Pioneer Avh-P3100Dvd 5.8-Inch In-Dash Touchscreen Double-Din Dvd Multimedia A/V Receiver

Sunday, February 28th, 2010


If you are looking for a touch screen DVD player with great sound and looks with out shedding tons of bucks, then this is the player you should buy..

I'm using this from past 4months in my car. Its wooing everyone on first glance!!
I plugged in this with my JBL 6" Component speakers, 12" woofer and Amplifier.. It shakes the grounds !!
The interface is really easy to use and touch is very responsive.

Browsing through the list is seems bit difficult initially, because the track name wont show up completely, Just beginning of the track name you can see. Even you wait it wont scroll to show entire name. And you are a iphone/ipod user then don't expect the same kind of touch navigation in this one.

Never mind, once you started using this, these factors doesn't bother you much

Whatever, for this price its a stealing deal...

Back connections of the Pioneer AVH-P3100DVD.

Now playing in a dash near you: Your calls, CDs, DVDs, iPod, and more.

I Can See Clearly Now
The 5.8-inch widescreen touchscreen on the AVH-P3100DVD allows you to enjoy all of your music and videos in style. Sick of having to search through your music song by song? Now you can scroll through your music at the touch of a finger.

iPod Made Easy
Simply plug your iPod directly into the unit using the CD-IU50V iPod cable, and you're ready to rock and roll. Touch-slide scrolling, alphabetical high-speed search, album art, and improved link search make it easy to find your music.

Bring Your Music to Life
Hear the detail, warmth, and clarity the way the artist intended it, from all of your highly compressed MP3, WMA, and AAC files. By restoring data that tends to get lost in the digital compression process, Pioneer can make your music sound close to CD quality.

Smooth Operator
Controlling your movies and music has never been easier. With a smooth swipe of your finger on the touch-panel display, you can fast forward and rewind audio/video content. (Note: The touch-slide fast forward/rewind function is not available on iPod.)

Now it's Personal
Select among five display colors and 112 key panel illuminations to match your car's interior lighting, color, and design. You even can set your favorite JPEG file as wallpaper. Parked with no place to go? Now you can enjoy a slideshow of your photos on a CD or USB device.

Get the Blues
Fed up with your Bluetooth headset? Here's a better hands-free solution. Use the available CD-BTB200 Bluetooth adapter and your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone for easy, safe, and hands-free operation. The unit acts like a speakerphone, channeling the sound through your car speakers, which makes the call sound better. It also automatically mutes your music so that you'll never miss a call. (Note: CD-BTB200 adapter is required.)

The AVH-P3100DVD also includes features that are designed to expand your system, customize your experience, and provide both superior sound quality and easy operation, such as:

BEST STEREO EVER. VERY CHEAP FOR WHAT YOU GET. SOUNDS WONDERFUL. MORE FEATURES THEN YOU WILL EVER NEED A STEREO TO HAVE. COMPATIBLE WITH A TON OF ACCESSORIES THAT CAN BE CONNECTED TO IT. I LOVE MY 3100 AND I KNOW YOU WILL TOO.


Great radio
This radio is capable to do almost anything you need to and is very simple to operate.


Biggest bang for the buck
People can say what they want about how it takes 10 seconds for the ipod load. Whaaaaa It takes 10 seconds to load 14,000 songs on my car stereo. truth betold this deck in a solid performer with great sound. Visually you could ask for more it looks like a factory installed deck. The custom color display lets you set the deck color to your stock lights on the dash. You will not find a better double din deck at this price


Just buy it
Best Buy wanted 0 for this exact same unit.

Item was shipped on time and arrived in perfect condition.

I had to do some dashboard modifications to get it in my F250, but it looks great and works perfectly.

Logitech Professional Presenter R800

Logitech Professional Presenter R800 with Green Laser Pointer


I give a lot of technical powerpoint presentations both at my office and at clients' location. I've needed to upgrade from my lowly (and oh so common) red laser pointer for a while. At the same time, I needed something more than a remote cordless mouse to run my presentations. My boss told me about this Logitech presenter/pointer and said it was the best he had ever used. Being a bit of a Logitech fan myself (mice, keyboards, webcams) I jumped on this recommendation and ordered one on Amazon.

I couldn't be happier with this selection.

