RightWay 400 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this GPS for $60. The good thing is that it can be easily unlocked into a general purpose WINCE machine. The RW400 comes with a multimedia menu out of the box, where you can read txt, watch a few kinds of videos and view pics in a ugly browser. But that's far from what it can actually do. Search "towince" and download the exe into any folder on the SD card that comes with your machine. Change the GPS path to where it is and run. Voila! The WINCE desktop appears! You can view every on-device directory, edit the registry, and launch various applications---it's even pre-loaded with pdf/doc/ppt softwares. Funny why they installed all those stuff if they are not willing to show them to the users.
The copilot software is OK. Smooth interface and quite accurate directions, but 3D display seems a little lagging when there're lots of objects on the map. Not so many POIs---can not find the local bloom store and a newly opened cinema. But you can load your own POI file. Anyway, nearly everything on this device is customizable, including changing GPS software.
Power drains VERY quickly though. Need a recharge every 2 hours if used heavily.
In short, this is a great GPS for geeks who have love of such gadgets. Price is unbeatable.

Logitech DiNovo Cordless Media Bluetooth Desktop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am actually using diNovo keyboard to type this review, and it is a bit of a struggle due to malfunctioning spacebar. :(
I did a bit of research on diNovo before buying it. Most online magazines (PCMag, CNet, etc.) highly recommend this product, noting its high price as the only drawback.
I got this keyboard/mouse combo a week ago, and I must say it looks and feels great. Separate keyboard and touchpad save you desk space. Mouse runs all day without a need for recharging.
I didn't experience any connection issues. It was only one time that I had to press the "connect" buttons on BlueTooth hub and mouse to have it re-detected because it stopped functioning all of the sudden.
The initial installation was smooth. I downloaded the latest drivers, got everything connected and everything went well from there... until yesterday.
All of the sudden the space bar (probably the most useable key on any keyboard) started losing response. I had to hit it harder to move the cursor and even then, at times, it would not respond. As I type this, I often have to hit the spacebar 4-5 times in order to make a single space between the words.
Another problem surfaced early this morning. The lower "fast scroll" mouse button would sometimes result in a "locked" fast scroll. This could be a software issue, I am not sure.
One thing is for certain, the assembly quality seems to be on the lower side. I reached this conclusion based not only on personal experience, but by reading other customer reviews and comments. Given the high price of this product, I am extremely disappointed, if not angry. This is probably the most expensive keyboard/mouse combo on the market, and one thing Logitech should have made sure is that it is of solid build quality. The product is produced by a Logitech plant in China, by the way.
***Update***
I have now received the replacement diNovo mouse/keyboard, and it's been working fine for 2 months now. The only complaint I have is that F6, F7, F8 keys are REAL stiff and hard to press.
Again, build quality is highly disappointing considering high product price.
On the bright side, I was pleased with Logitech support. They are easy to reach at toll-free number with virtually no waiting times. The replacement product was sent to me in timely manner.

Logitech's diNovo Media Desktop is a dramatically designed Bluetooth keyboard and MediaPad, optical mouse, and Bluetooth hub combination that transforms the user’s work space. The visually striking diNovo keyboard gives first-class comfort, while the separate MediaPad lets users remotely command today’s PC digital-media interface to enjoy their favorite pictures and musical selections. The MediaPad also displays e-mail or instant message notifications, media playback status, and provides smart calculator functionality.
The ensemble includes Logitech’s high-precision MX-900 rechargeable optical mouse. The diNovo also turns the PC into a Bluetooth control center, letting users synchronize data between their Bluetooth PDAs, cell phones, other devices, and their PCs. You've never seen anything like the MediaPad, a Bluetooth remote commander for all your digital media. Use it to remotely view, select, and launch your favorite jukebox tunes, video clips, or digital photos.
The MediaPad also displays e-mail or instant message notifications, and it lets you monitor media playback status, even when you're away from your desk. It's a numeric keypad with a built-in smart calculator. And you can view the time and date on the digital display. To streamline your desktop, a single external device performs two critical functions: it serves as a wireless hub for all your Bluetooth devices and as a fast power charger for the mouse. Communicate instantly using your Bluetooth headset, or easily exchange data between your PC and your Bluetooth PDA, cell phone, and printer. Thanks to the power of Bluetooth, you can do it all without wires.
But what is Bluetooth, anyway? Bluetooth is a standard wireless technology aimed at allowing users to make effortless, fast connections between various devices, such as mobile devices and computers. The sophisticated mode of transmission ensures protection from interference and increased data security and offers greater wireless range. Your Bluetooth devices by Logitech will work up to 30 feet away from the included Bluetooth wireless hub.

