4 megapixels is enough for anybody and the photo quality is awesome .


an extra gig of room , fm radio , voice recorder , pim applications with sync to outlook .


canon 's g3 does it consistently .


the battery is also convenient , but could have been better , such as the zen touch 's battery ( but at least this one is removable ) .


all the buttons & necessary lil ' gadgets are on the sides of the player which is nice for when you are holding it in the palm of your hand .


i am quite happy with the camera .


i am quite happy having over 10 gigs of music stored on this baby as well as a few gigs of media files in the data folder .


all the camera 's functionality is only available ( or selectable ) when the screen is functional .


and bluetooth does not drain the battery as quick as i thought it would , i usually can go 1 . 5 days with bluetooth on along with making calls before i need a full recharge .


i have never had an odor problem ! .


it 's very quiet for a universal motor-driven tool , and the height adjustment stick and variable speed control are great .


it is buggy , slow and basically frustrates the heck out of the user .


4 . the shape of this device is a little squarer , without losing the weight which means better balance and less shaking while clicking .


the player is smaller than you think .


otherwise , it takes very good pictures ; . shutter delay is n 't so bad either .


the games are decent , but u only get 2 to start off with .


i 've tried playing all of these discs and they all play great .


however , i do n 't like to carry it on my belt because the clip is n 't secure and the case can slip off .


the touchpad is annoying sometimes ( give me the click-wheel and pres sable buttons any day ) , but not at all as difficult to get over as other people are saying .


on the t-mobile service i was able to take pics as we drove across i-70 and email them to family & friends once we reached a t-mobile tone ( usually a major city ) .


the card basically installed itself and the `` install wizard `` on the cd that came with the router basically set the router up to work with one computer ( with the 54g card ) and also a second computer in my house ( with an 11b card ) .


it 's not the heaviest around ( i think porter-cable has that distinction ) , but i found its combination of weight and power really too much to allow precise handheld operation .


relative to what i can easily achieve with external flash on my nikon slr , the internal flash on the g3 produces harsh , flat images with ugly hot spots .


it would just spin up and stop , and display `` no disc `` .


i 'm going to try to get a refund but considering all the hoops i jumped through ( emails , downloads , reboots , a purge and another download , plus reading through the help menu ) a refund should be twice as frustrating .


this camera also has a great feel and weight to it .


difficult navigation - i wo n 't necessarily say `` difficult , `` but i do n 't enjoy the scroll wheel to navigate .


also the feature to automatically put in the song information is n 't always accurate .


there is absolutely nothing useful at the symantec/norton site .


so loud , really , that it does n 't work terribly well as a silent ringer option .


2 ) scroll button / switch


i gave up and got a diaper decor .


a huge beautiful color screen which can not been scratched at all even with the rough handling i give it .


great design -- very sleek and touch wheel has still never been successfully copied ( virtual ones are the only competition ) ; . and now the wheel clicks , taking away a lot of headaches from 3rd gen and very navigable in the menus .


we hardly ever have to charge them , get great reception ( live in chicago ) , and the customization and applications are awesome .


quite simply , the firmware and / or the os that control this thing is not ready for prime time .


the only problem i had was a few components didn 't quite load correctly upon startup , but a reboot fixed the problem .


creative was defiantly giving the ipod a run for their money with this device .


the 2nd dvd player had a faulty power supply which caused to occasionally not turn on .


what i really like about- its quite , it can handle my workload and it was so cheap that i can throw it away and buy another one without blinking .


so , i 've had it for a month , and the headphone jack went out .


i love having the option to manually control the f-stop , shutter speed and even focus .


the box included a little polyester , pull-string bag , ( yes , you read right a bag , something a boy would carry ten marbles in ) and tries to pass it off as the case .


if you hold down the scroll wheel too long ( which is common if you have a lot of songs to sort through ) , it will get `` stuck `` rapidly going through the songs and wo n 't stop until several seconds after you let your finger off of it .


as i said , i don 't regret the purchase at all .


the reason i rated it a four is because of that darn diopter adjustment dial . its very small and hard to turn so you can 't get an accurate adjustment ( for those of you who do n 't know what a diopter adjustment is , it is to adjust the focus of the viewfinder to your eyesight . )


f ) it doesnt look pretty -- spending this kind of cash , you want something that has the aesthetics bit down , of course


has 4x optical zoom which is higher than any other in the same price range .


while going for a cellphone , i was fully determined to buy a nokia only as it is the best in cellphones .


it does take some getting used to .


i try navigating to a chapter past 34 via the menu and it would n 't do it ! .


especially for the price amazon gives it at ( i was unable to get mine through amazon due to some credit complications ) .


yes , the features are numerous .


longer battery life , greater accessibility to online music services , and pc compatibility are the sensibilities .


i got about 700 loaded up before it told me i was full , and at that point , i was ready to toss it out the window .


the controls and the menus are clearly displayed and easily fathomed


second , it is incredibly easy to use .


it gives great pictures , the controls are easy to use , the battery lasts forever on one single charge , the software is very user-friendly and it is beautiful in it chrome casing .


i just bought one and returned it as defective for good reason .


it 's great to switch to spot metering and actually see it working on the lcd screen .


i am enjoying my phone a lot . . . .


this is a good deal for music and data storage .


i 've had it for about 2 weeks and it 's the best player i 've seen , and used , ever .


the only reason for not giving it 5 stars : the claimed battery life of 12 hours is very optimistic - possible maybe if you really sit down and listen continuously for 12 hours without ever touching the player , but in real life i can probably get 6-8 hours at most .


the color and light i captured with this camera on a 12-day trip to turkey ( gorgeous vividly colored ceramic tiles inside darkened mosques ) were far superior to anything i 've ever gotten with a traditional 35-mm film camera .


the little bag it comes with is cheap and useless .


i 'd be happy to talk to anyone about this camera .


after scouring the various boards i find this is an arbitrary and pervasive problem .


wo n 't play a lot of discs .


too bad the product is cumbersome and intertwined trying to do so much at one time .


i dont especially like how music files are unstructured ; . basically they are just dumped into one folder with no organization , like you might have in windows explorer folders and sub folders .


sure , it 's a little bigger than the ipod , but not by much .


first of all the player 's sound quality is superior to the ipod .


i have transferred in about 2 , 400 tracks so far - very easy to use both the ipod and itunes .


they didn 't know what the problem could be .


this fixes some glitches such as the player freezing .


the player works well with my sony srs-a 202 powered speakers .


also as someone who at least knows a little bit about the technical work of taking a photo i really miss having manual controls .


other than that it is all the same except the new updates .


nice machines , but i consider their quality pretty low now .


basic usage is easy , but the remote has a lot of buttons that i have n 't used .


the first thing i did was upgrade the firmware to the version required for wmp10 , it syncs flawlessly with media player and transfers are fast .


the speaker phone is very functional and i use it in the car , very audible even with freeway noise .


negatives of the player itself : you need to do a little work before having full enjoyment of this player .


they player 's interface itself is also very easy to use .


huge storage space - even at 320kbs , you can store a ton of songs on this thing .


2 ) the delay from the time you fully depress the shutter to the time the picture is taken is too long and may yield some fuzzy shots .


the sound quality is excellent ( and i 'm fussy with that stuff ) , the unit looks cool , screen is bright and easy to read , and the replaceable battery means a major advantage over the ipod ( besides the price , but everyone knows that ) .


