    Great product
    Works great, easy to carry, charges my iPod quickly. Really worth it if you want to charge and don’t have a laptop around. Carry it with you and charge while sitting at your desk, waiting in the hall or anywhere there is an outlet. Recommended.

    Great product!
    I was looking for a replacement for a worn out power adapter. I chose the right one and it works great. It arrived quickly, which was important because I had to use my computer to charge my iPod which is a hassle to connect and disconnect. It is much easier to charge my iPod now and I can take it to work if I need to!

    A Great Time Saver
    A great time saver. Re-charges my ipod in very little time. Would reccommend to all.

    Great product
    I have had my Power Block for about a year, and it has worked fine. It’s a real help when I’m away from my computer and the battery on my 30 gig iPod starts to run down. I also can listen to my iPod while it’s plugged in. The quality and workmanship is fine. This is one of the most useful accessories I have.

    Excellent
    This is a must have item if you own an ipod. It’s great for home and traveling.

    LOVE IT!!
    I bought this keyboard about a year and a half ago for the office, let me tell you I feel in love with this thing. I had to buy one for home too. I love all of the extra buttons so you can skip right to your favortie web pages, documents and everything. I have only had to change my batteries once in each. Highly reccomend.

    Great wireless — and for a Mac!
    Had some issues finding wireless keyboards for Macs. We tried using Microsoft’s PC version, but couldn’t get the shortcut keys to work. This new, Mac version works great. No problems at all.

    Sluggish Mouse on Mac
    I have the receiver set up on a kvm switch for a PC and a Mac. The combo works great on the PC but the mouse is very sluggish on the Mac. I also get nfrequest “low wireless signal” message on the Mac (not on PC). All in all, too much of a hassle and I will be returning it.

    A full featured keyboard and mouse, but a little quirky
    I am pretty happy with this wireless keyboard and mouse combination. The curved keyboard is comfortable. There plenty of dedicated keys. I am especially happy that it is a Mac specific, meaning you don’t need a sharpie to reassign ALT to CMD. The mouse tracks well, except on some surfaces, like marble - maybe not opaque enough?

    Here are my two complaints about it:

    1) On a Mac you need to sometimes hold down a key combination during startup. I had to read someone else’s review to learn that this is, indeed, possible. But, you have to do it just right. You have to watch the light on the little USB dongle and, when that light blinks right after your screen turns grey, you have to then press the key combination you want. The window of time is only about a second or two long. If you are zapping your PRAM and need to hold down CMD-OPT-P-R, then you might need to practice or try a couple times. Also, this is in contradiction with Apple’s instructions to press the buttons BEFORE the screen turns grey.

    2) Placement of the USB dongle - that receives the RF signals from the keyboard and mouse, is a bit touchy. I have mine sitting directly behind my keyboard - practically touching - yet I still get this annoying message that says my RF signal is weak. I stopped the message, but still it misses some key clicks. It was worse on top of the desk. I am still messing with this after many months of use.

    Battery life seems to be quite good - don’t think I have changed them yet. Setup is straight forward and most defaults work fine for me. I had a lot of trouble with Logitech keyboards, so this is a big improvement.

    It works….. but
    This is a flat keyboard with the keys angled so that the wrists are not bent at odd angles to the body. (I wanted the split keyboard with the arch to allow the hands to fall naturally, but that model is not ‘keyed’ for Mac.)

    This is a compromise and the improvement in comfort is slight compared to the Mac’s keyboard.

    Most of the ‘Mac specific’ buttons actually do what they are supposed to. Exceptions: Zoom only magnifies text and only in some programs, where the Mac’s zoom magnifies the entire screen, I miss that feature. (Mac’s zoom is availed by pressing a combo of three keys, that combo does not achieve the zoom on this keyboard) I was not able to get the ‘expose’ button to work on this mouse, and even if it did, it is in an uncomfortable position. Other than that, the mouse is comfortably arranged.

    The issues with signal strength that others are having are present in this keyboard and mouse. The most annoying part is the frequent window telling me the signal strength is low….etc, etc. From day one, I have never had more than two bars out of five worth of signal strength, regardless of how close the keyboard/mouse is. Even though the signal strength indicates ‘low’, the keyboard and mouse function fairly well.