The laser (green..) is really bright! It even works on some large LCD displays where the red ones won't even reflect (due to the coating).
As a presentation tool it is extremely versatile and easy to get used to. It fits very well in my hand and rarely do I press the wrong button for advance, back up, blank or get out of presentation mode.
In terms of functionality, it keeps things simple. I have not yet played around with the timer feature as this is not a big need for me, but the small LCD display showing elapsed time is very readable (exception: when the room is darkest). It can be set up to run the presentation with preset times, or to prompt you to move to the next slide.
As mentioned above the ergonomics (at least for me) are excellent.
The USB transmitter slides right into the bottom of the presenter for storage or when not in use.
The "recognition time" the first time you plug the transmitter in your PC is very reasonable (20 sec.).

I've had the presenter for three months and have used it fairly extensively. The laser (which probably uses up most of the battery..) is still strong.
The biggest problem is the covetous eyes of co-workers and clients!

It comes in a nice soft protective leatherette pouch and the unit is sturdily built.

BOTTOM LINE:

I highly recommend this pointer/presenter if you want a reliable tool that's fun to use (and reduces the amount of gadgets you have to carry around).

excellent highly recommended
Simple to use and works well. The green laser is good pointer. Extended range works well in lecture hall.


Great little presenter
Great little presenter, I haven't use it just check it out with some of my power point slides, schools out right now. But place it next to my old one it's like comparing a finger to a hand when it comes to the size and the feel. I like being able to go to the black screen that will come in handed getting the attention off the screen and back on important information I need to get across. I like the ideal of the green pointer that alone will help point out things. My other one had a trackball that would drive you mad, this one was a good price, I had put it off for about two months and then Amazon offer free shipping and Logitech had a 15.00 rebate going on that seal the deal... I can't give it a five due to I'm not sure about the battery life yet.


Nice!
I used to own the older version of this and this one has several nice improvements. Laser is very bright. Only gripe is that the buttons could be more diferentiated to make it easier to hit the correct one without looking.

SanDisk 16GB Ultra II 15MB/s SDHC SD Card (SDSDH-016G, Bulk Packaging)

SanDisk 16GB Ultra 15MB/s SDHC SD Card (SDSDH-016G, Bulk Packaging)


If you buy this card, check the box carefully - it may have slid under the bottom flaps. Bulk packaging saves you the cost of that heat sealed blister pack that is designed to hang on a store shelf. You get the memory card in a static bag.

This helps me get going faster since I don't need to fight the box to get it open, and it reduces plastic waste - both good things.

Otherwise its the same card you could pay more for.

Apple iPod nano 16 GB Silver (4th Generation) [Previous Model]

Sunday, February 28th, 2010


I never thought I needed an iPod (who actually NEEDS one?), but I saw this one-year-old iPod was on sale for 9, and my daughter convinced me I should buy it. I LOVE IT. I am a senior citizen and I walk over 2 miles every morning. I was borrowing books on CD from my library and using a fanny pack to carry a portable CD player to listen to the books while I walked. My daughter explained that I could download the books onto the iPod and then I would only have to carry the tiny iPod in my pocket instead of the fanny pack. She was right! With 16 gb, I can download a TON of books and music (using iTunes), with plenty of room to spare. Now I borrow the books on CD, download them, and return the CD books to the library quickly so someone else can use them. AND my cute little iPod is pink!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!

Glad I found it...
I had a 4th Gen 8G nano that broke and I was looking high and low to replace it. All I found was the new 5th gen nano that had video which I didn't want. Great little music player, it holds about 500 photos and can still hold more. I'm so happy to find a replacement that has more memory than my 8g. Thanks Amazon!


Works good, but a flaw in the design
My wife has this ipod and she's used it daily for the last year and a half. Everything is still running fine on it however there are 2 items I want to mention.

1. The "lock" switch on top.
The previous generation of ipods was all metal, encased and built tough. This generation and from what I can tell the most recent ones as well have this rounded shape to them and the top lock button is held into place by a little white (or black on the newer model) sticker like cover. The cover popped off the other day and the lock button got lost so now we've lost the "lock" function of this ipod. I think it was a poor design. Apple really should have used a better material then a sticker to hold the button in place.