5 . check traffic411 . com for la traffic on the 405 .


overall , this product is awesome .


battery life is ok .


it fits in your pocket .


even after reading some of the instructions , it 's still hard to figure out .


this router acts as a wireless access point , 100 mb switch and a router making it a nice multipurpose device .


the phone is sturdy .


what disappointed me is the fact that it does not seem to read certain dvds .


and , other else , the camera is still vga .


the volume level of the phone is not all that good .


it does have a lense cap , but it wo n 't let you take pics with it on which is real good .


i took my zen micro with me over the weekend , and was forced to lug my laptop with me on the trip for one reason : to keep the zen micro charged .


there was no compromise this little camera does amazing things .


2 the camera is so small that when you attach some lenses i have the 19mm wide-angle -- wc-e 68 , the optical viewfinder is partially obscured .


it does well in all aspects of internet browsing .


i tried to contact apex to return it ( i missed the amazon return period ) and it took 3 months to get through to their customer service dept .


when talking the voice is not very clear .


linksys is more costlier than others and is a home/consumer division of disco .


overall i 'm incredibly impressed with my new zen touch .


in addition it is very easy to setup .


having usb 2 . 0 makes for very fast transfers .


the songs do n 't play one after another like on a cd .


apple still does it better but needs to come out with a 5 gig mini .


this is not a router i would suggest for a novice user , my old dlink di52 ! .


the major reasons i didn 't give it a five are : one , i didn 't think the fine adjustment worked well .


the only problem is that occasionally the joystick does start to dig into your thumb while gaming .


everything else about the camera is great .


another point of note : the battery life is incredible ! .


and i can 't warn you enough to stay away from norton ! . ! .


if you haven 't noticed , they designed it so that you can also take vertical pictures when you do the self-timer .


if you use software correctly , put in all the id3 tags , you will get an awesome database collection , from which you can easily access your songs .


what really made this a mediocre mp3 player for me was the software .


i absolutely love it .


overall an excellent phone .


the eq is awful , and even at top volumes , the bass is flat sounding .


at the very least , a sturdier more protective carrying case would be nice .


( every now and then i spray down the inside of the pail with lysol ) *easy one-hand use *impossible for my inquisitive child to get the dirty diapers out of the pail every now and then odors do escape the pail , but that is rare -- and it usually just means that we 've crammed too much in there and need to change the bag .


only one complaint about the speakerphone , you can only activate the speakerphone feature once the person you are calling answers the phone , not while it is ringing .


this camera has a major design flaw .


i must have gotten a good one .


one drop from a pocket or desktop , and it 'd be a goner .


i had a lot of problems setting it up , since the software given along with it is buggy .


now it will not load any disk or just says that there is no disk .


the picture quality of this camera is outstanding ( taking its ' size and price into consideration ) .


the fit and finish of the product is first-rate .


the customer service dept did not list a toll free number and it was a real hassle to get through on their regular line .


i just bought this player today and i already love it .


: ! . ok , score 7 . 0 oh yes , the newest color of this phone is quite cool .


the blue backlight is pretty cool .


if you on the other hand always use automatic settings ( and not manual ) you should be just fine , as the camera features some of the best automatic settings i have ever seen .


the lcd screen is too small since there are so many cameras that have larger ones .


it doesn 't bog down under load .


with the champ all you had to do was drop the dirty diaper into the opening and flip the lid .


the height adjustment knob is a bit flimsy , but it works well and provides good accuracy .


of course , if you try to reach symantec customer service you get useless automated systems unless you want to pay $ 30 per incident .


i got this camera for an unbelievably low price at amazon .


for some this might be a problem , but for the price of a 30 gig ipod , you can get a 60gb nomad , the ipod simply pales in comparison .


this player is an ideal purchase .


however , if there was one thing i liked about the creative , it would be the car adapter .


my brother had an old linksys b band wireless router in his home and it was like magic .


it it is a bit heavy for hand held work , but any router this size will be .


but it takes gorgeous pictures for a 2 . 1 mp camera .


i would not be inclined to purchase an apex product again .


the fact that this model would play jpeg slide shows was a big plus for me as a visual artist , and i discovered by accident ( it is not mentioned anywhere in the literature ) that it will play mpeg1 files on a regular cd-r data disk without vcd formatting .


i also did n 't like the way it displayed information way down into the screen when you are in zoom mode .


it is mindless to operate .


once it froze so bad i couldn 't even use the power button to turn it off , and had to open and take out the battery .


i got this for christmas , and it is a great gift .


and the firewall came with a wizard which made it effortless to configure it to my lan .


although it has chubby hips , the device isn 't really so big .


the manual is easy to understand , and it is mostly idiot proof .


dont rely on t-mobile rebates .


the dynamic range seems not quite as good as the kodak dc260 .


there is a clock , and date , which can get helpful .


lots of sound options , has an equalizer almost like winamp with the options .


the included earbuds were uncomfortable .


it has an equalizer , but the iriver h10-20gb has a lot more presets than the ipod .


the hitachi is made in malaya , and looked cheap compared with the makita , which is made in the usa .


rather than creating a directory for bookmarks to be found in one area , the user must actually find the track where the bookmark was made . .


the internet functions of the phone - wap and gprs - will only work through t-mobile 's services , because they have deleted the menu options that would enable you to configure the phone to be used on a different network .


i have n 't messed with the firmware at all , the player worked perfect for me right out of the box .


i then tried to set up the router through linksys 's browser interface , but as the only instructions available tell you to use the installation cd , i had little luck - i did manage to connect briefly , but the connection kept dropping , and with no idea of how to resolve that issue , i gave up .


this is a great phone i have this phone since feb 04 and i never have any problem at all .


if you have to buy a camera on a bu get , this has got to be the one .


remote buttons are small and closely spaced , especially with the menu buttons .


- speakerphone


you 'll do that because the keys are tightly packed in and your fingers will likely press two keys at once .


it contains the smell from our baby 's diapers and we can use just about any kind of bag inside .


in true nokia style , the phone is simple to use and despite its delicate appearance , this little guy is as durable as other nokias i have owned .


*the ipod is overly sensitive to just about everything and gets scratched easily .


cons breaks easily .


the wrt54g plus the hga7t is a perfect solution if you need wireless coverage in a wider area or for a hard-walled house as was my case .


if you are looking for a phone to integrate as easily as the sonyericsson phones with isync , i say stick with a sonyericsson .


i did n 't read a thing about how to operate it -- it was just intuitive .


i 'd give it 5 stars if the automatic modes were better and if there were true manual focus and exposure modes .


after upgrading the drivers and firmware a few times and e-mailing tech support for some setting tips it now works fine .


interface - practically seamless .


no one has ever come to my house and noticed 'diaper odor . '


my op ion is concentrate on what you need now , this product has excellent range , holds a teddy connection , ha sent even drooped one and i have it for more than a month now .


it gives you the most bang for your buck , period .


creative are * the * sound people for computers , i can 't understand why eax would introduce static .


some movies it played yesterday , it wo n 't play today .


the sound quality is also nice . . . after i hooked up my sony headphones instead of those factory earbuds it comes with .


the g3 has most if not all of the features that you would want from a semi-pro / pro slr with a good range of manual options for those who know something about photography .


turn the camera on while pressing the button ( or is it the menu button ? . i have to check again = ) ) and it 'l show you the time and date .


i 've had this for 3 months now , and i am pleased with my decision .


it seems to me that after the focus and metering are complete there is quite a lag before the shutter ? .


its a tough one this unless you wan na drive your car over it .


hold button -- suprisingly not all mp3s have this ; . this allows you to have all the buttons unusable , so that you don 't accidently hit something in your pocket .


