Solely 4 Solar

Ok, I'll admit that I splurged on another great keyboard from Logitech bascially due to the solar capabilities, I had purchased the 920-000914 several months earlier and was very impressed, in fact, nearly everything that Logitech has their hands in is impressive, for me it has been anyway.
I was in need of a wireless keyboard for my entertainment center which is used mainly for browsing the web, nothing heavy. So while walking through the store one day, saw this and thought "no more batteries", done deal. This keyboard worked like a charm right out of the box. Windows XP had no issues with it at all and it picked up nicely from about 25 feet across the room. It is very thin and light weight and the keys are very quiet and stable. I really appreciate the On/Off switch, really saves the energy. Glad they're going with the unifying receivers now, one receiver runs multiple devices, only one USB input needed.
What's great about it: No more batteries, the charge last a long time!
What's not so great: None so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Keyboard Ever!
on May 10, 2011
Posted by: JC103

Logitech has aced it with this keyboard! The over-all quality is astounding and the comfort level is great. It's the flattest keyboard I've ever used and the heaviest. It's the first I've purchased with the "back-lit" keys and they're adjustable, they have 3 brightness levels. I use it a lot playing C.O.D. Modern Warfare II and it's always stable and stays put, no sliding around on my desk and best of all, playing MW2 in the dark, love that!
The keys are smooth and quiet and the keyboard is so flat it doesn't bother my wrists to use it for extended periods. It is a USB keyboard so if you only have a PS2 input you'll need an adapter. Needing this adapter is rare these days with all the USB ports available on desktops. I'm a Huge Logitech fan and this is another great product from them, enjoy!
What's great about it: Back-lit keys, super flat design, excellent quality!
What's not so great: None so far!

This must have originally been a game for the Xbox or PS3. There's NO support for a joystick, I've got a Microsoft Sidewinder and I can't use it in this game and that pretty much suxs.
Hate using the keyboard in any race game but you'll have to do that with this one unless you already own the only controller the game supports. The game is pretty fun and it does look good, I guess for $19.99 what'd I expect? I do have a Logitech gamepad and the game doesn't support it either, I'll be shelving Blur soon.
If using the keyboard is your thing then by all means I recommend it, if not then stay away!
What's great about it: Good graphics, runs smooth!
What's not so great: Not ready for the PC just yet.

Retiring my old HP C7100 series All-in-one and always having purchased HP brand I decided to give the Kodak ESP6150 a try, glad I did too. No more hassling with all those different, EXPENSIVE ink cartridges. The HP was a nightmare on the ink, it finally got hung up in the "replace yellow" cart so thought it was a good time to upgrade.
With the duplexing, 30-page auto document feeder, fax(33.6kbps), 200-page high-capacity input tray and the lowest ink costs in the industry the ESP6150 was an easy choice. They're also using pigmented inks that do NOT smudge or run. Freshly printed pics easily hold up to an accidental water spill.
You can connect the All-in-One to your computer via Usb, ethernet or wireless. I originally had used the ethernet connecting to my router and that worked great for my computer but my wireless devices weren't picking it up so I switched over to the wireless connection, now all of my devices see and print to it with no problem. If you're an iPhone, iPod or iPad user Kodak has an App for it and it works great. Just make sure to set it up on the wireless connection. Installing the Kodak Print Center software and getting the All-in-One up and running was a breeze. Love it!
Print documents up to 32/30 ppm in black/color.
Copy documents up to 27/26 cpm in black/color.
What's great about it: Very quiet, great prints!
What's not so great: None so far.

Wow, I love this BluRay!
on March 2, 2010
Posted by: JC103
from Georgia
I hadn't been a big fan of The Blue Man group until I caught a portion of their show on HDNet several months ago. Ever since then I've looked here and there for the DVD with no luck, well I found something even better, this BluRay on Best Buy for a great price and now I'm a huge fan!
These guys are excellent percussionists! Wow, their rhythm and sense of timing in the music is incredible! Being a student of music all my life I appreciate good music and good rhythm, this BluRay has tons of it too! The type of music they do is a little different, something out of a Cirque Du Soleil show almost, but it's really good!
It's just the mixture of the singing along with the guys playing the odd instruments really sets this show apart and worth seeing. The band supporting the guys is excellent as well. They have three drummers combined with 2 singers, 2 guitarists and a couple keyboardists, love it!
Buy this BluRay!
Enjoy
=)
What's great about it: The Blue Dudes and their band was excellent

