Ipod Nano Watch - nano, ipod

Visit Store Now !!

I have decided to review this product, since there are no other reviews worth reading, and since it is actually a fairly good buy. The choice can be difficult, because on average this product is more expensive than the other running docks for your ipod.



Firstly, let me say that I have only had mine for a day. I have the 6th Gen Nano. So, I cannot give any feedback at this stage regarding how this product will wear. I will try to remember to return in a month or two's time and post an update. Also, time from buy to receive was about a week, so I cant identify with the other comment about the lack of shipping.



- The product looks good, and is essentially exactly how it looks in the photo. The Nano fits pretty much perfectly. However, if you have a silicone cover on your nano it will NOT fit.

- It is easy to get the nano in and out, and because of the clip on the nano, when its in, it is secure, and therefore wont fall off the watch. This means its not the kind of "cover" where once its in, its in forever.

- The screen of the nano can be easily rotated to have the clock face, and the menu etc interface in the orientation you desire.

- The headphone jack of the nano points UP YOU ARM when the ipod is docked. I find this to be quite convenient as I use mine for running, and therefore want the cable pointing up my arm

- NB one: The docking platform between the two straps is PLASTIC (not metal). I believe this will have pro's and con's, given that plastic will wear better with the sweat, but may not last as long. Potential concern here. However, the plastic does appear sturdy, so will let you know how it goes.

- The size of the watch strap, and the holes make it possible to fit almost all size arms. I am a fairly big guy, and it fits me comfortably. However, if you have mammoth wrists, you may run into trouble.



Post comments, and I will try to answer them. All in all, a good product that is (imho) freaking cool.



UPDATE: March 10:



I have been using the product for about a month and a half. I used a small file to round the edges of the platic platform onto which the ipod attaches, as they were quite sharp and snagged on sweaters etc. My ipod fits snuggly into the platform, and doesn't move around. The plastic platform still looks good.



The silicone straps dont show any signs of wear yet, and I use my strap principally for running, so the straps receives a lot of sweat. Btw, if you use for running, get yourself a set of these babies: Sennheiser Adidas PMX 680 Sports Earbud Headphone with Volume control & Neckband. They are incredible, and dont move an inch when you run. iWatchz CLRCHR22WHT Q Collection Wrist Strap for iPod Nano 6G

I had always thought that a small mp3 player could always be worn best on the wrist. Clipping it to a band or cuffing it to your bicep wasn't always the most comfortable, secure fit. Obviously, the market wasn't out there for this idea until the 6G Ipod Nano came along. Before, the small size pretty much limited the total song capacity to about two, and there was no option to securely fasten the player to the wrist anyway- they were still too bulky.



This Nano, with its optional clock display-was made for this wristband (and vice versa). I got this watchband as a gift for my wife after getting her the Ipod for Christmas. The fit is tight and secure. The instructions are nonexistent- if you need to adjust the bands to facilitate positioning the Ipod (to not only display correctly but to have the headphone jack positioned correctly as well, you will have to study the pieces and intuit what needs to be done. Not a problem for me- but I am smart:)



In the end, with a little extra effort on my part swapping the bands around- this turned into an appreciated gift. My wife wears the Ipod daily as a watch. All that is needed is to plug in the headphones and the Ipod reverts back to its original purpose- only secured to the wrist (the headphones are positioned to run up inside shirt sleeves, helping to keep the cords from flaying around wildly when working out).



So yes, this is a very good product. No instructions in this case won't merit a mark down because any adjustments are easy to figure out and don't require extra parts/tools to accomplish. Once adjusted (and this may not be necessary for you) this watchband is well-made and obviously manufactured to fit the Ipod securely and attractively. This product complements the Ipod so well I expect Apple will come out with something similar to it, soon.

The part that holds the nano is flimsy and poorly made.



Problem one: very rough edge that hangs out beyond the nano.



Problem two: the whole band depends on one very thin piece of plastic underneath the nano. The piece broke after about 2 months of daily use.



