Sony E-Reader PRS-505 Tablet Battery from Batteries

Battery works fine, but the battery warning light flashes when the computer is on. I think it puts out lower but still adequate voltage which triggers the circuits in the computer. I just taped the LED over.

Toshiba e755 Pocket PC with Win PocketPC 2002

• Expansion slots for CompactFlash and SD memory cards for additional storage and software capabilities
• 3.8 TFT touch-sensitive screen has a resolution of 240 x 320 with a maximum of 65,000 colors
• Built-in microphone, speaker and digital voice recorder
• Includes long-lasting Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery
• What's in the box: Toshiba Pocket PC e755, USB Cradle, 10W AC Adapter, 1-Stylus, Soft Slip Case, Quick Start Card and Warranty Card

(Note: The only difference between the e750 and e755 is that the latter e755 comes with a photo viewer software title on the companion CD. In fact, the machine in the e755 packaging is labeled "e750," so I'll refer to it as e750 in this review.)

Featuring a new mobile processor, the most internal memory of any PDA (64MB RAM plus 64MB non-RAM for a total of 128MB), built-in 802.11b wi-fi, the best PDA screen from Toshiba so far. and good battery life, the e750/e755 is close to being perfect. The compact (0.6 inches thin) and attractive form factor is a huge plus, as well.

The new Intel processor (PXA255 running at 400Mhz) is without doubt the star of the new line-up. It's an updated version of the first-gen Xscalar processor, which wasn't getting good reviews due to lack of optimization options. The e750/e755 *is* optimized for the new processor, which results in speedy application launches and operations. Nothing gives a Pocket PC user more pleasure than seeing his/her favorite app come up instantly. The e750 also allows you to switch between two speeds, hence you can choose between higher speed or better battery life. Even at the lower speed, PPC apps feel quick and responsive. The LiIon battery is user replaceable, and an optional "extended" battery is available now from Toshiba.

What's left to improve for Toshiba is their lackluster customer support. Also, because their PPCs are made by an OEM in Taiwan rather than in their own plants in Japan, the build quality is still a bit lacking, but the e750/e755 seems to be better made than the error-prone e740.

Update with more details:

The e750 is indeed a joyful PDA! The high price and the lack of a built-in camera aside -but who really needs the latter, right? -it really comes close to being a master-of-all-trades device. I haven't tested the wireless features as much as I had hoped, due to the fact there just aren't many free hot spots around these days. But I'll update this review when I get more hands-on experience in this area.

In terms of everyday use this is a true workhorse. I'll talk more about the specs below, but the numbers don't really reveal how pleasant using the e750 is. The hundreds of annoyances that plagued the e740, its older cousin, have been fixed. There are far fewer crashes and syncs go more smoothly. At just 6.5 ounces, while not the lightest Pocket PC, you get something very close to a handheld computer, especially when you get the foldable keyboard!

The e750 has a total of 128MB of RAM, 32 of which is ROM, 32 is flash-ROM (which means content stored on it won't go away even if the battery is completely dead... think of it as a small hard disk without moving parts), and the rest 64 is true user-accessible RAM. Having a real 64MB to play with is a bliss, especially for someone like me who started out with 16MB on the Casio EM-500 and last saw 46MB on the HP iPaq 1910. The extra 18MB makes a big difference. Now I can play Doom and Quake at the same time!

Given the thin form factor of the e750, it still amazes me how it can feature both a Type I/II CompactFlash (CF) slot as well as a Secure Digital (SD) slot. Since wi-fi is already built-in, both can happily be used solely for storage expansion. The highest capacity for SD right now (as of April 2003) is 512MB, but that costs a small fortune. The best value belongs to 256MB cards, and I highly recommend the one from Lexar (see my review there). If you put in a 512MB SD and a 512MB CF, you'll get 1GB of extra storage for under one-hundred-fifty dolrs! The CF slot can probably be used for other peripherals; but the situation is not clear right now as to which CF peripherals will be supported in the e750.

The 3.8-inch (measured diagonally) screen is the largest among Pocket PCs on the market today, and the best from Toshiba so far. I personally like the screens on the iPaq 1910 and Viewsonic V35 better, but this screen is more than "good." The resolution is still PPC's standard 240x320, so it would be nice to see someday PPC manufacturers would go higher than that. I'd love a PPC the size of the e750 but with a 4" screen and 320x480 resolution!

There are a lot of optional accessories you can get for the e750, including the foldable keyboard and extended battery mentioned above. This is truly an exciting newcomer to the PPC family... one that looks and performs like a winner.

Buy Toshiba e755 Pocket PC with Win PocketPC 2002 Now

I've recently made the decision to purchase a 755 to replace my

aging Palm unit. I'm still in the learning phase of using the

755/Pocket PC and so far I'm mostly pleased. So, instead of

reiterating the specifications of the 755 I will offer a

comparison to my old device and some observations:

The 755 has 48 times more memory than my 2MB Palm. Great.

The 755 has 2 memory card options. My Palm is ancient in this

respect, but more modern palms address this via SD.

