Collapsable Cooler
This is a great, large cooler that collapses and folds neatly for storage. Unlike the old, bulky plastic coolers, the Coleman Collapsible chest is lightweight and holds a LOT of product. We took is camping and it stored all our food and drinks for two nights (including a 20 lb bag of ice!). The velcro flip-top is handy if you want to quickly grab something inside. And best of all, when you're done, it folds up flat and securely with velcro straps and can be tucked away. I love this cooler and cannot imagine going back to the hard plastic ones. Coleman Collapsible Chest Cooler (Color May Vary)
This cooler is great!! Don't waste your money on more expensive collapsible coolers and spend the extra on this one if you were thinking about purchasing a cheaper one. It's well built and sturdy. I bought it because of the Coleman name, and like my other Coleman gear, it doesn't disappoint.. The handles are solid, the zipper works great, and the outside fabric feels like it can take a beating in the back of a pick-up and still clean up to look like new. The liner is good quality, but you'll have to be carefull pulling out the included frame (although I don't think I will use it as the cooler holds form without it). It folds down flat in a snap and holds with strong velcro (not the flimsy cheap stuff). I haven't filled it full of cans, but it could easily hold 18 cans and ice and some food. I tipped it on it's side and used it to transport a Costco cake--fit perfectly!
I needed a new chest cooler, but was sick of these things taking up precious garage space just to be used a few times a year. This cooler is the answer. The make of it reminds me of an oversized lunch box, but it doesnt leak and keeps my beverages nice and cold. It is, however, a little shorter than other chest coolers which is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.
It weighs a ton...so not good to say take on the back of my bike trailer. And it's just so so in use. I know others love it. We got ours from Cabella on sale 3 years ago or more and it's exactly this model and red too. Neighbors bought one and they love it. But seems to lack holding the cold and can leak too if you use ice that melts or packs that leave condensation. Basically well end up selling at a garage sale...just never have one of those...this well be in it when we do. I'd sell it on ebay but it's too heavy and bulky to ship even collapsed for what it is...and it's essentially just like new. I see a lot of others like it like our neighbors? We all have various likes and dislikes and that is what makes us all fun people. I'm giving it 2 stars for concept...but ditches it on the execution.
If you're tired of having your ice chests take up too much space in your garage, this is the one for you. It folds down completely flat and easily opens up into a huge ice chest. It's the only way to go.
Purchased the cooler so we would be able to pick up items that need to be cold on very warm day until we got home. This cooler really fills the bill because it allows us to keep it in the car when now in use, easy set up and knock down, and most inportand keeps the items cool and does not leak all over the car. This chest is also easy to clean and restore to storage area so we always are prepared when we go shopping. Would recommend this chest to anyone who would like to have a good chest at a reasonable cost.
Went on vacation and needed to bring along a large cooler but had limited space. This was the ticket. The setup consists of placing a three tiled reinforcement wall inside the cooler. You need to be gentle in order not to damage the plastic wall interior. Held one large bag of ice and several cans. Used it for one entire week and did not leak. However, there was some sweating on the bottom and the sides of the unit. Would recommend it for folks looking to save space on a trip.
This cooler is really great!! It is strong, holds up very well but collapses easily and folds for storage in a small space. It's a large cooler and great if you need to store it in a NY apartment or similar where there is rarely room to store anything other than essentials!!
This is a great product. It's great to be able to keep it in my vehicle and ready to use when I need it. I don't have to worry so much about rushing home after shopping because I know my groceries will stay cool and comfortable. I have only had it a week and have used it several times already.
Used this in our car on a recent long road trip. Fit perfectly in the folded down seat and when we reached our first stop after 10 hours on the road, everything in the cooler was still cold.
Leave it to Coleman to have a fabulous product. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great cooler which stores very easily.'

Pogo - photo printer, instant photo
Bought this when it went down to $49.99, and it was love at first try. It is so handy, and the kids love getting a little photo instantly (the polaroid effect). Here are a few things to keep in mind:
1) most of the film that you will find now (until Christmas) will be expired - I called Polaroid, and they said they are not discontinuing the line, but they will not be sending out more film until Christmas 2009. you can buy film directly from polaroid - and they stated it won't be expired. Truth is - I bought 2 30 packs from Target yesterday (that were expired - at a discount), and they came out fine.
2) this is best used when you have an outlet - it is true - it doesn't last long on one charge
3) you can use your camera USB cord, or anything that is Bluetooth enabled (even your phone or computer). The code is 6000 (I missed that on the instructions that I threw away). I used to think that I couldn't use anything that didn't have a USB cord, but I was wrong - great thinking on the Bluetooth!
4) photos are best when they are facial closeups. Far away shots just don't look so great on 2x3 film
5) photos take around 20-30 sec to come out - and yes - the paper is hard to destroy, and no ink mess! Polaroid ZINK Photo Paper - 30 sheets
I have no issues with this product specifically. However, BUYER BEWARE! Amazon seems to be trying to unload it's expired stock by opening the packages, and removing the expiration date on each of the Zink packages inside the box. I ordered the 30 sheet box yesterday, and it arrived today. I had read other reviews stating that the expiration date had been removed but I was hoping this was a fluke incident. Turns out, it's not.
I realize that this product isn't super popular, and honestly I wonder if Polaroid will continue to make this paper at all (they don't have the best track record for "new" products). I assume that they figured the demand for this paper would be much higher, and hence they overproduced it. Amazon had too much stock, and now they're trying to sell what they have left by being sneaky and removing the expiration date.
I will still try the product and see if the paper works despite the fact that it's expired. I sent a formal complaint to Amazon and I suggest you do the same if this happens to you.
Note: I'm a Prime member, and I've had nearly flawless experiences with Amazon.com over the years, so this really is an isolated situation, but I think it's worth publicly explaining it so that other customers don't end up ordering paper which doesn't work. Once again, I will revise this review once I test the paper when I get a chance.
I really really really like this paper. It's made for the PoGo, and it's just about perfect fun. It's almost indestructible and it's also a sticker! Love this stuff, really. Just watch out for the expiration date!
PS,
I've found it cheaper in most cases to buy several 10-sheet packs instead of the 30-sheet pack.
