The case is nothing fancy, but sturdy and attractive. I had to figure out how to apply the protector, but finally did and the stylus is fine. You just can't beat the price. Thank you!

HP iPAQ 5450 Color Pocket PC

HP iPAQ 5450 Color Pocket PC
  • Transflective TFT LCD, over 65,000 colors 16-bit, 240 x 320 resolution, 3.8-inch diagonal viewable image size
  • Removable/rechargeable 900 mAh Lithium-lon battery
  • Secure Digital memory card slot for transferring and storing music, picture and more
  • Intel 400 MHz processor with XScale technology
  • What's in the box: iPAQ 5450, slim removable battery, protective cover pack, universal cradle for USB or serial connection, extra stylus, AC adapter, charger adapter, Getting Started Guide, PC Companion CD

Hi. I already bought ten of these devices, in order to develop a unique project supported by Microsoft using latest .NET compact framework techs, etc. The first surprise.. our 5450s are like a beta test.. and we are beta testers. WLAN works fine, but they cannot authenticate in an Linksys AP, 802.11G is not supported on early models, this problem was recognized by HP and they released an OS update. In addition, battery indicator shows depletion erroneously, there are several problems with low cost SD memory expansion cards, my device worked with Simple Tech, Wiking or Kingston, other brands didn't worked at all. One of our devices dropped from a loose jacket pocket, a 2-feet fall. Results: the screen exploded and broken in several parts, seems that the screen was made with real glass, not plexiglass nor other transparent thing like early Compaq IPAQs. WE sent it to HP labs, and they said the motherboard was broken as well, so the device is almost unusable. We spent over 8,800.00 USD in these machines, and we think we deserve more robustness, provided at that time the device was sheltered with the supplied screen cover and protection sleeve.

On the positive side, the device is fast, with outstanding pocketDIVX video performance and a sustained 2MBPS WLAN transfer rate (10 meters).

Bluetooth performance is deceiving, in spite of that, the concept of personal area network is quite interesting. But if you want to exchange some MP3s, you can expect transfer times that are comparable to the infrarred connection ones not much gain at all.

We often have to soft reset our devices, mainly due to WLAN config changes those are not reflected, or WLAN card not properly turned off, or WLAN reconfig not possible or rejected by the device. We certainly think the 5450 is not a mature product. Great concept, state of the art microelectronics and so on, but we think HP released a beta version, not a final release. An expensive one, indeed.

I agonized at the tough choices I had to make: A) Stick to the Palm pilot series which I had been using for the last 3 years; B) Buy the HP 3950, the top model in the 3000 series; or B) Buy the new HP 5450.

The Internet reviews of the HP 5450 were a mixed bag with some people stating that it wasn't a reliable machine, some going as far as saying that they had to make a hard reset every day.

I bought my HP 5450 about a month ago. Overall, I have been positively surprised by it's reliability. Many of the negative points stated in the December/January reviews have been dealt with efficiently by HP. For example the headphone jack on my machine is a standard headphone jack. With a 128 megabyte SD memory card, I have been using the iPaq as an MP3 player with no problems. The finger print reader works impeccably, always on the first time scan (I did have to practice for about 20 minutes using the training program supplied with the machine as you need to use a swift steady motion). The fingerprints are now saved in the ROM of the machine so that even if you do a Hard Reset (i.e. restore the machine to it's original configuration), the machine is still protected with you finger print. This makes your machine useless to any "would be" thief.

If you take the backlighting down to a reasonable level, you easily get 7 to 8 hours of battery use. I have a second battery which I have been using when I travel. I also have the option of charging the machine when I go on long trips as there is a standard adapter which allows you to plug in your power cord straight into the Ipaq (instead of through the cradle). There is also the option of slow charging directly through the USB chord so you could leave your power chord behind without being left completely stranded.

Both Bluetooth and WLAN connections work fine and are relatively easy to set up if your phone and wireless gateway are properly setup. They do use up more battery, especially the WLAN. I turn them on for a few minutes when I need to get/send my emails and turn them off when I am done.

There is also a nifty backup software which allows you to backup all the RAM contents into ROM (the Ipaq file store) so that if you go on holiday, you can backup all your programs and databases to restore them later in case your memory got erased due to an extended "power outage".

