SIRIUS SCC1 Connect Universal Tuner

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


Basically this product is what it is. It does what says it does, of course you still need to purchase your adapter for your particular stereo brand, but other than that, it works. The only gripe that I had with the product was that the antenna was poor. From the start it had an issue acquiring a signal. It would constantly cut-off, and that was SO annoying when you are trying to listen to a broadcast. Luckily I had the old antenna from my portable unit and I used it instead. It was night and day, and I can now get great signal always. The antenna that works great with this device is the Sirius Radio Dot Micro Car Antenna.

Samsung UN40B7000 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


I bought this TV for 16 from Amazon.
Here my story:

1)Only 4 days after placed the order I got the TV.

2)CEVA company (delivery): will not install the stand unless you give them tip. I gave them . (three stars)

3)After connect to the digital cable box, the screen had purple and green waves go horizontaly and buzzing sound. So I went to buy a Monster HDMI cable, it costs me .I went home and found out my cable box didn't have HDMI slot. Made a trip to the cable store and exchange the newer box. The picture is perfect now, but the closed caption is not available for any movie and channel.(Enlish is my sencond language,I need caption for the English accent movie)

I'm going to return the Monster cable and buy the cheaper one from Amazon.

4)Internet@TV was easy to set up but not working until I get the Linkstick wireless LAN or Blueray DVD

5)Installed my Samsung DVD with White, Red, Yellow cables: got black and white picture. So my next step is buy the new Samsung Blueray DVD.

At last, I like this TV but I spent too much time and money on it. If you don't need the internetTV, buy the regular LCD TV.

Imax Power IMP500 3G 3Gs iPhone & 2nd Generation iTouch External Backup Battery

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


New Trent Super-pack IMP500 5000mAh External Battery pack for 3G iPad, iPhone 4 4G, iPhone 3G 3GS, iPod Touch (1G 2G 3G), Motorola Droid , HTC Android Phones, Blackberry (curve, bold, tour, storm) Brand new


We live outside the US and fly long distances 4 times a year (up to 24hours of travel time). It is often impossible to find the time to re-charge my two sons i-pod touches while we are traveling. They usually run out the battery within the first three hours of travel due to all the apps and movies they watch. This battery has proven to be worth the cost. It really does hold up to 5 recharges of our i-pods which is needed on our long flights. They can also continue to use their i-pods while plugged into this external battery. If you frequently run out of battery on your i-pods, this battery is a fantastic addition.

Long Lasting
This battery pack will charge your iphone several times. It is compact and easy to carry in your briefcase. It doesn't plug directly into the iphone so you will need to also carry a charging cord. The unit is very solid and I would recommend it.


Excellent battery
This battery is fantastic. Bought two, one as a gift for a friend. Have mine for 6 months and I love it. It's a real helper when u do a day trip and run out of power. On a single charge and charge the phone several times.


My favorite Iphone 3G portable charger!
I bought this a little over a month ago, and it worked GREAT up until about a week ago. It stopped charging, so I called customer service and the lady was very friendly and sent me a new one automatically as well as a second cable so that I don't have to take my otterbox off to charge my Iphone. GREAT customer service, I didn't even wait an entire minute to get in touch with someone. Would buy one again!


Best of the backups
Excellent product. I recently bought this for a cross country trip with my 2 year old daughter. I needed something for the plane that could keep my iPhone alive for 14 plus hours of video. The IMP500 delivered in a big way. Easy to connect, easy to see how much power was left. Added a whole lot of life to my iPhone. Made both travelling adventures less stressful, because I knew my iPhone was not going to die on us.

As a bonus, the ability to charge my wife's Razor phone and my Nook Book came in handy as well. Great product.

Garmin Suction Cup Mount (010-10747-00)

This served as a replacement window for my Garmin Nuvi 350. The suction mount is a Garmin product and not a spin off product. I was going to order directly from Garmin but had a brain storm to check with Amazon. I am glad I did. It was half the price than Garmin. It works great and glad I have Amazon!

Got it for a gift & seems to be a hit!! She uses it every week!!
We purchased this as a gift for our Aunts net book & she loves it! It was true to size, she loves the front pocket she keeps her mouse in there & the full handle is a great feature because she travels out of her house with it weekly!!


Kroo Sleeve After 3 Months
I've had this kroo glove sleeve for about 3 months and it is time to replace it. I have used this for my 10.1 Asus Eee Pc 1005He every day.
The main problem is the plastic in the handle has begun to poke through the fabric and now scratches my hands and arms constantly. The zippers have held up well, but the plastic coating around the metal of the zipper handles have begun to fall off, which isn't much of a problem for me. The stitching is still in great condition, no loose threads. The Velcro holding the handles together has worn down minimally.
The computer fit perfectly inside, I would not recommend this for a person with a netbook of 10.2" or greater. The pocket in the front is able to hold the 2 piece power cable and a medium sized mouse with a lot of bulge, and although it has protected my computer and accessories from scratches, I don't think it would absorb much from a bump or shock. I would recommend that the next model have a bigger handle, because it is pretty small, and is an annoyance to me.
Overall, for the price and quality it is a pretty good product, but not a lasting one, nor one that will give the best protection or have a lot of extra space.