The 755 uses a lot of juice (color screen/fast processor).

I get about 2.5 months of service on my Palm on two AAA

batteries (using the backlight on rare occasions. I

haven't tested how long the 755 would last on one charge,

but have seen the battery indicator go to 80% after an hour

of trying a load of things (browsing, music etc).

One item to note: after a few days of use I'm getting an

incorrect 99% charged battery on the Settings/System/Power

application. I'm not sure if I'm getting this because I

upgraded to ActiveSync 2.6 doesn't budge from 99%.

The 755 has WiFi built in. Did I really need this? Not really,

but I now can say Hey check this out man! So far I haven't

had any problems with JavaScript or formatting while viewing

my favorite sites. The only problem is the amount of scrolling

you will need to do to view the entire page.

Images look great on this unit. I used Photoshop Elements,

in batch mode, to downsize a folder of images to the screen

dimensions of the 755 and created a neat little slide show in

PhotoBase, an application that comes with the 755 (not the

750). You can imagine how thrilled I was to see color images

after using a Palm mono unit for almost 5 years.

The Windows Media player works better than I thought with MP3s

(I haven't viewed any movies with it yet). The music plays back

smoothly even when I am doing other things (eg File Explorer,

slide show). Okay, I'm lying, I got a couple of blips while

resizing a pdf document in Acrobat no big whoop.

This is one great feature now I can wait for the 40MB iPod

to come out.

Graffiti (Palm) vs Block Recognizer (Pocket PC).

I started using Transcriber for entering text I was

heart-broken. I couldn't enter text correctly, fast enough.

I exclaimed "Hallelujah!" when I discovered Block Recognizer.

It allows Graffiti input. Great response time and nifty

special character entry assistant.

Synchronization. Yikes! I'm going to have to get use to this.

With Palm, 95% of all applications/data get Sync'ed via Hot

Sync in a pretty standard way.

With Pocket PC there are number of ways this could happen. So

far I have come across:

* Drag and drop to Pocket Device directory

* Custom app install

* For media, creating a Playlist in Windows Media Player

and then requesting a sync from within the player.

* Copy application to device and then execute to install.

I won't enter my contacts or other "precious" info until

I fully understand syncing with ActiveSync and without first

coming up with a back-up plan.

One sad item...I can't sync up with my beloved ibook Windows

only! Real easy with Palm.

Software availability: Palm beats Pocket PC hands-down. There's

tons of software for the Palm, a great percentage free. I'm

not really complaining I just need a really good version of

Tetris and I'm happy.

The 755 has a very nice solid feel to it. I wish the sides

were rubberized though. I've dropped my palm a number of

times, thankfully it wasn't fatal. I'd hate to drop a ...[undisclosed dollar amount]+

device.

The sync base for the 755 is built extremely well nice

heavy metal with rubber feet. Unit slides in easily.

Reading books on the 755 is a pleasure compared to palm. Bigger

screen, nicer fonts etc. Also, I found mBook Reader (freeware,

downloaded it from the internet) to be good alternative to

Microsoft's Reader can read Palm format files!

Things I'm not thrilled about:

During the lifetime of my Palm, I've never turned it on

accidently. The Toshiba's record button is the first thing

that gets pressed when I take the unit out of it's sleave.

I believe this button can be remapped to some other function.

After inserting a CF card (Type I) there is a smidgeon of

space left over in the slot. I'm assuming that type II cards

are fatter. I'm worried about this if I can see the

contacts inside the unit, then a little drop of water can find

it's way in there also (think rain I keep the 755 in my shirt

pocket).

I had to reset the unit, using the stylus hole a few times

already. My palm is very stable, as long as I don't install

hacks that misbehave. I'm not sure who to blame yet (Toshiba/

Microsoft).

After one week of use, I'm pretty happy with this purchase.

I just hope I can get the battery indicator issue and sync'ing

procedures squared away.

If you just need a device to keep track of contacts and maintain

your schedule this device may be overkill go for a Sony SJ-33

instead (...[undisclosed dollar amount]). I just bought one for my wife.

If you need a new toy to play with on top of the usual PDA functions this unit looks promising.

I found this handheld device to be one of the best so far. With its new Xscale PXA255 CPU, the speed is amazing (nearly doubled in some tasks) and it also uses about 30% less battery power (1.3V instead of 1.5V for PXA250). The new 3.8" transflective LCD makes it the largest and one of the best screens in the U.S. Market (not including e550G from Toshiba Japan. The reflective LCD screen was one of the major draw-backs for the e740.) To correct viking632, the e750 has 64MB RAM + 32MB NANO RAM + 32MB for the OS. Most of the issues e740 had (1% battery, ActiveSync drop) have been resolved for the e750/755. With the added value of Wireless LAN, USB, (VGA with expansion pack) and removable battery, this is the BEST Pocket PC in the US market right now (Q1 2003). Highly recommend!

Want Toshiba e755 Pocket PC with Win PocketPC 2002 Discount?