Size and design are exceptional. Only a little bit bigger and heavier than my previous Palm m515. The Windows Pocket PC 2002 software is even more user friendly than the Palm OS.

Please note that I bought my Ipaq in Hong Kong where it comes with a 1250Mh battery as standard. It seems that Amazon's is only 900 Mh.

A great machine... Well worth its price!

I'm a diehard Palm fan and still am. However the PocketPC filled an itch that I have never been able to scratch with the Palm namely web browsing.

With the 5450/5455 I have been able to (within an hour) hook up to my WIFI system in my house, setup wireless synching and get up and browse the web. Something that I think would have taken multiple steps with my Tungsten.

Here are the things I like and dislike about the 5450/5455:

LIKES:

1. Integrated WIFI The wave of the future. No need to slap add-on cards or boards to the unit. It is all built in.

2. Color screen Bright and readable.

4. Active Synch Everything you enter to the unit can be automatically synchronized to your computer as you work -not just when you hit the synch button.

DISKLIKES:

1. The early 5450/5455 have intermittent problems with WIFI "Out of Memory" error messages.

2. The battery life is shorter than Palm-although I AM using the WIFI capability so will live with it (and I'm sure that is why the battery depletes faster).

Overall I am a little sorry to say that after a month of usage I CANNOT recommend the iPaq for anyone but the most diehard enthusiast. The device is wildly buggy on WIFI (reported in just about every iPaq discussion forum, requires numerous soft resets ever day and frequent HARD resets (ie All data gone bye-bye).

After about a month I've found this platform to be buggy, slower than Palm and just not as convenient. It does not break any new ground whatsoever for the average user. And to top it all off, the web browsing that I loved initially turns out to be dog slow -even when connected wirelessly to my DSL. Avoid this product.

Want HP iPAQ 5450 Color Pocket PC Discount?

I bought the device as my first Pocket PC. I couldn't get over all the integrated features, integrated 802.11b AND Bluetooth, consumer IR, etc etc. After I got the device and spent a few days playing with it, I started noticing a few quirks with the integrated 802.11b. First of all, every once in a while, when attempting to start the wireless network utility to turn on the wireless radio, I will get an error stating there is not enough driver memory. This is easily resolved with a soft reset of the device, but isn't something I should have to do in the first place. Ah well, that wasn't too big of a deal to me. Second, it uses the Atmel controller, and if you are looking for wireless network stumbling utilities like Ministumbler or Pocketwarrior, they will not work with it until they are ported for this controller. And last, being the biggest gripe about it, there is no integrated 802.1x authentication support, and I haven't found any 3rd party solutions. This basically means that if you plan to use this device in your place of business and 802.1x authentication is required to access your corporate WLAN, you'll have to get an expansion sleeve and a supported card and drivers. HUGE oversight on HP's part seeing as this device seems to be geared toward the corporate market. If your WLAN at work doesn't require 802.1x, you'll be fine. I hope that this will be resolved in a future software update, but for now you might be better getting the cheaper 3900 series, a compact flash adapter sleeve, and appropriate compact flash 802.11b card, especially if you plan on using this device for wardriving or connecting to an 802.1x secured network...

[Supplement on 1-24-2004]

I still have the iPaq and am happy to say all the issues I complained about are resolved. The open source PocketWarrior program is available for wardriving with the Atmel chipset wlan chip built in. And with the Windows Mobile 2003 software upgrade you can purchase from HP, the device gets 802.1x support. New gripe, sometimes I have a hard time getting the device to sync via the supplied cradle, and have to revert to using a straight USB sync cable. This happens on TWO cradles I have. Sync issues aside, I love this thing! Upgrading rating from 3 to 4 stars...

The unit DOA less than 3 months. At first, the price was great but now it sit as a paper weight on my table. If you see this item for less than what it used to be, forget about.

Thermaltake Mobile Fan 12 External USB Cooling Fan 120mm AF0007

Thermaltake Mobile Fan 12 External USB Cooling Fan 120mm AF0007
  • Application for Notebook and Desktop, Anything can connect to USB Power
  • Convenient cooling solution for "Mobile user?.
  • VR knob : Adjust fan speed manually.
  • One-touch retractable USB power cable box.
  • Directly plug into USB port. Unnecessary additional power supply .

