Very Nice Speakers
on March 3, 2009
Posted by: InfiniteT
from Seattle
I have an older pair of the series 4 for several years now and love them. they are now used downstairs in my dining room. These series 5's took over on my main entertainment system> They are great. The sould is very clear and crisp. Very defined clear highs and nice tight bass. Thier styling looks good and is well designed for great sound coverage. If i use just the two speakers and the sub, i still get incredible sound with a "surrounding" effect. When i listen to music, I use it that way. As long as you have a good amp and source, you will hear things you never heared before in the lower end sets. Low or even high volumes, it makes no difference in quality.
If you are looking for top shelf performance without shelling out thousands, there are a good choice and make a solid set of fronts in a surround system.
What's great about it: Top Notch

Some of the GREATEST music recorded
on February 26, 2009
Posted by: InfiniteT
from Seattle
What can I say, Zeppelin is some of the greatest music ever recorded. This is the complete studio recordings, as the title indicates. The box is a cool design and the CDs are set up "album Style". The included booklets contain the origional albut art and layouts.
The sound quality is supurb. The analog recordings have been remastered by Page himself, so you can immagine his attention to detail and preservation of all the subtle nuances of the origional recordings.
This is a great set for Zeppelin fans looking for digital copies of thier favorite music, or for new Zeppelin fans looking for a good way to get thier hands on their complete works!
As a hard core Led-head, i can totaly recommend this!
What's great about it: Absolutly great set

A True Gaming Headset
on February 17, 2009
Posted by: InfiniteT
from Seattle
Razer makes some of the best computer gaming components hands down. This headset is no exception. It is lightweight and very comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. The cord is plenty long wich is nice if your I/O jacks are a distance away, however is the are close, you end up with a pile of cable on your desk.
It has a in-line volume and mute control and the microphone is fully adjustable. The sound quality is outstanding! Sometimes it is hard to tell if i am hearing the sound thru my headset or my speakers. I do however have a high end sound card so that may make a difference.
These may be on the pricier side for some, but if you appreciate excelent quality and sound, they are woth the extra 20 bucks.
What's great about it: Outstanding!
What's not so great: Nadda

Good, not great
on December 21, 2008
Posted by: InfiniteT
from Seattle
I have had these for about 6 months and i am pretty displeased with them. They look good and have nice features but the sound quality is really lacking. No subwoofer may be a part of it because the low end is really missing here. At low volume they sound every bit as good a a cheep 20 dollar pair of speakers.. Turn them up a bit and it's a little better, but not great. The can pump out some sound but there is a real lack of fullness. My wifes computer, sitting right next to me is using the Klipsch Promedia 2.1, which you cant find anymore, and they are AWESOME and if i recall they were about 120.00.
Even with a very fancy sound card, "Creative Soundblaster Fatal1ty Champion Titanium" I cannot coax these speakers to give me a rich full sound. Im sure you could find bettter sounding speakers for around the same price. Maybe the Z2300's or something.
I have some older Bose equipment for my home theatre System that sound great. It seams though, in the last few years Bose is becoming more and more of a mediocre name that rides off of name recognition from the great stuff the once made.
What's great about it: Well styled and look good. Small footprint.
What's not so great: Sound quality isnt that good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

In short, I have a Dlink DIR 655 down in my office on the other side of the house. It does fine down in that corner of the house but over time we have added a bunch of various wifi conected devices (tablets, phones, ipods, etc) and on the farther ends and the upstairs of the house the signal would get week and slow.
I did a bunch of reading on the best way to extend the network signal accross to the other reaches of the house and even outside a bit. I have hard wired cat6 in the house but with a lot of little wireless devices I still need a strong wifi.
I wasnt sure about this extender idea since it basically creates a wifi network of its own that then wirelessly repeats back to the router. I thought it may slow things down. I was right. It did slow things down enough to that even a strong signal thru the repeater was slower than the weak signal from the router on the other side of the house. (Yes the repeater had a good signal to the router).
An even bigger deal is that it seems to isolate each wireless device you connect to it from others. By this i mean, even though the wireless connected device is connected and sharing the main connection to the outside internet, they dont see eachother. So all my little wireless devices can no longer stream music and video from the hardwired computers and NASes.. Something we do here alot.
I am no netwrok engieneer or anything but I know my way around computers/electronics and tech stuff.
So even though this did essensially exapand my wireless connectivity, the benifits are not worth it to me for what I lose. Since the speed of the weak signal from the source router is still faster than a strong signal from the repeater, this makes the repeater pointless to me.