The bad was great and very comfortable, but the piece that holds the nano is terrible. - Ipod Nano - Nano - Ipod Watch - Ipod'

Inexpensive. Shipped and arrived quickly and in good condition. However I bought it to use with my Sony XR-550V as the camcorder does not ship with the VMC-UAM1 ($15 from Sony). For that use it did not work. Not sure if the device is defective or just not compatible with the Sony unit. USB 2.0 Type A to Mini USB 5-Pin Type B Female / Male Adapter

I bought two Adapters for my Sony CX-550V camcorder. Shipped and arrived quickly and in good condition. However it did not work. I checked sonystyle.com Sony VM-CUAM1 USB Adapter Cable is USB mini-B to the USB Type A, exactly same this adapter. If the device is defective or just not compatible with the Sony unit? I don't know other persons have some problem. Should I buy a Sony USB adapter cable for my CX-550V directly copy video data to HHD device? But this product can connect my Canon camera from mini USB to my computer.

In my quest to become more thrifty & less cluttered, I've begun using adapters rather than a whole new special cable for needed connections. An adapter is cheaper than getting a new cable & they take up a lot less space. If you have a cable with only one end that's required, try just getting an adapter to enable a connection, instead of a new cable.

There's really not much to say about this little device: it converts one type of USB to the other. It's cheap, it's sturdy, it gets the job done. I use this with a portable battery to keep my iPhone charged if I'm away from power for a while and it works perfectly and the price is such that you can afford to get a spare or two in case you lose or break one eventually.

Item seems to work, but not for the purpose I was planning. I was hoping to use this plus the iPod's charging cable to plug it into my fm transmitter. (My original transmitter cord was overstretched and is now flighty.) Nearly fried my iPod. Not the product's fault, but iPods are very particular. - Iphone - Sony'

Kindle Protection - kindle covers, kindle jacket

Visit Store Now !!

Amazon seems to take forever to ship this case compared to other cases.



This case is sturdy, it's made of some type of canvas material and has enough padding to protect the kindle. The inside is lined with some type of microfleece material so your screen wouldn't get scratched.



After having the kindle without a jacket, I've realized that i like reading it naked but after holding it up in this case, i could go either way. it's lightweight although you'll still notice a slight difference in weight when reading in this compared to holding the kindle by itself.



I like that it zips around to give complete protection from dust and other particulates that could slip in.



I folded the cover round the back easily and was able to zip it. however, you have to keep adjusting the zipper once you convert it back to the normal way. I still like that you can fold around and zip it because it allows me to hold the kindle with one hand and read.



The power cord and AC adaptor fit into the pouch in front without any issues and i was able to zip it without any problems. it does bulge but it bulges a little outward and none towards the inside where the kindle is at. I didn't like reading with the cord and AC adaptor in because i feel it adds a little amount of weight (it might not be noticeable to you). I think it's definately good for transporting those cords.



There's some type of pocket at the back where the m-edge illuminator light can fit. it has another slot underneath that. maybe you can slip a business card or a note card there or perhaps a car key.



Zipping is a tad tight around the corners but it's not a pain.



The only thing i have some issues with is that the fastener at the top left corner feels loose but then i've given my kindle the shaking test where i held it over my bed and shook it up and down once and it slid out of the top left corner. That fastener right there feels loose so i think i'll have to exchange it.



I got this because while i love to read my kindle naked, but there are times and places where i want to read it in a case and i don't want a cover that permanently attaches to the kindle. I wanted something versatile so i could go back and forth as i please. This case seems to fit the bill. If you need a strong and sturdy case for transporting your kindle, this is it. if you get one where you don't have a defective fastener at the top left corner, then you're in good shape. I believe one of the previous two reviewers had the same issue with his case. It may be a manufacturing defect, i don't know. Don't let that deter you from buying this. I'll update when amazon sends the replacement. Hopefully,the left corner for that one fits well.



Did i say the navy is a lovely blue color?!

Peace. M-Edge Latitude Kindle Jacket, Red (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle)

After not being able to get this product shipped to Aussie with Amazon , I purchased this jacket from the people at M-Edge where service was brilliant.



The cover feels so nice, not bulky at all.

I love the idea of being able to zip it up and put it in my handbag without getting it scratched.

The zips are excellent quality and move very freely.



It holds my K3 very securely, is made of excellent quality materials and is an overall superb product.

I have given it 5 stars as i just cannot find a negative about it.