I purchased 10 Polaroid CZA-10011B PoGo Instant Mobile Printer (Black) and 10 Polaroid CZA-10011S PoGo Instant Mobile Printer (Red) to give as gifts this holiday season. Along with these I purchased the Polaroid PoGo ZINK Photo Paper.
The Pro's:
+ Fun device (the PoGo printer...) produces quick borderless images from your digital camera or phone via this paper.
+ Photo paper can be quickly applied to a scrapbook, card, or journal due to the ability to peel off the backing of the photo paper to adhere it to anything quickly.
+ No ink smudges - the no-inkjet technology allows the paper to come out as dry as it went into the Polaroid PoGo.
The Con's:
- Only 1 size; 2"x3".
- Color is somewhat faded and in my testing, more blue than 'true'.
- Relatively expensive photo paper.
For what it does, this paper is OK, but nothing spectacular. If the colors were truer and brighter, I'd like the product much more, but in all honesty I don't know if that's the media or the PoGo's fault?
my friends were astonished when they saw print paper released from the printer seconds after i clicked my camera.i also read from other reviewers about expiration date,i did'nt see any expiration date mark on my package so, i think it's not an issue to me.
I purchased the polaroid PoGo printer because one of my officemates bought a polaroid camera using the classic polaroid paper. the pictures printed on her camera was satisfactory, the colors were bright compared to the zink paper. All my printouts using the zink paper are very light even though the camera that I use has sharp colors. I was very disappointed because it didn't even match the quality of a photo printed on a normal inkjet printer. Although printing was quite fast and it is portable, the quality is very poor.
I use my Polaroid Pogo printer with these papers for printing pictures from my MacBook and my Google G1. Whether I'm on the go or at home. Friends can have their own copy of a picture instantly! Or I can print a copy of my business card if I left the cards at home. Plus they work great for adding pictures to my Moleskine or other my other journals. In short, I adore both the ZINK technology and the Polaroid Pogo. It's a must for gadget lovers, creative journalers, scrapbookers (if you're into that), or anyone who snaps pics while out & about! - Instant Photo - Zink - Polaroid Film - Photo Printer'

Western Digital 1tb - mac compatible, western digital 1tb
I work for Computing support at Arizona State University, and I have enough technical knowledge to be certified as a TECH JUNKIE :).
I am a photographer too, so I have tons of Photos (about 160GB), Videos, Software, Movies and Documentaries. I was looking for a simple external hard drive without any backup software included, I am smart enough to do manual incremental backups with file tree structure intact (I use GOODSYNC to backup, its very simple and easy to use and free).
I have looked at many many external HDDs and narrowed down to two models "Samsung Story 1TB - very good one too" and this one (I wanted it to be cheap too - got this for $85 on [...]). I did not go with other WD models because of their annoying Backup Software.
Coming to the WD Elements 1TB: Its much smaller than I expected. It is dead silent, I had to touch it to convince myself that it was running, when I first turned it on. Its not too heavy either. The indicator light is placed at the rear, which is a very good thing (I find these LED's annoying, especially at night).
After I did the first setup, I copied 383GB of data (931GB was total space). It took about 4hr 47min, speed varied between 20MBps to 37MBps. This is pretty good speed for USB 2.0. It was just a bit warm (my old segate hard drive would be very very hot for this amount of data transfer).
I would recommend it to beginners or pros alike. I am very happy with this purchase!
UPDATE:
After about three months of heavy usage, it never gave up on me. Its still dead silent and works flawlessly. It never got even warm!!
Follow these steps to get GOODSYNC for FREE:
In the beginning GOODSYNC was free, later they made a paid version as it gained popularity..
but there is a way to get PRO version for free...
1. go to good sync website
2. signup for a trial offer and you get PRO serial for free (I signed up for eMusic trial)
3. Once you get the serial, end the subscription before the trial expires...
NOTE: The above mentioned procedure may not work anymore :(
UPDATE: 07-28-2010
I sold my WD Elements 1TB and got a 2TB one a couple of months ago(as my data is on rise all the time), couldn't be happier :)
I bought it from TigerDirect for [ ... ] and got [ ... ] cashback via [ ... ] ...awesome!! Western Digital WD Elements 1 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive
I bought this on sale at Fry's for $99, way below the amazon price. I wanted something simple as most hard drives these days come with their annoying built in software which cannot be deleted (like WD Essential Edition). This is a hassle free drive and is not bundled with any of the extra software which is exactly what I wanted. You simply plug it in and it works. It can easily be formatted to work with macs as well. I've been using WD hard drives for years and I own several models of the "essential" and "passport" editions. They are very reliable.
This elements hard drive has a sleek and sexy, minimalist design. It is well built overall and constructed of durable plastic. There is a slot for the USB cable, a slot for the power adapter and a tiny circular white light which blinks when it is in use (the light is not overwhelming as some hard drives can be). All three of these features are on one side/face of the hard drive (as shown in the picture), so if you have this plugged in and it is facing away from you, you won't see the light at all. This doesn't bother me but it may be a turn off for some people.
When in operation, it is very smooth and quiet compared to other WD hard drives I own. This may be due to the fact that it is closed entirely and there are no holes for ventilation as in other WD models. But this doesn't bother me because I just use this as a backup and don't need it on all of the time. This could (emphasis on "could") be an issue if you are constantly using your hard drive because it may become hot. I haven't experienced this at all, just speculating. If you are just backing up files and, say, watching a movie on your computer which is stored on the hard drive, I think you'll be fine and there won't be any heating issues.
More info here on WD's website: [...]
I purchased the 1tb Elements (WDBAAU0010HBK-NESN) for use with a Dish DVR 622.
Installation was was truly "plug and play". I simply took it out of the box, plugged it in, and it was immediately recognized by the DVR. I have since transferred about 200gb of content to/from it, and have watched content directly from the drive. So far, it is working perfectly. It automatically spins down after a few minutes of non-use, as well as when the DVR is powered off. It also spins back up automatically (less than 10 seconds) when the DVR accesses it.
One thing some people might not like: The case is designed to sit flat (as pictured), not on its side. There are four small non-skid pads on the bottom corners, but none on either side. There is no indication on the box, in the documentation, or on Western Digital's web site as to whether the drive will work properly on edge. As a general rule, WD drives are designed to operate sideways or even upside down (any X,Y,Z orientation), so this one probably will too -- but you'll need to provide your own non-skid pads.