Not as light, not as sharp, not as fast, and not as powerful as some other devices out there, this version of the Toshiba Pocket PC takes the features out there and combines them into a package that actually is better than the sum of its parts.

It's got the latest CPU and OS which, while promising a lot, are actually slower and less capable than they ought to be. It's got a new screen, while bigger and brighter than its e740 predecessor, is not as bright and sharp as other devices such as the Sony Clie.

It IS quite expandable what with its SD AND CF slots (important for someone who already has several CF devices and memory from other PDAs and cameras!) Not to mention the built in Wi-Fi which means I no longer need to carry a CF network card.

Only issues I have are that I also bought a couple SanDisk 256MB SD cards which seem to be incompatible with this device for some reason and Toshiba merely said to check the SanDisk site for compatibility. Seems that SanDisk doesn't certify this combination so be aware of that. Also this device still has a one touch record button that always gets pushed accidentally keeping the device on and taking up memory with nothing. They really ought to remove that.

Otherwise, it's probably the best Pocket PC out there.

The e755 has an outstanding screen, fast processor, tons of memory, both CompactFlash and SD/SDIO expansion capabilities, but the Wi-Fi is not quite fully functional.

When using the e755 Wi-Fi with a Netgear WG602 802.11b/g access point, the e755 handled the wireless linkup and communication very well, as long as I only configured the access point for MAC filtering and didn't activate either the 64 or 128 bit WEP. As soon as I turned on the WEP the e755 wasn't able to maintain a connection with the access point (which was within 10 feet and clear line of sight).

If you're looking for a powerful and flexible PDA with unsecured wireless access, then the e755 is an excellent choice, but if you also need to have your wireless communication encrypted you'd be wise to look elsewhere.

Sony Clie PEG-SJ30 Color Handheld

• Palm OS software version 4.1
• TFT color display with backlight
• Features 16 MB internal memory, 33 MHz CPU
• Memory Stick expansion slot
• Has USB HotSync cable, AC adapter, stylus, protective cover, installation CD-ROM

I had very clear evaluation criteria when I started my research on my quest to upgrade to color PDA. I wanted (in that order) -

1. Color screen with high resolution so as to allow me to show my huge collection of pictures.

2. Good form factor so that I felt at ease as I continued to use my new PDA.

3. Expandibility because the gap between the PDAs and the PCs are closing faster than you think.

4. Battery life Often times I take notes on my PDA during long meetings and the last thing I wanted was to have the battery drained out in the middle of an important meeting.

5. 802.11b compatibility (if possible, NOT a key decision factor)

I had been using Palm OS based devices for over 5 years but still I was very open to move to Pocket PC because of a huge upper hand of the Pocket PCs over the Palm devices in networking capabilities. And also because in the last couple of years, the Pocket PCs have shed a lot of their bulk have become reasonably small to be carried in a pocket.

I narrowed my search down to 4 PDAs -

1. iPaq 3975 mainly because of its bluetooth capabilities and highly sharp transflective TFT screen

2. Toshiba e740 because of built-in WiFi (802.11b), expansion slots for both secure digital as well as compact flash and changeable battery pack

3. Sony Clie T665

4. Sony Clie SJ30

Eliminated iPaq 3975 because even after paying that high a price, the PDA would still not have compact flash and built-in 802.11b. The screen resolution was good but not close to that of the Clie.

Eliminated e740 mainly because of extremely bad form factor. The device just did not feel good in hand. The record and power-on buttons could easily be unintentionally turned on. Its battery consumption was also a little peculiar. All of a sudden, it would drop from 80% to 10%.

The Clies beat every other PDAs in their screen resolution. The iPaq and the Toshiba appeared amateurish as compared to the Clies as far as image sharpness was concerned. On paper, the difference in resolution was only 25% (240 horizontal dots as opposed to 320,) but it looked a lot different.

The Clies were also a winner in the category of third party applications (Palm clearly out numbered Pocket PCs in this category).

The Wireless compatibility of the iPaq and the Toshiba was negated by the terrible battery life especially when the wireless connectivity is ON. If your PDA battery is drained out in minutes, there is no point in having networking advantage.

The SJ30 beat out the T665 because I did not want to pay the extra money for MP3 because I have a good MP3 player and I want to use my PDA as a PDA not as a music system. Secondly, the SJ30 is significantly smaller in length though its depth is a little more. But overall, the device felt good in hand and the difference in processing power (33 MHz as opposed to 66MHz for T665) did not make much difference in the performance of the device.

My conclusion was that the Pocket PC based devices are closing the gap with the Palm based devices but the Palm devices are still ahead in feature over price ratio. Pocket PC have a huge advantage in networking and wireless connectivity but the Windows operating system drains out so much power that the devices start groping for it very very quickly. And when it comes to Palm OS based devices, you just can't beat a Clie.

I have been using my SJ30 for a couple of weeks. All my colleagues and buddies who have seen my new PDA have all been amazed with the sharpness of the screen and the amazing form factor for a price that does not dent holes in your pocket.