I had this for my Nook and now I have it for my 2 Kindle's (3rd generation). The first one i got was perfect. The 2nd one (for my 2nd Kindle) had a problem securing the Kindle in the top left corner. M-Edge's brilliant customer service replaced it immediately and the new one is great. I think they should use the same fasteners at the top as they use on the bottom, not sure why they don't as they feel more secure, but it's still the best Kindle case out there. I love it and would 100% recommend it.

As soon as I found this cover available for preorder on amazon, I ordered it. It arrived yesterday and I'm delighted with it. I have the M-Edge Latitude cover for my Kindle 2, and was disappointed not to find it available when I ordered my Kindle 3G Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G + Wi-Fi, 6" Display, Graphite, 3G Works Globally - Latest Generation.



I bought a nice plum colored carrying case instead, and didn't regret it. That case protected my Kindle from being dirtied (or worse) by spilled food at a cookout. But that kind of case has a serious drawback for me. Because I have to remove the Kindle from it in order to read, I have two things to keep track of: the Kindle and the case.



Part of the genius of this M-Edge Latitude Kindle jacket, is that it stays attached to the Kindle at all times. I just flip it open to use the Kindle, then flip the front cover back into place and zip it closed when I'm done. There's nothing separate to slide off my lap while I'm reading, or to be placed somewhere else while the Kindle's in use. And then located again when I'm done. (If I'm reading at home, chances are I'll finish a Kindle session in a different room from where I started it, meaning I have to go fetch the case from wherever I was when I took the Kindle out of it.)



The newest generation Kindle is the first one (I've also owned the K1 and the K2) that I don't mind reading when it's not fastened into a cover. It's small and light enough, and the back is grippable enough, that I don't fear it slipping out of my grasp. After spending a few weeks reading my new Kindle that way, I wasn't sure how I'd like going back to using it in a jacket. But this jacket is lightweight and snug-fitting, and doesn't get in the way. I'm adjusting to it just fine.



The other very important aspect of this Kindle jacket, is the all-around protection it provides when closed. I can slip my Kindle, in this jacket, into a purse or tote bag with no fear that some stray object might slip into the case through an open edge, and damage the Kindle.



The K2 version of the M-Edge Latitude was a perfect solution for carrying and using my Kindle 2. I'm equally pleased with the new M-Edge Latitude for my third-generation Kindle. - Kindle Accessory - M-edge - Kindle Covers - Kindle Jacket'

Replacement Battery - dell battery, replacement battery

Visit Store Now !!

Be sure to get the "RoHs" battery featured here. I purchased a 9 cell battery from another seller at about the same time as this 9 cell battery. This one holds a 3 hour 40 minute (plus time to spare) charge (I tested with media player playing the first half the time and a backup running the second half - no idle time) and the other barely gets past 2 hours. HUGE difference. Also the other battery gets warm - not this one. Nice! I highly recommend this product.



As for the seller, the shipping time was fast and the price is decent, esp for what you're getting (it's like two thirds cheaper than buying direct from Dell if I'm not mistaken).



One one of the best buys I've made over the past 12 months. Kudos! 9 cell Battery For Dell Inspiron 1525 1526 series replace RN873 GP952 M911 X284G series Ac Laptop Notebook Main Battery

The first gotcha was that this battery is quite a bit bigger that the one it replaced (RN 873) but it fit the slot fine. Just stick out and down a little.



Second gotcha was absolutely no directions which should be not problem but...Apparently Dell uses a Smart Power system which has thousands of complaints on the internet.



Anyway, I powered down, installed battery and powered up. Power options said 63%. OK so far. 12 hours later still 63%....Uh Oh.



Long story (about 7 hours of Internetting, calling, attempted BIOS flashes etc) developed many horror stories about LIon batteries and Dell power adapter. The dreaded "unknown device" syndrome.



Here's how Dell recommended a reset. First, power down and remove battery. Second, unplug AC Power adapter from computer AND wall. Third-Wait till green light goes out. In my case, went and got coffee and watch a show.



Fourth - plug adapter into wall and computer and power up WITHOUT the battery installed.

After boot up, insert the battery.



It worked?!!?!

I bought this battery to replace the worn-out battery on my 2-year-old Inspiron 1525, which is battery model M911G. The one I received didn't fit the computer and it didnt look like the battery pictured above. Return was easy through Amazon, but disappointed that the battery didn't fit. Possibly my mistake, as the product description says it fits M911 (but doesn't say M911G).

