Kensington Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer and 2 GB Built-in Memory (Black)

Kensington Wireless Presenter with Laser Pointer and 2 GB Built-in Memory
  • Built-in laser pointer helps you highlight key points
  • 2.4 GHz wireless receiver for long-range use up to 30 feet
  • 2GB built-in memory allows you to store your presentations
  • USB wireless receiver stores inside the pointer; low battery indicator
  • Compatible with Windows 8

I own a Kensington 33374, the predecessor to this product and one of the most popular wireless presenters on Amazon. As I wrote in my 4-star review of that device back in March of this year: "One way that Kensington could make their next model more useful would be for the USB adapter to double as a thumbdrive. Since you'll be plugging it into the host computer anyway, why not put your presentation on it?"

My prayers were answered.

This model is practically identical to its predecessor; why mess with a good design? (The 33374 currently has 152 customer reviews averaging 4.5 stars.) It lacks the heft, chrome and fancy features of high-end presenter models--there are no programmable buttons, no mousing capability--but has all of the basics down pat: Just plug the tiny USB dongle into the computer you want to use (there are no drivers needed on any recent version of Windows or Mac OS X), then use the left and right arrows to flip from slide to slide and the top arrow to point a bright red laser point. (The lower button toggles blackout mode in PowerPoint, which is nice if you want to focus your audience's attention on something other than the slides for a moment.) It's simple, comfortable--and now it has 1GB of storage, enough for hundreds of ordinary PowerPoint presentations. The design is also slightly improved by replacing the distracting flash of metal around the controls with a high-contrast black color.

Any downsides? The price point is significantly higher, so you should think about whether the convenience of the built-in memory is worth it. One of the great features of the device is that the USB dongle slides right in when it's not in use. Some people keep a USB thumbdrive on them at all times. If you do, and if the computers you're going to be presenting on are sure to have 2 open USB ports, then you could save yourself a few bucks with the older model. But if you enjoy having everything in one single, simple package, then the premium is well worth it.

I love well designed products that have a clear functional target and meet it. This item does that. It is so hard sometimes for designers and marketers to keep from throwing extras that end up cluttering up the usefulness of something. This presentation tool is simple, elegant, and does what it needs to do very well.

Simple: When I am walking a group through a presentation, the last thing I want is to fumble finger some complicated remote. I've got my mind on a million other things and want SIMPLE technology that WORKS. From trying this with my laptop, the install was simple (plug in the USB receiver), the response is quick, and the buttons are obvious (other than the button that looks like a stop which is actually a black screen, but use this once and you got it). Simple.

Elegant: Each piece of functional design on this device is well done. Having on-board memory with the USB receiver is smart thinking. Storing the receiver in the device and at the same time, using that as a means to toggle the device on and off is clean, well thought out design. The tactile feel and heft just feels good.

Ergonomic: 4 buttons, each with a solid use to a presenter: forward, back, laser, and screen blank is all that is needed and is all that is present. Nice. As someone who does loads of presentations, that's all you need until you get into the realm of an air mouse Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse). I have large hands and don't want something the size of a car remote, this device feels comfortable in my hands without being too large and clunky.

The Bad:

So, why the 3 stars? There is just no getting around the price of this item. At the time of the review, the price is way too high. Price it around $35 (less than half the current price) and many people would be looking at this. A few more dollars over the current price and you have an air mouse, much more functionality. Heck, you can get a Kensington mouse with similar wireless functionality for presentations (no memory though) that is less than half the price... Kensington SlimBlade Presenter Mouse, Wireless Mouse and Presenter in One (Ice Blue) K72283US. Oh, and the manual is just horrible. Trying to put all the languages after each other is so bad, confusing, and useless that I am astounded that anyone at Kensington agreed to print it. Thankfully the manual is not a reflection of their product.

So, while I would like to shake the hands of the design team, either they put way too expensive components in this device or the pricing team for Kensington bumped their heads one too many times. No way does the current price point make sense.

