that is hand wash, hang to dry and it cannot be ironed. It looked like a wrinkled mess after washing. In no time at all the steamer removed the wrinkles and made the dress look great. It does heat up instantly! There is no wait time at all. It has a place to hang the garment while steaming, which is a big help.

This steamer works great on those few items around my house, but it will not be replacing my iron any time soon!

Buy SINGER SteamWorks Pro Garment Steamer Now

A solid product that produces a good deal of steam in a short time. Saves trips to the cleaners and works well, although I have not tried steaming any large articles like it claims to handle. May be a bit out of place in an apartment with limited storage area if the user intends to keep it available for frequent use. Easy to put together and holds a nice amount of water. And the tank is removable, making it simple to fill for use.

The directions are easy to follow and accessories make it possible to use often and in a variety of ways. The pole is adjustable and it comes with a convenient hanger that allows for multi angle use. The system automatically shuts off when the tank is empty as a nice safety feature.

A great accessory that can be used by anyone who may have trouble using an iron and board to keep clothes fresh and neat.

Added later after initial review: Now that we have used this for awhile, two minor problems should be corrected. The wheels on the base need a lock of some kind to hold the unit stable when in use. Also, a longer power cord would help. Depending on where your wall outlet is located, the length of the cord may limit where the unit is used. Still 4 out of 5 stars.

My wife and I spent quite some time shopping for a new steamer before we chose the Singer SteamWorks Pro. We've had two other models previous to purchasing the Singer, and we were hopeful that the features and price-point would be a good balance, but that hope became a pipe dream shortly after we started to use it. Within a week, the steamer would go into thermal shut-down after about 3 minutes of use. Then it would cycle on and off while in use. No, the hose wasn't kinked, or blocked. It just flat out would shut down after generating copious amounts of steam. What made it worse is that the power switch was intermittent, and would not shut off reliably, making it not only a pain in the rear to use, but a definite safety hazard. Within a week we knew that this unit needed to go. Fortunately, the seller gave us no grief and refunded our full purchase price including the shipping. We used that money towards a Rowenta, which works great and has the build quality that we expected.

Bottom linethis Singer is a lousy product is shouldn't even be a consideration unless you're looking for a hassle and a safety hazard.

Want SINGER SteamWorks Pro Garment Steamer Discount?

I typically do not write a review on a product unless I am compelled to do so by my totaly and complete satisfaction. The Singer steamer is amazing for the price the qaulity is better than I expected. The steam it produces is very impressive! I do not use the hangers that it came with, however I do use the pad and the handy cuff and collar accessory. I just use my own hangers it just seams less cumbersome. I have used other steamers commercial and home models. The singer has the home steamer price however it delivers on a commercial steamer level. If you are thinking about purchasing this steamer think no more. You will be definatley satisfied with it's performance, price and looks.

TABLETS HOLDER & STAND IPAD, KINDLE, ALL

This is my first review of many, many Amazon.com products. I was little skeptical at first since the seller's website does not include a lot of information.

Out of concern, I contacted the manufacturer/seller and asked a few questions about the product. based on what the manufacturer said I was concerned that the suction cup would not hold onto the iPad correctly.

however, it has been my experience that the iPad 2 holds firmly onto the suction cup and the other suction cup is holding firmly onto my artificial wood desk.

Basically the product is exactly what I needed. the manufacturer includes two extra platforms so that a Velcro system may be used instead of suction cup directly to the back of the iPad however I found those unnecessary and unseemly.

anyway, overall a great product!

Nice idea but wasn't sticking well to surfaces. I would not recommend this product. I do with it worked better as it can come in quite handy.

• Also comes with Conduit Peacemaker Professional Software for beaming information to and from a wide range of PDAs
• 16 MB RAM and 16 MB Flash ROM

The Compaq iPAQ 3600 series (specially 3630, 3650 and 3635) are really great units. I use my iPAQ as a replacement for several devices. As I usually have a 1GB IBM Microdrive in the iPAQ it works as the best MP3 Player yet (I have some 700MB of MP3 files continuously available) and still plenty of room in the MD and RAM. I also use a Lucent Orinoco for wireless connection, which allows me to chek my emails wherever I am at my place. The comprehensive software package (Inbox/PocketIE, PocketWord, PocketExcel, etc.) allows gerat functionality out of the box (you can add many shareware/freeware to increase that further (I recommend Resco's Utility PAckage for Zip compression/Decompression, etc.).

For travelling I am about to get a stowaway keyboard which will allow me to conveniently leave my notebook at home and conveniently check emails and eventual webpages.