8 . connected the phone to my tablet pc and now can access company von at 56k speed via bluetooth .


i recommend it to both parents of infants and toddlers .


but those 2 come up every time .


i haven 't seen any problems yet , but if you don 't like to tinker a bit , this player can be a little challenging to set up .


as far as linksys goes , i have used several of their products and they seem to hold up well - no problems .


4 ) no fm or voice recording - these would have been nice extras .


a decent piece of hardware with great speed ( i get the same speeds as with my comp connected directly to the modem ) and good signal quality .


also , i have not had trouble reading svcds that i created and br mp3 cds ( my old apex ad-1200 had trouble with these ) .


supporting an operating system , symbian os , you can download and run a lot of programs on this phone .


first of all , the phone houses a great deal of memory for multiple videos , sound clips , photos , texts , etc .


it is a very amazing product .


the sound quality is very good .


i 'm giving this player cautious recommendation .


a few of my work constituents owned the g2 and highly recommended the canon for picture quality .


long reboots due to norton taking forever to boot .


but after 10 days , the sound worked , but the video quit working .


- looks sleek , compact , has a radio .


same story as everybody else when trying to get service from apex - nothing .


let the champ win you over ! .


the camera is solid , performs well , takes good pictures , and the battery lasts pretty long if you disable the lcd viewfinder .


the pics can be touched up in photoshop , and be printed at 4x6 and they look great ! .


the cons are n 't really a big deal to me . . . except one con that does annoy me is the way it stores files . . . no folder structure . . . and it 's based on the title of the songs . . . many of my songs where separated into folders ( on the pc ) . . . and a few had same titles . . . so i had to change the titles to make sure that i did n 't have any that might be the same as another .


the only con i can think of is the lack of a mega-pixel camera .


this is an excellent router for the money .


the inside pics , can be a bit challenging , but when you can instantly delete pics you dont like , that are not focused perfectly , or need lighting adjustments , make this camera very simple and effective .


since then , i have not found one major problem with it .


the support has been less than impressive , considering the cost .


i recently purchased the canon powershot g3 and am extremely satisfied with the purchase .


i have noted that as you use the tool , sawdust builds in the channel and it requires attention .


i downloaded a trial version of computer associates ex firewall and antivirus and fell in love with a computer security system all over again .


i use the router with a 3 1/2in raised panel bit with no problems .


new firmware update allows for automatic wireless network configuration .


i find that it is stable in my hands and its ' weight actually contributes to that stability .


it 's a bit pricey to call home from other countries but the instant messaging to and from covered countries in europe are quite reasonable .


the arm band is fantastic and it doesn 't budge even at the gym .


it holds almost a week 's worth of diapers , and you don 't need expensive refills - any kitchen bags work .


it 's very solidly built , and has a nice dense feel to it .


well , i got my second player , and right out of the box it wasn 't working right and once again , after consulting customer se ! .


the software with the ipod includes itunes , which allows you to play the music on your computer , rip cds onto your computer , and move your music from the computer to the ipod .


don 't use them , so i delete them for addle space .


i thought i 'd have to buy a set of headphones to use with it , but the included earbuds work quite well .


this camera takes amazing pictures and its size can not be beat .


after less than 24 hours it turned out to be a huge disappointment , for myself and for my parents , for whom it was a gift .


capacity is not a problem here .


simple click buttons , back buttons volume and display are very easy to read , access and use .


so i took out the battery and put it back in again , only to find that it would not work .


the 6610 excels as a cell phone , thank god .


its ability to record radio is useful as well , but would have been more so if it could be preset .


the progressive scan option can be turned off easily by a button on the remote control which is one of the simplest and easiest remote controls i have ever seen or used .


i also like the fact that you can edit your mp3 titles , etc .


on several different occasions it has displayed `` no disc `` with a disc inside .


we just buy the smaller bags that come like 250 to a roll and are scented and they are like $ 6 . 00 and they work great .


i also own a canon digital rebel and i agree that the advanced controls on the sd500 are not as robust , but overall picture quality goes head-to-head with the digital rebel .


very bad quality .


in my opinion it 's the best camera for the money if you 're looking for something that 's easy to use , small good for travel , and provides excellent , sharp images .


i am happy with the fact that i can use any bag in there and dont ' have to pay out the nose for replacements .


i 've tried the belkin fm transmitter unit with it & it worked well when i set it on top of a portable radio , but was awful trying to use in the car which is somewhat of a disappointment .


i 've had this beauty for nearly 2 months now and i truely love it .


the only main drawback is the fact that the voice-dialing system is kinda picky .


transferring files couldn 't be easier thanks to the included software bundle .


also , the display is `` hinged `` and it can be placed in a myriad of positions , or to protect it against any damage .


other than that , i think it is the best router for the money .


i find the apex ad-2600 to be a great buy .


i am a big fan of itunes , simply because it is terribly fast and convenient - if you are buying the songs from the itunes site .


the buttons on the phone are small , even for my small fingertips , but you get used to them rather quickly .


the headphones are not very comfortable , but most people have a certain style they like so just go buy new ones or keep the ones you have .


the program is called nomad and works great for me and seems to cover all the features the included windows software does .


sometimes the pictures are on the dark side , but i 'm able to fix that using the photoshop 6 . 0 `` adjust levels `` function . . . not sure how a person would do that without photoshop , though .


2 . it takes a while for the camera to actually capture the photograph from the time you click the button and i have seen people becoming a little impatient waiting for the flash to glow .


however , this product performed well below my expectation .


there is no way the battery supplied lasts 14 hours ! .


and if you 're a mac user like me , they 've naturally made sure you have no viable alternative .


the greatest thing about the software ( in my humble ) is that it reads your cd info .


after 4 attempted installs , i have finally given up .


it also has a stock tracking app built in ( also useless ) and a somewhat useful application which converts all types of metrics ( currency , length , area , etc ) .


my favorite thing about the nomad is the eax feature .


after some research on the net , i discovered that there is indeed a flaw with the current wrt54g design ( wrt54g , version 3 , which amazon currently sells ) .


being a very economical person , i appreciate the fact that any plastic bag can be used with this system- i never did like the prospect of buying special diaper genie refills .


the speakerphone , the radio , all features work perfectly .


my only complaint and the reason i gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the on-camera controls aren 't as intuitive as they should be .


both the antivirus and firewall are integrated into one piece of software and they update together .


the more i use it and figure out how to do things , the more i like it .


i 'd give it 4 . 5 stars if possible , but since 5 stars would be misleading , i give it 4 stars .


the main advantage of this system over its predecessor is the ability to open a wider pipeline between clients .


great phone . . .


for the zen creative focused on packaging which looked well thought out , well presented and easy to open and put back together .


i am glad that i do not work for norton .


on the positive side , the sound of the player is pretty good , once you have everything configured .


i had tried to uninstall norton internet security a few weeks ago , and it wouldn 't let me do that either .


but when we went to use it again , there was sound but no picture .


the rate plans are also very good , at least for me .


the build quality shows why its so cheap - small scratches on the base plate , something that you would n 't see on a sony and an overall plastic feel


every time nomad thinks the file is corrupt the os freezes .


this is the best camera you can have for digital images if you want to :


best in class .


nokia was my first non flip phone , and i 'm glad i decided to go with them .


well , within 45 days the video output quit working ( both rca & optic ) .


but , it seems to work so well now , that i do n 't anticipate any problems with it .