This fan is perfect for venting an entertainment center or a computer desk because it is powered by a USB connector and it has a speed control allowing you to adjust the speed of the fan for the best combination of airflow and (lack of) noise. The wires leading to it stay out of the way because they are on a spring-loaded reel which takes up the slack. I purchased a new entertainment center which, hard to believe, has no power outlets or vent fans! The area where the equipment resides quickly became an oven. For the first few weeks I had to leave the doors open all of the time, a completely unsatisfactory situation. I wanted to install fans to vent the cabinet, but powering them was an issue. This fan solves the problem as it is powered by the USB port on the back of one of my TiVos. I also installed one in my wife's computer desk, which made it run 20+ degrees cooler and much quieter. In both cases, I removed the "legs" and purchased longer bolts and nuts, drilled a hole in the back and mounted the fan. It took about 5 minutes for the installation. Highly recommended!

Although iMacs are designed to handle the heat generated using "passive" cooling (read no internal fan) I always use the philosophy that cooler is better. I mounted this fan behind my iMac and use an already existing hub to plug it in. It's quiet and the computer runs noticeably cooler. Will it increase the life of the computer? I don't know. But like I said, cooler is better. I do wish there was a power switch incorporated into the speed control but unplugging it isn't really much of a problem. I'm totally satisfied with the unit.

I recently lucked out and got my hands on an Atlantic Technology FS-7.0-GLB 7-channel surround bar (Gloss Black), and purchased an Onkyo TX-SR508 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) to go with it. Having read the reviews on my receiver, I was forewarned that it runs very hot, so I began my search for something that would keep it cool, but not break my bank. I couldn't have asked for better than this USB-powered cooling fan.

After initially setting everything up, I thought that the best place for this fan might be at the rear of the receiver, over the hole through which all of my wires and cables passed to and from my receiver. Uhm, yeah NOTHING was going to be powerful enough to suck the heat from the receiver with it set THERE! So, once I'd figured out that I needed to lay my ThermalTake fan over the TOP of the upper grate on my receiver, with the fan speed knob (obviously!) facing up, I unscrewed the little wire "stand" that it's on, put it in place, and it's done the job SPECTACULARLY! Before, my Onkyo receiver would literally get hot to the touch after a few hours of operation. Now that I have my ThermalTake fan laid over top of it, it actually stays almost cold to the touch, even when it's on all day long.

There are plenty of other cooling options that one can find online and in-store that are billed specifically as cooling options for A/V equipment, but you really can't possibly go wrong with this awesome little USB-powered fan. The RPMs of this fan exceed what I came across on a website for another fan billed for use with audio receivers, and that fan was being sold for nearly double the price of this one, before shipping. All it took was for me to move this to the right place on my receiver for this fan to get it super cool.

Amazon continues to amaze me with the bargains that I find here. Of course, without the helpful reviews that other users put up here, I wouldn't have had a clue what to buy or how well it'd work. Thankfully, the other folks that've bought this fan led me down the right path, and I have every confidence that I'll be able to enjoy many, many years of great sound from my audio receiver, so thanks!

The product is based around an 80mm computer case fan, with a wire stand and a rheostat to control the fan speed. The retractable power cord extends to over 50" which is more than enough for me. Besides being useful for cooling notebook computers, this is also helpful for cooling off stereo components and related electronic equipment since heat is the enemy. At higher speeds, the fan does make some noise however.

If you are looking around for usb cooling fans on Amazon you might have noticed that is there another Thermaltake fan called the Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan. Let me note that this one (Thermaltake Mobile Fan 12 External USB Cooling Fan) is larger than the other one (Thermaltake Mobile Fan II External USB Cooling Fan). Looking for a space saving cooling solution I decided to buy the smaller one instead. Upon arrival I tried using it only to find what a few other reviews pointed out in that the wiring for the speed control is faulty. The fan controller doesn't allow the fan to reach 1/4 of the highest speed of the fan without stuttering. The stuttering is so bad that the fan blade almost comes to a halt. Disappointed by the faulty fan I returned it for this larger model. Upon receiving it I immediately plugged it in and messed with the speed control knob to see what it would do. Needless to say it worked like it should. The fan can achieve the fastest or slowest speed it's capable of without any stuttering like the smaller one. I am much happier with this fan as it moves more air (or the same amount of air without the noise of the smaller one) and the wiring for the speed control isn't faulty either. Great fan that I'd highly recommend!