My iPAQ was one of the very best purchases I made last year. As one of the very few PocketPCs to allow the use of cheap & standard PCMCIA cards such as:

Any NE2000 compliant Networking Card, which usually costs as little as $20

Some PCMCIA Modems (including the 3Com Cell Modem, which may be used along with your cell phone or landline)

Wireless NIC, such as the pretty standard Lucent/Agere Wavelan/Orinoco

IBM Microdrive up to 1GB (using this CF card with the PCMCIA adapter allows for better battery usage)

Kingston 2GB PCMCIA drive.

Much more...

I am anxiously awaiting the time I manage to get a CyNET Inc. CyPAQ (which is a dual PCMCIA slot for the iPAQ, along with their Wireless Cell/Modem, which allows one to use the iPAQ as a cell phone!).

I already got rid of my former MP3 Player and in the future I'll get rid of my Cell Phone too. All will converge into a single unit my iPAQ!

We recently installed Linux in one iPAQ and using teh very same PCMCIA cards we could run applications such as vic for video streaming, etc. It was quite impressive!

Last but not least I installed a PersonalJava JVM in my iPAQ and I can run any PersonalJava compliant code, such as my own H263 Video Decoder called jStreaming (http://jStreaming.com). That runs smoothly in my iPAQ. I am conficent that if you are thinking about getting this unit you'll not be disapointed. Do think about getting a Microdrive to go along with it tough.

***THIS REVIEW CONTAIN QUALITY INFORMATION***

Some complaints:

(1) Battery life is POOR (only last in terms of hours instead of days for other PDAs), especially if one uses a CF device with the included sleeve. Problem is CF memory is a MUST if you want to listen to MP3s. (2) Apparently Compaq still has not corrected the problem with dust getting into the screen. The dust reflect light from the backlit apparatus and is quite visible. A minor annoyance but one nevertheless. I recommend keeping the stylus silo occupied so there is less of a chance that dust will creep in. (You get 2 styli with the package so you can keep one in the silo at all time.) (3) The high-gloss silver finish of the iPaq is very bad with fingerprints, but if you keep the CF sleeve on all the time this problem would be minimized.

Productive recommendations:

(1) Don't get coerced into shelling out [the $] getting a CF modem; they are completely unnecessary. The only thing that modems are good for is emailing in real-time. Browsing regular html paged with the iPaq is neither practical or productive. (2) Make sure you get an AvantGo account. This makes an iPaq really worthwhile. (3) Make sure you install ActiveSync 3.3 and set up a relationship between your PC and your iPaq so that you can do email and access the internet (in conjunction with AvantGo). (4) Make sure you find MS Transcriber on the ActiveSync CD and install that puppy. This writing recognition program is AMAZING! (Transcriber is an different program from the writing recognition program in th iPaq, so you need to install it separately.) (5) Finally DO look through the iPaq Tour CD, there are some VALUABLE applications hidden in there that you can install.

Enjoy this wonderful lil machine!

I waited a long time to buy a handheld and spent weeks researching the pros and cons of the two I was most seriously considering, the iPAQ and the new Palm m505. When I finally bit the bullet and bought the iPAQ, I initially was apprehensive regarding its price and some of the "glitches" I read about on the Compaq website message boards. Let me tell you, I have had this thing for 6 weeks now and I absolutely love it. Once you have decided between the advantages and disadvantages of Windows Pocket PC OS v. Palm OS, I don't think there is a better Pocket PC out there. Putting aside the superficial factors about how sleek and cool the iPAQ looks, it does so many things and synchronizes so well with Microsoft Outlook, that I think it's the best handheld out there (notwithstanding the price). The calendar, contacts and other organizer features are excellent. The games I have downloaded are pretty good (I am looking for better ones -clearly Palm has an advantage here). I live in the city and play chess every morning on the subway -which is a fine distraction when coupled with a CD player on my ears. I am still working on how to get MP3s downloaded to the iPAQ.

What really sold me on this product, though, was the excellent quality of the screen -there are 5 levels of brightness to choose from; and the fact that I wanted color to go with it. I compared this to the Palm m505, and it was no contest. You could barely see the Palm screen in the store. Who cares about 65,000 colors v. 4900 when you can barely see the screen? This is one of the most important features of any handheld, in my opinion. The iPAQ memory is expandable, which will allow me to use it for a long time (barring any accidents). The handwriting recognition is excellent, and is much better than Palm's "graffiti."