Several similar Western Digital drives, such as the late model "My Book" series, now include a firmware-based CD-partition that is difficult to remove, and can cause compatibility issues with some devices. That partition contains backup software and utilities that are of questionable value in any case, and of absolutely no value when using the drive with a non-computer device (like the Dish DVR). The Elements -- at least at time of this review -- doesn't include any of that junk. (Note: WD does have a downloadable utility to remove the partition from the other drives, but if you don't want that junk then save yourself the time/trouble and just buy the Elements drive.) - Easy To Use - Mac Compatible - Western Digital 1tb - 1 Tb'

Cell Phone Cover - case, cell phone cover
I've been through three protective cases in nine months for my Droid. The first two eventually wore out so the tabs would not keep them attached to the Droid. One wasn't rubberized as it said on the ad, but it was a hard plastic case and protected well until the tabs gave way. With this one I decided to live on the edge and get someting besides black. You're never quite sure what you will get until it shows up, but this was exactly what I expected. Great color, (matches my new Honda Civic) and it is rubberized. In the couple months I've been using it, it is working and looking great. Added bonus, it costs less than most of the others I found online. Cellet Red Rubberized Proguard For Motorola Droid A855
I had to wait 2 days before I could stomach putting the case onto my phone. The initial smell was horrible (combination of rubber and spray paint). For the first week, I had to wash my hands after touching my phone or this odor would remain on my hands.
Also within the first week, the outer coating of the paint began to peel. I find tiny shavings of plastic left behind where my phone has been. It's taken a month, but the entire front case and the top and bottom edges of the back case now look a different color than the rest of the surfaces.
At first, the case fit very well. It was easy to slip on and stayed in place. All buttons and ports are easy to access. I have had no trouble with phone functions with this case on. I've slipped it off and on dozens of time with easy.
Now after a month, he front cover is starting to stretch. When I swipe side to side the outer edges of the front case bow. There's just enough room to collect dust between the cover and the face of my phone. It still remains intact and stays on tight during normal use. The phone functions are not harmed. However when I carry my phone inside a bag, the face cover comes off every time and has since about the first week.
PROS:
Price
Initial fit
Easy access to all ports and buttons
CONS:
Smell
Paint peeling
Case beginning to stretch
Questionable longevity
This cover does not fit the original droid, which it states that it does. The back fits ok, but the front pops off easily, making it even easier to drop and break your phone! Plus, the front cover does not look like the picture, it has 3 extra holes at the top which makes it look very cheap. Do not buy this cover, you will waste your money!
I found that the texture of the case was pretty cheap and made of plastic. Although the picture looks decent, the cover looks pretty ugly in real life. It was a waste of my money. And, I really was not satisfied with this product at all.
Case did not fit, only the bottom half did. The top would not fit over the screen side of the A855. Ended up snapping the case trying to get it to fit. Best option is to order original OEM case from Verizon Wireless. This case is a generic case and will not fit.
It is in no way rubber, it has an incredibly thin layer of what feels like rubber, but I think its just the final coat of paint which by the way does look very nice, but it isnt all that durable. I have owned this exact one before but in black and it lasted about 3 weeks before it broke, if you're looking for something temporary then this will work fine. Dont get this if you absolutley want %100 rubber or something permanent, and ignore the reviews that say this truly is rubber, because those reviews are the ones I based my decision on....and well look where it got me.
I received this item promptly and it was a wonderful metallic rubberized plastic. The bottom slipped on like a dream. The top, however, was about one quarter to one half inch too small. It is obviously not the top designed for this phone. A quick glance at the two pieces makes it abundantly clear that they are mismatched. I don't know if this is a quality control issue or a terrible product overall. The cost of shipping it back is not worth the price of the product so I will have to eat the loss and vow to stay away from this seller. - Cell Phone Cover - Droid - Case - Red Case'

Usb Speakers - usb powered, laptop speakers
I build PCs occassionally for myself and friends. I am also an audiophile. These speakers were purchased just to test my PC builds. However, as I was loading software one evening, I decided to test them on a variety of music. Note, they use a speaker plug for the sound signal and a UBS connector for power. Here's what I found: 1) sound level was high enough for listening at your desk or in an office sized room, 2) low end was adequitely present but weak, & 3) instruments were exceptionally clear and detailed. These speakers are great for listening to Jazz or classical music. They are adequate for rock but if you really want to feel the bass, you have to go larger and with more power. For the money, they are pretty good. Four stars only because they don't do everything well. However, in their class, they should rate 5 stars. Philips SPA2210/27 Notebook USB Speakers
I needed an inexpensive set of USB-powered speakers for a particular task and decided to purchase these based on price and appearance. Speakers arrived quickly and in working order. The speakers are nice looking and feel solid. Sound output is a little low but of good quality. All wires are permanently attached and are too long to store inside the built-in cord management cavities.
These speakers are an amazing deal. The sound quality is superb (maybe not as heavy on the options but it serves my purpose). I'm using it with my Toshiba Satellite laptop (whose built-in speakers are quite low) and am greatly enjoying the experience.
The speakers work but they need a headphone jack for audio in. The usb port is just for power. My computer clips the low end sounds from my headphone jack and is not adjustable. That is why I needed speakers that got power and sound from the usb port. It's misleading the way they explain it, and they only show a usb port in the picture. Wish I would have read the other review that points this out.
If you are like me, a person who uses his laptop alot for music and movies, then these wonderful speakers are just the thing. I have a great computer that goes everywhere with me, and for whatever I may need or want to do. Like most computers the built-in speakers are marginal at best. Wouldn't it be nice to have a small set of speakers, that are powered by your computer, sans needing batteries all of the time, and have a quick set up resulting in a rich full sound? Well I did, and love these speakers.
I have read many of the reviews and folks, remember this. THE PRICE!!!!! For the price, you just cannot beat Amazon reduced pricing that makes them so great. My speakers are way-cool, enough bass to have a rich sound, but remember folks, they ain't Bose speakers. I got my pair for way under $20. Music sounds great, full and rich. Movies are better with my new speakers. And if you can spread them out, since you get enough cord, the dynamic sound is awesome. I highly recommend these to anyone that is looking for value versus quality. Inthis case there is a very nice balance.