PDair VX1 Black Leather Case for HTC ThunderBolt 4G

PDair VX1 Black Leather Case for HTC ThunderBolt 4GThis black leather PDair case appears to be a pretty well made product. The only case I could find that was better made was $50 more. I thought I would despise the white contrast stitching but it is not as bold as it looked in the photos. (I'd still rather not have it, though).

The case is a bit tight. I actually bought one for the HTC Thunderbolt, slightly larger than the HTC Incredible 2/S that I am using it on ... and it's still snug. I did that hoping I could keep the protective silicone case on the phone, but no-go. The phone alone is a snug fit and again this case is intended for a phone that is about 4mm wider and 2mm deeper.

The inside of the case is leather, but rough textured. The manufacturer should put microfiber or silicone or faux fur or something else like that on the inside.

Still, even with those minor gripes, this is a durn nice case for the money!

Compaq iPAQ Conncetion Point - 2WThis item is great! It is nice and small and does not take up a lot of space at the desk. The best thing is, if you are wanting wireless internet in your home, but don't want to buy a wireless modem (since they're so expensive) this is a nice affordable upgrade to that other option. Instructions are easy to understand and the setup does not take long at all!

Gateway ZX6980-UR328 All-in-One Touch Desktop PC

Gateway ZX6980-UR328 All-in-One Touch Desktop PC
  • Intel Core i3-3220 Processor (3.3GHz, 3MB Total Cache)
  • 6GB DDR3
  • 1 TB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
  • 23-Inch Touchscreen, Intel HD Graphics
  • Windows 8

Pros:

This computer is no bad at all. Fast, good with multitasking and quiet at night. Front display panel looks like iPad. I loaded MS Office 2010 on it with no issues. Then I loaded other third party programs and still not bad.....Windows 8 is actually very cool. You can still use Windows 7 Desktop interface if you want to and invoke DOS prompt if you are a geek like me. The PC has USB 2.0,3.0 ports and HDMI. It has DVD burner as well. Wireless is built in. 10 points multi-touch has kids screaming with joy when they play cut the rope. Display is amazing. Getting better download throughput on Verizon FIOS with this PC, wonder why....

Cons:

Keyboard feels cheap. Tiny wireless receiver for wireless mouse and keyboard was packaged inside of the mouse. It took me 20 min to find it. :-), but it is probably me....

I received my Gateway all-in-one desktop a couple of days ago (through another seller). It was manufacturer refurbished and came with no quick guide. While the PC was everything I expected and much more, the lack of installation guide almost ruined the whole system. I was impressed with less cables tangling under my desk, though I still have my old Windows Vista Jurassic at the other end of the room that served me well for 5 years. This PC identified and connected to my WiFi instantly. The display is dazzling with the brightness. Then I got to the wireless mouse and keyboard, and my nightmare began in earnest. I installed the batteries in both of them. They both would not work. After 3 hours of fruitless efforts and a couple of emails to the seller (waiting for the response), I finally located a wifi adapter hidden inside the mouse cover, to my dismay. That was before I have screwed up all the configurations inside the PC in all the efforts to troubleshoot. Then back to undo all the crap that I had caused myself. A simple quick guide could have saved me the migraine. Now the mouse, the keyboard and the entire system work just as expected and more. The installed windows 8 and the touch screen are very exciting.

I researched a ton of possibilities. But this price was right and considering I was replacing a 10-yr. old Gateway Windows XP which is still being used by a friend, I decided on the Gateway. Windows 8 has proved to be no problem and works well with the touch screen. My one complaint was that it had no Freecell loaded but took care of that easily. The 23 inch screen is a real joy. I also kept my Logitach backlit keyboard instead of the one provided. Just a matter of personal preferencee and ease of use. Kept theirs as a backup in case I spill coffee again...