GOOD LITTLE SLEEVE, HOWEVER.....
I FOUND THE KROO GLOVE SLEEVE TO BE VERY ATTRACTIVE, AND WELL MADE, HOWEVER,
IF YOU ADD ANY ACCESSORIES, IT REALLY IS A TIGHT FIT. I HAVE AN ACER NETBOOK (10,2"
) AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT ANYTHING ELSE IN THE SLEEVE.


Great quality for the low price
Nicely padded, like the handle and it fits my power cord easily. I might buy some of the other colors offered to use for travel

Mobile Edge Mini Messenger Bag Black/Silver great for Netbooks

Mobile Edge Mini Messenger Bag Black/Silver


One thing I hate to do is purchase something like a bag before I get a good look at it. I like to see the size and build quality to see if the bag is worth getting. I was going on a trip, wanted to take my iPad, so I bought this bag sight unseen. This bag is spectacular.

- Build quality is second to none. This feels like a very high quality bag, padding is perfect for an iPad, or any netbook.

- There is plenty of space in this bag for everything. Plenty of space for your cameras, cell phones, iPods or MP3 players, and since I took it on a trip, space for my gps, charger, and mount. It also has a space for a drink bottle if you need it. This bag is so versatile, its really amazing.

- The size is perfect. The size is really perfect for airplane travel (just the right size to easily get the device that you are towing from under the cramped airplane space), or just traveling around town.

- The price is right. For the price they are selling this bag, I would not hesitate to recommend it. With all the pros mentioned above its really perfect.

All in all, I have to say, if you are in the need for a bag for a netbook, ereader, iPad, any kind of device like that, this is the bag to get. Perfect for everyday use, and for travel. Really an amazing bag, well worth the purchase.

Quality bag with few minuses
I have always been one to place my perfectly good computer in a cheap department store off-brand bag. This bag was given to me as a Father's Day present by my kids who were tired (embarrassed) by my ripped old bag. This bag is sturdy, made with thick material and heavy stitching. There are ample pockets and sections. My netbook and my Kindle both fit easily and are protected. The one thing I wish Mobile would have paid more attention to when making this bag is the strap. The strap doesn't match the quality of the rest of the bag. Otherwise, it is great, and I'm sure I will use it for a very long time.


Awesome bag
This bag is genuinely awesome, it's comfortable to carry, exactly the right size for my 10.1" netbook and has extra room for carrying other odds and ends such as my DS and all my charger cables. The quality of the bag is really wonderful for the price I paid (34$) and feels very sturdy. I would definitely recommend this bag to others.


Good small notebook bag
Small and efficient. Don't like the flap over the outside pockets--prefer a simple zipper. Amazing how going small (Sony 13.1" Z series notebook) helps travel.


A little large for a netbook
I bought this bag to carry my netbook and a few accessories. It is well padded and I was actually able to carry my netbook, headphones, car charger, wall charger, a 24-dvd case and a book all without making it even look full. So, for travel it worked great. I would, however, hesitate to buy this if you were looking for something sleek to just carry your netbook in. I'm sure there's better alternatives out there...

Kroo Cube Case with Pocket for Netbook up to 10-Inch (Pink)

Kroo Cube Case with Pocket for Netbook up to 10-Inch (Pink)


There are three things I liked about the kroo cube case. First the color reminds me of pink cotton candy and this is a good thing. It is well made with tight seams, sturdy fabric, and a strong zipper. My Acer fits inside to perfection. Last the side pocket holds the cord as snug as a bug in a rug. I would recommend this item to anyone with an Acer because it is made for it.

cute
got this for my acer mini, great purchase, cute and protective. everyone who has a mini wants one like it.


it's adorable
perfect case for my netbook, I love that there is a pocket for the cord. the outside is just hard enough to provide protection and it's very cute


It's perfect
This little bag is perfect for my Dell mini. Has plenty of room for the charger, and flash drives, even a mini mouse if you wanted. I would recommend this to anyone.
Shipping was lightning fast.


It works for right now.
I bought this for my 9yr old daughters new netbook she got for Christmas and it's nice. The only problem I have with it is because it's such a light pink, dirt shows up very easily. From the picture I thought it was a different material that could be wiped off easily but it's not. Will have to eventually get her a different one since this one is dirty already.