Enjoy!!!!! - Speakers - Laptop Speakers - Usb Powered - Portable Speakers'

Gmrs-frs Two-way Radios - gmrs-frs two-way radios, motorola
First of all, all the distances advertised on any walkie talkie like this is based on mountain top to mountain top communication, where the valley increases the range, and no obstruction. That is where they based the 35 miles. For city use, in malls, house to house and areas with trees will be between .5 to 1 mile at most. Since I have been using Motorola Walkie talkies all my life so I knew what I was buying.
I experimented with 3 different models of Walkie talkies in the mall with my wife. First we tried the 5 mile Motorola. I was on one end of the mall inside Macy's and she was on the other side in Nordstrom. She could not even hear me.
We tried the 10 mile Motorola. This time she could hear me press the talk button and a few garbled words, but that was it. We could not communicate.
We tried these 35 mile ones last. We were able to hear each other just fine. Not bad considering the distance and the number of obstructions.
I have also tried this on the open road for car to car communication and it can reach the horizon. If you want more power, you will need to get a license and buy a 5 watt radio.
This Radio has many nice features you would normally find in Professional Radios 5 times the price of this.
UPDATE SEPT 25, 2009-
This radio has a really nice feature I just discovered. It has the hands free iVOX capability. It will broadcast when it hears a sound. There are 3 levels of sensitivity. I tried it as a baby monitor. I left my wife and baby while they were asleep and turned on the radio to High power on one of the GMRS channels(I have an FCC license by the way, so I can use this channel). I drove about 1 mile to my brother-in-laws house. The Radio worked as a long range baby monitor! It was impressive considering that the radio was indoors and I was not line-of-site, and it reached a mile. Very amusing.
I would advice getting an FCC license so that you can use the High power GMRS channels legally. With these radios, it is about 1.5 to 2 watts. If you use the FRS channels 8 to 14, all walkie talkies including this will only use 0.5 watts. Channels 1 to 7 are GMRS/FRS channels. You cannot legally use the high power PTT button if you do not have an FCC license. Channels 15 to 22 are GMRS channels where you can use the High power mode exclusive to GMRS radios. Go to the FCC website and pay the fee for a GMRS radio license, it is good for your immediate family for 5 years. It is worth it if you use it all the time.
****Update October 26, 2009****
I will now detail what I have found out about my Motorola:
Pros:
1. In door range - This is the mall slayer. Go to any mall and give your kids one and you will be able to talke to them pretty much anywhere they are.
2. Audio Quality - Very clear and very loud.
3. Outdoor Range - It has almost the same range as my Icom professional radio which has 3 times the power. That is basically because outdoor range is more about antenna height rather than power.
4. Flashlight - Very useful when you go camping. You dont have to bring an extra flashlight. It is bright. Excellent for emergencies.
5. iVox - Hands free operation. Very useful as a 1 mile baby monitor.
6. Call button - I can call the other radio so that they know I am trying to call them so they can pick up the radio.
7. Emergency button - It will send an alert so that the other person knows you are in trouble.
8. Weather channels - I use it to find out the weather, specially before going Kayaking.
9. Privacy Codes - it has so many Privacy codes so you will never be disturbed by other radios.
10. QT - You can restrict the radios that you hear to only Motorolas.
11. Scan - well most other radios have this too.
12. 2 power settings - You can either transmit on .5 watts or 1.5 watts, depending on the button you press. Unless you are using FRS channels 8 to 14 which are hardcoded to use .5 watts.
13. Vibrate feature - In case you are in a noisy place, this is useful.
14. Ease of use - It does not get easier. Instructions are clear and it is intuitive.
CONS:
1. I am still trying to find one.
********UPDATE December 27,2009*********
I conducted another Distance and clarity test:
Equipment:
1. My Icom F21 UHF 4 watt Professional Handheld Radio(same one Police/Sheriff use. $380 for a pair)
2. My Motorola MR350($59 a pair)
Parameters of the Test:
I have a 40 Watt GMRS Base Station at home. My Home is by the Beach Blvd. I will drive North on beach Blvd and at every quarter mile, I will get down from the car, and transmit. I will transmit first with the Icom, then the Motorola. I will also note down if I can hear a reply back and how clear the reply was.
Result of the test:
Distance
1. Icom- was able to transmit and receive clearly up till 3 1/4 miles. It then started to become choppy from that point.
2. Motorola - was able to transmit and receive clearly till 2 3/4 miles. It then started to become choppy from that point.
Clarity
1. Icom - There were times I had to ask my wife to repeat herself because it sounded a little muffled.
2. Motorola - Just like listening to an FM radio. Loud and crystal clear.
Conclusion
Although the extra power of the Icom gave it a slight advantage in range, about 20%, you can buy 8 pairs of these Motorolas for the price of the Icom. Let the result speak for itself.
Note: This test was meant to show that the Professional Radios only have a slight advantage over the Motorola. The distances were that far because I have a base station with a 10 foot mast and an external J-pole GMRS tuned antenna. Hand held to hand held still follows the laws of physics so it is the same as I mentioned at the beginning of the review, .5 to 1 mile in the city. Completely different story if you are on an elevated position. Distance in miles = Square root of the Height(in feet) x 1.4.
*****UPDATE FEB. 04,2010******
I would like to now discuss the Cost savings of this MR350 over Professional Radios.
My Motorola MR350 is still going strong. I have since bought more Professional Icoms and have had to go through the hassle of tweaking them and programming them manually to get them to function the way this Motorola does when you first take it out of the packaging. I had to buy these Icoms because I am a member of a GMRS Radio Group here in Orange County and Los Angeles and I need the repeater functionality and external antenna.
If you buy a professional radio, you will have to pay to have it programmed. It can cost from between $20 to $80 each time you need to have something programmed. I bought the software and equipment to program my Icoms and they were very expensive. Again, this is something you will never have to do with the MR350.
Batteries on my Icoms cost about $60. That is even more than the cost of this MOTOROLA!!! Not to mention that I had to buy an external battery pack for my Icoms costing $45 so that I can use Energizer AA batteries. The Motorola can use the included rechargeable battery, or you can use Energizer.
I have my Motorolas fully charged all the time so if ever the big earthquake hits LA, this will be my primary survival gear together with my Swiss Army Knife.
