The ultraportable iPod nano features a 2.5-inch Multi-Touch display that's great for browsing your music, photos, and videos. And it has built-in Bluetooth technology, FM radio, Nike+ support, and a pedometer.

I purchased this product from Walmart along with the
Ematic 11-in-1 Universal Accessory Kit for iPod and MP3 Players w/ Portable Speaker .
The positives: it's small and compact and nice looking. I purchased the blue color. Just like any other mp3 it plays music.
Ematic 11-in-1 Universal Accessory Kit for iPod and MP3 Players w/ Portable Speaker .
The positives: it's small and compact and nice looking. I purchased the blue color. Just like any other mp3 it plays music.
The negatives: If you have a big music library for example 5,000 albums. You'll have to convert it on Itunes and it takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds a album. Example 10 full albums would take about 13 minutes.
If doesn't even recognize if the song was synced before it synced the same song 4 times to my ipod nano.
Basically you are forced to use the Itunes software which lacks so many features. I had to reconnect the ipod 5 times on just 8 albums. After 1 album sync it would automatically disconnect..
If you have a small music library and want to buy songs for $.99 cents to $1.29 off of Itunes it may be for you. If you have a large music library as i do 10,000 + orginal albums it's a mess.
This was a product re-designed just for looks. There is no quality here or anything special about this mp3 player.

It will break 1 album into 5 different albums if more than 1 artist is featured in the song, so everything from one album will be scattered everywhere, it's a mess. Example: if you Sync a full Lil Wayne album and he has a song with Drake, or Birdman, it will not appear as one album it will be scattered as three albums in your Ipod. So imagine 7 different artist on 1 album the Ipod nano will sync 1 album, scattered as 7 different albums.
You can't use WIndows media player to sync your music, for example if you have 1,000 albums on Windows media player, Apple makes its product to not recognize it.
This product comes with no instructions manual what so ever.
It has no time display of the remaining song.
It has no feature to erase the internal drive after you have added music.

The Built-in Nike+ support for voice feedback and syncing to nikeplus.com is a joke. I tried it sitting on the coach and let it run for 30 miinutes and it said my run distance was 1.3 miles after i stopped it. This feature is such a joke and scam.
The bluetooth is very poor. It didn't even recognize my bluetooth headphones.
I could probably go on for days and I've only had this product for 1 day, I will be returning it. The lack of features is nowhere close worth its price.

I would not recommend this product. I'm very disappointed. I was really looking forward to enjoying it. I don't think i will ever buy a Apple product again. It's just a overrated mp3 player that lacks so many features and the only nice thing is the compact size and color if you choose a color you like.
What's great about it: Compact, lightning speed transfers.
What's not so great: Read below, so many to name. Don't let APPLE take from your pockets with this poor product made in China.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's really not a bad album. I previewed it on Rhapsody and decided to purchase it. Listen to the album and you'll see for yourself. I personally really enjoyed 5 good songs from it so decided to purchase album instead since its only $9.99 and free shipping, it's not a bad deal.
What's great about it: Has about 5 good songs.
What's not so great: It could have more better songs and it's not the box set.

They put some effort and time into this album. It's a lot better than I expected and the production is good. For $9.99 and free shipping you can't go wrong. It's a great album to me. I'm sure you'll love it.
What's great about it: Good production
What's not so great: Not the deluxe album

What's great about it: Pretty good tunes.
What's not so great: Some beats are not so great.

It is actually good music, more than rap. Good album. The song meet you in the sky is my favorite. Glad to see they are coming along and actually making good music. Bone should be around for many more years.
What's great about it: Bone is making music now.
What's not so great: a few song.

For $11.99 you don't get the 3 bonus tracks. The album is only 11 songs. It should be 14. This should be the deluxe version for this price. The songs missing are do you believe, ghosts and caress. $9.99 and free shipping should be the price of a album like this. If not $7.99.
I pasted a URl of Deftones official you tube channel , the song diamond eyes.

Just copy and paste in your browser.
If your not worried about a extra $2.00 go ahead and get this album. I will wait a week after release to see if the deluxe is released.
What's great about it: Good songs
What's not so great: You don't get the 3 bonus tracks at this price of $11.99

This is a real good album. Im not even a Carrie Underwood fan. I listened to it on Rhapsody just to check it out. I was blown away, i liked it it has some really great songs. I bought the album at best buy. I havent seen the cover art or the entire cd yet but i listened to all the songs. They have some greats ones.
Change, Unapologize, Play on, this time real good songs.
If your a Carrie fan im sure you will love this album. She got me to buy it and i never owned any of her albums this will be the first.
What's great about it: Real good songs on the album.
What's not so great: A few fillers like any album.