Brother PT-70 Personal Handheld Labeler with special time & date function

Brother PT-70 Personal Handheld Labeler with special time & date function
  • Uses M tape in 3/8" and 1/2" size widths
  • Prints in 6 different font sizes and 9 type styles
  • Up to two line printing
  • Features a Time and Date function, perfect for labeling perishable food, financial records and much more
  • LCD displays 8 characters x 1 line
  • Includes one starter M231 tape and no batteries.It requires 4 AAA batteries (which are not included).
  • label maker is orange colored

I purchased this labeler in the midst of an electrical upgrade in my house, and I've used it to neatly label all the circuits in my panel. It is easy to use, fast, and came with a good sized roll of labeling tape. For the price, it's a great deal, though the range of extra features (larger tapes, special fonts, multi line printing) may be too small for those with need for more decorative labels.

These little labeler runs our company. They make some of our management decisions every day. There are a billion of wires in our data centers and, besides our documentation servers, only these labelers know where the other ends of those wires go. Granted it appears that we control the lablers, but the decisions are based purely off of their thoughts. There are five shadowy PT-70s and one PT-65 overlords running the show here. The only reason their numbers have decreased is because they disappear in to thin air not because any have ever broke down. When they run out of management decisive tape, it isn't difficult to find some. Replacing said tape is also a breeze. Do not be fooled by this review, I'm telling you from experience that these devices make organization a breeze and are easy to operate. I am not saying this because of the PT-70 on my desk is forcing me to write such a wondrous review or that there will be consequences if I do not.

As a labeler: five stars. Four stars for the diminished user experience resulting from the glitchy battery level display

This labeler is easy to use. The QWERTY keyboard has a wide range of special characters accessible via the "symbol" key. Other functions (length, width, print size, style, font formatting) are accessed via a multi-purpose function key.

If you have used other labeling tape with backing that is pre-split for exposing the adhesive side of the tape, you'll have to learn a new technique for this product.

After printing and cutting your label with this machine, you then insert one end of the label into a slot on the top rear, and quickly pull the label down; this separates the label from the backing at the end. It doesn't always work the first time, but will work eventually. This process is clearly described in the user guide, and has an excellent pictograph engraved in the slot to remind you of the technique.

Other reviewers have commented on battery life. My experience is as follows: battery life is fine, but the battery life display is not. It displays *soon* after batteries are installed and a few labels are printed. Ignore it and keep on printing. I've been printing labels a few times a week for three months with this labeler, and the initial batteries are still installed.

Many possible uses in the home and home office. My home computer area now requires two power strips (to deliver power to: a desktop computer, telephone, speakers, two monitors, two printers, a scanner, a router, a cable modem, VOIP modem, a wireless router a NAS unit, a desk lamp and --sometimes-a hard drive enclosure). Each of these plugs (and accompanying power supply blocks for those devices that have them) is now labeled. This eliminates trial and error when the time comes to unplug or remove hardware for maintenance or upgrades. Little victories are important in the fight to tame technology.

N Werle's review seems a bit much... I'll give you the label separator thing, It really doesn't work at all. But the rest of your review... I can't agree with it. I received a Dymo (Letratag) & Brother (PT-70) label maker for Christmas and have so far really liked this model (Brother PT-70) far more than the Dymo Letratag. I haven't had any trouble using the features or accidentally printing. Construction seems a bit too "plasticky" for my taste while the Dymo seems more heavy and solid. The Dymo also uses 4 AA while the brother PT-70 uses 4 AAA. Not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing. Sure it will weigh less, but I assume the batteries won't last as long. Also, I really appreciate the qwerty keyboard on the Brother.

I really like this labeler! My main purpose for buying this was to make labels for my coupon binder, but i know I will find many other uses! Its very easy to use. There are different font styles and sizes, special characters, and borders. This is a great, inexpensive addition to any home or office.

Fashionable Perfect Fit Leather Pouch Protective tablet PC computer Carrying Case for Apple iPad 3G

Fashionable Perfect Fit Leather Pouch Protective tablet PC computer Carrying Case for Apple iPad 3G / WiFi 16GB 32GB 64GB - PURPLEWhen I bought my iPad 3, I knew the type of case that I wanted and it wasn't difficult to find the perfect one for me. I wanted purple and leather. You would think that was a pretty tall order given the dimensions of the iPad 3, but there it was on Amazon. The price was unbeatable. The quality is superb. I always am asked where I bought it and so I assume that these are selling pretty well. My suggestion: Buy it! You won't be disappointed!