Buy Sony Clie PEG-SJ30 Color Handheld Now

My old Palm V, which was purchased in late 1999, never was the same after I dropped it early in 2001. I tried to be patient, but having tasks disappear when a due date is assigned sort of defeats the gadget's raison d'etre, right? To make a long story short, I needed to get a new PDA PDQ!

This Sony Clie is a great little device! I looked at more expensive Sony models like the T665C and the NR70, but didn't feel I needed the 66 mhz processor, MP3 capability, or the ability to use it as a remote control for my home entertainment center. If you use a PDA to keep your contacts organized, remind you to do things, keep track of appointments in short, the basic things a PDA was created to do when it started to replace those old bulky organizers avoid over-spending and buy this device.

Naturally, the Palm OS works flawlessly, and it remains as intuitive as it did back in the Version 2.0 days. Sony throws in other programs that enable the device to display and edit Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and Powerpoint presentations. There are other applications, too, but I haven't had the chance or the need to use them. I will say that spreadsheets look terrific!

The screen's resolution is magnificent, and is superior to the resolution found on the Palm M515. 320 x 320 beats 160 x 160, or whatever poor resolution the M515 has. The plastic case is beautiful and matches the other Sony appliances around the house. It appears to be thicker than the Palm M series, but it is still light enough to put in your pants pocket and not make you feel uncomfortable.

Set up was really easy. I have a Windows XP computer at home, and I can't for the life of me understand how anyone could mess it up! I was up and running in no time at all, with my first Hot Sync completed, and all my data sitting on MS Outlook in my Sony Clie. Follow instructions, and you should have no problems.

The one thing that is missing is a cradle. The USB cable and power connector provided is nice, but I miss seeing the device standing tall in a cradle. Sony offers cradles, but I'll let you decide if the price tag is worth it.

If you are looking for fancy bells and whistles, and are able to afford the inflated price tags, this is not the PDA for you. But if you are looking for a high-res color screen, expandability (via Memory Sticks), Palm OS simplicity, basic functionality, lithium-ion battery, an attractive package, and a fair price, this PDA deserves lots of consideration.

I have no problems recommending this device wholeheartedly.

Read Best Reviews of Sony Clie PEG-SJ30 Color Handheld Here

The Clie PEG-SJ30 may not have all the bells and whistles of the more expensive PDA's like an MP3 player and digital camera, or built in keyboard. But what it can do, it excels at. I held onto my Palm IIIxe until I could find a reasonably priced color unit with some real improvements in features and performance, and this fit the bill. Sony has combined the most important high-end features, i.e. color, HiRes display and memory expansion, in a stylish, compact unit.

The Clie has several nice features. The screen takes maximum advantage of the form factor of the unit with just a small border around the sides and top. At 320x320 and 65,000 colors, the beautifully bright and clear screen beats any other PDA I've seen at this price point. Photographs can be imported using the included Sony PG Pocket software, and are crisp and clear. The extra memory comes in handy. With 16MB of RAM and a Memory Stick socket, I've been able to load all my favorite apps, games, and e-books, and still have 8 MB free. Sony struck a nice balance between size and feel with this unit. It's small enough to fit in a large pocket, but big enough to hold comfortably in the hand. The application buttons have been enlarged so that they are much easier to use than the T series which looked slick but felt awkward. The Jog Dial and Back buttons on the side are helpful for scrolling through documents or moving between apps. A lithium-ion rechargeable battery provides reasonable life I get 6-7 hours of use from a full charge. The stylus has a removable top which can be used to push the recessed reset button on the back of the unit.

There are a few limitations of the SJ30 versus more expensive models. Instead of a cradle, the unit comes with a rather flimsy cable which provides a USB connection and a connection to the AC adapter/charger. It lacks an MP3 player or video camera, but it's fine as an organizer, photo viewer, and mini game console. The screen is not as large as the Clie NX70, but it's quite easy to view text and graphics with its HiRes color display. The flip cover has somewhat limited usefulness -you wouldn't want to throw it in a bag without putting it in a case, but it's fine for protecting the screen while it is carried around or put in an empty pocket. The case is plastic rather than metal, but seems to be pretty sturdy, and doesn't seem to scratch easily.

There is plenty of great software (and a lot of freeware) for the Palm OS, and this is a big advantage for the Clie. I had several applications that I had purchased for the Palm and so I was reluctant to switch to a Pocket PC. The Clie comes packaged with several applications, including Documents to Go which synchronizes Excel and Word documents with the PC and supports the HiRes display. I had this app on the IIIxe but it was hard to get more than a few cells on the screen at once. With color and the HiRes display it's easy to use and view several lines of text at once. There are quite a few games and applications that now support the HiRes 320x320 screen of the Clie and they look great. I recommend a third party launcher such as Launcher X (my favorite) or Silver Screen. These smooth access to data and applications on the handheld, make it easier to manage them on the memory stick and look very nice in HiRes. Several applications support accessing files on the Memory Stick including Documents to Go. Memory Sticks are available in sizes up to 128 MB so there's plenty of room for applications and data. In addition, a backup program is included that copies the entire system to the Memory Stick.