Just like the product says, "Free your music"!
on January 31, 2010
Posted by: JC103
from Georgia
This is one of the BEST home audio devices that I've ever purchased! Bar none! Along with its brother the "Classic" version, it's hard to beat! I have this unit in my master bedroom and the wireless feature is being used, it works flawlessly by the way. I like to stream internet radio stations and there are thousands, no kiddin, thousands. It can get a little overwhelming at first but when you find a station you like make sure you save it to your "Favorites". One of my favorites is a station out of the Netherlands, called "AVRO Klassiek", nothing but soundtracks!
I've read a lot of reviews that state you have to have your computer running at all times. This isn't totally correct, if you're running a NAS drive with your slim server installed your computer doesn't have to be turned on. I purchased the NetGear ReadyNas Duo from Best Buy, it works perfectly with all versions of Logitech's Squeezebox units. However if you have all of your music on the computer then yes, it will have to remain "on".
It's absolutely awesome to have my entire audio collection at my fingertips ready to play in no time! Over 6000 mp3s and iTunes installed and it will access any of them within seconds. One note for the iTunes fans, this unit and any other mp3 player will not play iTunes with the DRM encoding, it only plays the "iTunes Plus" files, so keep that in mind.
The sound quality is very good for such a small device, very happy with it!
What's great about it: Internet radio streaming, access your personal mp3/iTunes collection!
What's not so great: None yet!

Glad to see the 840G
By JC103 from Georgia
Purchased the LG 800G about 7 months ago, nightmarish touch screen. Ok sound and poor Bluetooth capabilities.
Purchased the LG 840G yesterday and man I'm glad I gave it a try. The touch screen is excellent compared to the 800G. It feels more like my iPod and the screen is just about as responsive. No, it's not an Apple but the screen is a huge improvement.
On to the Bluetooth, I've always been a "hands-free" driver but the 800G would not pair with my Garmin GPS. The 840G paired with it right away and that made me a happy fella. No more having to hold the phone in the car, major plus. Once I power up the Garmin, BAM, it's paired, love it!
The sound quality is as excellent as a cell phone can get I think, I've had many and it's as good as any. It's slightly heavier than my 2nd Gen iPod and about 1/4" shorter, haven't tried using it for music just yet but will soon. One real bummer is that Best Buy doesn't carry any accessories for this particular phone, only generics! They're punishing us folk who don't want contract phones. That came right out of the mouth of one of their sales associates, lol. If you do already own a Tracfone and want to upgrade you can transfer your number and your minutes, did so myself on their website, you'll have to register of course. It was simple to do.
My advice is, if you're an earlier Tracfone purchaser, try this phone, you'll like it. If you're a techno and had all the latest gear you might not be so impressed.

Review Update:
February 25, 2013
Wanted to add a few things that were left out of the review. I have checked the music player on the phone and it works very well. When you plug the 840G into the computer it recognizes it as a 2gb "mass storage" device, very cool, lots of space. Drag-n-drop your music into the "audio" folder, contact pics into the "picture" folder and go from there. The images need to be no larger than 115x115 pixels or they won't fit very well. The WiFi works great too, no minutes are charged while browsing the web, talking while on WiFi still deducts your minutes. Triple minutes for the life of the phone are excellent can't be beat, pretty sure TracFone's the only company offering that with this LG. I have to say that LG/TracFone hit it out of the park with this phone, the iPod will be staying home for a while!

Easy to use
By justtryin2getby from Topeka, KS
This is really a pretty good phone and I am happy with almost everything but there is no caller id and the only time you can use a qwerty keyboard is for texts. You can't use the qwerty function to enter contact info, notes, calendar reminders, etc. What kind of you-know-what for brains dreamed that up?

DOES NOT INCLUDE CONNECTION CABLES!!!
By MMoth from TX
Just got this to hook up two game consoles and a DVD player to my HDTV. Was not forewarned that this thing doesn't come with cables to hook it up to the TV. Does the manufacturer think the consumer is magically going to pull the needed cables out of thin air? Why was a set of component cables NOT INCLUDED WITH THIS ITEM? It makes no sense! Now I have to buy the component cables separately and can't hook this thing up until those arrive! This is ridiculous!

Bought one of these for myself, no where on the box does it state cables included. It does state this however, "Includes remote control, A/C adapter, 2 AAA batteries and manual". From that I gather that no component cables will be in the box.