For those that are confused about the physical size of the replacement battery; this is an extended size battery. There is the standard size that is flush with your laptop when inserted, and there are the extended sizes that protrude out approximately one inch from the back of your laptop. You will find this same protrusion on any extended size battery you buy directly from Dell. It will stick out the back a little, and that is normal. The standard size is a six cell battery and will give you a shorter run time on a charge. This is a nine cell battery, and this is how they get more run time out of the battery... it's bigger ;)



Considering the same size battery from Dell costs $179; I would say paying $39 is a bargain (price I paid at time of purchase). It would still be a bargain even if it lasts only half as long.



You can save yourself some headaches though on having to replace your battery more often than necessary:



- If you generally have your laptop plugged in and the battery is sitting there fully charged all the time, unplug it and let the battery run down a bit (about 40%) and then remove it. Your laptop will function just fine without the battery. When you need to use the battery, put it back in, let it charge up a bit, and use it.



I can't give this product a five star rating as I haven't had it for an extended period of time. I received it, plugged it in, discharged it, charged it up to full and it shows about 6.5 hours of run time with the backlight on the LCD at dim. Ran it down to 40% and put it away for storage. I'll come back and edit this review a few months down the road.



[EDIT - Addition - Jan 31, 2011]



Well, a few months down the road has passed by. First, a little background info so you can relate my usage to what I am saying. I am a full time tech college student, I drive a small fifteen minutes both ways to campus, and I attend class four days out of the week. I have the computer on pretty much the whole time as that is where I store my notes, take my notes, and do some of my homework. I use the the battery fairly frequently. With all that use my battery still reads 6.5 hours. Not sure if it is reading right or not, but it does hold a charge through all my classes down to about the 15-20% mark at worst (depending on usage). I do keep the battery on power saver settings while in school; display dimness turned all the way down, display turns off in 3 minutes, goes to sleep in fifteen minutes, WiFi turned off unless I need to look something up. I do occasionally turn the display brightness up, but turn it back down after. Do realize that the more you are demanding out of your laptop, it will shorten how long your battery will be running, I am pretty much using it for Office 2007. I remove the battery on the weekends as I can run it off the power cord at home.



I have been pretty satisfied with the battery, so much that when my wife's laptop had her battery kick the bucket I went and ordered one for her also (she has the same brand/model laptop as I do). I would buy this battery again and am changing my rating for it to a five star. - Laptop Batteries - Laptop Battery - Dell Battery - Replacement Battery'

Nursing Undershirt

Visit Store Now !!

Bought these when I had my first baby. I can't say much more than this is all I wear. I have 3 and I rotate them. I need 6 more to be honest. When I'm home, I slip something over it if its too cold, and when time to feed I slip the over shirt/sweater/sweatshirt off, and feed. No walking around my house in winter wearing only my bra, no changing all the time. Best investment I made. I bought the bras that do the same thing and I prefer the tank instead. Gilligan & O'Malley® Womens Full Sling Long Nursing Tank - Black L

I got 3 of these after the birth of my baby. Pros: good room in chest area, I am at least a DD (36) & the large is comfortable, functional for nursing, length is great & there is room for a belly.

Cons: pretty low cut, only reason I won't give 5 stars.

Ordrering from amazon was the way to go. Sizes at Target stores & online were limited.

I'm so pleased with the fit of this tank; when I can afford to buy more, I will! The clasps are as easy to work as the ones on my Gillian O'Malley nursing bras, and the fit is nice and long over my belly.

I've had a lot of trouble finding the right nursing bra and tank. My cup size increased a lot after baby was born and I live over-seas, in a country of small chested Asians! This tank has been great to keep my tummy covered and allow me to nurse in more public places. My only complaint is that I still feel like I need more support. The length is awesome!

I really like these tanks- however, this was a bit different than the one I had purchased at the store (of the same brand).

Maybe I didn't read close enough but this one only has minor support on the inside- the one I got at the store had much more support in the bra portion.

Otherwise the tank is great- super easy to unhook and rehook with one hand.

Only other caveat- if you have lost some or most of your baby weight the tanks are super long and a bit baggy- great right after you have the baby but not as good 6 mos later!