Pros:

simple, easy to use functionality that works

well thought out design

great heft and feel to it

USB memory is nice

Neutral:

laser is ok, but would be GREAT if it were the green ones out now

Cons:

price

terrible manual

When I received the Kensington Wireless Presenter, I was hoping it would help me with my Powerpoint Presentations which I give to my students. I'm an elementary school librarian, and often have to sit desk-bound behind the children while they watch the screen and instruct them while they are facing away from me. This "wireless presenter" (which is simply a combined remote control/laser pointer) is very handy in allowing me to stand in front of the children, by the screen and point and click my way through Powerpoint presentations without having to stand by the computer. Simply load the presentation onto the flash-drive which is included, start the presentation from the flash-drive, and then direct it forward or back using the remote. The cost for this presenter is the sticking point, $75 my computer specialist here at school bought several wireless mouses (with laser pointers) for teachers at her other school for a mere $45, and it not only could do everything this remote could do, it also was a mouse for the computer. Cheaper, and more useful all around. The instructions included are next to useless (in eleven different languages!) but it's a simple device, and even computer novices should have little trouble in figuring it out.

When I first got the presenter it was great. Then the day I needed it for a presentation (after testing it the day before), it stopped working. Called Kensington to have them send a replacement. After waiting over a month, the new one arrived and was DOA. Called again to have it replaced and never received the replacement. Just called back after waiting 2 months and they send they will send another one. Last Kensington product I'll ever purchase.

I ordered this product in the 11th hour and Amazon came thru with a Saturday morning delivery. Great service! Having ordered a different pointer, I found the "other" one to be small, and it would rotate in my hand so it was difficult to use. This pointer feels great in my hand. I am able to hang on to it, and can easily find the presentation buttons without having to look down at the pointer. Very comfortable to hold.

I received complaints from attendees regarding the quality of the laser. It's not bright or bold enough for attendees to immediately find where I am pointing on my presentation. Dissapointment.

While I like the idea of the USB 1 GB Memory stick which inserts into the base for storage and turning OFF the pointer, it is NOT a feature I ended up liking. In four days I went thru 4 batteries (2-AA batteries each). They say the batteries should last a year. To get the stick out of the base, you must push in, for it to pop out. While the pointer was in my briefcase, the stick released, causing the batteries to be activated. I now have to take out the batteries after every presentation to ensure the life of my batteries. UGH! What a time stealer.

Come on Kensington, step up and make these minimal improvements and you would have an outstanding pointer.

rooCASE Dual-View Multi Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case Cover for Apple iPad 2 (Wake / Sleep Functi

rooCASE Dual-View Multi Angle Leather Folio Case Cover for Apple iPad 2
  • Dual-View Multi Angle Leather Cover for Apple iPad 2. (Wake / Sleep Function works on iPad 2, NOT Compatible with iPad 3/ The new iPad)
  • Genuine Leather with Micro Suede Interior.
  • Detachable Inner Sleeve for Handheld Operation; Sleeve Reattaches to Folio by Velcro for Landscape or Portrait viewing.
  • 3 Grooves for Multi-Angle Viewing . Magnetic Flap Closure. Access to All Ports and Controls.
  • A MUST Have for all Apple iPad 2 Owners!! Available in Black, Magenta and Red. Search: rooCASE Apple iPad 2 Dual-View

This is by far the best ipad case that I have ever bought and it was great bang for the buck. This item looks exactly like the other dual-view for the new ipad but the only difference is that the ipad doesn't automatically shut off when the cover is closed. There is a misplacement of the magnet on the cover which is why the on/off function doesn't work. Honestly, I never cared for that feature and in return I was able to get a quality case for a much cheaper price.

What I love about the case is that you can pull the case apart so that you can separate the outer cover from the ipad sleeve. This means that holding the ipad alone is much lighter and if you want to put the ipad in portrait or landscape mode standing up you could just stick it back onto the velcro on the outer cover.

For the price, this is definitely a quality item.

The case is as described, nice leather. However it is quite bulky which detracts from the sleek natural lines of the iPad

Want rooCASE Dual-View Multi Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case Cover for Apple iPad 2 (Wake / Sleep Functi Discount?