SanDisk SDDR-91-A15 CF Type I/II Reader

SanDisk SDDR-91-A15 CF Type I/II Reader
  • Hi-Speed USB 2.0 certified for fastest data transfer
  • Backwards compatible with all USB 1.1 ports
  • Easy to install and use; true plug and play

So you finally bought that new 5or 6-megapixel digital camera and now you have a 512MB or 1GB compact flash card to hold all those big files. Then you know that USB 1.1 is incredibly slow for transferring files, whether you are hooking the camera directly to your computer's USB port, or using a USB 1.1 card reader.

USB 1.1 has a maximum transfer rate of 1.5 MB/sec, but in real-life tests using my Lexar 512MB 40X compact flash card (one of the fastest currently on the market), the data transfer rate was only 0.6MB/sec. However, with the Sandisk ImageMate's USB 2.0 connection, the transfer rate for the same Lexar card was 3.2MB/sec (about 5 times faster).

This tiny (smaller than a deck of playing cards) USB 2.0 compact flash reader isn't for everyone, however. First, you must have USB 2.0 capability in your computer--something the vast majority of computers don't have. If your computer doesn't, the reader will still work, but only at the slower USB 1.1 speed. However, you can buy a USB 2.0 card to give your computer the capability (Amazon sells a very inexpensive one from Iogear, which I bought for my computer).

Second, you need a relatively fast compact flash card. Just like CD burners, compact flash cards have a maximum speed of their own (40X is approximately 6 MB/sec). If you have an old 4X or 8X compact flash card, then you probably won't see any improvement with this card reader compared to USB 1.1.

This Compact Flash reader does just what it says, and it does it nicely. It is built well and is very light, and the price can't be beat. It is a USB 2.0 connection (backward compatible with USB 1.1) and I've had good experiences with the speed of data transfer.

I had an old Pocket PC for years but recently had to get rid of. However, in the Pocket PC I had a Compact Flash Card that was still in working condition and I wanted to keep it. Purchasing this product allowed me to take the old data off of it and even use it as an extra storage device (like another disk drive).

In addition, I recently bought a Canon Elph camera (which uses Compact Flash cards) and I wanted the ability to transfer data to my computer WITHOUT using my camera. This was a very important reason for my getting this item. I can now take out a Flash card and send the pictures to my computer even though my camera is low on batteries, or is not available.

It is a pretty simple item, but it does have a couple of minor features. First there are 4 rubber circular pads (about the size of dimes) on the bottom of the reader. This helps prevent it from slipping on a table. (This is important because the reader is so light that the USB cable can curl and push the item around).

Second, there is a little green light (on the top) which comes on whenever you have media inserted. This is good because you can tell if you've inserted it correctly.

I am very happy with this product.

If you have a digital camera that uses CompactFlash memory cards, this is a must-have accessory. Instead of plugging in your camera directly and draining precious battery life, simply take the CF card from the camera and put it in one of these. Use that battery life to shoot more pictures! If you're using Windows 2000 or XP (I can't comment on Mac compatibility, not having tried it myself), it will be detected and configured automatically. No need to install any special software either; just use it like any other disk. Oh, and even if your system doesn't have USB 2.0 ports--mine doesn't, unfortunately--it will still work with older USB 1.1 ports. Just be prepared to wait slightly longer for transfers.

Oh, and if you take the reader and a CF card with you (it's small enough to pocket quickly), it makes for quick, easy, high-capacity portable storage.

Update: I've also had a chance to test this in Linux, and it works perfectly there. Just make sure to compile USB Mass Storage Support into your kernel or as a module.

I recently got a Nikon D70 digital SLR and was having to transfer large amounts of files to my computer. As in, 512MB to 1GB. I only shoot in RAW so they fill up. Anyway, transferring 512MB from the camera (which was USB1 speed) took quite a long time, I think it was maybe like 10 minutes or even more to do 512MB.