Super comfortable and handle being washed often well!

Doesn't offer much support. I should have known better than to assume it would, but for any woman with larger breasts, you will need to wear a separate (read: better) bra underneath. Also, the tank itself is strangely baggy in the midsection, even though I am not a really thin woman. It almost seems like it would be better suited as a maternity tank, it is that baggy. The Medela nursing tanks are better, although they are much pricier. However, even with a bigger chest, I can get away with just the support from the Medela tank, NOT something I can do with this one.

Very comfortable and has a great built in bra. I'm still pregnant and it stretches over my belly just fine. After washing and drying it goes right back down to size so i will definitely be able to wear it while nursing after pregnancy.'

Panasonic Phone Battery - panasonic p-104, panasonic phone battery

There is not much to say about this battery pack. If your current Panasonic cordless phone has a PP104 (with a #29 displayed in a black box on the battery) NiMH battery pack then this is the unit you need. I received two of these batteries from Amazon.com in just two days. I had them installed in my cordless phones in just a couple of minutes. I left the phones on the charger overnight and my phones now work flawlessly. I am a little dissapointed that the batteries which came with the Panasonic phones only lasted about a year, but so far these new battery packs have brought new life back to my phones. The cost is fair and the quality seems just as good if not better than the original factory batteries. I know there are after market batteries that are compatible with my phones, and could be used in place of these PP104A units, but I believe in sticking with original equipment. For $14 each you really can't complain too much about the price. Panasonic Ni-MH Type 29 Battery (HHR-P104A/1B)

Ordered these batteries for my Panasonic 5.8Ghz phones and found they are worse than the original ones they are replacing. Old batteries lasting 5-7 days before charging with nomal daily usage, these ones last barely 3 before I need to re-charge them. Contacted reseller (As Good As New Electronics) and received extremely poor customer service. Got accused of using 'old and worn' phones - right... Was not even given the option to try another battery. They maybe selling cheaper priced batteries than your local stores, but their poor and prejudicial customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Find another reseller on Amazon. If you can't, pray you get a good battery and hope you don't have to deal with their non-customer service department. One star because I can't give them zero stars in order to post this review. - Panasonic P-104 - Pansonichhr-p-1 - Panasonic Phone Battery - Panasonic'

Super Mario - hat, red

My 6 year old is a huge Super Mario fan and he loves wearing this cap and acting like Mario. I made a felt 'M' emblem for the front, got white gloves and fake moustaches and he just loves it! The cap is superbly made with a very comfortable fit. The inside is lined with a silky material and is very soft, yet extremely durable. The bright red also is highly visible. I love this cap! Cotton Elastic Newsboy Cap-Red 2

I'm a 24 year old female and wanted to be Mario for Halloween. This hat fit perfect and looked great. It is also high quality and well worth the price. I'll be incorporating it into my normal attire as a statement piece. Great all around!

Used this hat as the base for my Mario costume.

I simply bought some cheap felt squares at the craft store and cut out the M logo and used some craft glue to glue it onto the front of the hat.

Everyone loved the way it came out and it was much cheaper than buying the cheap looking premade Mario hat.

The hat seemed to be of good quality and fit well, it has an elastic band to fit multiple head sizes.

Overall its a great hat.

I purchased the red and the green newsboy caps last year for Halloween. I felt that for 6.99 it was going to be a felt hat of poor quality, but I wasn't concerned as it was only for one night. Imagine my surprise when these hats are lined, great construction, and have lasted my boys the entire year. Lots of colors to choose from, these are also great vintage looking hats.

Had wonderful service when I ordered 15 red newsboy hats. Our church choir wore them on Pentecost Sunday and also to show support for two members who had just completed chemotherapy. Got the hats right away as I didn't have much time to pull this together. Very impressed with the company that sold them. Later ordered 5 more of the same thing.

EllenCotton Elastic Newsboy Cap-Red 2

I actually purchased this hat for part of a child's costume. We got the red hat for Mario and the green hat for Luigi. The hats were shipped and received extremely quickly. The hat is of a very nice quality, especially for the reasonable price. We are still a few weeks away from Halloween and we can't wait to put the whole costume together and go out in public. The hats are definitely the best part of the outfit. - Cap - Hat - Red - Caps'