Conclusion:
In a cost perspective, the Motorola MR350 wins hands down. You will easily spend about $650-700(hardware and software) to equip a pair(2) of Professional Radios to have some(not all) of the features of this Motorola MR350. At the end of the day, cost will always be a factor when we purchase anything.
Hope to talk to you on the air.
******UPDATE APRIL 19,2010*******
I just bought another set of Motorola MR350 radios. I leave a pair in my car for emergencies where I cannot use my car mounted Mobile UHF radio. I still think these are the best deal on any UHF radio.
******UPDATE OCTOBER 26,2010*******
I just wanted to update all of you since it has been 1 year since my original post. The 4 Radios and the batteries are still working great. That being said, one of the nice people to comment, mentioned that one or both of his new units were defective. Unfortunately, that is not unique with Consumer radios. Once you receive your radio, whatever you buy, please test it right away. If you find that something is not right, tell Amazon that the unit is defective, then exchange it for a new set. That is the nice thing about Amazon. And if you have more issues, drop me a comment, and I can point you to other radios that you may like. I collect radios and I have tried most of them already so I can save you the trouble of deciding.
Also, he mentioned that there is a site that you can get a free replacement faceplate for the MR355 which has the Repeater capability and all of the features of the MR350. The catch is the original faceplate of the MR355 is camo. The free replacement faceplate will make the MR355 look much more discreet. Look into that radio as well. From what I hear, they are almost the same price. Oh, and I also have that MR355 radio, but never take it out because I have not replaced the faceplate yet. I will eventually.

Hand Strap - strap
I bought this a few months ago and loved it from the beggining, I think it is a must have item. I have a Rebel XT and worked flawlesly. I do agree with the previous reviewer that some instructions would be appreciated but I figured it out in the end and was very happy. It is a well made item made of leather that doesn't feel cheap at all. Janco Leather Camera Hand Strap For the Canon EOS 7D, 5D Mark II, 500D, 450D, 400D, 50D, 40D, 30D,20D, 10D, 300D, 350D, 1DS MARK III Digital SLR Cameras
bought this thing like id say a month ago, just received it about 2 days ago.... due to them sending me the wrong strap first, than re sending. I received the strap, it comes in a plastic baggy. No directions or anything, just a cardboard advertisement for the company. Luckily i used my skill in lego building to look at a picture of the camera strap and set it up on my camera. The strap doesnt feel as secure as id like it to, and its a pain to tighten and loosen and what not. But id say a decent strap for 10 bucks, id be more thrilled if i received this thing on time. Wont buy from these guys again.
Instruction paper would have been great, like everybody said. Thankfully, knowing that I'm horrible at making things work, I hovered my camera over my bed while holding onto the strap. It fell & after a couple attempts I got it perfect. Good stuff.
as per the other reviewers. the product is great but does need instructions as it was a bit confusing to assemble. now that it is on, my neck does not hurt so much from the weight of the camera/lenses
Some directions would be nice,website has pictures with no written words.Trying to get the straps through the right way was very hard.I'm still not sure if I have it on right,seems to be marginal at best. - Strap'

Monster Cable - power strip, audio video
I've used Monster surge protectors in the past and had no reason to complain but when put to the test, this one totally failed me. This is your basic surge protector strip, with right angle plug and color-coded plugs for various audio-visual components. But does it give them sufficient protection? Unfortunately it did not for me. I was using it for my Tivo-TV combination and a bad storm one day fried the hard drive in my Tivo. So dock a few stars for it failing to properly protect my device. So now I get to experience this Monster warranty process. Suffice to say, you will be lucky if you get anything out of them, or can fulfill the requirements and 3 pages of information they want you to send them. In my case, I have a Tivo DVD that no one within several hundred miles of me is "authorized" to repair as they require, and they require an inspection of the damaged equipment by such a technician prior to filing a claim. I have to order a replacement part on the internet, which they don't accept and they won't reimburse after the fact. You also have to pay to send the surge protector back to them for inspection as well, so basically you have to spend a significant amount of money to file a claim and may get absolutely nothing out of it. So basically, the warranty in a lot of cases is of little use and not worth the trouble they put you through versus just paying for repairs yourself. So you can dock another star or two for that. So while I like the design of this surge protector, I probably will go looking for another one that will properly protect my equipment at least. Monster Cable MP AV600 Power Protector
On July 7 2007 I received from Amazon the Monster Cable MP AV600 Power Protector and the Belkin SurgeMaster Superior Series 8-Outlet Surge Protector (6', 1770 Joules). They both sold for about the same price. The Monster is vastly inferior. The Belkin has three times the Joules rating. The Belkin is much more attractive and well designed. The Monster is just a squarish standard strip that felt very cheap compared to the Belkin and worst of all the Monster had a bad rubber stink and the cord felt gritty. The Belkin had a smooth white power cord. My other mistake was to get the Belkin with the 6 foot cord , I realized a 12 foot cord was available after ordering. You will be MUCH happier with the Belkin. I will post this exact review with the Belkin as well. Last time I gave something 1 star Amazon did not display it. Maybe the higher end Monster models are nicer.
This item failed after one month of use.
There seem to be two breakers in this item:
The first one is tied to the "reset" button. This circuit is closest to the shared socket side.
The second one is tied to the "on/off switch". This circuit is closest to the wall side.
The on/off switch is still lit up.
However, none of the devices are getting power. The Reset button is useless and does not work.
This item will be returned.
During a recent blizzard (Michigan) a large electrical problem blew out 4 substations and a large number of transformers resulting a wide spread 12 hour+ power outage. The resultant surge toasted out my dishwasher and track lights. However, the Monster AV600 saved my expensive home theater setup, although the AV600 got toasted also. IT DID IT'S JOB and I give it the highest recommendation possible. Great product at a low price. Thanks Monster!!
Liked the color-coding on this power protector which made it easy to unplug exactly what i wanted without guessing which outlet it was connected to. Died after a year of use, all of a sudden burned out with an awful smell. There was no power fluctuation, we were just watching tv and all of a sudden everything turned off.
I really liked the design of this product - from the color coded outlets to the unit's plug which was elegantly turned at an angle. But 14 months after I purchased it it stopped working. The light on the unit comes on, but it just stopped putting out power. I would definitely not recommend.
Well, I should have looked at the reviews closer. Lasted maybe 3 months. Maybe. I am disgusted with this product and this company. Never again, please save your money and do not purchase Monster Power anything.