Software Tip: If you're having trouble writing fast with Graffiti (like me) check out FitalyStamp. The application works by providing a stick-on overlay that has a stylus-travel optimized keyboard layout and the overlays can be cut to fit over the graffiti area. It's easy to get 30-40 words per minute with practice.

Performance vs. the Palm IIIxe is significantly better. Even large apps (1 MB) launch quickly and scrolling and switching between screens is very rapid. Reading files or launching apps from the Memory Stick is significantly slower, however. For example it takes about 15 seconds to load Zap!2016 (approx 337 KB) from the Memory Stick, but it's a small price to pay for nearly unlimited expansion.

I only ran into a couple of minor difficulties when using the Clie SJ30. After I took the unit out of the box (and charged it) I tried to beam apps from my old Palm into the device, but the IR port wasn't working. Finally, I hit the reset button on the back and then it worked fine, and hasn't had a problem since. Also, using the Memory Stick to store data and applications isn't explained very well in the documentation. After poking around a lot, I finally figured out how to transfer apps to the Memory Stick using Launcher X. I'm not sure if there are other ways to load apps on the Memory Stick, but with Launcher X, you can drag and drop the icon and then later launch it directly from the memory stick via its icon. I'm not sure how this compares with using SD cards on the Palm since the IIIxe didn't have that capability.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the device. It lets me use my existing Palm software, looks good, feels comfortable, has the color screen that I've been waiting for and does it all at a great price.

Want Sony Clie PEG-SJ30 Color Handheld Discount?

I had used my Handspring Visor Deluxe for nearly a year before I purchased this little machine. I wanted a well-built machine with memory expansion, a color screen, and a smaller form factor. And it had to be [inexpensive]. I didn't plan to spend any more than ...which meant that I was looking at the Palm m130, Handspring Treo 90, and the Sony CLIE PEG-SJ30. Due to the features and then a nice price drop on the SJ30 I ended up getting it.

The first thing that literally caught my eye was the screen. It is a spectacular 320x320 pixel 16-bit color screen that is brightly-backlit and also transflective. And the infamous grid-lines that plague 160x160 pixel color handhelds were almost invisible. It has 16MB of RAM, quite a nice amount for storing lots of programs. The Memory Stick slot is nice for adding expansion to hold lots of ebooks and pictures. The jog wheel is incredibly useful once you get used to it. It is also quite small and the thickness of the unit makes it comfortable to hold. It even comes with a well-designed removable flip cover.

I was a bit hesitant to get the SJ30 at first because I haven't had the best of experiences with Sony electronics as far as build quality goes. But the SJ30 is built very well. It feels solid, and even looks like the casing is metal (it's plastic).

My only complaints are the lack of a cradle and the slow speed of the Memory Stick slot. The supplied cable just isn't nearly as convenient as a cradle. I didn't expect the Memory Stick slot to be blindingly fast, but as reported by many reviewers the slot is a bit on the slow side. But these are minor gripes and I wouldn't even consider giving up this machine just for those reasons.

Overall I am extremely pleased with my SJ30. For the money, and a little bit above it, you can't get any better than this.

My first PDA was a Palm m500, which I still have, but I wanted color and I settled on a Sony SJ30 for my color PDA.

Compared to similarly priced Palm models, the Sony devices offer better displays and more memory for the same money. But those differences may not be all that they appear to be on the spec sheet. With the backlight on, the Sony SJ30 screen is definitely the best color screen available, but with the backlight off, it is the worst. The consequence is that you will always use your Clie with the backlight on, which greatly diminishes battery life. The marketing literature promises that the battery life of the SJ30 is 15 days, but that figure is based upon 30 minutes of daily use with the backlight off (which you won't do). In the real world, battery life is about two hours.

Secondly, although the Sony devices appear to give you twice the memory for the same money, the truth is that the Sony system (i.e. support for the memory stick) requires more memory for system software and includes some very fancy applications (i.e. World Alarm Clock) that you will not be able to delete from the device. Memory stick just does not integrate into the Palm OS as well as Flash Card, and therefore imposes costs in additional software needed to support the memory stick and is also significantly slower than the flash card. Moving programs and data to and from expansion media is much easier with Flash Card than Memory Stick. The only attraction of the memory stick is compatibility with Sony digital cameras and a lower price per megabyte of memory.

The higher resolution of the screen is likewise of limited value, since the tiny size of the screen is the real limitation to presenting information, and not the pixel size.

My conclusion is that the SJ30 is great for use around the house or anywhere that a charger is available, but if you need a PDA that can be away from the charger for more than two hours at a time, with effortless memory expansion, maybe you should also consider a Palm m130, m515 or Tungsten.

