Well to start off this was the 1st real X-mas present I got for and adult EVER. She saw my 1st gen 16GB touch and liked it. When I upgraded to the 3rd gen 64GB she wanted my old one. Too bad I sold it to pay for the new one. But I knew what to get for her this X-mas. I got her the 8GB I thought they were all the same. I was wrong. They cut out a lot of the good stuff. She was happy with it but I wanted her to have all the features I did. So I told her to send it back and I had this model sent instead. This model is for the music lover that more than likely won’t utilize all the features on it but, they might want to try different apps every now and then. So the extra memory space won’t hurt. Mainly because they are not trying to put movies, videos, or anything that takes up a lot of memory. That’s why I got her the 8GB (not because I was being cheap). Had I read more I would have known the difference. I know more than likely she won’t use for any thing but music and a few podcasts.

The fact that you can connect to Skype if you have a wifi connection, and talk like it is a phone as if you were at you PC is a great addition. You can record voice notes and memos or even set your own voice to your alarm. I know she enjoys the gym a lot so it really comes in handy. She can listen to her own music while she doing her workout or any other time. She can also play her iPod in the car, if you are not fans of radio like us it a plus. Also you don’t have to stop what you’re doing or get distracted to change a CD, which is reason enough if you ask me. The GPS system is helpful but almost all phones come with that now, but it is there if you need it. You can still surf the net, check emails, stocks (I guess), and go to the iTunes store for upgrades music and more.

It has all the features as the first 2 models in addition to the new feature. We both agree the built-in speakers are one of the best features to they had on the 2nd and 3rd gen. It was my main reason for the upgrad

I bought this case for my Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 and it fits perfectly! The back of the case is hard to protect the LCD screen, and the front is really stretchy and durable. This case is perfect for me because I can slip my camera in and out easily to capture those precious (and fleeting) moments. I didn’t want to fool with zippers or flaps.

We tried it w/ the solution and dry, this vacuum just pushed the dirt and dust around – maybe ours was defective. we sent it back to amazon, all i can say is thank god we bought it from amazon where returns are hassle free!

Starting in February 2010, after less than three months of use, two of these cables have tolerance or continuity problems with the connector on the TV end. If I jiggle the connector and hold it just right, the cables work OK. If I substitute other cables between the same devices, all is well.

Purchased three of these in Nov 2008, tested when new and they seemed to work fine. I put them in a drawer. Started using two of them in December 2009 between identical BluRay players and one LG TV and one Samsung TV. Worked fine for a while. I gave the third cable to a neighbor last week and it is still working for her. Another HDMI cable (Panasonic OEM) connected between a DVD recorder and the Samsung TV has been working fine since December 2008.

Mixed reviews held me back from reading this book for quite some time, despite my recent foray into juvenile literature. I have to say I have mixed feelings as well, though not for a lot of the reasons I’ve read (okay, people who say a 12-year-old criminal mastermind is just ‘too farfetched’ of an idea… did you notice the fairies and dwarves and trolls and the centaur? Oh, a 12-year old genius is too much to handle, but all of the fantasy creatures… no problem? Fiction, people… it’s fiction. If I wanted ‘real world’ stuff I’d just leave the house!). Mostly I had a very hard time picturing a lot of the creatures (specifically the dirt-eating unhinged-jawed dwarf) and didn’t have a great handle on the setting/technology/magic being described. But the action was good, and I did like a lot of the characters. So it gets a pretty middle-of-the road review, though I will read more in the series.
DRIVER LEFT SIDE ONLY

The fancy packaging has plenty of space for an users’ manual. Spend less on fancy packagimg and more on making the software useful for the consumer! As it is, the over-priced program is completely useless to me!

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about this product. The Hoover SteamVac F5914-900 lives up to its billing in all areas. It is easy to manage and maintain and has done a great job cleaning rugs and carpet that had not been cleaned for too long a period. Every do-it-yourselfer should have one in the home!
ORIGINAL PRINTED PATENT APPLICATION

I like this scale for its consistent accuracy and easy to read display. A bonus is its sleek look–no ridges to keep clean like my old scale which gave 4 different weights when stepped on 4 times in succession.

Apparently the batteries that came with it were old because the display said “Lo” and wouldn’t register my weight. After I bought and inserted new batteries, it worked just fine.

It takes a hard heel thump rather than a light tap to turn on but I consider that a minor issue.

I thought the cost reasonable and wouldn’t hesitate recommending it.
FENDER BENCHMARK RR SMTH

We recently purchased the ipod touch from Amazon. Our product was shipped via the USPS and took the normal 4 days to travel from New Hampshire to Vermont. Unfortunately the box felt extremely light when it arrived. It was light, because someone had opened the end carefully and stolen the ipod. A quick email to Amazon and another was on it way. Six days later – remember it is only a 3 hours drive to New Hampshire – the local Post Office called to inform us that a package arrived at their facility and had been opened; another stolen ipod. The PO did talk to Amazon and they shipped another ipod. I have nothing but praise for how Amazon handled the situation relative to customer care. We did not have to fill out eight million forms, or wait on hold for 2 hours ten times to get a manager to make an approval. We are cooperating fully in helping Amazon get reimbursed by the USPS for the losses. AGAIN – AMAZING SERVICE. We have been regular Amazon customers and will continue to be.

As for the Ipod, my wife loves it and its capabilities far exceeded our expectations.
