Creative Labs Game Star (VF0080G) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Basically, you're buying a budget webcam with some fun interactive games for your kids to play with. Don't expect anything like Wii, X-box, or PS2. There is no serious gaming going on here. Just fun goofy activities that add up to lots of laughter and silliness.
The Creative webcam itself is decent. It's a well-built budget model (Creative Labs VF0040 WebCam Instant) that works for most home applications like Gamestar, AIM video chat, etc. Creative drivers are included for use with many different systems, but you can only use the Gamestar on Windows 2000/XP systems. (Don't know about Vista.) I like how it's built so you can use in different positions - either on a table top, on top of a PC, or safely propped on an LCD laptop screen. You do need some decent lighting, but I've gotten good results with a small 25 watt table lamp I keep by my PC. The nice thing is that this webcam is usable with other programs, it's not locked to just using Gamestar. (Don't expect razor sharp quality of a video camera - you'll be sorely disappointed.)
The Gamestar programs are silly fun. There are two sections to Gamestar - Games and Activities. The Games section is geared for older kids under 13 and the Activities section is more geared for pre-schoolers and younger kids; although I don't doubt everyone of all ages will want to try this and have fun with it - we adults have had a giggling good time with the games ourselves.
One of my favorite is the picture gallery. There's a couple of dozen photos where you can have your face superimposed on either another person, animal, or flower. You can then take a snapshot that is save on the PC and can be printed. While this is not new game technology, it's still fun to play with.
Then there's the fish music, karate matches, dancing, and more. All simple fun - nothing hugely sophisticated, just a lot of eye candy for kids to add up to lots of movement and giggles. My four-year-old son has had a great time playing with Gamestar - he jumps, moves, and laughs at himself being silly and seeing silly things happen on the computer screen.
The best way to look at this setup is that your buying an attractive budget webcam with some extra software to add a lot of fun to your webcam. Young kids, webcam newbies, and even adults of all ages will likely find something fun with this - even if they don't want to admit it.

HP iPAQ 5450 Color Pocket PC Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)There are alot of bad comments floating around about the 5450 at the moment. I got one pretty early and I want to voice my opinion.
1st thing this thing looks AWESOME. forget the size of the 1910 because this looks sleek and stylish....it looks smaller than it actually is.
second is the speed. its not really slow at all; same speed as 3950 clicking about, and yes its a few frames slower in games.
now onto the good points :) the bluetooth wizard is a snap and i connected to my t68 in a few minutes. the wifi is also simple once u understand how it works, and the signal is as good as a laptop card! however it does kill the battery pretty quick.
next thing; the battery; its **slightly** lower than the 3950 but only slightly shorter operating time. it is also removable and hp offer a high capacity battery. the great thing about it is that the screen is **soo** bright its unbelievable; i never need it higher than the lowest backlight setting (one above none) because its so bright so i get about 5 or 6 hours life. if u turn the backlight off completely (which u can in some situations) u get around 7 to 8 hours life.
the sound is slightly lower than the 3950 but its not like you need it that loud anyway. i listen to music pretty loud and i never turned it up to full volume.
the biometric feature is AWESOME once u get the hang, its great playing with it when u are bored :)
the dpad is a bit stiff to begin with but once u get used to it and it loosens up it gets more usable - a bit small but i prefer it to the old ipaqs.
i have 2 negative points:
1. the case that comes with it will scratch the finish on the ipaq if u take it on and off. so leave it either always off (and get a new case or none at all) or LEAVE IT ON (i left mine on) or u will ruin the finish on your ipaq.
2. the video and game speed - its bareable (nowhere near as bad as e740) but a bit slower than previous ipaqs. hp are addressing this as i type and once the new driver comes out the 5450 will be the fastest model out so far.
also in the future you can use this ipaq as a phone aswell. how do i know? well there is a sim card slot behind the battery, and it uses a cut down version of pocket pc 2002 phone edition - so in the future there should be something to allow you to use it as a phone!!
all in all an awesome product well worth the money; head and shoulders about the toshiba, the dell and the rest. if u have the money BUY it u will not regret it. there are a couple of dodgy ones floating around (with bad screen speed and wifi) but u can return it if u get one
BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!

HP Pavilion 734n Desktop (2.0-GHz Athlon XP 2400+, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This desktop pc is a really good deal for the price. Has a good ram to play any of the games or can be used for business purposes. HP Pavilion 734N is a Desktop PC that's geared for serious fun. It can tackle business, games, multimedia creativity, and more. This desktop is extremely efficient in usage.
This pc is very good for music and entertainment purposes such as watching dvd's. One of the advantages of this system is its massive 80 gig hardrive.
The anthlon processor scores a 9/10 on graphics but it heats up pretty fast.
I think its totally worth its price but if you are willing to spend a little more I think the Alienware Navigator Pro is a better deal.