New OEM AT&T Apple iPhone 3G/3GS Black Mophie Juice Pack Air Rechargeable Battery Case

• original Mophie Juice Pack
• We sell only Original OEM Products
• The part is 100% original
• Blackberry Distributing Source
• Beware of Chinese Fake Copys

Great and excellent product. It's like walking around with a wall charger with u all day. What I do is use my phone without it and when it runs down to say 50% I slide my phone in the mophie juice pack air, and continue my day until its charged then disconnect so I don't have that "bulk" and weight with me all day. It's not really that bad for 3GS but the iPhone 4 has the huge bulk so that's how I use mine. It's a MUST HAVE item ...

BoxWave HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE mini Capacitive Stylus (Sparkle Edition) - Small Portable HTC Dr

• Works with all capacitive touch screens
• Helps avoid fingerprints and smudges
• Pocket-sized for added convenience
• Durable and responsive tip
• Adorned with shiny, diamond-like decorations

This bag really worth the paid price. It protects i780 very well and the phone fits in well enough to let us use the cell phone as it is not inside the bag.

Although I liked to have a patterned leather instead of a simple leather bag but this is not the seller fault. I recommend this for any i780 owner.

My phone dies quickly when I use the GPS, and I often have difficulty hearing GPS directions when my phone is just sitting in the cradle next to me... I only have the one cigarette-lighter to plug into, so I had to compromise or switch back and forth between being able to transmit the phone's audio, or charging my phone...

This multi-purpose adapter allows me to keep charging it AND it'll transmit the audio (in this case, the navigation) through my car's speakers. I'm very happy with this purchase! =)

GeoSafari Deluxe MagniScope

I bought this for my son's 9th birthday. The light stopped working seconds after putting in the battery. The entire Magniscope literally fell apart within five minutes. Don't waste your money!

This item doesn't even work. The little light that you are suppose to stick into the base to be able to even see anything isn't bright enough. There is no point in using the focus knob because you are never able to actually see anything. If you take it out of the base to carry around, which is a great idea, still doesn't matter, you can't see anything....Expensive and a waste of money!!!

My four year old had been begging for a microscope of his own. I didn't want to get him anything too heavy, breakable or complex. This was perfect. It is easy to use and has survived several drops to the ground. I wouldn't get this one for a child over the age of six or seven.

put the battery in? NOTHING. My wife had ordered the product like 6 weeks before the grandkids came for visit so she'd have it in time. It sat here wrapped up as a present. When she contacted the seller she was informed she'd had it too long (6 weeks or sommat) and therefore would only get half credit on a refund.

Won't be buying from that seller (or manufacturer again) Could be they're peddling factory "seconds" jccampb

Someone gave this to my son for his birthday and he was excited while opening it. Then we realized the bulb was not working, which made the entire microscope unusable. I wrote to the company and a customer rep promised to mail us a bulb. That was 4 months ago. We are stilll waiting. Clearly they do not make good on their products. This one should have been taken off the market.

Genus GL GSBK Shoulder Brace System Kit (Black)

• Adjustable for perfect balance
• perfect for DSLR and mini camcorders
• Adds stability to your shots by creating extra body contact
• Easy and quick to assemble

I've tried many shoulder braces, and this is easily the most comfortable to use, and also one of the most versatile. I must admit that most of the time I travel light, and so I will often configure it without all of the parts, but even so, it is a great piece of equipment, whether used in part or whole. You can feel it's quality no matter the use.

It is solid and well made. When you tighten the thumb screws they stay tight and hold the 15mm rods in position. When using matt boxes or follow focus on the rails it is easy to adjust your camera up or down as needed. Having the twin rails supporting the camera makes it hard for the camera's weight to cause it to roll on you. The hand grip is comfortable. Best of all though is the where the shoulder brace itself makes contact with your shoulder. The rubber cover makes it very comfortable (so much nicer for long stretches than the zacuto alternative), and the narrowness of it makes it so that it can pivot against your body, allowing you to easily adjust the angle from which you are viewing it. (So many other manufacturers have this piece being a couple inches wideredrock for example-, and the versatility goes way down.) This is key for me, since most of my photography and videography is of wildlife and done on a kayak, which means I can't pivot my body as much. In this case it becomes necessary for my camera to pivot, and when I use this brace it can. It is also very handy when standing on dry land, and you want to be able to pivot, without taking a step (and risking bounce).

All in all very well made and very versatile, one of my key pieces of camera equipment that travels with me, no matter where in the world I go (although I will usually only take the parts of it I need depending on the type of shooting I will be doing).

WiebeTech MJ-2 Mouse Jiggler

Both products are simple to use and work very. The slow version MJ-1 is a serious tool to keep a computer awake and does not interfer with normal operation. The fast one MJ-2 is good for a joke. While it will also keep the computer awake it moves the mouse so much that you cannot use the computer at the same time the fast one is active.

You might also want to note that on the manufactures web-site they go for $17 each. On top of that you will have pay shipping. For Amazon Prime customers it is still a better deal threw Amazon than going direct.

This product does exactly what it says. You put it in the USB port and it moves the mouse around on the screen very very quickly. Each movement is probably about 75 pixels in a random direction and the mouse pointer jumps from position to position rather than moving from one to another.