3 ) 4x zoom is nice


some adjustments in the settings could help make it better .


the dynamic playlists ( `` now playing `` , i be live creative calls it ) feels very awkward at times and some menus simply take to long to get to and operate . . .


the sound quality is superb , much better than that of an ipod , in my opinion .


i 'm not sure why all the bad reviews , my computer isn 't especially slowed down and i have win '98 .


many have complained about the software included but in my opinion it 's easy to use and effective .


i can 't smell anything ( and believe me , this is quite something with my baby ) .


the ipod comes formatted for the mac , but within seconds of plugging it into a pc , is automatically reformatted for windows . ( the hp version comes with windows formatting , and takes seconds to change to mac . ) although the ipod can be changed from one format to another , you will lose all of your music and data when doing so .


after multiple tries , one of the disks was finally recognized but video was poor and features not available .


dependability : i 've seen no glitches .


one complaint . . . the screen is too easily scratched ! .


2 ) phone is awfully slow .


creative has been making computer sound equipment for decades and with the zen micro it finally has something with enough quality and , yes , charm to win a nice size of the digital player pie .


it also has a voice recorder and fm radio that you can only get on an ipod if you but an adapter seperately .


navigation is a bit tricky and takes getting used to but the included pdf instructions cover the operation pretty well .


no matter the format .


it 's rechargable and supposedly easy to replace though i haven 't had to do it yet of course .


gets stinky after a few months , the seal on the piston doesn 't seal anymore .


i have no problem using itunes with the zen micro ( in a makeshift sorta way ) .


after reading reviews of lcd problems , cracked , black blobs etc , i figured that it was probably a very limited problem .


i own this phone for about 6 months now , i have used the following features : bluetooth connection to laptop and desktop for sync contacts and calendars with outlook , transfer files ( movies , songs ) , i have many movies on it now with a 512mb memory card that it takes .


the keys are laid out normal so there is no guessing .


only 1 problem , no accessories . . . yet .


the eax features are pretty cool , as well , as creative has included a number of eq adjustments that , for example , compensate for the extraneous noise encountered in a car or on a train .


software - music match jukebox is n 't the greatest , the search function is n 't fast even when accessing it with the hot key shortcut .


another problem i had with this camera was the zoom function .


but the sound is very good ( and loud ) and works well on my portable speakers .


the dual antenna is a plus and the design is slick .


when the screen stops working , you 're out of luck ! .


of course one of the first things i did was write an email to the customer support at creative , through their website , and by the time they finally got back to me - several working days later when they promise only one - their suggestions were completely worthless .


the ringtones are beautiful , the screen is super high quality .


i did not managed to make creative nomad explorer to work .


cons : no am/fm radio tuner -- something a large number of compete tors are doing


the 6600 was the best phone i could find with these options that i could get with t-mobile .


i researched and researched between getting the canon s20 or the canon s100 , and of course i got the latter ! .


the champ did not start letting a little odor through until well over a year .


with all its complicated features , the menus are easily accessible and the quality of the features is great .


it wouldn 't always work seamlessly with wmp and it often required me to restart the frozen micro by taking out the battery and restarting it .


this makes for a great phone .


the headphone jack failure seems to occur just about when the warranty period is to expire .


while they all seem to have their own positives and negatives , i picked the zen micro over the ipod mini , because i am not an apple person , never has been - i wanted something that is fully compatible with windows media player .


also , the touchpad seems to be waterproof to some degree .


one neat thing - i have taken some pictures in what i thought would be impossible lighting conditions pitch black rooms - no problem for the camera - rooms looked like they had ample lighting .


i discovered that the camera has a manual mode that gives you total control over exposure , white balance , flash ( red eye , person against bright background , flash on , flash off , flash automatic ) .


only used for 3 month before it 's down ! .


mine was 2 weeks old and i chucked it in the trash , where it belongs .


could be better to be a perfect camera ( and some competitors do some of this better ) : purple fringing , details in high-light area , noise over iso100 , red-eyes , ( few ) processing artefact 's , ( few ) loss of some details especially of the hairs of peoples in low light , automatic autofocus , whizzing while video-playback , better video compression ( smaller viedo-files ) , more manual controls , longer lasting battery , indicator for battery , better protection of the lcd , less weight .


both the on/off switch ( soft start ) and the depth lock are within easy reach of the right hand .


now that i have all my music on it there has n 't been any more problems .


cuts are easy and smooth .


i think it is a combination of the program size taking up resources and the open/close scanning that it does with every program .


with the right firmware , drag and drop to and from the player like any other jump drive .


it surpasses my greatest expectations in a 4mp camera . .


apex is the best cheap quality brand for dvd players .


but it comes with a tank of a case and if you cut a piece out where the screen is you can always keep it in the case and still access everything .


zen allows you to scroll up and down the song list selected on the player .


this is one of the nicest phones nokia has made .


another irrigation is that if you hold the scroll button down for too long , it keeps going past the song you may have wanted to stop on .


it has a few inconveniences : one is that the songs do not automatically play one after another like on a cd .


great sound ; . good interface ; . replaceable , powerful battery ; . good software ; . wake-up , sleep timers ; . multiple play modes


after two weeks the picture kept freezing .


i will also say that it takes a very long moment for the camera to do its digital image processing between the time you press the button and when the camera actually takes the picture .


the software runs smooth , it 's nice to look at , it 's very organized , easy to follow and makes things very simple .


i originally gave this camera 5 stars . when i had windows 98 it was wonderful but i got a new computer last november with xp the usb software is soho . . . not compatible with xp


fm radio built in ( howard stern ) .


there will be much erasing of text as , one would tend to type something instead of the actual letters .


the headphones are n 't the best , but you can really expect much out of the small headphones you insert in the ear cavity .


) no locked-in proprietary business like apple ; . this baby plays wmas too .


* i 'm giving it 4 stars because the setup process was so miserable .


unfortunately i bought a player because the ps2 could n 't play all my dvds , and now the player can 't play everything .


battery recharge , is an awesome thing , because it recharges in only like 2-3 hours .


for the money , i 'm not sure you can do better .


it took several days of attempts before things finally `` worked `` again and i have n 't a clue why .


it had issues right off the bat , with freezing up , staying in 'shutting down ' mode , and just not functioning very well in general .


it 's easier and much more convenient to use because it doesn 't have clumsy and confusing ( not to mention expensive ) refills .


i would have liked to have given it 4 1/2 stars docking that 1/2 star only for the size .


i have had this player for 3 months and have been able to see a total of 6 dvd 's , after the frustration and aggravation of getting the player to do it 's job .


8 ) creative mediasource , although not as sleek looking as windows media player , is effective in organizing your collection and is linked to a good cb service ( gracenotes ) .


the zooming lever is shaky , i hope it does not operate mechanically , otherwise you 'll feel uneasy .


finally , amazon 's free shipping is really getting good , it took only 3 working days for the player to reach me ! .


it has a clear blue light that allows you to see everything on the screen easily .


my favorite features , although there are many , are the speaker phone , the radio and the infrared .


after hooking the thing up , i found that it would only played less than 50 % of the dvds i put in it .


i rarely get drawn in by mass-commercialism , but something about the ipod made me say , in the words of lou and andy , `` i want that one ! . `` i was willing to shell out


the black fly wheel feels pretty cheap & is uncomfortable to use .


in terms of the shots taken , this camera is insanely great ! .


this is probably your best bet if you are looking for a phone in this price range , or like me , do not have the patience to deal with annoying flip phones .


we empty ours every day and we have never had an odors from it ! .