Mobile Edge Ultraportable Briefcase for 8.9-Inch to 13-Inch Netbook Computers (Black)

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


Mobile Edge ScanFast Netbook Briefcase for 8.9-Inch to 13-Inch Netbook Computers (Black)


I just bought an ACER ASPIRE TIMELINE 11.6" notebook needed a nice bag to carry it in and ran across this Mobile Edge, was a bit hesitante because the 8.9-13-inch thinking it might be to small. I also always put my notebooks in a neoprene sleeve for extra protection so would need a bit more room. I just got the case a few hours ago and my ACER in the sleeve fits perfect as the partition for the notebook/netbook is also adjustable. The bag seems very well made, very impressed it came with the very nice handles to carry it and also the strap is very well padded and removeable. Has plenty of room to carry my portable DVD/CD player, pens, books, magazines, notebooks, the power cord and an extra battery and still has room for more without over stuffing. Still leaving the second partition barely with anything in it, the front zip drop down storage is about half full and the front pocket has nothing in it yet except the paper that came stuffed in it I haven't removed yet. This case is Awesome, very well made, will handle any netbook and it says 13-inch I have a 13.3 HP that I could fit if I really wanted too, but is perfect with the 11.6-inch inside a neoprene sleeve. The make seems very good, handles are a big plus and not cheesey but very comfortable non-slip rubber ones, great shoulder strap and very well padded with metal clips to remove it if you want too, lifetime warrenty and looks great! Plus I found when searching the pockets 2 Micro Center 4GB Flash drives and a 16GB Corsair Flash Voyager Drive as hidden extra bonuses. The 16GB Corsair Flash Voyager Drive cost almost double what the case cost not adding in the other 2-4GB's also included. Plus I had a .00 Promotional Certificate so total cost was only .92 including everything...Great Deal!..Great Bag! Thanks Amazon!!!

    Good Bag!
    I am happy with this bag. It has enough room for the Netbook, charger, mouse, and other items as well as slots for your pens and pencils. The bag is also large enough to carry a book or two without being a concern for the safety of the Netbook. Although I am happy with the bag, you can probably find bags of similar quality and size at stores such as Walmart and Target for - cheaper.


    Decent Bag
    I would have given this item 5 stars, but it lacks an outside pocket for placement od the laptops power supply. Having to place a power supply inside the main pocket sujects the laptop to possible damage by impact.


    Netbook Case
    I couldn't be happier with this case, I have an Asus EEE 12.9" laptop and it fits great, looks great and very useful. Has a nice pocket in the front for my Nano cordless mouse and the main part has seperate dividers for netbook and documents, manuals, etc... Thanks Amazon

    I bought this for my pre-teen daughter for Christmas. It installed easily on an old Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz system, and she loves it. Her friends love it too, and they're jealous because theirs (different brands) don't work as well, so I guess it's good! She loves modifying her images with the software, so that seems to work well too.

    Stopped working in under a year
    I really felt that this was a good deal, and it was, until it quit working within a year. There is a 3 year warranty. I'll have to find out about how to get it replaced. In the meantime, however, I have no webcam. It's not a software issue -- it's hardware. Windows no longer recognizes it at all when I plug it in on any machine. I wonder if the cleaning lady knocked it off of the monitor, or if it just died on its own? I'll never know, but if she did, it only could have dropped less than a foot. Until it quit, I was very satisfied with the image quality, and extremely impressed by the audio. We'll see what happens with warranty service. The software quality has been improved, as long as you download the updated software from the Microsoft website. You don't even need it, though.


    Good internet camera
    This is a good inexpensive aftermarket addition to my desktop that I have had for a few years. Use it for skyping, very satisfied. If only it would make me look 30 years younger!


    Does the job
    We got this webcam so we could communicate with our family (who lives across the state) with video once our child was born, so that my parents could see their grandson as he grows. I have used it to Skype with my family and several friends around the country and world, and it works just fine. The picture is a little choppy, with a slight delay between the sound and the image (ie, I will say something while moving my hands in a certain way, and my motions will show up a second later on the screen than when I make them, so the sound and image don't match up). It's not really good for creating videos/movies because of this. If you do video capture, it will be annoying to watch because of your mouth and motions not matching up with your words (like a dubbed foreign film :-) ). But, this is an inexpensive webcam, and you get what you pay for. If you want it for Skype or just basic video calling, it should work nicely.

    The microphone quality is great.

    When I installed it, my computer still couldn't recognize the hardware, so after some Googling, I figured out how to maneuver some stuff in the control panel to get my computer to recognize it. Had to uninstall and reinstall a couple of times. Not sure if it was an issue with my computer or the installation software for the webcam.


    Easiest webcam I've ever used!
    Easy, easy, easy. Just plugged it in on Windows 7, and everything was taken care of. Within two minutes, it was up and running all on its own. Quality is very good, and I've had no issues at all using it with Skype.