If you are getting this item to play a prank on someone, it is great. If you are getting it to keep your computer from going to sleep and/or locking due to inactivity, you would probably be better off using the slow version. The slow version you can leave in the USB port the entire time and you will never notice as it moves the mouse 1 pixel at a time and about once every 15-20 seconds.

Buy WiebeTech MJ-2 Mouse Jiggler Now

I was going to buy the slow mouse jiggler, but read a review that it will not move enough to keep your IM Communicator set at Green = Available. I purchased the fast version and it does the trick. The shipping was quick and affordable. I am remoteing into a work location desktop from a home computer, and the jiggler still keeps me active. Normally my IM will go half Green and half Yellow (Away) after 5 minutes. After 10 minutes, the entire icon goes to Yellow = Away. I put the jiggler on for an hour, and the icon stayed as Green.

Plug one of these bad boys into the back of your victim's computer when they go to the restroom, sit back, and watch the hilarity as they try to figure out WTF just went wrong with their computer.

For extra credit: When they leave their desk to get a second opinion, pull the jiggler out so that when they return everything is perfectly fine. Repeat as often as you can until caught.

Hardest part is not giving it away by laughing your arse off. Totally worth the price of admission.

The #2 jiggler provides very exaggerated motion, for those devices where the #1 jiggler won't keep awake. It is not for keeping plugged in while you are using a computer at the same time. Get the #1 jiggler (MJ-1) for that. Some devices that need to be kept awake while you are NOT using them require this exaggerated motion to prevent sleep mode--that's where the MJ-2 is great.

Acer Predator AG3620-UR318 Gaming Desktop (Black)

• 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
• 12GB DDR3
• 2000 GB 7200 rpm Hard Drive 128 GB Solid State Drive
• Windows 8

I don't know if my positive experience with this computer is reduced by the fact that it uses Windows 8, but I will try to base this review on hardware only. The computer has everything I was looking for, SSD hard drive, plenty of USB (including 3.0), nice graphics card, plenty of memory, I7 processor, and...windows 8. But lets not talk about Windows 8. The first thing I did was install an additional hard drive which was a breeze due to an external slide out tray which is located right below the optical drive expansion slot. Great! Exactly what I wanted, although it is not a hot swap HDD tray, you will have to shut down your computer to change the HDD. Once in, my extra HDD came to life and everything worked great. Next I added a blue ray burner. For that task I had to open the case and take the front panel off. No problem, couple of screws and the side slid off allowing the front to come off. I added the blue ray burner and that is when I noticed I do not have any more expansion slots except one PCIe left. Hmmm...missed that one when deciding to get this computer, I would have liked to have at least one PCI slot open. I'm not a computer expert but the motherboard did not look like a gaming mother board, it was basic...very basic. I put everything back together and my blue ray burner worked like a charm. For individuals who might be looking for a hard core gaming computer, I suggest reading details and specification, especially the motherboard.

So, nice computer, works great. Love the SSD...Windows starts in about 5 seconds. I gave it 4 stars due to very basic mother board and no expansion slots.

Very impressed the Predator. I'm not using it for gaming but Photoshop and as a house server. The C is a flash drive and just load my programs on it. I still have 50 GB to spare and it loads programs very fast. I use the spin drive to store my movies, music and photos. I also inserted my own 80 GB drive in the expandable drive which just meant pulling out the drive cradle, inserting my new drive, pushing it back in and powering up. One important factor to set up this computer out of the box is that you either need an HDMI or DVI cable as the VGA port is disabled.

Windows 8 is not that difficult either on a PC. I installed a "start Menu" application so it works just like any previous windows version so I can group and categorize my app's.

I spent a lot of time looking at different tower PCs. I looked closely at the iMac but to be honest it is overpriced for what is actually inside the machine. I was very close to ordering a custom PC but then came across the Acer Predator on Amazon. It had everything I was after. A good motherboard, plenty of RAM and harddrive capacity plus geared towards gaming. In addition it comes with SSD memory which I now realise is a real advantage. The only issue I had was learning how to make best use of the SSD vs. harddrive, but it wasn't really a big deal. Now I have all my programs on the SSD and my photos, music, etc. on the harddrive. This makes it very fast and much quicker at start-up after the PC has gone to sleep, etc. The PC is very quiet as the hardrive is used less and the fans don't kick in so much. Graphics are good I run Guild Wars 2 with no problems, plus multi-tasking is no issue either.

No comment on Windows 8!

AC Home Wall Charger Adapter For Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 US Plug

• Wall Charger/ Power Adpater For Asus EeePad Transformer TF101 TF201
• Input: 100~240V 0.3A 50/60Hz;Output: 15V 1.2A
• Cable length: 1M
• USA standard plug version

Please everyone beware. I've done several tests on this wall charger. It is very cheaply made and the adapter does not have the proper electrical filter for the transformer. Yes, it will charge your transformer just fine, but will do permanent damage to your chips in the long run. Because of the bad filter, there is too much electrical interference and will permanently damage vital components of your tablet, like your wifi chip and the capacitive touch sensor.