With this Sandisk card reader, it's much faster, taking more like one minute. It looks snazzy too; more well-made than the piece of crap off-brand my friend got free with a camera that he bought (and faster). There aren't a lot of features to have on something like this but it does have a nice green light that comes on while a card is inserted.

On Windows XP, no installation of any sort was needed; I just plugged it in and instantly I had an extra removable drive visible in My Computer, which I then setup to automatically open in an explorer window whenever a CF card is inserted. Pretty easy.

For reference, I am using Sandisk Ultra II CF cards with it.

I bought this reader after having some problems with other readers on my win98se op system. The install was seamless, and everything works perfectly.

Advanced HTC Thunderbolt Rapid Wall AC Charger - Amazingly powerful home charge design built with Go

Advanced HTC Thunderbolt Rapid Wall AC Charger - Amazingly powerful home charge design built with Gomadic Brand TipExchange
  • Power Sleep"" feature reduces vampire power draw 99%. Charger will consume less than 0.1W of power when in ""dormant state"" (e.g. not connected to the HTC Thunderbolt).
  • Advanced state-of-the-art internal circuitry protects the HTC Thunderbolt from power surges, overcharging, and short-circuiting, to significantly extend the internal battery lifecycle.
  • Gomadic Powerful High Wattage wall charger for home or travel use. Customized circuit design is based on the latest in power regulation and is tailored to the precise output voltage and resistor ID requirements of the HTC Thunderbolt (accurate to 0.1v!)
  • A quality product intended to be the last home/travel charger you ever buy! This product is backed by the Gomadic Lifetime Warranty.
  • Specification: Input Voltage (100 - 240vAC), Cable length (50 inches), Transformer Dimensions (2.0 X 1.75 inches), Foldable Adapter (Yes), Circuit Design (HTC Thunderbolt Specific)

UPDATE I've been using the charger for more than 2 months and I can't believe that the cord that attaches to the phone is already frayed. You can see the inside wires. This charger was poorly made.

I bought the rapid wall home ac charger for my HTC Thunderbolt cellphone. I really liked the wall charger because it charges my phone really quickly. The only thing I don't like about it is the cord is very short. It's even shorter than my bluetooth charger but it's worth buying. Also I received the charger very quickly in the mail. I gave this product 4 stars because of the short cord. The picture of the wall charger on the Amazon website fools you into believing the cord is long but it really isn't. :(

Wasn't quite as expected--supposedly meant to fit Tungsten T2 and E2 but I found it a trifle over-sized for my Palm device which rattled around a bit. It would be better for a thicker PDA or smartphone like a Treo I think.

Sharp Electronics ELS10BBLTranslucent 3 key memory Youth Calculator-Blue

Sharp Electronics ELS10BBLTranslucent 3 key memory Youth Calculator-Blue
  • Protective cover with snap closing perfect for backpacks.
  • New contoured design. High contrast keys.
  • 3 memory key. Plastic keys for durability.
  • Square root, percent and sign change keys.
  • Battery powered.

I was looking for a small quality calculator for my daughter; who is an RN. When I received this calculator, I took it out of the package to try it. I loved it! It is perfect; an attached cover, not bulky, nice key size and touch, pocket sized, and fits right into her scrub pockets. Many of her coworkers ask to borrow it. Great choice!

It is now April 9, 2009. The little calculators are still going strong in mechanics and structure. If my Amazon.com purchase is slightly under the "free shipping dollar amount," I add one of these to my order and hang onto it for birthdays, Easter baskets, Christmas stockings, etc. All of the recipients have been happy too!

Why is this marketed for "Youth"? I hesitated to buy it because the copy indicated it was not for us older people but it's perfect for me and I'm well past childhood, ha ha. Why so great? I'll tell ya:

1. Has necessary functions including percent, square root, memories plus and minus.

2. Doesn't have all those extra functions that remind me of my struggles with calculus .

3. Has an OFF button, missing on many calculators that eventually turn off automatically but make me feel like I forgot to turn off the stove. Note this clever little critter turns itself off anyway, if you don't.

4. Has an attached, hardshell plastic cover that snaps down to protect it from dust and whatever else is in my backpack. Or kitchen.