1 ) frame freezes and the family yells , `` dad ! . somethings wrong with the dvd player ! . come quick ! . ``


the pc sync feature is superb that comes with nokia pc suite software ( with data cable or infrared port or bluetooth ) .


this phone is one of the best i 've ever used .


the instructions would benefit from some improvement and it would help if the rp ms of the speed settings were mentioned .


can 't say whether i rec 'd an `` updated `` model but it will not read dvd + rw 's or vcd 's for me .


the volume key can be hard to press , but i think this may be by design rather than a flaw , perhaps to keep you from pressing it accidentally when you are in a call .


the fm tuner , the 5g of storage , and the removable disk are all great features .


also , the battery 's aren 't user replaceable .


it receives very nice mms pictures from other gsm phones .


) worst feature possible , this alone makes it rate one star : what 's up with no recharge cord ? .


i find it a bit difficult to manage the very tiny buttons and impossible to read the icons without my reading glasses on .


first , the player did not allow me to access the menus of dvds .


the touchpad is virtually unusable -- sometimes you have to press like mad to make a selection and other times the slightest brush causes something to be selected that you don 't want .


this phone has a very cool and useful feature -- the speakerphone .


a little weighty ( 9 ounces . . . no biggie ) , but otherwise fine .


it plays original dvds and cds and plays mp3s and jpegs .


it has everything i needed : bluetooth , infrared , support for mmc , camera , and a good operating system with lots of supporting software .


i didnt have any installation problems ; . and the touch pad is fine , even if it is sort of inaccurate .


without a doubt the finest looking apex dvd player that i 've seen .


getting files onto it is quick and painless .


pi ii 1ghz 512mb rd ram windows xp pro 80gb hd i was able to uninstall nis 2003 and install nis 2004 with no trouble .


have had the nokia 6600 for a year now and am generally very happy with it and with t-mobile .


+ the memory ( 40 gb ) is staggering .


the camera does a great job with exposure and prints made with my professional printer looks great ( not as good as prints from my pro digital camera , but still very good ) .


it was no problem for me to use their software .


configuring it for a home network was almost impossible .


* lens visible in optical viewfinder .


there seem to be fewer collisions and dropped packets as i read from the router logs than with my old dlink router .


i bought the diaper champ and have been very happy for the following reasons .


its compact and has rounded edges .


great features . . .


it is more than 90 days and it does not show the picture no matter what i do .


there is no odor and extremely easy to use .


the keys are close together , and the layout is a bit funky in relation to standard rectangular layout keypads , but it 's not too weird .


received apex dvd and the picture was great when set up with s connector .


it is a multifunction phone , reception quality is better than the 610 .


newbies will find the full auto setting will give them perfect pictures right out of the box .


i didnt get ipod because i dont especially like itunes ( no music i want , but thats just me ) and the creative product was cheaper ; . and i needed to be able to use wma files .


and best of all , no wasting money on special refill bags -- -this takes ordinary garbage bags ! .


it is much easier to fill and unload than the diaper genie , plus , why buy refills when you can use trash bags from the dollar store ? .


five gigabytes is plenty for my great albums .


1 no direct firewire to the camera .


but i wanted to do some raised panel work and needed more power and variable speed to run the large-diameter bits .


d ) software is another great misfortune -- hard to operate , crashes frequently , screwed my music library up , doesnt work with mp4s , the list goes on and on


it 's a very intuitive program .


* does not provide enough volume when connected to larger headphones , or external receivers ( car radio ) .


everything , so far , has worked flawlessly .


surfing the web on it is nice as well , i just wish there were more wap pages available .


problems with the sound quality were evident right away , but even i couldn 't imagine they 'd be that bad .


1 it has all the features an amatuer photo-enthusiast would want .


i love the rounded edges now , fits so much better in a pocket , jeans or suit .


handsfree future is good , but not too exciting .


we tried it out christmas night and it worked great .


negative : impossibly tiny and difficult to operate , barely visible , power button .


it looks nice and sleek and the blue background light looks awesome against the black .


the setup was a breeze , i had some reservations about a wireless network ( see my review for linksys wet11 ) but this item was on sale as well as the wet11 so i just had to splurge .


my other nit is that it didn 't include at least some kind of carrying case for everything .


i purchased two of these players for christmas gifts , and both were bad .


at first i had a problem with some smell , then i realized if you flip the lid back and always keep the same side facing in - then there is no smell at all ! .


it is hot enough to be annoying .


doesn 't have alot of good games on it .


works pretty well .


i love this phone .


the menus are easy to scroll through ; . they are laid out naturally , and make sense .


navigation is easy and i found that syncing files from the player to the computer ( and vice verse ) was easy too .


those used to 35mm cameras will find the g3 very comfortable and friendly to use .


the sound quality with jazz and pop music is equally superior .


i 've had this camera just over 2 years and it takes pretty good pictures .


+ screen was good , easy to read


everything that i have listed above , the zen has , and more .


i got this thing for christmas and i have been very happy with it ever since .


while this phone obviously doesn 't have the same quality construction as motorola does , the nokia 6600 is one of the better phones i 've used .


overall build quality , good macros-results , impressive video-quality , good pictures with flash ( good colours , sharp results ) , excellent auto white balance .


you hit the message button on the front and it takes a matter of seconds to bring up the menu .


3 ) the champ is odor free for at least 15 months .


even though you could get a cheap router these days , i 'm happy i spent a little extra for the linksys .


the fm tuner is just a little spare icing on the cake .


i am so pleased with this product ! . ! . ! .


saw the hitachi on amazon . com with their $ 25 . 00 coupon ( at the time ) and could not resist trying it out .


when the router is working it is a very nice machine for the money .


this is also the case with nis 2004 .


when you learn how to change some settings , you can make the quality even better


-- > too difficult to change genre / album / track information for large number of tracks .


this is somewhat annoying , but from working with computers ( especially windows -- ugh . . . )


have had the player since xmas 's and love it ! .


the lcd is larger than the previous model , the nx , and has a bright blue backlight which illuminates the screen more successfully than the nx 's green backlight did .


once installed , however , some of the functions do work ok ( disk doctor , one button checkup , and win doctor ) .


battery life is not long enough if and only if you take a lot of video clips and play it back on the camera a lot of times . . . the camera/battery gets a little bit warm too when you use it for a long time but it 's normal .


the bottom line is `` phone is cool one - only for the moment , as its the latest phone in the market and has all the new features , but this will soon be displaced by upcoming newer phones `` .


overall it is a great value .


when you turn on your player , the player turns on really fast , and the music continues to play , as you left it when you were turning it off .


the sound is bright and clear , the ability to store any mp3 's ( and not just apple-approved files ) is great , and i plan to make use of the storage space and sound recording from time to time .


it fits comfortably in my hand and pocket .


you do get 1 more gb than an ipod mini .


reset the network , tried the connection , and it 's working like a charm .


at first glance , i thought this phone was a little too big for me , maybe a little too complicated .


no need to pay for the special refills that the other brands require ! .


it comes with a good case that fits it snugly .


the software failed repeatedly .


yes there is a corner lens barrel distortion ( i do n 't like it too but no harm done since i always use the cam ea lcd screen to see exactly what i 'm going to get ) in the viewfinder when you do n 't zoom ( when you zoom the lens distortion goes away ) , canon knows this and engineered it that way to minimize the parallax phenomenon ; . that is what lamest exactly ot the picture .