I had this about a year and mysteriously nothing plugged into it worked. Thought I had blown a breaker. Finally figured out this thing just suddenly stopped working... no reset.. no on/off.. just stopped working. Seems to be a lot of this happening with this strip. Now I have to spend more money on a good one.
I usually do not write reviews but this product is so bad I felt I had too. I bought 2; one failed within 3 months and the other in 4. You should spend a bit more and buy a better product that lasts. Thanks!
I recently purchased an LCD TV, and I wanted a decent surge protector for it. I discovered this one from Monster and it seemed like a reasonably affordable quality surge protector, so I purchased it.
The unit feels like it is of good quality, from the outlets to the body to the power cable. I have used other cheaper surge protectors, and this one feels more sturdy and durable. The right-angle plug is nice, since the cord doesn't stick straight out, allowing me to put the TV stand closer to the wall. Some labels were included with the surge protector, but I am not using them.
If you are looking for a simple quality surge protector that is not too expensive, I would recommend this. I normally consider Monster brand products to be somewhat overpriced, but this was a fairly good value for the price. - Monster Cable - Power Strip - Audio Video - Monster'

Cable Management - cable wrap, cable ties
I bought these ties to organize laptop cables, and they are wonderful! The ties wrap around and stay attached to the cable and are good length (~7.5") so they can handle fairly large cable bundles without being too long and bulky for smaller bundles.
The velcro "hooks" are only at the end tip, so you can't really trim the ties down if that is what you wanted to do (not a concern for me, but maybe for some).
Anyway, they are good ties and very useful. I can't imagine anyone that doesn't have a few cables somewhere that could use fastening. On Stage CTA6600 Velcro Cable Ties - 5 Pack, Black
I bought these cables ties so that I could more neatly store and organize my instrument cables, mic cables, speaker cables, and midi cables. So far they have worked great! You can slide it on your cable, where it stays permanently, and then whenever you wrap up your cable you can velcro them with these little ties!
I purchased 10 packs of these ties for my dj lighting truss and rig to keep all my cables well organized and hidden. I looked around and found these and gave them a shot. Although they are not the strongest ties in the world and do tear if you pull on them to hard for the price they are pretty good. What was once a horrific mess of cables is now a well organized and neat rig.
I use these for all kinds of things! I use them to control the cables for my multi-media equipment. I use thes for the many different cables at work so we can roll them up and stow easier. My mother-in-law used one for her fold up cane so she can keep it in her pocket with out the hassle of that damn plastic bag. The grand kids like to play with these also. They do have some less expensive ones here that will work also. These are a little heavier duty. I will buy again.
These are poorly made. Yeah, they'll work if you have just the right size bundle, but it is the lowest grade of velcro on the market, and the male hook patch is about the size of a pinky nail, so don't expect it to hold wires that are being pulled or moved around. I'm generally a "leave only good reviews" type of Amazonian... but these are worthless enough for me to warn serious wire heads.
Yup. This really helps clean up all the mic and guitar cables. There may be more fancy ways to get the same job done, but for the relative ease, and the price, my cables stay in a lot better shape, ready for when I need them next.
These are a good deal for the price. Lots of others Velcro straps for musicians seem way overpriced. These aren't for heavy duty use though, like big and heavy extension cords. But they work great for typical musician's cords--highly recommended for that.
These cable ties are constructed in China and are another example of Chinese production that cuts corners resulting in an inferior product.
Cable ties normally have enough Velcro on both sides of the tie to result in a secure fit. These cable ties have a tiny strip of Velcro on the backside of the item. I have had to sew extra Velcro on the back side of the tie in order to have the product work to wrap around a shop extension cord (and result in a secure stable wrap that doesn't unravel with stress from movement). This means that I spending additional time sewing Velcro on this item in order to make it work. I also had to buy extra Velcro from CVS (adding to the cost $2.99 +/- tax).
Save your time and money, buy cable ties from a physical store to ensure that you receive a quality product.
Would not recommend this item under any circumstances (ever), particularly if you are attaching work shop cables or other items that require a secure fit to ensure safety around the shop (i.e. to prevent personnel from tripping over cables) or to transport wrapped extension cables up a ladder - risking that Velcro on the ties unravels due to its foreshortened length, et. al.). - Cable Wrap - Cable Organizers - Cable Ties - Cable Management'

Point And Shoot Cameras - fuji digital camera, photography
After listing this item i1437TC for sale, then reading mixed reviews for the i1437RC RED camera, we decided a performance test was needed. We tested a Polaroid i1437TC (Titanium) SN M1XXXXXXXXXXXX159 model, camera only. For this test we used AA Rechargeable NickelMetalHydride (NiMH) batteries and new AA Alkaline batteries. The i1437TC has a feature to adjust battery types. The rechargeable NiMH batteries were charged up however only lasted 24 hours during our camera test on a setting for Alkaline battery and only 8 hours on a setting for NiMH battery. The battery winner: On the plus side the new Alkaline batteries kept running through 72 hours testing and continue to be reliable. We set the adjust battery type to Alkaline and recommend this to be the standard setting. Win for battery use.
We then tested the 14MP resolution and quality features. The resolution can be set from 14MP, (12MP) High Resolution Prints, 8MP, 3MP, HDTV setting, and VGA (email). The quality can be set to Normal, Fine, and Superfine. All resolution and quality settings worked. Keep in mind that high resolution and quality use more memory for storage. The i1437TC has 64mb internal memory with SD card for added storage (SD card sold separately). We installed an 8 GB SD card for the test. With the 14MP setting only 72 images were able to be saved. By comparison, with the VGA setting we shot 289 images and could have shot up to 684 images. Acceptable for image storage use.
There is a feature for anti-shake image stabilization. This works fine. Win for anti-shake image stabilization.
There is a 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. This worked as indicated for a passable zoom feature, though this is less than the new standard.
We reviewed and tested the scene settings which met our expectations.
We then tested the video feature. The video retention was limited from storage use and the audio was also acceptable when considering quick movies for the internet.