Amazon retailers need to stop selling these very cheaply made products that do permanent damage to your devices in the long term.

To get this item or not is entirely up to you. Yes, it will work just fine at first. But you will begin to notice your touch screen getting less sensitive. Your electronic components will begin to degrade. Your choice.

I took a chance on this item since there were no reviews, so I'll write one in case anyone else is wondering how this charger works. Well it charges my tablet (I have the "OG" Asus Transformer, but it claims to charge the 201 or Transformer prime as well and I would not doubt that it does. The cord is longer than the original usb cable that comes with the transformer which is definitely a good thing (that cord was way too short). It was a cheap replacement for the usb-wall adapter that came with the tab which I lost and is somewhat pricey to replace. My only complaint is that the charger ends in a "power brick" and blocks other outlets on my power strip, but it's not a deal breaker. All in all if you are looking to supplement or replace the charging adapter that came with the tablet I would say go for this one.

I made the mistake of buying this "charger" without reading the reviews. It is completely unacceptable, it causes the Transformer Prime to behave in an erratic manner. With no input from me, it began to un-install one of my important apps. When I press the icon for an app, it starts a completely different app. For all practical purposes the Transformer is unusable while connected to the charger. I only hooked it up for a short time, I hope it has not damaged my tablet. I do not understand why Amazon would allow such a product, with such negative reviews to remain on the site.

I had a car charger manufactured by God knows who.It always took forever to get the battery charged,the plug did fit loosely so i had to move the phone until the jack made contact and eventually the charger got totally inoperative.This charger is original,fits into the lighter socket tight as well as in the phone plug,so no matter how much you move it,it's going to continue charging.Charges the telephone very fast and,at last,but not least,it cost me $0.01+S/H.That's what i call a good deal,because back in the day i didn't buy the original charger because it was obscenely expensive.

This item is of the highest quality. It's made for Nokia, but works perfect with my Just5 phone. It is T-mobile branded.

Keep this unit in my vehicle for those time I forget to charge the cell prior to leaving home. It works as expected, fitting into both the vehicle's charger and the telephone's recepticle as it should, without movement, rattle, or shake, typical of an original equipement manufacture's accessory. What adds to the features of this unit is that the price was that much better from Amazon much less than any retail or wholesale emporium, and delivered directly to you. No searching for a quality peice at whatever price, wasting both time and petrol in that search.

Overall, this unit rates a solid 'ten', or five complete stars.

PalmOne m100 HotSync Cradle

• Serial backup cradle is great for home or at the office
• Makes your Palm m100 handheld easy to locate and keeps it out of harm's way
• Pushing HotSync button backs up your files and synchronizes with your desktop
• Note to Macintosh users: A Macintosh serial adapter or PalmConnect USB kit is required to connect to either the printer or modem port
• Compatible with m100

I recommend this accessorie for you Palm M100. It's better than the HotSync Cable since it gives you a place to put your Palm. But I only give it 4 stars since it should have came instead of the HotSync Cable when you buy the Palm M100. I really do not understand why you need to buy the Cradle in the Palm M100, when in the other Palms is not an accessorie. If you have the money and want to have a base station for you Palm M100, then buy it......if not, then I recommend you to stay with the HotSync Cable and save your money for other accessories.

This Cradle is designed specifically for your Palm m100. It looks neat on your desk all by itself, and even better with the palm in it. It should be noted that it works in EXACTLY the same manner as the cable functionally. It is the same speed and does the same thing. But if you are like me having your Palm on your desk with this goofy cable coming out of it is annoying. And as soon as you take the cable out it falls behind your desk never to be seen again. This gives your Palm a place to rest, it doesn't fall behind your desk, and it is easier to get the Palm in and out of this than using that cable thing they give. Highly recomend, wish it just came with it.

My Palm m100 came with the hot sync cable, which does what it is supposed to do must of the time (it usually takes 3-4 tries to get it to sync with my Palm and PC). This cradle is much easier to use and I wish I didn't have to but it separately. I just stand my Palm in the cradle, press the button and let it work its magic. It is also a great place to keep my Palm without having to worry about it falling off the desk.

I would recommend getting this if your Palm doesn't come with one. For me, at least, it has just been much easier to use.

If you have a 'busy' desk like I do, I used a 2-sided adhesive to keep the cradle in place.

Users of the Palm 100 would undoubtedly benefit from the easy to use m100 cradle. Instead of hooking up wires to the PDA, and running it in a "loose" mode while performing the necessary HotSync-ing, you simply place the m100 in the cradle and push the button to have it all done for you. Of course, in the box you got a cable to attach to your computer, but with this you now can update your computers at home and work without lugging around your cable.

I brought this with my palm since it didn't come with one. Useing it is more convient then using a serial cable. I don't back of my plam that often so I rarely use it. I probably could have saved some money and just used the cable. If you do backups or download programs often it's a good buy.