5. White numbers on dark blue are large and easy to see.

6. Numbers in display are even larger, HUGE in fact. Wow, what a difference! I didn't realize how much I needed this.

7. Face and cover are an attractive blue, with ivory back. Easier to distinguish from hard-to-see black things, thus easier to find at the bottom of pack or purse or see if misplaced. But is not as light as the picture shows. In order to get that picture, they must have back-lit the calculator. It is actually a respectable, translucent, darker blue.

8. Is petite, 4 1/4 x 2 11/16"; 1/2" thick.

9. Is shapely and curved, not rectangular with corners.

10. Costs little and is eligible for Super Saver Shipping.

On the other hand, the directions that came with it are in the most miniscule print I ever did see! Had me laughing. Maybe THAT'S why they market it for kids only youthful eyesight can read them.

This is a fun sturdy inexpensive calculator, without too many buttons to confuse things for kids. It does just enough stuff to be fun, and for the kids to feel like they understand what all the buttons do. We've had these for several years and they're still going strong.

I bought this for my nephew's first day of kindergarten. I needed something that cost just $3 to offset a $6 shipping charge. He loves this calculator and now he'll never have to learn pesky arithmatic!

  • Case allows complete access to all ports and screen
  • Interior pockets for storing ID cards, notes, and papers
  • and a loop for pen/pencil storage
  • Non-leather material is animal friendly!

material is nice, doesn't feel/look like cheap imitation suede. i wish there was a velcro/strap something to keep the nook init just stays in due to friction so if you drop/tilt it right it could totally fall out. still, it's sleek looking and works and i dig it.

This is a nice cover. I was hoping it was a little more leather like, but the material seems durable. I am able to flip the cover back and stand this up on my nightstand to watch videos. Wish the magnets were a little stronger. Putting a stylus in the center holder makes it a little difficult to close cover.

I must say it is everything I wanted and more. I truly love this product. It fits nicely too, so it doesn't want to slid out. There is a little pouch in the inside for my bus pass so I have the two things I need in the morning to make public transportation worth while.

The only small down fall is some sort of cover for the screen, but here on Amazon I can find something that I can put on and leave on not matter what cover I use. I will be buying more in many colors to match my moods.

Thank you for being you.

This would be an exemplary case for the nook except for several items, which may seem nit-picky, but to me, truly detract from what could have been a beautiful beautiful case.

Don't get me wrong, I do like this case quite a bitthe smooth exterior, magnetic clasps and a firm grip on the Nook when inserted, this case does deserve more attention than it's currently getting.

However, I have to focus on the negative sides in this case, as they are a strong counterargument (to me at least) towards the higher price of this case.

The "Binding" of this cover is too loose and flappy. It's even evident in the photosyou can see wrinkling and bulging in any photo that features the side. Even the main photo shows the binding isn't straight, and this is exactly how it shows on my case. Holding it doesn't give me much satisfaction, it actually nags at the back of my mind as "cheap!" Don't get me wrong, I'm aware that this is to allow the user to fully fold the cover behind itself easily, however I've dealt with enough cases that were able to do this without the cheap feeling.

Border bezel is off. While not too evident on the photos, the framing of my screen is more rhombus than rectangular. The corners of the inner bezel are very visible on the upper left and lower right portions of the cover. The cover border on the right is warping upwards, allowing me to see more of the nook's bezel more easily. The stitching is so concise that you cannot adjust the tablet to better fit this. Looks slightly sloppy, but once you actually are using the tablet, you won't remember these details. This is more of an aesthetic ding on their part (and this plays more into the price itself)

Fitting of the tablet might be... TOO flush.

The slot you insert the tablet into is open, as it is held in via tight friction. This means there is no guard to prevent it from hitting the ground if the case falls upside-down. Since the tablet fits in just flush, that means if you drop it wrong, case or no case, your tablet will still suffer drop damage. The chances are slim, but Murphy's Law is always there, so be careful.

Like the other reviewer, I really like this case. But for the price I did hesitate for a while, and even though I enjoy the protection it offers, I'll still always be a little irked at the small things that impede upon its perfection.

We considered purchase of a wand because sometimes, depending upon temperature or humidity or something, the finger does not work as easily as we wanted. But the truth of it is, the wand is not quite as good as the finger. It isn't worth sending back so we have a funny little pen that doesn't write or mark on anything.