2. The plugs on the bottom
When my wife has this ipod plugged into her car car radio she really can't charge it as the two ports (headphoen and charging) ports are to close to eachother. If she forces it she can make it work, but a tiny more space would have solved that issue.

Overall it's a good ipod. Yeah it lasted a year and a half, but it could have lasted much longer had apple used a metal top with a screw or some other design rather then a sticker that relies on adhesive to hold it on. We looked at the new generation last night and they also have the same exact design flaw so we aren't sure what exactly we are going to do, it won't be buying the same design style ipod. Perhaps we'll go with the classic or touch.


Super cool
I love it I really dont need the camera or any thing so this is just right very clean very very very new . came just in time I didnt find my self slaming the thing on the ground and doing the chimp dance Thank God Just supa EZ to use

Sandisk Mobile ULTRA MicroMate microSDHC & M2 USB 2.0 Card Reader Grey (SDDR-121-GREY, Static Pack)

Sandisk Mobile ULTRA MicroMate microSDHC & M2 USB 2.0 Card Reader Grey (SDDR-121-GREY, Static Pack)


If you have a mini SDHC card, I definitely recommend getting this little card reader. It makes transferring pics, music, documents, etc. so quick and easy! The price is great. I got this to complement my 8 GB micro SDHC that I use in my cell phone. Once you plug in the micro SDHC into the reader, it essentially turns it into a USB flash drive that you can plug into your computer and use to transfer documents and data.

The card reader comes with a little clip that you can attach to the reader and clip onto your keys. I keep mine clipped to my keys and I've been using it for about 3 months now with no problems. One thing I have noticed (and read in other reviews) is that it can get a little warm when you plug it into your computer's USB port. I don't know whether this heat becomes excessive over time or whether it can be potentially damaging to the data on your mini SDHC...I try not to keep it plugged in for too long because, frankly, I don't want to find out! I would recommend this card for quick and easy data transfers.

This is a great little tool for getting information to or from your micro SD card. Haven't use it long enough to rate the durability factor but it couldn't be easier to use.


Handy but Cheaply Made
Bought this twice, both broke within a few months or stopped reading cards. I carried it around on my keychain so it took some abuse though. It was plug and play so very easy to use.

DURACELL C12 PROCELL Professional Alkaline Battery

DURACELL C12 PROCELL Professional Alkaline Battery


These batteries are a very good choice for an inexpensive alkaline. Heavy duty batteries are not cost effective because although cheaper, they have a very short run time. To get the best bang for your buck, go for alkalines like these.

The "Procell" designation is basically Duracell's way of marking these batteries as ones intended for industrial applications. They make them as a separate line so they won't directly compete with their consumer lines.

My experience is that these batteries do not last quite as long as the top consumer lines from Duracell and Energizer. However, they are within 10-20% (depending on the application), and are considerably cheaper. So, they are much more cost effective.

Unless you are using them in an application where it is difficult to change the batteries, I recommend going with these instead of spending more.

half were leaking on arrival
Should be good but were leaking upon arrival. My fault for not returning them, but what a hassle!


Good batteries at a great price
I've been using Duracell Procells (sizes AAA, AA, C, and 9V) in pretty much every small, battery powered device I own for about a year now. In that time, I've noticed absolutely no difference between them and standard Duracell Coppertops or Energizers. Wii controllers, LED flashlights, Maglights, wireless mice, digital cameras, etc... there's been no change in the battery life of any of them. In my opinion, they're just as good in every way and an absolute steal for the price.


These are reliable for me.
I use these in two waterproof radios which get lots of usage all week long. Both radios seems to run a long time before their "Low Battery" indicators start flashing. I am satisfied and buying more.


Works fine.
Not sure what makes them "Professional" - in fact they work the same as non-professional batteries.

Lg Cu515 Battery 1000mah Lgip-520a Sbpl0086901

Sunday, February 28th, 2010


I got tired of having to recharge my LG every night and was tempted to buy a new phone rather than listen to the low battery signal continually. Thank goodness I did the research to find that a new battery was so inexpensive. I'm not saying that the new battery holds an infinite charge, but 3 days is certainly an improvement over the few hours that I was getting. The that I spent makes me feel like I cheated AT&T and that always makes me happy.

