Good player
Easy to operate with one hand, great sound and long battery life. The interface is very easy to understand and move around in. The controls are well placed, intuitive and responsive. I mainly use this connected to the stereo in my car. Other players were too difficult to operate while driving, but this one is very easy.

Excellent sound
I can’t believe how great how great the sound reproduction sounds compared to an I-pod. No distortion and I hear instruments in the background that before were lost in “mush”. Getting songs transfered from I-Tunes works great if you use the drag and drop method. Not so good using Windows Media Player or Sony media center software.

The only downsides I could find were that it doesn’t play protected songs purchased from I-Tunes and the small display can be difficult for older people to read.

groove around
This excellent device let you go around with your favorite music and videos plus the FM radio. very compact and easy to use

Great product!
I’ve had an Ipod, that died, seems they do that a lot. Anyway, I am really impressed by this Walkman. I synced, or uploaded, all my music, pictures and even some video from my laptop in less the 30 minutes. Not only that, but it also has the FM radio. So if I tire of my 658 favorite songs, I can listen to FM. As advertised, the battery provides 30+ hours of service before recharge. I bought the Comcast to use in my car over the radio, but it also works well in home. For such a small package, this really delivers!

Tiny but Easy
The screen is tiny. Watching video would be a challenge but we love the “drag and drop” thumb-drive-style operation of it. No iTunes, no synching. It’s great.

Navigon GPS Lifetime Traffic Card
I purchased a new Navigon lifetime traffic card on sale on amazon.com for only $58 dollars (normal price is $99). I use it with the basic Navigon GPS which I will say does a great job. I’ve only had the product for a month or so and already I’ve avoided a few jams on the NJ Turnpike by following the traffic warning and taking an alternate spur of the Turnpike. Also when I was about to jump on Rt 46 going towards NYC, it directed me to take local roads towards the GWB, which I wouldn’t have gone otherwise. So far so good.

Look, if you already have a Navigon GPS which I recommend (even the basic model which I have, purchased from Staples on sale for only #119), or are considering purchasing one, it’s a no brainer for a one time fee of $99 dollars…versus having a monthly bill for a subscription with another carrier which most likely uses the same technology. All of the tecnhology for now is pretty much the same apart from one new concept that I saw on Nightline that to my understanding uses live streaming of satelite images to determine and project volume of traffic flow, and thus predict tie-ups.

The traffic updates are consistent also with contruction updates, which in the NY/NJ Metro area can really slow you down even in non-peak hours. Frankly, I should have purchased the used card in retrospect for $10 less. It doesn’t really matter if you get it new or used, because it’s only a code on the card that you intitally enter one time into your GPS.

Bottom line, it’s a lot of bang for the buck all things considered with technology, price, and productivity. Navigon is the only GPS that I know of where the traffic fee is a one time lifetime deal. Most if not all the other GPS brands have a monthly or annual fee. Also it doesn’t matter which of the tree Navigon GPS devices you have, the traffic card works with all of them. It’s a great addition to your Navigon GPS. Buy it!

An excellent traffic monitoring chip for the Navigon GPS series
A useful addition to the Navigon GPS line of products.

This chip contains a key code, which once registered with the Navigon website, allows you to receive continuous traffic updates with your Navigon GPS units (including the 2100, 2120, 5100 and 7100 series).

Having had a chance to assess this Traffic Service on a trip south and back, I’ll comment on a few things I liked and didn’t like…

The good:

1.)Once you’ve purchased this chip, the traffic service is a lifetime feature; no further monthly or yearly subscription fees or purchase updates required, ever!

2.)The traffic information is monitored continuously around most major highways and cities.

3.)You can set your unit up to give traffic info just on the route your on, or you can get info within a radius of where you are at the moment.

4.)If a traffic problem does occur ahead of you the unit will tell you several things;

a.]it gives you the distance to the ‘obstruction’, giving you time to make detour planning.

b.]the unit (on your GPS map) tells you which you which side the the ‘obstruction’ is on (e.i. your side of the highway or the other); this is actually a very useful feature.

c.]the unit can automatically (if you set it up to do so) make a route around the ‘obstruction’ ahead.

A couple concerns:

1.)The charger cord from the cigarette lighter acts as an antenna for the traffic program. So if you don’t have your unit plugged in (and you are running on unit battery only), you may not get good traffic info service.

2.)There is little or no information on side roads, byways or small towns/cities. There were even a couple of sections of more ‘remote’ Interstate Highways that had no coverage.

3.)There may be some delay in getting information to your unit (obviously a accident or delay must be reported before it can be relayed to your unit). However once it reaches your unit, I found that there was ample time and distance to try to detour around what ever was causing the problem.