All in all its a good album.
What's great about it: It has about 5 good songs on it.
What's not so great: The cd i agree is ugly and the packaging is cheap. Howard Benson way of saving a dollar.

Overall2 out of 5
2 out of 5Great picture and sound but a flawed machine
By jc0769
from Denver
I've been a Pioneer Elite fan for years and was enthused when the BDP-53FD came out and wanted to upgrade my BDP-23FD for the Marvel QDEO video processor, the SACD and DVD-A integration, faster BD load times, and internet streaming features on the 53.
The first unit I bought would not recognize SACDs. All other disc types worked fine, but SACDs would fail with "unknown disc". Returned that unit and ordered another one. The second unit played SACDs just fine, but would constantly hang on loading Blu Ray discs. The entire unit would lock up solid and I would have to unplug the power to get it to reset.
In general, I have to say as much as I love the picture and sound quality of Blu Ray, I hate the reliance on Java and the overhead with loading and menus. It is absurd that even on a new unit like this with "faster loading times" it still takes longer to start a movie than to boot a Windows computer, to say nothing of the problems this seems to create with unit lockups.
When the machine manages to load a disc the picture and sound quality is exceptional.
The other major drawback is problems with HDMI control. This feature must be enabled to take advantage of the PQLS feature (jitter control for PCM music sources#, which does make a nice difference to my ears. I have a Pioneer Elite SC-27 AV receiver which is compatible with PQLS and in fact this works well with my older player #the BDP-23#. However, with the BDP-53 the unit keeps switching the source on the receiver from BD to SAT/TV when using the separate HDMI connections as recommended in the manual for optimal quality #i.e. HDMI1 for video directly to the display bypassing the receiver, and the HDMI2 port for audio only to the receiver).
It is so unfortunate that Pioneer has let their quality control standards decline in recent years, especially unforgivable for the Elite line. These players are not inexpensive and in the past they've usually been well worth the money for audio/video enthusiasts.
If the reliability issues weren't disappointing enough, Pioneer dropped the ball on a few other operational elements of the player. On the front panel they only provide stop, play and eject buttons, and they've done away with pause and skip buttons; but far worse, despite what the photos show on their web site, the front panel display only shows elapsed time, no track/chapter numbers or pause/play indicators. You can view this information on screen with the Display button on the remote, but one of the main strengths of the player is audio not just video, and when listening to music there's no good reason to have the display turned on just to see track info, etc.
The disc tray is too thin and a lot flimsier that previous models. You actually have to pay close attention to making sure the disc is properly seated in the tray before closing or risk a jam up because the recess depth on the tray for the disk is so thin.
Finally, the remote control sensor on the unit is not very good. You have to point the remote DIRECTLY at the unit and even then you often have to press buttons repeatedly for the sensor to recognize commands.
It's a pity that a player with such excellent video and sound would be compromised by QC issues on the most basic functions which one can find working well even on the cheapest players.
It's lamentable that Pioneer has let the Elite line slide as they have and the only way they are going to sustain its viability in the market at these cost points is to seriously reinvest in building solid machines again. The outsourcing has been a failure and if this is indeed their first attempt to bring the line back in house, they failed here to do much better.

Breville designers re-envisioned the craft of indoor grilling. Dishwasher safe plates embedded with smart heating elements inspire pitch-perfect results. Top quality non-stick indoor grill with six height settings and integrated drip tray. Adjust the height to avoid crushing food or open it all the way up in 180° barbecue mode. Temperature responsive LCD display colorfully alerts when the grill is ready to go. Tilt the bottom plate to drain fats in the easy-to-handle drip tray. The grill unfolds flat to provide a large cooking surface.
What could possibly make it worth three times the cost of a Cuisinart or the George Foremen?
One review stated, "Better than a Foreman" Uh... in what way that could justify paying three times the price of the George Foreman?
It has temperature control. You can preheat it. The grill beeps and lets you know when you have reached your desired temperature. The plates are removable. The drip tray is better.