    The convenience of wireless is outweighed by the signal issues and lack of USB ports. Next time I spill the coffee on the keyboard, I will get a wired one and probably stick with Apple’s. Which reminds me, the software has to be installed before the keyboard is connected, and you need a keyboard to do that…. usually. Apple Care helped me around that.

    Pros:

    Keys arranged in a curve.

    Padded palm rest

    Extra keys to program in favorites

    No wires

    Cons:

    Signal strength issues

    Pop-up warning about signal strength

    Inadequate zoom tool

    One mouse button 99% useless for me

    Silver colored plastic

    No wires (it is a pro and a con)

    Saved a bundle!
    compared to a local retail dealer and chose to purchase this one….saved a significant amount! Quality is same as what is offered at authorized retailer here.

    Alright
    Well, the battery is a Samsung battery. I was a little disappointed that it was not in fact new. It had scratches on the little metal connectors, suggesting it had been used before, and the outside casing had a tear in the plastic coating the battery. I think if it is a refurbished one, they should say so in the add. I am merely hoping that if anything should happen, Samsung will stand behind it.

    As far as the battery, it works similar to the old Samsung battery: not great, not bad. I don’t get a consistently lasting charge out of it. Even when it sits, not being used, I charge it almost every day. :-/ Is it too much to ask for a battery that lasts three days or more and doesn’t go dead right when I really do need it?

    Good service
    The battery was the correct model for my cell phone and worked fine.

    Amazon delivery was quick.

    I JUST GOT MY CASE IN THE MAIL A COUPLE DAYS AGO AND I LOVE IT. I LOVE THE GREEN COLOR. JUST THE CLIP IS BIG AND BULKY LIKE. OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS WELL WORTH MY 38-42 DOLLARS.

    Super nice product
    Im not into the green color but the magnetic latch versus snap is a nice touch and overall a very nice built product worth the few extra $$$ over the other cheap one’s i have bought

    Great value for a very reliable product!
    I’ve used PNY memory modules in both Mac and PC’s for many years. I have never had one fail. I’ve also used other higher priced memory modules and have not experienced any performance difference. PNY continues to be my first choice.

    Memory 50% good, service 100% good
    The memory arrived from PC Universe in a timely manner. I’ve installed RAM before, so it’s no mystery. Took all precautions. 1GB of the 2GB I received was bad. E-mailed PC Universe and they were quick to respond (via e-mail) and quick to offer an exchange. I returned the bad RAM per their instructions. After a few weeks of hearing nothing, I again e-mailed them. Again, quick response. The RAM was on back ordered. They then issued a credit to my account. Very easy to deal with.

    Excellent RAM
    I bought this with my new iMac G5 20″. It has made the computer very quick, I dont have to wait for programs to open and even editing my home movies is very quick. I have read many things online about sub-par RAM causing “kernel panics” where OS X crashes, but I havent had any since I installed it more than 2 months ago. A great upgrade!

    Buy the CD’s and not the cards
    I bought the Micro SD cards because I thought it would be better so that all the maps are on the card and can just plug it into my GPS. However, if you want to download specific routes or biking routes which I have done, you have to also purchase Way Point Trip Manager in order to transfer the information. If you purchase the CD you can transfer the information with Map Source which is included with the GPS. Had I known that I would have had to purchase extra software to be able to transfer the information, I would have bought the CD’s.

    A Horrible Purchase
    I didn’t receive the item pictured. The part I did receive actually makes my 3rd gen. ipod play music garbled after around 30 seconds of playback. The product is junk (whichever product it is that I DID receive), and the company untrustworthy. Don’t waste your time or money with either.

    Works Great
    Item does what it is supposed to do. No problem keeping the ipod plugged in while driving and listening.

    not fair…………..
    i was gonna buy 50 of this chargers!its not fair that they charge me 100$ for delivery!maybe they should consider for some discount opn the delivery for someone who is ordering 50 chargers…..not fair at all!

    Very NICE for the PRICE
    “Very good item although a little cheap like it at least works and I recieved it on time.”

    Works for iPod Nano and iPhone
    It’s cheap, looks cheap, feels cheap, but seems to work just fine. Shipping seemed to take a little while. That’s my only problem with it.

    Great Little Camcorder!
    When I had first seen this item I thought it was too good to be true. A great price high definition camcorder for under $100.00, I thought that it might be fun to have for occassional use but I found myself using far more than I ever thought I would. It is easy to use and once you have the camera set-up, you are ready for great videos and lots of fun.