The negatives I have read about and experienced re: the iPAQ are: (1) the slide-on expansion sleeves. People are complaining because there is no internal expansion slot in the iPAQ. Who cares? The sleeve does not add that much bulk and it's a fair trade-off for the other things you get. That said, the iPAQ is not necessarily something you can carry in a shirt pocket. I have carried it in a jacket pocket however, and it felt comfortable. (2) There isn't as much software out there for PocketPCs as there is for Palm products. I think, though, that due to the popularity of the iPAQ that is changing rapidly. Many of these games are free on Handago.com and Microsoft's PocketPC website. I downloaded a great chess game and a tankzone game that is just like "Battlezone" from the early 80s. I also downloaded "PocketQuake" for free, but need more memory to use it. (3) BATTERY LIFE. This is definitely a negative. I have constantly needed to charge this thing, so I bought a charging adapter for work and home. I take it with me whenever I travel. You can use this for about a day of regular use, then you will need to charge it. I have read that you can keep a Palm on for weeks without charging. Palm has the iPAQ beat hands down in this department, but then again, in my view, the battery drainage is due solely to the advantages I feel the iPAQ has over the Palm. It's a tradeoff. (4) Accessories will cost you. This is a product for people with money to spend on it. While you can get basic everyday usage out of the 32MB that comes with the iPAQ, you will need to buy at least another 64 MB of memory to really get the most out of it. (I haven't yet). Internet connectivity, which I would love to have, is still ridiculously expensive ($59.95/mo. with Omnisky). When this comes down and the connection rate improves (or I win the lottery), this will be a great thing to have.

The last thing I want to say is that it is a lot of fun exploring new things to do with the iPAQ. As with all handhelds, this is not a product like a washing machine that comes with clear directions on how to use its every aspect, particularly, downloadable software. The technology is still evolving, and it requires some work to find new things to download and use. I am still working on the MP3 issue, for example. But there is a growing community of users that provides advice on all aspects of the iPAQ on the Compaq website. It is a great feeling when you find something new to do on this product. If you are someone who likes things spelled out 100% and don't want to search for anyting -do yourself a favor and buy a Palm. Better yet, stick to a notebook. On the other hand, if you like a little adventure and have some money to spend on this fantastic organizer/MP3 player/toy/computer, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Want Compaq iPAQ 3135 Monochrome Pocket PC Bundle (with Compact Flash Jacket) Discount?

I have received mine 3 days ago, after about 6 months of using a Palm m100. PC synchronization, which IMHO is must feature in a PDA, works beautifully, I did not have to spend more than 10 minutes installing the new synchronization software over the old Palm HotSync, and I had all my agenda items, contacts, and notes, moved to the iPAQ.

All that and I have not actually had to install the included USB cradle yet this was all done via my notebook's IrDA port!

Setting up IrDA equipped GSM phone connection to an ISP also went pretty smoothly, and I was able to download emails using a motorola Timeport (TriBand) one day after I got the iPAQ.

Now to the machine itself certainly a LOT sexier than a m100 ... The screen really shines and the wealth of built in applications and add-ons is nice. email is usefull to an extent (vs. useless to my mind, in the m100). I also got myself a 'vaja' case, a class leader, it fits great, and is very convenient to use single handed opening and closure are almost as easy as with the m100.

Some critique -

The iPAQ, even though probably the most compact PocketPC PDA today, is still noticably larger and heavier than Palm Vx or m100, this could make a real difference to people who pocket carry their PDA all day long. I wouldn't even dare thinking about carriend one of these WITH an expansion sleeve in my pant's pocket.

The included soft case is inconvenient, purchasing a better replacement is almost inevitable. Also, the device metal case is very slippery, holding a bare device in your palm is uncomfortable because of this.

As bare bones, agenda /contacts manager, Palm would probably be the practical choice, if this is what you're after, then save your bucks and get one.

The pocket versions of window applications (word and excel), including email, MS money, can be usefull for many people though. Mainly because of the better screen (higher resolution, color, and clearness), and friendlier handwriting recognition (compared to palm). This, (and higher fun factor ...) make the iPAQ the more appealing PDA.

While color is nice, the price of a color iPAQ is not worth it when compared to this unsung model. Often overlooked the 3135 has all of the same features as it color siblings, Excel, Word, IE, Outlook, Calendar, Contacts, MS Money, but albeit with less RAM 16 compared to 32mb or 64mb for the color versions. However with the inclusion of the CF sleeve, which allows you to plug in CF cards from 8 to 256mb, the 3135 is the best PDA bang for the buck. And let's not forget the iPAQ comes with Windows Media Player, making it also an mp3, wma player, and it has the ability to record voice messages. With the CF sleeve and a few flash cards one can literally carry ones music libary with you where ever you go. Compared with the Palm Pilot, and Handspring Visor, this inexpensive jewel is perfect for the enthusiast, student or professional. After spending almost 6 months researching, playing with and talking with friends, neighbors and co-workers about which PDA to get I have yet to regret my decision.