Two months spent looking for the "perfect case"; I can finally say the search is over. This case is spectacular. So far I have no negative aspects. The ability to rotate between portrait and landscape, to completely remove the sleeve containing the iPad 2 and the wake/sleep function (which does work for iPad 2)...it is almost everything I have been looking for in a case. The only thing "missing" in my opinion is a strap on the back of the sleeve to assist with holding while giving a presentation, etc. Furthermore, I am convinced that my iPad is completely protected with the cover closed. I am very pleased with my purchase, and I am convinced most other users will be as well. I highly recommend this case to anyone with an iPad 2.

***UPDATE***

After about 6 months of use, including frequent removal and rotation, the velcro no ceased to adhere to the inner sleeve, particularly in the horizontal (typical) position. This, I'm afraid, is a natural side-effect of frequent detachment of the velcro hooks and the felt fabric used on the sleeve. After trying a couple techniques to revitalize the grip, I finally resorted to removing the fabric from the area that contacts the velcro hooks, and I replaced it with Sticky-back Velcro, directly onto the inner wood backing of the sleeve. So far, this seems to work flawlessly, however, if you are not willing to make a repair such as what I've mentioned, you should be prepared for the failure of this velcro system. I will upload an "After" photo to illustrate the modifications I made.

I like the fact that it came bundled with the cables required to connect your laptop and tripod is included in the bundle which is very nice.

I've just ordered the iPad connector kit so that I can hookup to my iPhone and iPad.

Integrated speaker is loud enough and sound clarity is too good while watching movies without any distortion,Although I personally use an external speaker for getting a theatre effect. I could project the movie upto 100" without any resolution problems.

Supports Micro SD and USB, I connect my 1 TB external harddrive with USB to watch movies and it reads the harddrive without any issues

Battery Life comes to 1-1.5 hrs if watching a movie, I haven't got a chance to check with presentations and stuff

I'm totally satisfied with this product

If down-sampling 1920x1080 content to 854x480 counts as "High Definition", then what doesn't? Was a 386 with CGA monitor an "HD" video display, because all you have to do is transcode your BluRay to 320x200 with 4-bit color before playback? Falsehoods in advertising deserve 1/5 stars.

However: for all I know this is an excellent DVD-quality display, if by dumb luck the people responsible for hiring dishonest marketers also hired honest engineers.

CSSN Portable Business Card Scanner and Reader - Scan2Contacts

CSSN Portable Business Card Scanner and Reader - Scan2Contacts
  • Fully integrated into Microsoft Outlook ®
  • Auto-detect function
  • Extracts both data and image
  • No external power needed
  • No need to learn any new software

I was looking for something that would just scan cards directly into an outlook contact without going through clumsy intermediate contact management tools. This does it perfectly. Plugged it in, ran the install, calibrated and was scanning cards into outlook in about 5 minutes. couldn't be easier.

Buy CSSN Portable Business Card Scanner and Reader - Scan2Contacts Now

I had to return the first scanner I received because it did not work. This company does not provide any telephone contact information; you have to go to their website and send an e-mail. However, once you contact them, they are very helpful and very responsive. The second scanner I received does a good job of reading business cards. I do find it is necessary to check the information for accuracy before saving. The only time there seems to be a problem is when the business card is graphic intensive.

Read Best Reviews of CSSN Portable Business Card Scanner and Reader - Scan2Contacts Here

It set up and worked relatively easily with Vista and XP. It does very well with simple cards. No editing required. If the card has lot's of logo graphics or odd fonts, it has some trouble. It will also occasionally mix up an 'i' with an 'l', but that is understandable. Recalibration reduces the problem. It also did not recognize hand written corrections on cards.

The big plus however, is that it has a very slick interface with Outlook Contacts. When it scans a card, it loads what it read into the New Contact window and awaits your edits. It also drops a .jpg of the card right into the notes section for easy comparison. That makes corrections easy and allows you to toss the cards.

I was not expecting a magic reader and it isn't, but it definitely helped me clean up Contacts and the hundreds of accumulated cards.

Want CSSN Portable Business Card Scanner and Reader - Scan2Contacts Discount?