Overall we give the i1437TC 4 stars for highest quality and resolution for a point and shoot, variable image allocation compared to similar cameras, reliable AA battery use, Anti-shake image stabilization, passing zoom, normal scene settings and internet quality video/audio. Polaroid CIA-1437RC 14MP CCD Digital Camera with 2.7-Inch LCD Display (Red)
The Polaroid i1437 camera is good for basic users who just need an easy point-and-shoot camera that takes decent pictures. Here are the pros and cons:
Pro - The camera is simple to use. It has a rather large 2.7 inch LCD display that's bright and clear. The menus are easy to navigate. The face-detection and smile-detection features work well. The 14 megapixel sensor takes good (not great) pictures with good color. The camera is small, light and easy to carry and hold. Many different scene settings. It's easy to hook the camera to the computer to import photos and it works with my iMac and my PC. You don't have to remove the batteries to swap out the SD card. Can manually set shutter speed and/or aperture. The camera is light, but feels fairly solid and well-built.
Con - Takes a long time to focus and the focusing often fails in lower light situations. The camera eats batteries (I get about 50-75 shots per set of AA batteries. I started using rechargeables and it's a bit better with them). The "image stabilization" merely ups the ISO to compensate for low light, resulting in noisy pictures. 3X optical zoom is a bit skimpy.
Overall, it's a good basic camera for taking pictures in good light situations. It doesn't perform too well in less than perfect lighting and the focus is slow and sometimes inaccurate, but for the price, it's a nice little camera with some nice features and some drawbacks.
If you are looking for an inexpensive digital camera, look elsewhere. You will go broke buying batteries for this power munching camera. The included AA batteries barely lasted long enough to take 4-5 pictures after exploring all of the features. I thought that maybe the supplied batteries were weak, but even with a pair of fresh batteries, the camera only worked long enough to snap about 10-12 photos. Rechargable batteries did not help. The camera takes fine picutures, but with such poor battery life this camera is not worth the trouble.
Other than a rear not as sparkly as I'd like and too button-sparse (easier access to features) there is hardly a thing wrong with this camera. I think many are expecting way too much out of $60. It beats my Canon 7.1mp which was $700 just three years ago.
Superb in the total darkness.
Outstanding in its Auto Intelligent mode. I have an elderly total non techno type loving it and she has seen not one word of its digital manual.
Its not eating batteries. Its light as a feather. Auto Focus has not failed us. Direct USB printing produces the best quality prints your printer can muster.
If it had Still/Movie Macro Flash Ctrl right on three buttons and a clip out viewer, I'd give it Five stars.
PS
Macro is a button but it doesn't function unless you come out of Auto Intelligent Scene, first.

Contractor - portable table saw, table saw
I ordered this saw to meet an immediate remodeling job requirement. I was astounded that Amazon got it to me in two days where others were quoting more than a week. The saw assembled easily and the initial setup was straight forward and alignments correct. It definitely meets the "portable" standard and the rolling stand is among the best I've seen. Overall, I've given it five stars for its combination of quality, portability and competitive price among saws with comparable features. DEWALT DW744XRS 10-inch Job Site Table Saw with Rolling Stand
This is the second time I bought this saw. I am a contractor and just plain wore the first one out. Had a lot of problems in the end keeping the fence aligned. But still the best portable saw out there for my purposes. What I would say about the rolling stand is that it ads a LOT of weight to the saw. I bought the side and rear table extensions (DW7441). Problem is, with the rolling stand, when you fold it up and stand it on end to roll it, the side extension slides out and hits the floor! (very frustrating) Called Dewalt tech support to report obvious design oversight, (am sure they immediately called a meeting with R and D) and to hear the obligatory appology for the trouble I was having with no remedy (or understanding) of the problem. Overall a decent saw as far as portable saws go.
I have several DeWalt tools because of their quality. This was my latest addition because of the rack and pinion fence, mobile base and available outfeeds (DW7441) making it a great job site tool.
I do however concur with one previous rater, you MUST check the accuracy of the gauge. Though it says it's calibrated at the factory, mine was off. Minor and easily adjusted.
It's not a light saw, but the mobile base rolls great once you have the saw mounted to the base.
Highly recommend it!
Before I purchased this saw I was looking at the Bosch and Rigid saws that came with stands. When I saw this one the choice was clear for me. For the same rip capacity this saw takes up a lot less space in my van and I prefer the rack and pinion fence. I received the saw and was not disappointed. Setup was straightforward and easy. The starter blade was acceptable. My fence was accurate but I still checked it. Not much to say but the saw is solid and jobsite conditions ready. You would have a hard time matching this combo of saw and stand. I was also impressed by Amazon getting it to my door quicker than local distributor could get it. I've had my saw 6 months and I still haven't seen this combo in town.
I bought this saw for a recent job and it performed excellently. The saw has a great fence that works flawlessly and was easy to adjust. People seem to complain that it is out of alignment but it only takes 15 seconds to adjust which was no big problem. The saw has great power for ripping 2x's and plastic trim. Used it with a delta dado set and was a little underpowered but it was what I expected. The depth of adjustment works very nice so does the bevel adjustments. The riving knife is really nicely designed so that it can be adjusted very easily. The guard looks nice and seems sturdy but I don't use it. In a nutshell it is very comparable to a contractors saw but smaller.
The stand is also very nice. Large tires, nice handle and it serves its purpose. It is really easily to put together and folds up very nicely.
Coming from a framer it is a very nice saw that comes in handy more than you would think. Highly recommended and add a freud 24 tooth thin rip blade and it is amazing. Leave Nu questions in the comment box and ill get back to very quickly
I have owned four DeWalt Table Saws.I use one for about 4-5 years and sell it,purchase a new one.I owned a Mikita as my first table saw.I tried a DeWalt and went for it because it is a bettter saw and easier to use with the rack and pinion.A DeWalt weighs less then the other mentioned saw and this makes a difference when you go jobing and have to carry the saw up five flights of stairs and down every day,or in and out of a work site.I also have a 12 in DeWalt Slide Saw,double bevel.My fourth.I have never had a DeWalt Product let me down on a JOB.
I like the quality of Dewalt tools and when I needed a new Table saw for some home improvement projects I have been holding off on I decided to purchase this item. I had a very similar table saw I purchased a few years ago by a major brand but the alignment fence was junk. It would pop off at the slightest pressure and even using clamps to attempt to hold it in place failed.
I now have new things I want to do around the house so I ordered this table saw since Dewalt makes great products and especially because of the rack and pinion fence. Everything about this saw is well built and vary accurate. I tested after my first few cuts after reading previous reviews but mine was dead on.