not only is it much more cost effective ( you can use regular trash bags rather than refills at $ 5 a pop ) , it is easier to use and clean , and has a larger capacity .


i think the os and controls are very well thought out and although i 'll admit i was a bit intimidated during my first few hours with the micro , the interface and controls became second nature after the first day or so .


you can take pic of your friends and the picture will pop up when they call .


this is my second digital camera , but i 'm much more impressed with the canon s100 digital elph than i ever was with my kodak dc240 .


colors : 10 variety of hot colors made it difficult to choose from .


all and all , i am extremely pleased with this camera .


putting in mp3 player , lots of games and application to download .


i use the regular kitchen trash bags and it is so easy to empty .


battery life is good for a phone of this size .


it is a bit difficult to get the unit open ( the advice to take it slowly is sound ) , but now that our son is walking and exploring , i consider this a positive attribute ! .


i do n 't always care for gracenotes ' genre listings but it allows easy editing of id3 tags .


the dvd door would scratch the top of the disc every time it closed .


the program is fully featured , with much of what you 'd want from a security program --


what the g3 raw image software gives you is a fantasy world designed to please the uncritical .


i could probably use a trash can and be ok at this point , but this pr duct seems to work very well so far .


i really liked the price . . .


2 ) the remote works , but then it does not work , and you are left standing there thinking you are doing something wrong .


we really enjoyed shooting with the canon powershot sd500 .


the creative software is awkward / difficult to use and just plain does n 't load on some computers .


the zen xtra will transfer the files to the player , but not the folder name .


we tried the `` finding memo `` dvd and when we got to ~ chapter 28 , the frames started to freeze for no reason .


after installation , the very first time i booted up the creative mediasource organizer , intending to use its cd burning and ripping functions , it totally shorted out .


i have to say i 'm also pretty impressed by the user interface for playing jpeg , mp3 and mpeg files stored on cd-rs / dvds .


i have not yet seen any of the usual problems with digital pictures ( purple fringing , etc ) so i am very pleased .


i have excellent hearing but the volume level on this phone is especially quiet .


it has never worked .


advanced photo bugs will find more creative control than imaginable .


at the end of the day , what i wanted was a large-capacity player which allows me to easily play any album from my collection wherever i go , and the zen xtra 's combination of price , capacity and features easily meets those criteria .


i really regret signing up with t-mobile , but i 'm stuck with them for the next 6 months of the contract .


to address two previous somewhat negative reviews : ( 1 ) yes , the lens barrel does obstruct part of the lower left corner in the lens viewfinder ; . however , the lcd viewfinder is rather stunning and i find myself rarely using the lens viewfinder .


i have it for a week now , and this camera has exceeded my expectations .


the back of the ipod is in a chrome finish , and this surface is prone to scratches .


1-a cell phone is to make calls , in other words , quality of reception and mic/speaker are the most important , the 6600 has a relatively low volume speaker , you 'd have to press it hard against your ear to hear anything the other person is saying , unless the surroundings were completely quiet .


bottom line . . . great product , unbeatable price .


do not buy this product --


3- it is slow , if you keep the original configuration and prigs ( why 'd u buy it then ? . ! . ) it 'll run smoothly , but still slower than most other coloured-screen nokias .


yes , the 1-800 number probably redirected me to someone in india , but the guy was easy to understand , and he helped solve the problem .


i am extremely satisfied with this camera .


this phone won me over , and a big seller was the size ; . it fits nicely into any pocket without falling out .


the interface software itself , which should be user-friendly , was anything but easy-to-use .


after using it , i found the size to be perfect for carrying in a pocket .


i tried as bunch of different formats to see if it would play and it did .


but i 've already emailed creative tech support about it , and gotten timely responses - they will fix it for me if necessary . . .


in noisy environment , it 's hard to hear from the earpiece .


since zen does not have an external antenna it has some problems catching weak signals but it works .


getting the router setup in a `` vanilla `` configuration that works for 99 % of users was very easy , and i was able to do this no problem .


in addition it comes with a sleek and powerful headset .


another good feature is that you can charge the battery by just connecting the player to your computer using the usb cable .


one good thing , it is 40 gb of disk space ( well , it is 38 gb in reality ) .


another nice thing is that the unit has both optical and coax digital audio outputs , though the latter was not mentioned in the literature i 'd scanned before buying .


multimedia functions are enhanced by multi-slide mms messages and a gallery for organizing digital content captured or downloaded with the phone .


i spent hours setting up the stations ( accepts about 13-14 , i believe ) , though the reception is unpredictable .


over all a fantastic very compact camera , which made us experience photography on a totally new level ! .


the interface , while a bit confusing at first , is very easy to navigate after about 15 minutes .


i downloaded this set from norton , and within minutes my internet connection failed and my pc was almost dead due to registry problems from the download .


i decided to save the $ $ and opted for the zen xtra . . . and i was not disappointed .


i also wanted to switch to broad com hardware ( which the linksys uses ) because my wifi menisci card in my dell laptop with lucien silicon in it used 70 % of my 1 . 2ghz laptop 's cpu when using the wireless at full speed .


it is currently permanently mounted ( 3 years now ) in my router table and will most likely stay there until its shot .


so far the dvd works so i hope it does n 't break down like the reviews i 've read .


even with the waterproof housing it is small .


the battery , as others have said , also seems weaker than creative suggests .


i found using the supplied mediasource software very easy .


it was immediately noticeable that nis slows down my computer ( pent4 , 256 ram ) .


unless you have an enormous music/audio book library , the 20 gb model should have more than adequate storage capacity , with a stated ability to hold 5000 songs .


i have owned some kind of creative audio product since 1993 and have never had to call tech support .


oh . . . and file transfers are fast & easy .


always carried it in a case in by briefcase but one day the hard drive just zapped .


these issues aside , the ipod is kind of like the cell phone in that once you have one , you can 't be without one .


recent price drops have made the g3 the best bargain in digital cameras currently available .


but if you want a great deal and a great mp3 player , get the nomad .


at double-speed ( 2x forward speed ) , it still plays mp3s with sound -- they are pitch-corrected and smooth , but twice as fast ! .


also , the instruction manual is very bad .


the powershot g3 is a great camera .


best electronic i 've bought since i was born .


if you are just looking for something to keep with you at all times , then this is a great camera choice .


its easy to use and the sheer fun of being able to use an array of nikon accessories like the telephoto and wide-angle lenses is the proverbial icing on the cake .


the nomad is not ugly , it is not that big , it comfortably fits in my pocket , or heavy , and the controls are not hard to get used to .


either way , can 't go wrong with this price .


