Customer Review: great bag for day hikes
For a “serious amateur” photographer with one body and a couple of lenses, this is probably the best bag out there for day hikes and around-town jaunts. I did quite a bit of research before ultimately deciding on this one. It went up against a couple of Lowepro bags (i.e., Trekker II, Fastpack 100, Flipside 200) and a couple of Kata bags (i.e., DR-465 and DR-467). In shopping for a camera bag, I had a couple of main objectives: I needed a backack-style bag that would safely hold a few pieces of gear (a Canon XTi body, 2-3 lenses, and a SD630 point-and-shoot), a bag that did not scream “I am a camera bag”, and one that would be comfortable to wear on relatively challenging day hikes (e.g., up Mt. Mansfield in Vermont) while accommodating a few non-camera items.

Customer Review: Works Perfectly
I ordered this product a few days ago, and it works perfectly! (so far) I’m using it as I write this review too! It provides crystal clear stereo audio for me, (although the left and right stereo sounds are switched due to my phone being LG) and I can’t see the design flaw that someone else mentioned.
The product shipped quickly-four days with standard shipping. Overall, well worth the few dollars that this product costs. :)
Customer Review: Fourth time is a charm
I got this adaptor from Radio Shack for my daughter’s Sanyo Katana phone. Every time she bent the cord slightly it would crackle, so I took it back and tried a second one. The same thing happened. Then I went to Target and got a different style, a retractable one made by Just Wireless. It listed a number of phone brands on the front of the package, including Sanyo, and the package stated it was for stereo earphones. But the sound only came through one earphone, so I took it back. I was out shopping and went by a different Radio Shack and thought I would give these one more try. This one works just fine. Even though it works I only give it 3 stars because there is an obvious quality control problem, and the flexible part is not of the same quality of any earphone cable and it is going to go bad after some amount of flexing. NOTE: To get stereo sound you need the adaptor with 3 rings (like this one), there are similar looking adaptors with 2 rings, they will only give sound through one earphone, when used with the Sanyo Katana anyway.

Customer Review: It is a roll of the dice if you buy a plasma TV online
I purchased this plasma after a lot of research because Panasonic is the 2nd best to Pioneer in quality and picture. Pioneer, arguably the top plasma on the market, has decided to stop producing their own plasma and will now buy from the same company that Panasonic gets it’s screen.

Customer Review: Perfect fun useful camera!
It has cool features like face recognition and color selection!! Love it! Gold is very unique and not very bling blig, more of a sandy color.
Customer Review: Okay, but pretty good for the money
I just got this camera today, and although I kinda like it, I am really disappointed at some of the picture quality. Keep in mind, though, that I was taking the pictures of myself so my hand was a little shaky. Also, when i tried to use the color swap it didn’t work all that great and was confusing…there is a better canon camera for only about $50 more that I wish I had gotten. My older sister got it instead…

Electronics: The Must-Have Accessory

You might not see iPods on Paris runways, but electronics have undergone a transformation from a utilitarian necessity to a fashion accessory. While electronics aren’t exactly replacing jewelry as a status symbol - bling is still the thing - the types of gadgets a person can’t live without speaks volumes about his or her lifestyle.

Those in the halls of power can’t live without a BlackBerry - nor can Hollywood celebrities, it seems. Keeping in touch - anywhere, anytime - makes everything from cell phones to Bluetooth to PDAs must-haves. The popularity of electronics hasn’t escaped the notice of those in the automotive world, as microchips have migrated from those controlling the vehicle’s on-board computer system to the automotive accessory of the year - the Global Positioning System (GPS).

Customer Review: Nifty, thrifty little printer
This sturdy, little HP printer seems to be a work horse. It is perfect for printing ready-to-sign documents when with a client in the field. As near as I can sense, it has all the qualities of a larger model, but is small and light enough to carry with my laptop together in one case. I’ve had no problems at all and would recommend it without reservation.