As a bonus it was nice that the saw is more quiet than I expected. I am satisfied with it enough that I am looking for more projects to do just so I can use this saw.
I bought this saw to replace a Delta Contractors saw and am really happy with it. The saw does need minor adjustment after it is out of the box, but it works solidly once setup. The rolling stand that converts to use as a work stand is well designed and as good as the De Walt mitre saw stand I also have. Well designed system and easy to use.
As a contractor I have 2 of these saws that get plenty of use and abuse. They are used outdoors a lot and sometimes get rained on and don't skip a beat(we don't oporate them in the rain). The stand and rip fence are worth the extra costs over other brands. In this price range I haven't seen another brand with a comparable fence. The only other contractor saw that comes close overall is the Bosch 4100.
You do have to keep in mind that these aren't made for fine cabinetry work, they are for job site work, ripping the last strip of flooring, ripping filler panels for kitchen cabinets(hidden cut face), extention jambs, etc... They do a very good job of it. They also oporate much smoother than the cheap brands which makes a big difference when cutting tapers free hand. Of course with a little thought you can use these for fine work on small parts, ditch the mitre gauge and build a sled, a couple of dollars in material and a little bit of time will net you the ability to make cuts that rival what the best full size saws can muster. Slop in the mitre gauge isn't what stops me from using it anyway, it's the small size at 6" or so they don't support work very well and are too far from the blade for short pieces.
Over all this saw is the best when it comes to yanking it out of the truck and making a quality cut within seconds of plugging it in. Before getting these I usually found myself using the circular saw if I only had one rip to make, because the other brands I had were too tedious to set up. The other style of fence is so bad I still haven't lost the urge to measure front to back on the fence everytime I adjust it. But so far the DeWalt stays true time after time. - Table Saw - Portable Table Saw - Portable - Contractor'

Ipad 2 Silicone Case - ipad2 case, ipad 2 accessories
iPad2 plus this Fosman TPU (which is smoke plastic, you can still see the Apple logo on the back of the iPad) and I can still use the magnets of my Smartcover. They are weaker, for sure, but still I can pull it alongside this cover, and click, it mates right up, and I can shut the Smartcover (SC). The SC does not stay on as tightly as directly on the iPad, but it's not bad. The SC is straight on and everything. I thought I'd have to cut the Fosman, but I don't have to at all: the magnet of the Smartcover works right through the Fosman! And closing the SC still turns off the iPad and everything (thus the Fosman does not block the auto on/off magnetic mechanism, either.
If you use the SC as an easel, like on the SC video, to hold the iPad up, it tends to unclick--the magnets are not quite strong enough to hold the iPad up as easel (and especially in landscape upright support, which I don't suggest anyway because even without a cover and using it as Apple suggests, it won't fall backwards, but it can fall directly and flatly onto the iPAd glass face).
This Fosman fits very well, very tight, no play, and protects all edges. I adisagree that the holes are not right (last reviewer)... the holes on mine are ideal for the iPad2.
I agree with other reviewers, the other accessories are junk. Stylus? Neck cable? Who cares.
I'd pay the less than twenty bucks for this with shipping again. Apple iPad2 2nd Gen Case - Fosmon TPU Skin Case for Apple iPad 2 2nd Generation + Fosmon High Quality Metal Stylus + Neckstrap
I was desperate to get some type of case to cover my new Ipad 2 when I got it. Unfortunately, there were very few covers out; the ones that were were charging too high a premium for what I thought was inelegant design.
I found this on Amazon. I was skeptical at first, but for the price, I was willing to take a chance. It's actually a pretty darn good slim cover for the Ipad. It does have a little heft, but I think it'll do a great job protecting the device from scratches and possibly even slight drops.
Downsides: Does not protect the screen. That little writing pen that they provide I found next to useless (Tried using it with Goodreader app).
Other than that, its great value and if you're looking for something with no frills, this would work quite well.
I guess there isn't a lot of iPad 2 3G users out there, which they wonder why there is a cutout on these cases that they do not find it useful when fitting with their iPad2 Wifi only.
The cutout on the other side of the volume control, is for the Sim Card slot. I am not sure about Verizon's version, but AT&T gives you a sim card so that you can access 3G data. We have these for our sales team and they often need to remove the card to place it in their laptop or vice versa. Some covers cover the cutout which makes it difficult to remove the sim if we ever need to use it.
Overall, great case and simple design. Not for the smart cover but it is not what it is advertise for.
If you're looking for a cover for the back of your iPad2 this will do the trick. Looks nice and fits well. It has an opening for the new back mounted iPad2 camera. It also has an extra square opening that doesn't apply to anything on the iPad2 (maybe that's for the previous version). Adding this protection comes at a price if you have other Apple accessories like the new Smart Cover or the Apple Dock for the iPad2. The magnets on the Smart Cover don't work with this on the back/sides so it doesn't stay on properly. The Apple Dock connector is so close to the plastic backing that just the few extra mil this skin adds is too much... you can't plug it in. Well, I really like that Smart Cover and want to use the dock so I'll be modifying the skin. I intend to use this skin on my iPad2 around the house to keep the back scratch free so if it works with the extra cut outs I need to add I'll be happy. I've got a heavier leather case on order for travel. This item shipped very quickly from Amazon.
Already prevented a few scratches on the perfect brushed aluminum back of my iPad 2. This skin does not work with the iPad 2 magnetic cover as shipped. I carefully cut a strip off the left-side to accomadate the forward and backward movement of the Apple cover. It worked great and I'm very happy.
VERY happy with this case! It fits perfectly and has cutouts for the back camera, side buttons, plugs and speaker. It's very durable and protects the back and sides of my iPad 2 well! Best bang for your buck as this is significantly cheaper than all other cases I've seen.
the case is great, fits good, feels good, nice quality, and even looks good on the white ipad.
but i guess since it was manufactured before the ipadv2 actually came out itbwas made with an extra cutout on one side. therefor theres a whole on the side for no reason. if you look on the picture of the product youll see that on the oposite side of the camera is an extra cutout. but its no big deal, i like the case! and great price. - Ipad 2 - Ipad 2 Accessories - Ipad2 Case - Ipad 2 Silicone Case'