Logitech diNovo Media Desktop Laser - Keyboard, keypad - wireless - Bluetooth - mouse - Bluetooth 2.0 EDR USB adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the first bluetooth system I've ever used, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Installing it could have been easier, (reflected in the ease of use rating) but once it was done I never looked back.
The only glitch for me was getting used to the need to wake the peices up after being away from the computer for a while. Now it's just routine to hit a key on the keyboard and media pad and move the mouse as soon as I get close.
I've had the system for two years now and have had none of the problems mentioned by the other posters. I even take all three peices with me in my laptop bag when I travel between my three offices and I have never experienced a problem. The ergonomics of the keyboard, the quiet short stroke keys and media control are great.
I'm typically at the computer about eight hours a day and yes the media pad goes through batteries the fastest but the 2650 mAh rechargables last three to five weeks on a charge. The keyboard will go for two months on a fully charged set of batteries and the rechargable mouse will usually go about five days.
Like I said in the title the only thing I wish it would do is glow in the dark. I typically work with the lights off and the thinline white letters on the keys are tough to see when I look down from the bright screen.
I liked it so much I bought my wife a Logitech blutooth mouse and keyboard for her desktop. It's not a diNovo but she loves it just like I do mine

Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In Microsoft's previous design of their Natural Elite keyboard, they attempted to decrease the footprint size of the keyboard by rearranging the cursor keypad along with the PAGE UP/DOWN, HOME/END, and DELETE/INSERT keys. This unfamiliar and unnatural key arrangement caused problems for many users. Now the original standard arrangement has been restored. Yes!
New with this keyboard is a massive row of programmable shortcut buttons along the top. Many of them replicate your web browser's buttons like back/forward, stop, and so on. Others are quick launch buttons for applications like e-mail, web browser, and the calculator. The calculator is probably the most useful shortcut button because it would normally take four mouse movements to launch the calculator from the Accessories Programs Start Menu folder. Believe it or not, the calculator launch button is right above the numeric keypad--good deal!
Another bonus feature of this keyboard is the common shortcut keys printed on the front edge of the respective keys. The CTRL key has a star-like symbol next to it, and you'll find the same symbol printed on the front of several keys like C, X, and V with the shortcut names "Copy", "Cut", and "Paste". These cues are good for helping users learn the keyboard shotcuts to eliminate slower mouse movements.
What's left to improve on? Well, how abot a set of buttons that correspond to the common buttons found in every window? There's the minimize, maximize/restore, close, and scrollbar up/down/left/right. Arrange these buttons on the keyboard in a layout that represents their visual arrangement on screen.
The keys are responsive and fast, but they still seem to lack a feel that provides good tactile feedback for fast typists. Good keys tend to spring back quickly and have a definite threshold point and resistance level; this is more commonly found in more expensive keyboards. I prefer the feel of some Hewlett Packard keyboards I've used that ship with their high-end workstations/servers--other people probably have different tastes for keyboard feel. Overall, the feel of the Microsoft keyboard is comfortable and quiet, but maybe they will work on the keys a little more in a newer model.

