Sony PRS-505/ LC Blue Digital Book Reader
My solution for reading on the road
As a very frequent traveler, I was in the past carrying a ton-load of documents to read. Documents going from corporate reports, articles from business magazines, product reviews ... Ect, ect. And also one or two books ... It was always a serious hassle.
After having this eReader, I transfer PDF files easily to the Sony PRS-505 and have all documents on one (small) device. If tired of readi

Macally TRIHUB7 Mini 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub with AC Adapter (Black)
Excellent
I highly recommend this product. I can't stand the bright blue lights and big show you see with other usb hubs. This product is compact, discrete, elegant, and the usb ports are easily accessible--exactly what I was looking for in a usb hub.
I was reluctant to buy this product because it didn't have any reviews, but I'm definitely happy I made the purchase and highly recommend it to

Sabrent ECS-U35K Ultra Slim USB 2.0 3.5-inch IDE/ PATA Hard Drive Enclosure (Bla
Good replacement case for the money
I bought this to replace a case I had with a bad connector. Installation was quick and very easy. It even came with a screwdriver to make the installation even easier. The only thing I wish was a little different would be to have the LED's on the front of the case instead of the back where the cables come out. But overall, for the money, an excellent replacement.

Sabrent SBT-EKU25 Ultra Slim USB 2.0 2.5-inch IDE/ PATA Hard Drive Enclosure (Bl
Worth more than the purchase price.
I had a 2001 Dell laptop that died back in July 2007. I was really upset because thought I lost five years worth of manuscripts, cover art, and over 300 mp3s when the motherboard wouldn't turn on.
Thankfully, the 10 GB hard drive still worked. While I kept the Hard drive and junked the laptop I searched for over a year (on public computers) for a way to get back my old information an

Dell Axim X30 - Windows Mobile 2003 SE 312 MHz - RAM: 32 MB - ROM: 32 MB 3.5" TF
Difficulty making Axim work with Vista
I have owned several Axims previously and thought that I would again be pleased with this PDA. The Axim X30 contains all the features I was anticipating and it appears that Dell had improved the unit from it predecessors. The trouble came in trying to get the unit to sync with my PC which is running Windows Vista Home Premium. First, the installation disc does not contain the software that allo

Sharp Electronics PW-E550 Electronic Dictionary
I LOVE IT!!!
I looked at MANY electronic dictionaries before selecting the Sharp PW-E550, and I couldn't be happier. I am a college-educated professional person with, I believe, an above average vocabulary; however I do occasionally come across words with which I am not familiar. Also, as I age, I seem to be "losing" the meanings of some words I don't use frequently. I've had the dictionary about a month no

HP iPAQ hx2495b Pocket PC (FA674B#ABA)
Big disappointment
I went to fund raiser for a Non profit organization that we like to support. Saw this at their silent auction, bought it. It was new in the box thought it would be good for helping me organize. Right from the start it would not drop the align screen page. Called HP, they suggested a clean reset, didn't work. Now I have to send it in for a $49.00 service fee, what a joke. Take my advice look elsewh

Palm TX Handheld with Hard Case
Disappointed
I've had a Palm Zire 71 for several years and when it died recently I ordered a Palm TX.
The TX arrived 2 weeks ago. It looked like a nice little machine but I couldn't get it to HotSync with my desktop. It turned out the HotSync problem was because my Windows Operating System is an XP Pro Media Edition and the software that came with the TX was incompatible.

Bluetooth USB Adapter
Works well, great price.
I bought this to use with my Blackberry, so I wouldn't have to plug in the USB cable to sync my contacts and calendar. It serves that purpose perfectly. I plugged it into the back of my computer six months ago, and haven't had to touch it since.
I haven't used it for anything else, not even dial-up networking over Bluetooth, so I can't speak to it's suitability for that.

CASIO DBC310-1 DataBank Men's Watch
Casio provides a 2nd brain in a tiny watch
I can't do without my Casio anymore and have bought a back up just in case my present one is damaged, gets lost, or goes kaputt. It now contains all the vital info I need and which folks carry in their (relatively) bulky cell phones or Blackberries. Several times daily it reminds me of chores to do. Several times weekly I'm prompted to access some stored info. Indeed, I've gotten so dependent on

Coolmax CN-350 RJ-45/ USB2.0 3.5-Inch Networking Hard Drive Enclosure
Good Value NAS for IDE Drive
Once firmware was updated the drive worked with Vista PC. I access this drive using XP and Vista from LAN - both work OK. I would recommend this drive if you are looking for NAS using an older IDE drive. Construction is fine. Manual good enough to complete installation without too much difficulty.