Logitech QuickCall USB Speakerphone

Logitech QuickCall USB Speakerphone


I work from home and spend most of my day "in the cloud" which usually means a lot of web conferences and being hooked up to a headset for more hours that I like.

While researching headsets to replace my previous one, I stumbled across this Logitech USB speaker phone and thought I would give it a try, I mean it was only bucks.

Once it arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by its size and quality of the product. It's about the size of an average paperback novel and the low profile means that I can pretty much place it anywhere on my desk without it overpowering my work space.

Since I read the reviews prior to purchasing this product, I knew not to utilize the CDs that came with it, so I downloaded them directly from Logitech, did a restart and then plugged the device in and Voila - working speaker phone.

I've used it for a few days now, with other Skype clients as well as cell phone and landline users and not one person has told me that they "couldn't hear me," which was a common complaint with my previous headset. The call quality is exceptional.

Love the fact that I am "free" and not tied down to a headset and I don't feel like a total dork with something strapped around my head when using my webcam. Plus if I have more than one person in my office, everyone can hear the conversation and contribute to the call.

I also like the fact that I have the option to plug a headset into this unit so as not to disturb anyone in the house when I am working late or when I wish to have a private conversation.

The only drawback is my call and end buttons do not work with Skype, which I expected after reading some of the other reviews , (the mute button works perfectly) which is not a big deal for me since I usually have my Skype UI open in order to view the webcam feeds on my calls.

Other than that, this is the BEST bucks (I bought two) that I've spent for something in my office in a very long time.

(SideNote: I would have given given this product 5 stars if my call and end buttons worked with Skype, but that's more of a software issue rather than a product issue.)

Works with win7
You have t go to the website to download updated drivers, BUt then it has no problems working with 32 or 64 bit versions of the updated OS


Hard to beat on feature for price
I've had this unit a couple of days and so far it seems fine. I'm running it over Windows 7 x64 and had to install the Vista x64 drivers as other reviewers described. I did once see what seemed to be tremendous load on the CPU (another observation reported by other reviewers) but I can't confirm it was actually this unit. I'll update my review if I can repeat it. I assume this was why the unit was withdrawn and so heavily discounted - there's nothing on the logitech site suggesting it has been replaced by a similar desktop speakerphone. I've used it with Skype and X-lite.


Great Product for Internet calling
I have been using Skype based video calling for a while and have always had problems with the Audio. I ordered this product and since then it has been great. I also installed one at my parents house on the other end, and they found it fantastic too. The volume control in front is nifty. I would highly recommend this product for internet calling....and you can't beat the price!

Verbatim 97090 25 GB 2x Blu-ray Single Layer BD-R LTH (Low to High), 20-Disc Spindle

Sunday, February 28th, 2010


These worked well for me, no coasters. That's about all you can ask from a blank disk. How they hold up over the long years, who can say, but my experience with other Verbatim products has been very positive and so few worries there.

Verbatim 97090 25 GB 2x Blu-ray Single-Layer Recordable Disc BD-R LTH (Low to High), 20-Disc Spindle

Product Description:
Verbatim BD-R LTH media is manufactured with an organic dye that turns the disc’s reflectivity during recording from “low to high”. Other BD-R discs use the “high to low” recording method. Additionally, BD-R LTH is manufactured on converted CD-R/DVD-R production lines, which utilize a spin coating process and allow excess materials to be recycled. These two cost-cutting measures let us pass along the savings to you. Upon introduction of the BD-R LTH media, key hardware manufacturers like Sony, Pioneer, Panasonic and LG have worked to assure that their burners are fully compatible. If your BD burner is a 2009 model or later it will most likely support recording and playback of BD-R LTH media. If your Blu-ray hardware was manufactured before 2009, check with the manufacturer for firmware updates.

Features:
  • Low to High (LTH) - BD-R LTH is the same as all other Blu-ray media, except it's manufactured
  • High-Definition - Blu-ray discs are designed especially to store large HD video and audio files.
  • Hard Coat - All Verbatim Blu-ray discs are treated with a super hard coat to prevent scratches, resist fingerprints
  • Verbatim Blu-ray discs use blue-violet laser technology to read and write data
  • The Verbatim single-layer Blu-ray disc offers up to 25GB of storage space to back-up your video, music, photos and more.
