I got this to use for my Nook HD+, to use instead of my nook stylus. I decided to pick it up when I saw just how much more responsive this thing was compared to my nook's stylus. I had previously picked up one for my nieces touchscreen laptop and had used it on my nook when setting everything up for her.
That jibberish aside, this is a great stylus, very responsive, sturdy design. I think it could be better in a couple minor areas. Similar stylus by Rocketfish, include an ink pen, this one does not. I also wish it had a protective cap for the rubber end to keep it from getting damaged.
My Best Buy number: 2676822184
What's great about it: Sturdy design, smooth control
What's not so great: doesn't include a ink pen like similar designs by rocketfish
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got this keyboard for my father, as his older keyboard had been sitting in the closet for a year, and was very unresponsive when I hooked it up.
This Logitech made a superb replacement, I charged it the first time for about 8 hours, and it has been being used for occasionally by my father for nearly 3 weeks, and still the battery is going strong. The adjustable backlit keys and motion sensor to activate them are great features, they help preserve battery life, while allowing you the option to adjust the brightness to your preference.
I have absolutely no gripes about this keyboard, and even though I am a gamer, and tend to prefer gaming keyboards, I'm seriously considering picking up another one of these as a backup for my Logitech G15.

A good True Surround Sound Option for Gamers

I recently built a new computer with a High end ROG Asus Xonar Phoebus sound card, so I decided to pick up a good headset to take advantage of it.
The Razer Tiamat is a quality headset, but there are some things to consider before you jump into the pool as it were.
First, this headset uses a seemingly newer popular headband design. I find it a bit awkward. This headband consists of the outer Plastic band that is not adjustable(which allows the band to keep a snug fit with the ear cups), and the inner band that has the foam bands, and stretches to fit. Now at first it may feel very comfortable, but if you have a larger head, and/or use this headset for long periods of time. You may notice increasing pain, not only in your ears, but inside your head around your ears(caused by the outer plastic band forcing the ear cups to apply too much pressure). So be wary of that possibility, it is what led me to return my set. It sounded great, but I was actually getting headaches from wearing it for only a couple hours at a time.
Next up the cord itself is fairly long, however the cord length from the audio controller to the headset is too short in my opinion. I had pulled the controller off my desk more than once, just trying to turn 90 degrees in my chair.
I can't say much about the microphone, I didn't get to do extensive testing with it, the times I did, the people I talked to said I sounded just fine. Although I am not a fan of the pull out design of the mic, I was afraid I was going to break it each time I used it.
That all being said there are a lot of good things about this headset. They do sound good, maybe not as good as some very high quality single driver headphones using virtual surround sound, but they still do a good job, and they come with a variety of options.
Such as those presented with the audio controller, like being able to set up a set of speakers to run through them, and switching over to them at the push of a button. You can adjust the volume of the speakers in the headset individually, as well as the microphone via the controller. The controller itself is stylish, which you come to expect with razer products.
All in all, I wish I could have found a solution to the constrictor python that is a headband with this set, as I really did like them. Unfortunately I couldn't and ended up having to return them. That doesn't mean you will have that issue though.

What's great about it: Sounded good, has great audio controller
What's not so great: Awkward headband design, may be uncomfortable if worn for long sessions
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

2G iphone compatible?
The iPhone 2G needs a very small head phone connector, will these work with my iPhone?
Well I looked up the IPhone 2G and according to the info, it does use a 3.5mm audio jack, so these headphones should work without issue.
If my source about the audio jack was incorrect however, and it is a 2.5mm, that is easily solved with a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter. Like one seen at the link below.

What is the smallest size head these headphones can fit with?
Seeing if I should get these for my rather small 10 yr old brother
Well it is difficult to say for certain, as I don't have a cloth tape measure handy to measure your little brothers head =p
However the headphones do swivel, and adjust to fit a wide variety of head sizes/shapes. So I wouldn't be too concerned about that.

is the 10 ft cord akward or cumbersome?
It can be, the cord is a generic rubber insolation style. So the cable can get tangled easily. Personally I just let loose the amount of cable I needed, bound the rest with the twist tie. Then made an effort to straighten the cable I let loose so it doesn't get bundled, twisted, or tangled as easily.