*holds the odor in nicely ! .


i had a question about the pros and cons of turning off the norton firewall vs . the windows firewall , and waited 45 minutes to speak with a tech support representative because i did not have a `` customer priority id number . ``


it works well with my vip adapter , which is also a linksys .


i get to chapter 34 and everything freezes ! .


you can manage your profile , change the contrast of backlight , make different type of display , either list or tabbed .


also , for those that complain that the diaper champ isn 't as effective as time passes , keep the following in mind : as babies get older , their diets changes ( aka solid foods ! . ) and so does the smell of their diapers ! .


anyway , this player is a great deal and i really love it .


i was looking for something that wasn 't too complicated to use and to help the pics i post on ebay show more detail .


a bit disappoint on that ! .


it takes great pictures , operates quickly , and feels solid .


despite the things that i have listed so far , i could live with this item since it saves me from lugging a cd case to work , to the gym , in the car , etc . .


it also does n 't have voice activated dialing . big minus ! . ! .


one also exhibited extremely slow speed when going to the menu .


it fits comfortably in my shirt pocket and while very well-designed , doesn 't look to ostentatious while i 'm walking around with it .


the main problem with the nomad jukebox zen xtra 30 gb is the software .


this one has a color display , which i like a lot , being very visual .


software - the software is crap .


this is enough capacity and capability to do a complete household inventory , for example .


whether you 're taking a brisk jog , waiting for a bus or just having lunch at the park , you 'll be glad you had the fm radio .


i have used norton for the past 5 years and for the last 2 years , the software has gotten more and more disgraceful .


i have a canon a 70 , and now this sd500 , its amazing , how this little camera produces , such great pics , it even brings out ur pimples on the face .


its far heavier and much larger which might not seem to matter except if you use it while running or keep it in your pocket .


linksys quality and tech support have been outstanding .


what makes it so great is the versatility and the number of features it has .


i did n 't think i would find this quality and ease of use for under $ 1500 - i 'm thrilled with my purchase ! .


the unit seems to play all formats that i have put in it ( jpeg , kodak pic 's and dvd-r ) i have read other reviews and some good and so om not so good , but my feeling at this time is `` two thumbs up `` ! .


12 ) big storage - my entire cd collection in one small device ( 5717 songs , 491 albums and counting ) ! .


digital zoom is clear too . . . say you used all 3x optical zoom , try to do digital zoom then . . . just try not to shake the camera at all and you 'll still get a clear good quality picture


excellent phone , the phone looks much better than what u see in the pictures .


you 're going to need to buy new headphones , the stock ones suck


my only reservations about this product concern the tagging process and the way it interacts with the software .


the general button placement is not very user friendly .


i began taking pics as soon as i got this camera and am amazed at the quality of photos i have took simply by using the auto mode .


i bought this camera for the same reason many of you are considering it , or have already bought it -- it 's size .


the metal housing seems very rugged .


it was a very quick setup and installation , in fact the disc that it comes with pretty much makes sure you cant mess it up .


but canon never fails to amaze .


the entire unit was poorly crafted .


my first router is a safety hazard if you do not pay attention and are not very careful .


i have had several mp3 players over the past few years , and have to say that this by far is the best that i 've owned .


the disadvantages of this camera is it has been having some trouble with its autofocus on a few occasional pictures , especially quick candid shots where you start up and shot as quick as you can .


i first used the router in the free hand mode and liked it a lot .


i have not been disappointed with my purchase .


1 . record around 1 hour of video with phillips camcorder pro .


by cocking the shutter to the halfway position and getting the settings ready to shoot , i was able to produce excellent stop action photos -- contrary to what other reviewers experienced .


i no longer use it as a plunge router , only as a stationary or table mounted router .


it feels slow to focus , and unbearably slow to shoot .


the two-times optical zoom operates smoothly and quietly , and lo and behold , a two-piece shutter-like cap automatically slides closed over the lens when you turn the camera off .


) -can 't be left in the car . . . it immediately shuts down with an overheating error if left in a hot car for too long .


it worked from 12-26 to 1-9 at which time the picture failed completely ( see other negative reviews-my unit was n 't the only one this happened to . )


despite this minor disappointment , i highly recommend the canon g3 anyone who is serious about digital photography .


in a week of use i 've never had to reboot the router .


but overall this is a good camera with a ' really good ' picture clarity ; . an exceptional close-up shooting capability .


other than that , this is a perfect phone for those of us with no patience for flips .


i 've had to install and uninstall them four or five times so far , and i 've not to get either product working properly .


it was n 't as easy to fast forward or pause a song than it was with a regular walkman .


the screen is quite big ( between all hand phone ) , but the just about 65000 color .


i never get dropped calls .


10 ) multiple play modes - tracks in order of album , shuffle , etc . , is standard on all jukebox players but worth noting that the zen xtra is not deficient in this matter .


the startup time , quality of pictures and videos is outstanding .


the design and construction are excellent -- as is the legendary quality of the nikon optics .


the heavy motor and continuously variable speed control let this router churn through everything i threw at it .


the voice quality is very good , and it gets great reception ( that is , in places where you get t-mobile coverage , which is not that good ; . see below ) .


lots of flaws , but exceptional sound quality , hd size , and price make it a good buy .


the flash is very weak .


other than that pictures taken in the dark are not as nice as i 'd like them ,


sound quality was the same between the two , but the zen did have more sound adjustments with the normal eax features .


( i never know when the champ is full as there is no way too tell . even though not particularly aesthetic , how about making the champ clear and see-through ? . ) so , i lift the lid and find a wad of diaper , which i must remove , usually stuck inside the lid itself because the bag is too full .


8 . perhaps inspired by the canon 's factory white-correction settings ( which were found lacking and had to be altered by a user before the white edges from buildings etc could be cleaned out ) , the g3 has much sharper white offsets .


progressive scan player for a relatively low price ( although the better known manufacturers like toshiba , pioneer , and panasonic are now offering lower-priced progressive scan players as well ) .


my friend has an ipod , and although the sound quality probably won 't meet most audiophile standards , the product itself is better than anything creative has made .


but it ; . you won 't regret it .


3 ) it does not work automatically like a hard drive when you connect it to your computer , like some players


it was also the most appealing .


i would give it about 6 or 7 hours , although it will probably get better after a few charge cycles .


but this is * not documented * in the zen manual - neither the hard copy nor the cd version .


i 've since gotten the linksys modem ( befcmu10 ) and stacked it with the wrt54g router and it works fantastic ! . ! . ! .


i can go pretty far away from my router and still connect wirelessly .


actually using the nomad jukebox is easy and uncomplicated .


small size .


bottom line , this camera will give you a lot of bang for the buck ! .


i loved it until it broke , but less than a month is not an acceptable period of time for something to work .


in fact , it caused my system to hang more times than not , so i uninstalled it and stuck with mediasource 100 % .


i have found too many bugs in norton internet security professional to recommend it to any one without extreme patience and experience .


i 'm convinced by my own experience and that of many other people who have posted here who have had the same experience that the product is defectively designed , and will not hold up to normal use .


up , down , left , and right would have given me better control .


i have not played with all the features yet , but the camera is easy to use once you get used to it .


the catch with the canon g3 camera , ( and perhaps all of digital cameras ) is that its unresponsiveness will cause you to miss precious shots .


for the price , i am considering purchasing a spare just to have as a backup .