Conclusion:

The traffic monitoring chip offers a great benefit by providing useful information to those traveling on the major highways and larger centers; it is, however, less useful in a more ‘rural’ or smaller settings. You should use your cigarette charger cord for reliable traffic reports, as the cord acts as an antenna for this service. 4 1/2 to 5 Stars

Car charger needed for it to work
I did not see it mentioned on the Navigon website or in the quick start manual or even the comments left here, but… I had to call Navigon customer service to find out that the car charger MUST be plugged into the unit for the traffic monitering to work - the cord acts like an antenna to pull in the traffic signal. No cord, no signal. It’s not a big deal if you have the unit mounted low on the dash - then give this another 3-4 stars. But if you have it mounted high on the windshield, you’re stuck with a black cord hanging down in your field of vision - not good.

Love Real Time Traffic
Real Time Traffic has helped me a number of times, re-routing me in a way that I thought might be crazy but worked out beautifully. Amazon has the best price on it. I got it on sale for less than the typical $99, and it’s a lifetime subscription!

Great!
Works in Greenville, SC even though when I purchased my GPS unit at Radio Shack, I was told it wouldn’t work in Greenville. I decided to purchase it online after a few weeks and what do you know, it worked.

Terrible interference with security 2.4MHZ video system
WORKS VERY WELL AS TELEPHONE BUT MAKES VERY STRONG INTERFERENC WITH 2.4MHZ SECURITY VIDEO SYSTEM IN ALL 4 CHANNELS. HAD TO MAKE CHOICE AND GOT RID OF TELEPHONE.

IF YOU DONT HAVE VIDEO SYSTEM ITS OK. IF YOU HAVE 2.4MHZ VIDEO, DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Bought 2 in December and liked the phone so much, just bought another
Excellent 2-line cordless phone. I bought two about a month ago mainly because of various reviews. So far I’m very satisfied with the phones. I bought another to replace my AT&T AT 1412 (2-line) cordless that I’m happy to retire, it’s a lousy cordless. The Panasonic is easy to program and the sound is very good, specially when using the speaker phone. The speaker phone audio is SUPER. The other party doesn’t know when I’m using the speaker phone. One can be 10 feet from the cordless and the other party can still clearly make out what your saying. Most cordless phones come with a belt clip as does the Panasonic, but it also comes with a Shoulder Rest attachment. I’ll probably never use the shoulder rest because the speaker phone audio is that good, never the less most others do not include this option. It’s desk or wall mountable. I’m going to knock on wood when I say that I have owned a number of Panasonic products over the years and never have had one fail me. My only complaint with Panasonic is with their TH37PX60U 37″ Plasma TV. The TV is great but I detest the remote. They swapped the position of the Channel and Volume buttons putting the Channel button on the LEFT. I have never seen a remote with the Channel on the LEFT and I go nuts when I move from room to room to view different TV’s. It’s just DUMB, 180 degrees out of phase with the rest of the world.

2-Line Panasonic cordless phone
I was specifically looking for a 2-line cordless phone that would hang on the wall. It was a challenge to find this. The Panasonic phone fit the bill and works great. If I had one complaint, it would be that there is only one voice mail message indicator on the phone. This means you have to pick up the phone and listen to the dial tone of each line to find out which line has the voice mail message. This, however, would not make me send the phone back or not purchase it again. I would definitely purchase this phone again.

Nice Phone
Panasonic KX-TG2480S 2.4 GHz 2.4GHz FHSS GigaRange Digital Cordless TelephoneI purchased this telephone because I needed a 2-line telephone for the wall in my kitchen that was compatible with the other Panasonic cordless phones in the rest of my home. Right out of the box, this phone did all I expected of it. It looks nice on the wall and works great. It has a 50 number regular memory and a 50 number caller-ID memory. A nice feature is once you set up the 50 number memory with name and number, and a call comes in, the name you have assigned to that number is what shows in the caller-ID window. This is usefull for the cell phone calls you receive which normally don’t show the caller’s name. I really like this phone and would definitely recommend it.

Better than most
Since there seems to be no thoroughly developed cordless phones available, the Panasonic is sort of like picking a presidential candidate: the lesser of the bad. It seems to be made better than most without the typical creaky plastic housing and the sound quality is fine. It also gives plenty of warning for low battery. For some reason, the dialing from memory is like it’s second language. Slow and labored. I wish it had a simple way to turn the ringers on and off, not through a sometimes awkward menu gauntlet. And who knows why Panasonic doesn’t offer a remote charger base. But credit where credit’s due, I’ve had it for almost a year now with nary a problem.