OUTSTANDING REMOTE!!
By Police350 from Eatonton,Ga
This remote is an entertainment junkies best friend! I was a little skeptical about buying this remote a such a high price, but the salesman that sold me my 3D TV,Blu Ray 3D Player(PS3), Sound bar,& remote link for the PS3 talked me into it when he showed me that it would be fully compatible with ALL my hardware.When I saw how easy it was to plug this remote into a computer and go to it;s website,search and add each device(easily) ,sync it, and you are ready to go! It does all it says PLUS SOME! It has more features than I will ever be able to figure out how to use, This version can be programmed with up to 5 devices!(Tv',Game Systems,Dvd players,surround sound units,and the list could just KEEP ON GOING!) If you have a small setup,this is the remote for you! I wish I had spent the extra money now and had gotten the remote version that allows up to 12 or 18 devices due to my extensive setup! Final advice,if you want a TRULY,fully functioning universal remote.This is a must have! Count how many devices you have, and buy the remote that fits your needs,you won't regret it! I promise!

Good radio ...
By dav448
I am disappointed in my AVH4100NEX radio that I purchased from Best Buy a couple months ago. Before buying the 4100, I research other brands and decided on the Pioneer AVH4100NEX. Pioneer has a great reputation for quality audio products, so I purchased the AVH4100NEX with the comfort of knowing that I purchased a good quality product. The radio itself works great, the Bluetooth links automatically with my Samsung Note 3 for hands free calling and Pandora. That is where my satisfaction for the 4100 ends.
The system will not recognize my Samsung Note 3 with Android 5.0 when connecting to the USB2 port on the back of the receiver. I purchased the recommended wiring harness Pioneer recommends, but still the system will not recognize my phone. I have read complaints from people who are experiencing the same problems as I, and they also have received little to no help from Pioneer. The ones who have received a response, common theme from Pioneer is the phone device is not compatible, even though Pioneers website promotes Samsung phones, and especially the Note 3 to be compatible with the 4100. .
I truly wish I could give this product a positive review but I can't. Pioneer is not consumer friendly which is doubly disappointing. I sent Pioneer an email with a list of issues twice, I am yet to receive a response from Pioneer.
In summary, if you are looking for an intelligent audio entertainment system for your car that works seamlessly with your personal device, Pioneer may not be the brand to chose. I sincerely hope you will have better success with a Pioneer system than I, but in event that you don't, be prepared to feel disappointed and cheated.

Would be great but...
By Hokies2000
I purchased the 42mm black stainless steel version. Paired with an Android phone running the latest version this works very well. Notifications are reliable, and it was very easy to set up and to use. Battery life is much better than expected. Usually get 16 hours a day with 15-20% remaining, if not more.
The only issue and complaint that I have is about the black stainless steel band. The finish wears off way too easily. I wore it for 1 week, and the only thing the band touched was my office desk while typing, and the finish wore off. Motorola sent me some replacement links, but still expected a bit more durability from a $350 watch. The band is the only thing keeping this from being a full 5 stars.

Amazing quality
By pbsvideo
The sharpness, color and contrast off this projector are stunning. This projector performs at a level I have only seen previously at $10K+ I've waited for this model since it was announced and well worth it. It is whisper quiet as well. Whereas not true 4K, the pixel doubling for 4K emulation does improve resolution. Suitable for a moderately bright room. Very pleased.

How bright is the bulb? Does it provide adequate light over stove? We currently have a normal hood fan/light over our stove.

It's not that bright. You have a 40 watt bulb in the range hood? I did in my hood, this bulb isn't that bright, it's ok for me though.

we have 12" deep cabinet above our range will this work with this product? Our microwave now is counter top clueless? thank you

Yes it will work. My cabinet is 12" deep also. The opening has to be 30" wide. The microwave will stick out 15" from the wall and it's 16" tall. Code in my state says the microwave has to be 13.5" from the range and that's exactly what's left. Good luck!

Why even show this product if don't have it

You have to check their website several times a day, the Mavic Pro is a hot seller right now and Best Buy along with everybody else empties their shelves in no time. About my third log-on of the day I couldn't believe they had some in stock! Before I could shut the computer off they were sold out, all the batteries were gone too. Amazing selling machine! DJI hit a homerun with it, hang in there, it's worth it!