Handspring Visor GameFace Joystick for Visor Prism Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got this a while back for my Prism. I didn't realize at the time it was just a faceplate that pushes the application buttons on the Visor, so I was a little disappointed--seems like a lot to pay for that. Still, it was nice for games, making gameplay faster since the joystick appearance is more intuitive for games than the buttons alone. The SnapNType by TT Tech is way better though, it's an actual interface that snaps into the port on the Visor and has a Palm OS driver, rather than just being a button-pusher. Hopefully Amazon will carry that soon!

TDK External 4x Multiformat External DVD-Rewritable Drive Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been watching the price of external DVD writers for over a year. This particular item has dropped from over $400 to a little more than $200 (with a current $30 TDK rebate and careful comparison shopping --not neccesarily via Amazon) during that time. It has many positive points to recommend it, and only a few minor issues.
Strenghts:
(1) The external option is a blessing if you are not comfortable with --or simply don't want to spend the time-- messing around inside your computer. Even though my currrent desktop is homebuilt and I'm fine with working inside the case, both of my IDE controller "master" settings are already dedicated (one to the hard drive, one to an existing CD-RW. The latter is capability I'll want to retain for a while longer).
(2) The presence of both USB 2.0 and FireWire interfaces adds obvious flexibility to this unit. Since the data transfer rates are nearly the same, this is a matter of personal preference (unless you only have one type available on your computer, of course).
(3) The ability to write in both DVD+RW and DVD-RW formats spares consumers any painful -and possibly regretable-- "vhs vs. beta" type decisions as this market segment matures.
(4) This unit shipped with a surprisingly good printed users manual for both hardware and software operation.
(5) Worked great first time out of the box. Extensive data backups of up to 4.7 GB on a single DVD....how cool is that!
Nitpicks:
(1) The CD drawer operation is a little on the noisy side.
(2) Personal preference issue: The included burning software is Roxio's EZ CD Creator. I prefer Ahead Software's Nero package based on a couple years of experience with both. Your mileage and user experience may vary, of course.

Philips SA261 Solid State 512 MB MP3 Player Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This mp3 player was pretty good. It is durable, it has 512 mb of internal memory, it has expandable memory, an fm tuner, an fm recorder, and a voice recorder. However it alphabetizes your songs. It also sorts your songs by artist. You cannot move your playlists over from your computer. You also cannot create your own playlists.
The menu looks like this--
Playlists
Artists
All Tracks
Playlists just sits there like a bump on a log.
The radio is the best part. It gets great reception. Then you can record all your favorite songs. The headphones are a piece of junk. The sound is good but they fell out of my ears. The left earpiece had a sort cord (maybe 3 inches) and the right one had a much longer one (more than 6 inches). That was also a great inconvinence. I bought 97 cent headphones from Wal Mart that work much better.

Wyse Winterm 941GXL ( 902073-21 ) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The 941GLX is a thin client with XP Embedded. I purchased it to gain thin client experience because they were designed for 24 x 7 operation.
This unit was purchased "open box" but had the Wyse 3 year warrantee so I felt the risk was low. I considered a new product but they are quite expensive. This unit, offered by one Amazon's partners, was offered at a great price. Regrettably, it arrived DOA and the Amazon "partner" customer service was below standards. It was like pulling teeth. The end result was offering customer service. Fortunately, Wyse customer service was excellent and honored their commitments to their customers.
The 941GLX works great, with or without a keyboard, mouse, or monitor. I am utilizing TightVNC that came with it's image. To work without the KVM I had to modify a bios setting so it would not halt on no keyboard, and two vnc settings (one of them via the registry, because the user account is really locked down) for timely remote access ... all part of the gaining experience.
Other than rewarding the Amazon "partner" for their below standards customer service (most organizations will pay shipping for DOA) this has been a great experience.

AMD AXDA2800BOX Athlon XP 2800 512KB L2 Cache Processor Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Ok folks, bought my Barton 2800+ awhile ago, and I've just recently gotten this system up and running and at a good place, so I'll let you know how I did. Specs are as follows:
EpoX 8RGA+
ATI Radeon 9600XT 128MB
1 Gig Corsair TwinX PC3200LL
80GB Western Digital Special Edition
Innovatek Water cooler (set5)
Enermax case with the Enermax logo side window (mid-tower)
Right now I have the CPU running at 12x200 at 1.825 VCore and 2.0 VDD for a total of about 2.41GHz. I plan on bumping up the FSB a little more, as the jump to 2.0 VDD should give me at least another 5 FSB. Max stable CPU overclock was about 2425MHz. I purchased this CPU as soon as newegg had them, so I don't know if newer batches are performing any better. Still not a bad overclock. Prices have lined up much better since the release, as was expected, but I had to have it then :)

Silicone Clear Skin Case with Amband for Zune 80gb/120Gb + Premium Car Charger Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this primarily for the silicone case. It works wonderfully and will keep your Zune 80/120 from getting scratched up. This is especially handy if you find yourself dropping your Zune a lot.
The car and AC adapter are okay. You get what you pay for. They both take a few hours to charge the Zune and I think you have to turn the Zune off for them to work. If you need a more reliable charger get the Microsoft AC and car adapters even if you have to pay an extra $20-30. Just consider these a modest bonus with the silicone case.