I had great hopes for this product, since some of our execs return from trips with a lot of business cards. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well enough for me to recommend it.

First, the plusses: It's fairly intuitive to set up and run. It's also pretty small and lightweight. It scans directly into an Outlook Contact record, so you don't have to scan it and then transfer it from somewhere else. It's also very good at interpreting which phone numbers belong in which fields (i.e., phone, fax, cell), and it's pretty good at scanning them accurately. You have the option of scanning a JPEG image of the card directly into the contact record, which I thought was one of this product's best features, and it will put a backup copy of the JPEG into whatever folder you specify.

Here's the stuff that doesn't work so well: The Optical Character Recognition software would probably work great for plain text, but this is a business card scanner. Everyone's card is unique, including the color, the company name/logo and the text, and this OCR software just can't cut it. Out of 50 cards I scanned, I had to correct about 75% of them. Some of these were simply changing an "l" to a "t" in the e-mail address, but sometimes it would just drop off or change whole pieces of text, for example, "Manufacturing" became "I Vianufacturing" and "Pete L. Chase" became "Pete L.". Also, if the business card had two addresses, such as a street address and a PO Box, it often missed one completely or put it in the wrong location. I did calibrate the scanner before and during use, per the instructions.

In addition, you should know that if you have Microsoft Business Contacts Manager, you cannot use the JPEG feature, which is not mentioned anywhere in the sales information. Because of how inaccurate the scanning is, you NEED this feature so you can refer to the JPEG in case the contact record is wrong. I had Business Contacts Manager installed, but I wasn't using it, so I uninstalled it before I started using the scanner. Unfortunately for some reason, Outlook considered the JPEG to be an "unsafe attachment", so it blocked me from viewing it in the contact record. I e-mailed Scan2Contacts, and after doing some troubleshooting with me, they could not fix the problem.

In the end, if I have to fix three-quarters of the entries (which means I have to proofread 100% of them), and I can't access the JPEG to see what's correct, why should I spend the money?

I do think there is one way this scanner could function: if you scan the business card but don't save the resulting Contacts entry, you will still have the JPEG in a folder on your computer. The scanner automatically files it alphabetically by first name, so you could create a "digital rolodex" of JPEG cards, although none of the information would be searchable. The only thing you'd have to watch is if it scans the name incorrectly, you'd have to fix the file name, or you'd have a hard time finding it. "Scanning and fixing" may be a little faster than entering information manually, and if you want a file of business card jpegs, maybe this product would be worth it to you.

I received this scanner as a birthday gift and I love it. Our collection of business cards cluttering up our wallets, drawers, etc. are now gone! This was incredibly easy to use once it was installed. Since I'm not very savvy about installing new software, I called tech support for help and they did an excellent job helping me get it done. I highly recommend this scanner.

Bundle Monster Nintendo Ndsi Dsi Nds Ds i Vinyl Game Skin Case Art Decal Cover Sticker Protector Acc

Bundle Monster Nintendo Ndsi Dsi Nds Ds i Vinyl Game Skin Case Art Decal Cover Sticker Protector Accessories - Yellow Floral
  • Prevent abrasions & scratching. Highly durable, dustproof & waterproof.
  • Skins are made up of ultra thin and superb vinyl material that is environmental friendly. These are NOT hard case or faceplate.
  • Fits well into most accessories and case & no sticky residue upon removal. Will not interfere access to buttons and slots.
  • This skin set will cover the outer and inner surfaces as pictured.
  • Skin set is for Nintendo DSi only. Installation is very simple. Self explanatory.

Product looks exactly as it does in the picture. The colors are very bright and the design is nice. Kinda reminds me of Okami :P Anyways, its not an actual case. Just gotta make that clear. Basically it's just a heavy duty sticker. So just make sure that's what you were looking for and not an actual hard case because it does say "Skin Case" that might confuse some.

There's only one 'bad' thing I have to say about it. It overhangs on the lid. So instead of folding under the sticker bends on the swivel and covers the game cartridge when you open it all the way. Not sure how I can explain it, but it wasn't really a big issue. I just ended up trimming it off with scissors but it still looks fine so that's cool with me. I give it a four because it wasn't a perfect fit but it still looks good and I like it.