4 mp gives you room for the future gaining experience ; . cost offsets over time from wanting more in a camera , 3x optical and the fact that it carries nikon 's quality reputation behind it make the whole package prove itself worth wile at the price .


great camera , and for the price you can 't beat it .


it 's a great looking , easy-to-use device but it 's the sound quality which is truly amazing -- far better than my sony mini-disc player .


it is just a tad small to hold to your ear with your shoulder , but that is solved with the very comfortable handsfree ear-piece which is included .


it 's very sleek looking with a very good front panel button layout , and it has a great feature set .


i like my phones to be small so i can fit it in my pockets .


i was able to take great photos of the 4th of july fire works , and got some amazing shots of the kids playing with sparklers .


creative media source is very easy to use once you get the hang of it , and the file transfers are fast .


i got it working fast enough .


i thought it was kind of steeply priced at that time .


you could take a picture of a stone glinting in the sun and still avoid the shining glaze and get the contours right .


the latter will provide better coverage in more remote areas of the states but still operates in many countries , excluding new zealand and australia .


you must keep double checking depths .


my first impression was positive .


which is really nice because you can get pretty much any piece of music in midi format for free on the net .


but , if you 're looking for my opinion of the apex dvd player , i love it ! .


but i had to give you four because the service for my brand-new ipod was terribly slow .


the os is ab it confusing at 1st , but within a few days you will pass this learning curve ! .


i did n 't abuse it , i charged it every day , but the headphone jack just sort of fizzled out .


i still give the ipod five stars , though , as it could have been something i did incorrectly during the install ( though i did follow the onscreen prompts ) so i 'll give apple the benefit of the doubt .


these tasks are faster and easier than in prior versions , and i found the menu to be much more navigable .


weaknesses are minor : the feel and layout of the remote control are only so-so ; . it does n 't show the complete file names of mp3s with really long names ; . you must cycle through every zoom setting ( 2x , 3x , 4x , 1/2x , etc . ) before getting back to normal size [ sorry if i 'm just ignorant of a way to get back to 1x quickly ] .


it can not be the computer or the owner , since i purchased mcgee anti-virus 8 and it installs and works fine with no problems .


a ) the picture quality ( color and sharpness of focusing ) are so great , it completely eliminated my doubt about digital imaging -- - how could one eat rice one grain at a time : - ) )


battery life keeps improving on the ipod , and a new ipod will give you up to twelve hours of play time , per charge .


there is little meaningful difference between the two versions aside from the tedious activation process , and the product is currently rather buggy and has problems running unless cleanly installed on a formatted drive .


songs transfer lightning fast , and the two batteries that came in my box give me 24 hours of listen time .


all in all though i 'm very happy with my new mp3 player .


i did see the review here and other places about a cracked lcd screen .


i don 't know what 's happened to norton , but 2004 is absolute garbage .


software the software that comes along with it is not very intuitive but once you are used to it , it does the job well .


11 ) minimal pause between songs - less than that on other devices - good achievement for a hard-drive based player


i have a couple hundred contacts and the menu loads within a few seconds , no big deal .


diapers can get stuck when turned around if you don 't tightly wrap them first .


ease of use/design : the ipod is a very easy to use mp3 player , and if you can 't figure this out , you shouldn 't even own one .


the range is terrific , i am using this for my home and i was transferring at 50+mbs from my backyard .


poor visibility on the keys .


all in all , trying to save some money on this player resulted in me shelling a great deal more when i purchased a much nicer dvd vcr combo player to make up for blazing creepiness of this very embarassing gift .


this isn 't uncommon in cameras , though , just as long as you bring your charger and spare batteries , you should be fine .


using the software itunes is relatively simple , you just plug the usb cable in , wait your machine to detect the ipod and voila , any songs listed in your itunes library will be transfer ed on over to the ipod .


its really cool .


audio is mono and fairly acceptable , quiet also with little distortions .


give each friend a different ringtone .


other mp3 players won 't give you the sonic clarity of the zen at this compression level , so i imagine they won 't at lower ones , either .


we are overall pleased with product .


shortly after i brought it , the plunging shafts started sticking .


the buttons and interface are very easy to use .


the case is strong and stylish , but unfortunately lacks a window ( now a big deal ) .


but at least you re starting with the most photo realistic images ive ever seen from a camera .


got way too many blurry pictures .


the instruction manuals and documentation are excellent so that the learning curve will be much less steep .


the sound is incredible ; . very clean , very wide dynamic range of bass , midas and highs , and can be very loud if i turn it up full blast .


for instance , i made several back-ups of my dvd movies using dvd-r ( w ) and + r ( w ) and it plays the dvds .


their products have been great and have saved my bacon on numerous occasions .


the box proudly displays `` securest ( tm ) `` `` wireless made simple `` `` one touch setup button `` `` easy start `` `` easy security `` `` easy everyday `` apparently linksys/cisco knows that ease of setup is crucial .


m3u files are used by most mp3 players like musicmatch and winamp , but not creative - without notmad you need to manually recreate your playlists ) ; . it does n 't care what software you use to rip or catalog your music - creative or any other company - all my 12 . 5 gb of music were transferred to the zen with correct tags - hooray ! .


seems the `` program scan `` feature did not find the exe file for outlook ! .


i really dislike holding a phone to my ear , and i 've found the free speak to be very comfortable and easy to use with this phone .


i tried to make sense of the file transfer program and just got more confused .


these include : mp3 , wave , wma , wma pro , and wma loss less ; . it is very user-friendly simply by right-clicking the file ( s ) to be converted .


the software is somewhat nice to look at , using it is not the easiest .


well , i have an ipod mini - and i really like it , but all in all , i like the zen micro more .


my last simpler nokia started right up and was immediately ready for use .


plus , the fact that it used regular trash bags is great .


no line out jack - as i said , there is none .


it took me three days , to the tune of neil young 's song `` piece of cr -- ! . `` , to get this to work with the satellite hookup i was hired to connect this wireless network up to .


i tried to play the song three times , with no success .


the pictures are absolutely amazing - the camera captures the minutest of details .


also love waking up to music with attached speakers .


the tech support is worthless too .


it was impossible to change the speed with just my fingers .


i 'm currently using a sony vaio s-150 ( which i bought at the end of this past august ) , and it takes about five minutes just to boot the system - in fact , i 've taken to just hibernating , rather than shutting down completely .


i wash ours out with lysol each time i empty it , and that helps , but when its hot out- well , just be prepared .


i had no problems setting up the software and getting my favorite cd 's transferred .


but it is smooth , it is powerful , it is affordable & it has a proven track record .


well , this apex dvd player turned out great ! .


the picture is clear , bright and sharp and the sound is good .


apple has definately fulfilled its reputation in making quality equipment , and surprisingly wasn 't as expensive as its reputation normally holds .


i bought this diaper pail when my son was just a few days old and i absolutely love it ! .


i almost always get a good strong signal , even in fairly remote areas here in the southwest .


i thought given all the `` 10 `` reviews about this camera that i would buy it in spite of being a bit pricey .


so easy to set up , had some problems with my archos .


5 . the zen does not have a stop button ! .


i am very pleased with it so far .


so reliability is the winner here for the ipod .


try before you buy if at all possible : although i am a mac addict now for over a decade and everyone i know has previously bought an ipod , the nomad zen xtra was a far better value and is just as easy to use with regards to both hardware and software interface .


the included earpiece is very comfortable and easy to use .


i am very pleased with the apex ad2600 . it plays just about anything you put in the drawer .


basically the 6600 is a bundle of over-hyped features you don 't and won 't need ( if you do get yourself a pda or pocket pc ) , none of them work as they should , and the basic phone functions and ergonomics are less than average .


3/4 way through the first disk we played on it ( naturally on 31 days after purchase ) the dvd player froze .


canon have packed a lot in here and the options and controls are easy to use and logically laid out .


gets nice sound too .


sure , this thing is definitely more cost-effective than an ipod .


all at the same time , and all without a hitch .


the great and versatile ipod


the software sucks .


playlists can be generated on the fly ( which is a bit clunky but still a really nice bonus ) or by using the software , and there are a bevy of eq options .


also , some other mp3 players such as the nitrus allow you to play wma ( windows media audio ) files , whereas the ipod does not .


bluetooth does not work on this phone .


so , i was one who was ready to give it 5 stars with no complaints at all .


this is an excellent router for the price .


even with newborn diapers it filled way too fast .


this is really a no brain er .