I bought this product for a Windows Mobile 6.5 PDA. After installing all new versions of software onto desktop computers, the file conversion and transfer from desktop to the PDA is easy. The file was compressed about 20 times (35M to 1.7M). I tried to use this ShowMate to do Powerpoint presentation onto a projector. The recognition of ShowMate by the projector was very smooth and the screen of the projector showed ShowMate and indicated trying connection between the PDA and the ShowMate. Once opening the software Impatica Projector in the PDA, it searched bluetooth device and found the ShowMate easily; it then popped up for passcode. After inputting passcode, it always showed CANNOT CONNECT, but in many cases it connected and started file transfer. The resolution of the powerpoint slides were great, but I had problems with bluetooth connection (lost connection) when a individual silde size is too big. So I think this device would be great for files with small size for each slide (e.g. most text in the slide), but it is not working for slides of large size. I think the problem was, when it transfers a slide with large size, the memory of the ShowMate is not enough so it interferes with bluetooth connection. This device might be good for people who present mostly texts but not big-sized images. My slides contain many scientific images having pretty large size, it did not work well.

On the other hand, the Screen Projector software works very well in my hand. It may need to change your screen settings in your PDA in order to have a correct image direction of your PDA screen onto the projector screen. The transfer speed is not very fast but endurable. You can notice obvious delay from your PDA to the projector. But it is very good to have the screen projection function of this device. Anything showing on your PDA screen is showing on the projector screen. Original PowerPoint slides (without compression by the Impatica software) in your PDA can be projected to the projector screen by using Screen Projector software but the resolution is clearly reduced (no resolution reduction when using Impatica Projector).

Overall, it is a interesting device for handhelds computers and Windows phones, but it still needs improvement for its wider use.

I really tried to get this to work with my AAXA M2 micro projector. http://www.amazon.com/AAXA-TECHNOLOGIES-M2-Micro-Projector/dp/B004BM2OS4 as I think it would be a perfect companion.

But I couldn't. After installing the drivers, I had problems "putting" the file on my Blackberry Curve (AT&T). I even tried downloading the newest version on the Impatica's website, but I still couldn't do it. I'm sure it's pretty cool if it works, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work...

This works well with my Blackberry Storm2! When I read the other review on here, I was skeptical. But at $34 I had to try this since the Blackberry Presenter is so expensive ($165)! I was presenting from my Palm based unit successfully a long time ago and have been waiting for Blackberry to get up to speed on this! The first thing out of the box you have an insert telling you to update the software from the website. If you are not tech savvy, this may be a challenge for some, but there are good instructions. I did not even bother with the enclosed CD but went right to the web site and downloaded all the software so I don't know how well it would work with the enclosed CD. However, I did not have to follow instructions until I connected to my Blackberry by bluetooth. This unit has the ability to connect to the Blackberry through both a USB connection and a bluetooth connection, and both worked very well. I did not get the delays that the other review mentioned.

There were some Cons I came across though. You have to convert the slides from Powerpoint to the viewers format. This may be a pain for someone who never used previous presenters for the Palm or Pocket PC. Also,there were three slides out of a presentation of 102 slides with mostly pictures in it that did not convert over. One of them was an Excel graph object and I was able to save the graph as a picture from the powerpoint presentation (this feature is available in Powerpoint 2007 not sure of earlier versions) and reinsert it into the slide. Then I processed the presentation through the conversion software again and it converted OK. The software did warn me that there was an error with one of the objects in slide number 49 so I was able to know which slide was involved. However, it did not warn me of the other two slides. They were both pictures and I still do not know why they didn't convert. I was able to save both of these as pictures from powerpoint as well and reinsert them and the software was then able to convert them. If the software worked better, I would rate this as a 5 star because it did work very well with my blackberry. I was able to connect easily both by USB and by bluetooth. I was able to project my Blackberry screen from the blackberry connection software on my blackberry and I was able to show a powerpoint show from the blackberry presentation software on my blackberry.

Pros:

It works!

It only costs around $30 when the Blackberry Presenter costs $165 here on Amazon as of this writing.

Has both USB and Bluetooth connections for Blackberry

Cons:

You have to convert the powerpoint file.

The conversion software does not work seamlessly or flawlessly in converting all slides.

Software for the PC and the Blackberry is necessary and may intimidate some people.

Has SVGA resolution and NO XVGA but this does not matter that much to me.

Over all I am very pleased with this little unit!