Krusell Multidapt - Car Holder for Swivel Clip (58117)

Krusell Multidapt - Car Holder for Swivel ClipI recently bought my first GPS unit, the Tom Tom One, and quickly found out that mounting it on the windshield is illegal in the state of California. So, out goes the suction cup holder, which was flimsy and mounted it too far from my reach anyway.

I tried using velcro, which worked okay, but the GPS unit was wobbly and hard to use. I'd have to take it off, input the location then stick it back on.

The Krusell Carholdic Kit, in addition to the Krusell Phoneholdic Kit, was the perfect solution to mounting the Tom Tom on my dashboard. I can't stress enough how well it works.

The Krusell Carholdic Kit is the mount that goes on the dashboard. It's the female half, whereas the Krusell Phoneholdic Kit is the male half. You stick the Cardholdic mount on your dashboard, which looks like it should be there and has a sturdy feel. You just peel the backing off and stick it on.

The Phoneholdic Kit contains the mount that sticks to the back of the GPS unit. Peel and stick then use either the round Swivel knob or the MiniClip by snapping it in place (both come with the Phoneholdic Kit). I used the MiniClip because it provides the best hold.

You're done!

You've made your Tom Tom into a portable unit that can clip on your belt or onto the Carholdic mount on your dashboard. It looks and works great!

Handheld 2.4GHz Wireless Trackball Optical Mouse Laptop

Handheld 2.4GHz Wireless Trackball Optical Mouse LaptopI do a lot of travelling so I was looking for something small. I hate using the laptop pad and none of my mouses were small enough to use, such as at the airports or coffee shops. I came across this product and figure I'd give it a try. After the first time using it I was hooked. After it is charged it no longer needs the USB cable so you can relax, kick back and hold it anyway you want. I've been noticed by others using the product and have been asked about it. I'll surf the web while kicked back with a drink. The only way you'd know what I was doing would be from my right hand. It isn't as large as it looks in the picture which I prefer. I made the mistake of using it while I was home and when I was done my fiancé borrowed it. She could check up on her email or facebook while walking by or from the bed without having to go to her desk. Well to make a long story short, now I have to order a second one, which is why I decided to take a minute and write a review. Great product which I'm sure I will start seeing more of at airports and coffee shops in the future.

Update 01/09/2012 Opted to return this item for maintenance since after three months, the seller will not replace the item but provides a RMA number so the item can be returned for maintenance. I had to pay $4.93 to ship the item back to the seller. Now I have $34.90 invested in this product.

When I first received this product back in September 2012, I loved it. It was exactly what I was looking for so I gave it a high rating. It's small, fits nicely in your hand and all the controls are at your fingertips. After the second month of use, the on/off switch on the bottom of the track mouse receded inside the unit. I can still turn it off and on but have to use the point of the blade of my pocket knife and be very gentle toggling the switch to avoid pressing it inside the unit. If you let the battery run completely down, you have to shut the mouse off or it won't charge. In November I noticed something rattling around inside the mouse like something had broken inside. I was still able to use the mouse up until the end of December. Turns out a screw had come lose inside the mouse and finally fell out. After the screw fell out, the mouse caused the cursor to appear spastic on the screen. The cursor on the screen looked like it was having a seizure and the only way to make it stop is to tap the mouse on a something, shake the mouse or just turn it off. So after about four months of use, the mouse is useless. I sent an email to the email address on the instruction paper that came with the mouse but keep getting delivery failures. If you read the small instruction sheet that comes with the mouse it looks like a five year old wrote it. For all I know, they misspelled the email address.

If my previous review influenced anyone to purchase this product, I apologize! I hope you have better luck than I did. Though this track mouse is a great idea for laptop users, it's poorly made. I would NOT recommend purchasing this product!

I also thought the item would be bigger and was happy that it wasn't since I plan on using this for my laptop. This item works well and fits right in your hand. I have had multiple wireless trackball devices and this is at the top as far as price and comfort. It can by used on your desk using the laser or by the ball. Not sure about the battery life since I have only had it for a short time. It does need to be charged, but I didn't buy it for long term anyway. If it last after six months then I could definitely say I got my moneys worth.