Peek Pronto Mobile Messaging Device with One Year of Service Included (Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this to replace my iPhone. I know, it doesn't do much other than text and email - but that was all I was using my iPhone for... all the other stuff was just for passing time in the doctors waiting room ...
Overall the Peek is great - see below - but for Pet's sake - just spend the extra and go for lifetime service instead! No I am not a peek employee ... I just love the device and service.
Peek Pronto Mobile Messaging Device with Lifetime Service Included (Grey)
Pluses:
Simple.
-Up to 5 email accounts
-text all you want (they have recently improved texting)
-unlimited emails
-can do pics and pdfs, and word docs
-low to no monthly fees (my biggest +!!) - depends on service plan - go for lifetime !!!
-mapping / locating service at peekmaps.com (follow your Peek - very cool)
-lots of searches available via email
-great customer service
-works seamlessly with gmail and yahoo mail
-full keyboard
-fast delivery of email
-long battery times (mine goes 2+ days on 1 charge)
-holds minor contact info (1 per email address)
-can import address book directly from gmail, yahoo, etc
minuses:
- a little clunky on the text messaging: they now have a somewhat stationary number to send texts, but the person with the peek really needs to initiate the conversation. It works great once things are going ...
- documents and pictures are OK - but like all mobile devices - they don't always display perfectly
- exchange is supported - but if your server is using old version (2000-2003) it might not work
- typing on small keyboard (long messages are tough)
- only minor spell checking
- one more thing to carry
- the occasional email outage (in over 9 months this has happened 2 times with gmail) others report more often
- some people report slow performance - my experience has been great
- no alarm
- only holds minor contact info
The device really is simple and super easy to use. If you have a teenager that texts all the time - this might work. If you like simple devices that do their 1 thing and do it well - then this is great. if you are on the go a lot or don't want to be tethered to a computer for your email - then this is it.
If you are a mobile professional that needs to stay in constant email contact - then this device rocks. Especially at the lifetime price point. If I have the monthly fee - it kills it for me.
Lifetime Peek = happy guy. Year plan is better than wireless - but with lifetime option - it just makes better sense over the longer haul.
you should browse their forum - the company lets people say whatever they want - and their employees are very responsive to customers. They are always in the forums ... over at [...].

Casio Disc Title Printer with Qwerty keyboard (CW-75) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The software install was very fast and went without a hitch. Loaded the batteries, installed the print cartridge, and connected to the computer with the included USB cable. Turning the printer on then prompts Windows XP to recognize the new hardware and load the drivers which you previously installed from the CD-ROM. This took 30 seconds.
Once that was done, I opened up the software and after clicking around a bit to see some of the formatting options, it took me less than ten minutes to put together a label for tomorrow night's MONK second season finale episode which I will burn onto DVD-R, with MONK at the top print area, and the episode name and original air date on the bottom print area. I used TDK brand DVD-R media which has a nice, large, smooth printable surface at the top and bottom.
Then I used the sample CD-R which comes with the machine, to burn a copy of a music CD. My results and observations of the machine's performance:
1. The software is pretty slick, and so far it works flawlessly. Depending on the type of disc you are printing (e.g. music, data, photos, etc.), it presents you with a variety of formatting options for the two print areas. With all formatting options, you can change the font name and size to whatever you have installed on your computer. All text formatting changes are immediately shown in the on-screen depiction of your label, so you can see right away if your text will fit into the print area the way you want it to appear. If you are printing in both print areas of the disc, the software prompts you to first align the disc in the tray for the top portion of the label...click print and it goes to it. Then the tray opens again, and the software prompts you to turn the disk so that it can print the lower print area.
2. I have not yet used the printer as a stand-alone...I will eventually try it out, but why bother with all those buttons and keys when I can easily get what I want much more easily on the computer?
3. The print quality is Pretty Darn Good. Larger, bolder and straighter fonts come out better than smaller, thin and curvy fonts, but in all cases you'll notice a slight "pixelization", or slightly rough edges. To my eye, it's only obvious if I hold the thing right up to my face. You can change the print density but I haven't played with that option yet, to see if it makes a difference. Overall, I'm happy with the print quality.
4. I'll be interested in seeing how the printing on the CD holds up from use in my car. The instructions say that use in such players causes wear on the print surface from the CD player's rollers that load the CD, which could cause the printing to eventually get worn off. Also says not to keep printed CDs where they'll get very hot, and not to store them in plastic-sleeve storage devices...I guess the ink can come off on the vinyl if it's in contact with it for very long.
5. Cost per print raised by others...bah! Definitely no comparison to the almost-zero cost of just writing on a disc with a marker, but my handwriting and printing looks like crap. Labels and ink jet ink aren't free, but probably cheaper than using this...but so what? And I'm starting to see some of the labels I've been using (Stomper and Avery) come up a little around the edges over time.
6. Power options: the battery power is great for me, because I don't have to find an empty outlet in my gaggle of power strips, and I can just pick the thing up and put it in a drawer when I'm done. On the other hand, I think Casio could have sprung for a measly A/C adapter instead of making it an option.
7. The CW-75 is not built like a tank. The drawer has a flimsy feel and does not close as precisely as it should. The unit is lightweight and...well, just think of your last Casio calculator or adding machine to get an idea of its general construction, fit, and finish.