Unbelieveable
The Product is great! I just never got what I ordered. After 3 tries I finally gave up.

Stick with Canon Inks
I currently have a Canon i960, but I’ve learned over the years never substitute generic inks no matter what the advertisement says. Only Canon inks give me the quality I want and don’t ruin the printer. I do a lot of color prints to use as references in my art work, and contrary to what others may say, the inks last a long time and are well worth the expense for me.

Best for Canon printers
This ink works great with Canon printer. Unfortunately this is the ONLY ink that works great with a canon printer. Any other ink I tried produce terrible result. So, basically if you own Canon printer you stuck with this ink, which can be a little less expensive. I gave 4 stars because the price is a bit high.

Canon Inks
Genuine ink for the Pro Canon photo printers. Results are outstanding with photos you swear came from a pro lab.

Canon Ink
I agree with the other reviews…you MUST use Canon ink with the i9900 printer. Twice I tried to use other ink and had to replace my print head both times…not worth it!

Customer Reviews:
shipping charge
The amount charged for shipping such a small item that fit easily in a standard envelop was excessive. Watch out for companies like this that use profits from S&H charges to make up for low product prices. The total cost probably would have been lower at a bricks & mortar retail store.

M2 GB XD
This product is excellent. I own a Fuji FinePix A500 digital camera. Installation took less than a minute. So far so good. I was very pleased with M2 GB XD-Picture Card overall. In the unlikely event that I do run into any problems with it, I will be sure and post another review. Seller was excellent too.

Adorama Camera exceeds expectations
Adorama camera exceeds expectations…prompt confirmation, prompt shipping, prompt arrival of 2 GB camera flash card in great condition.

Great Price
Great price. This would have cost me double to walk into a store to buy.

Good Card
This is a good memory stick and it holds a lot of pictures. It’s very fast too. Also, it was the card that fit my new camera so I really didn’t have many choices. The price was good so it was the logical choice. Fugi is a reputable company so you really can’t go wrong. Also, it’s worth getting a 2GB card so you can store hundreds or even thousands of photos on your digital camera without erasing them. Also, this card is good for a long trip so you can take lots of pictures without changing your memory card.

Good Choice
It works very well. In the specification, it doesn’t show it has a RF connector. It does have one. It can receive analog and digital channels from cable without any settop box. The vivid mode is too bright like others said, but you have the custom mode to set your settings. I though that 46″ would be better. When I got the 40″ set, I realized that it is right size for my room, watching from 8 to 10 ft away. Otherwise you have to turn your head around to get the full view. I tried the PC DB-15 connector and two HDMI connectors with my Dell Vista laptop. The 1920×1080 resolution works very stably. My last 27″ Sony CRT failed after 10 years hard working. I hope this one can perform as well. I recommend this Sony TV.

Aaaaaaa!!
Gorgeous picture. Only 20 pounds! Easy to set up… actually would take more brainpower to mess up the set up.

Works great !
I purchased this TV just over a month ago. I have not had any issues at all with the TV. It has great picture and sound. I expected a lot since the TV is from Sony and they did not let me down at all. I am very happy and I would recommend this TV to my friends.

Sony Bravia 40″ Review
Great TV, I held out for a flat screen long enough. I could’ve still held out but my wife put the screws to me. Nice picture for $1,299 all-in cost. Best Buy and Tweeter weren’t even close. If you can wait 3-5 business days, you’d be a fool not to buy from Amazon.

Sony Bravia 40″
The Sony Bravia is sleek, great looking a good buy on Amazon.com The picture is very good and after realizing I had to switch to a different Cable box to get the digital TV picture it is even better. With the Sony name behind it. It is sure to be a dependable set. Love it so far!!!!

Good rechargeables
I use them in a blood pressure unit and they are working with no problems. The Sony recharger works fast. It works better than trying to use the power cord.

Dependable batteries
Like other people I know, I had been using the wrong batteries in my digital camera and getting aggravated because they didn’t work well. When I looked up the information in the camera manual, I learned the error of my ways.

Long lasting batteries
With the name Sony you can’t go wrong. These rechargable batteries last a long time between charges. Saves money in the long run.

Great product
As expected from Sony, this product is premium quality. You can always trust Sony products. The batteries work perfectly with my Sony Cybershot Camera and the charge lasts a fair amount of time. I recommend buying the whole thing with charger and all. For only a few more dollars you get the whole thing.

I Get a Good Charge
These Sony Nimh rechargeables work grest on my Sony digital camera. They keep a good long lasting charge.