UPDATE-Had item for over a year now and is STILL working great. The only issue is I wish the on/off button was easier to access because it is tight to get to. Still happy I got it.

This new track ball is so easy to install and use! Especially if you are disabled and can only use one hand.

Want Handheld 2.4GHz Wireless Trackball Optical Mouse Laptop Discount?

This item works but it is very small and is not comfortable to use (my hand size is normal). Also, the quality seems below par and the trackball moves loosely. When you hold it in your hands it feels like you might break it. It is not accurate either.

It is cheap and that is what you get for your money...for occasional use only....

rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case for Acer Aspire One AO751h-1893 11.6-Inch (Black / Pink)

rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case for Acer Aspire One AO751h-1893 11.6-InchThis case was absolutely perfect until the zipper on the small pouch broke soon after the case arrived. The case fits the Acer Aspire One 11.6 perfectly, and is really attractive. It also protects the computer very well. I love everything about the case except the zipper breaking. I don't know if the zipper breaking was a result of a poor design, or a manufacturing anomaly.

Amazon processed the return effortlessly. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to try this same case again, and test my luck with the zipper, or if I'll try something different.

If I knew that my zipper problem was a fluke, I would give this case 5 stars and buy the same one again in an instant. If I knew it was a design flaw and prone to happen again, I would give it none. Since I'm unsure, I'll give it four for now, until I hear from other customers about their experiences with the zippers.

Franklin WGM-2037 Word Games Bookman Card

Franklin WGM-2037 Word Games Bookman Card
  • Plays 10 games
  • Makes learning fun for all age levels
  • Includes old favorites such as hangman, jumble, and anagrams
  • Includes advanced games like Word Blaster, Word Train, and Word Deduction
  • Compatible with pocket and desktop Bookman models

I originally purchased this cartridge for my 11 year old to help her develop a broader vocabulary without realizing she was learning. She thoroughly enjoys playing "Hangman" and "Wordtrain", but the real surprise was how much her 14 year old brother enjoyed the other word games. The various skill levels allow for words that I don't even know! If this happens, a press of the button displays the dictionary entry for the word. While neither child cares for "Word Poker" or "Word Auction," the value of the other eight games makes the cartridge more than a worthwhile value. Other games include anagrams, jumble, word blaster (a speed spelling game), word deduction (a variation of word mastermind), memory challenge, word capture (a speed typing game), and Lotto for those of us who like to have our lottery numbers picked for us. All in all, the WORD GAMES cartridge has already provided more entertainment and learning value than I had anticipated.

This card is a good buy. I originally borrowed this card from my friend and since then have been stuck on Word Poker along with a few of the other games. While this card has many of the same games as the Franklin Electronic Dictionary I have, its still a good deal and very much worth buying!

iConcepts Thumb Board For Palm M500/505/515 Series

iConcepts Thumb Board For Palm M500/505/515  Series
  • One of the smallest, lightweight keyboards for your handheld computer
  • Unique style lets you snap it on to the bottom of the data port on your handheld
  • Tactile feedback keys lets you enjoy fast and accurate typing
  • . Engineered and designed for the mobile professional in mind
  • Compatible with the Compaq iPaq 3800/3900Series.

It's a tough job to add a useful keypad to a device that wasn't built with that in mind. This one is very lightweight, so the balance of the combined palm (m515 in my case) and thumb board is wrong, which further aggravates typing, and of course it's a hassle to use if you have the palm in a case of some sort.

The supplied software didn't work with the m515 at all--it never noticed the device. I had to download an update from the manufacturer's website, which itself is very hard to find (the actual manufacturer is sakar).

But it does work. Unfortunately you have to use the blue FN key to enter numbers, and the space key is unnecessarily small. For some idiotic reason there's no semicolon key (shifted, FNed, or otherwise). Perhaps a better idea would be a cabled or wireless keyboard, rather than this. I doubt I'll end up using it very often.