HP iPAQ 111 Classic Handheld (FA979AA#ABA) (110 Series)
Useless
Product is as it appears in the descriptions, but... THE BATTERY LIFE IS WORTHLESS. The model I received and tried to use for 4 days won't stay on for more than 1 minute. It appears fully charged on moment and after I unplug it from the charger/usb drive, it shows the "battery critically low" message and turns off.
I've used HP products for many years, this is the first time I have this ki

PalmOne Tungsten T3 Handheld
Design worthy of Apple - Maybe best Palm PDA ever
These are not being made anymore so to get one you got to through the used/refurbished market. It is still worth picking one up. I think Musicians could get a lot of use out of one of these. They feature a very easy to use voice recorder. This feature is useful for recording musical ideas as they come up. They transfer easily to your desktop/laptop and can be reviewed there if desired.

StarTech SAT2510U2 InfoSafe 2.5-Inch USB/ SATA Hard Drive Enclosure
Flimsy quality, dead on arrival
I've had plenty of external USB hard drive enclosures and needed to cheaply pick up one more for a spare drive, so I figured this one would do the job as well as any. Not quite. I was a bit turned off by the loose feeling connection between the enclosure and my hard drive as well as the fact that the plastic was flaking off literally as I was putting it all together, but I wasn't expecting a top

HP iPAQ RX3115 Pocket PC
Very Affordable!
I recently purchased this item in "used," condition off Amazon.com, and I am very pleased with my purchase.
The device itself is very appealing. It is a bit bulky, but that's because of it's large, crisp LCD display. It also has a built in speaker that works very well, I can hear it loud and clear wherever I go. Oh, and it has an earphone jack that makes it great for listening to musi

Data Robotics DR04DD10 Drobo 4-Bays USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 Fully Automated SAT
2nd gen product is a winner!
I bought my first Drobo in 9/07 to store video, iTunes and do backups. It was a USB device, performance was OK, but not a killer.
This August, 2008, I bought a 2nd generation with FireWire 800. WOW. Its fast! We use it for editing home-videos using Final Cut Express connected to a Mac Book Pro.

Antec MX-1 USB/ e-SATA 3.5-Inch Hard Drive Enclosure
Excellent, affordable enclosure
This SATA enclosure runs very quiet and cool. It takes USB or e-SATA and if very fast on the e-SATA. I have Vista installed on a HDD inside this enclosure and it runs without a hitch.
I don't notice any slowdown between e-SATA and the internal SATA, although I've read this can depend on the quality of your motherboard (for e-sata in general, not for this specific device) and whether i

AcomData HDEXXU2E3 3.5-Inch USB 2.0 Enclosure
Enclosure works fine, but have a few comments.
I have purchased three Acomdata hard drive enclosures from Amazon.com, and all have worked fine. They rate five stars for operating, but I used four stars because it was necessary to bend two wires before installing the drive. Rubber feet prevent the enclosure from sliding on a flat surface, and the mount prevents the enclosure from easily falling over.

When everyone else had a backpack full of textbooks and PowerPoint slides, I just carried my Palm in my pocket. I had my textbook in PDF and my PowerPoint slides all stored in my Palm. When people are busy writing down notes in class, I

Palm Z22 Handheld
Very Dissapointed
I was given this palm in July of 2006 as a gift and I absolutely loved it until it started locking up on me. The battery finally quit after a little over two years of use.
After checking out the Palm help forum and discovering that the Z22 is only expected to last 1-3 years I guess I should consider myself lucky.
Apparently it's more expensive to repair a unit than buy a new on

My ipaq 214 broke after 10 days of use, and HP refuses to fix it even though it is obviously well within the warrantee period. They plan to charge me half the price of the new item. The 24-pin connector was always stiff (unlike the nice cradle that came with my 4700) and became more and more difficult to connect during a trip I took to Iraq. On the 10th day it stopped working altogether, having

This thing is a great value, but dang it runs hot.

I usually leave my external drives on all the time, but I'm afraid if I do so with this one it'll burst into flames, some air vents would have been nice.

Franklin HW-1216 Children's Speller and Dictionary
Real Handy Tool To Have!

I use it frequently and would recommend it to all. The keyboard is nice size and the lcd is actually readable; unlike some that are so small you can't see the letters. It's a simple and basic unit that is really fun to use for kids and fo

Merriam Webster Electronic Speaking Dictionary and Thesaurus
A Must-Have For Word Lovers
I'll never forget now the day I received my electronic dictionary. It has changed my life.

I spent that night and the next day looking up every single word I could think of, even the ones I was familiar with

Franklin Spelling Ace with Thesaurus
Inferior Product
I have a Wordmaster, also manufactured by Franklin. It's about 15 years old, and far superior to this Spelling Ace. I did a random test for synonyms, using the words "heard", "bury", "relish" and "wonder".
The Spelling Ace produced a total of 19 synonyms for these 4 words. My 15-year-old Wordmaster gave me me a total of 80.
I'm sorry I wasted my money on this product, but