Thanks for the offer but...
June 27, 2011
I returned the product just a few days after purchase. I bought a second DIR655 and set it us as a WAP. It works great and its speed is just as fast as the master router. I consistantly get 19-22Mbits down and 3.5-4 Mbits up. That range extender ran about 4-6Mbits down and around 750Kbits up. Just plain slow.
With just the master router and before adding the new one, on the far side of the house, with "low" signal, I was getting 9-11Mbits down and ~1.4 up. So you see a weak signal from the router was still much faster than a full signal from the extender.

Overall5 out of 5
5 out of 5The winner, ALMOST perfect. 4 1/2 stars?
By InfiniteT
from Seattle
I have tested each of the most popular Honeycomb Tablets ( Transformer, Iconia A500, and the Xoom) for about a week, and for me, the Xoom takes its place on the winners stand on my nightstand.
Here is why.
After testing the others, I found the Xoom to have the most solid, quality construction. The anodized aluminum casing feels top quality. Everything fits together tightly, there is no creaking, wobbling or flexing. The glass is smooth and allows for seamless screen gestures. The Iconia came in a close second for design quality and felt very solid too. It has a similar brushed aluminum back. But the top and bottom are a plastic bezel that wraps to the screen. The Transformer's plastic back did have some flex to it and just felt kind of "cheap" compared to the others. The "glass" of the TF felt thin and "sticky". Your fingers didnt glide over it very well and pressing the screen lightly, you could feel it flex as well.
Winner: Xoom
The display is razor sharp and crisp. Text is sharp and easy to read, pictures, videos, and web pages look top notch. The Iconia sceen looked very nice too. Its screen was even more "vibrant" than the xoom. However the dot pitch (space between pixels) was visible at close look and text was not as crisp. The Iconia only displays 256k colors (compared to the 16 million of the others) and I was able to notice the difference on colorful, high res photos. The TF was a good blend of both, vibrant and crisp. But the two I tested had HORRIBLE back light bleeding on dark images. Something the Iconia and Xoom didn't have.
Winner: Xoom
Each offers their own feature set. The Iconia has a full sized USB port and it worked well for keyboards, mice and a flash drive (FAT 32). The Xoom has an adapter cable that adapts the microUSB to a full sized USB and allows digital cameras, keyboards, mice etc. to be plugged in. The TF only allows USB connections if you have the keyboard dock ($150), its microUSB slot only seemed to work for PC hookup. They all have microHDMI outputs, mircoSD, blue tooth, wifi, and are dockable. The Transformer has a dock that is an actual keyboard that also adds 2 full sized USB, card readers and additional battery power. A cool feature if you ever want to turn your tablet into an "Android netbook". Its is an additional $150 as I mentioned. Since I am going to use my tablet as a tablet, the keyboard dock is not practical for me. So just as tablets, the Iconia and Xoom offer more. Another small feature of the Iconia is Dolby sound, which actually was a nice touch and sounded great coming out of those little speakers. The speakers on the Xoom sound decent for a tablet, nothing amazing though and only moderate volume. The TF's speakers souded dreadful. They sounded super cheap. The left speaker was louder than the right and they sounded tinny and weak.
Winner: Iconia (by a little)
Function: All these units pretty much offer a stock Google UI. I must say, am used to Android (i have had 2 Android phones) and Honeycomb is a great OS. Very slick and gets better as the kinks get ironed out. That said, the actual experience of this did actually differ a bit. The Xoom and Iconia were very smooth. Gestures registered instantly and the tablet responded fluently. The TF had the same smoothness, but the action actually seemed to lag behind the actual guesture by a split second. All of them performed well, none of them gave me any issues with unexpected crashes, hangs or force closes. However, overall speed, fluidity and just general user experience seemed to be a bit higher on the Iconia and Xoom. Something that is hard to explain unless you spend some time with each of them. I will note however that the Transformer had issues with powering itself on/off randomly, which is a known issue with some of the TF tablets. Also the Iconia had a tendency for the screen to momentarily come on on its own as well. That is, when "sleeping" it would come on and show the lock screen un provoked. It would shut off again after 30 seconds or so, but was a little disturbing at 3am. The Xoom has none of these issues.
Winner: Xoom
Accessories: Part of owning a gadget like this is being able to accessorize it to tailor to your specific usage. The Asus unit itself is currently hard to come buy, in most cases it must be special ordered from your big box stores. It is still unlikely (6/9/11) to walk into a store an buy one and walk out with it. The same can be said for the keyboard dock. I am unaware of any other device specific accessories for it at this time except "skin cases" and carry cases. The Iconia has a folio type case that is available now. It has provisions for a docking station (w/remote) and blue tooth keyboard. But as of this writing those are not available yet. There are also a few 3rd party skins and cases for it as well. The Xoom has been available longer and has quite a few different accessories that are quite good. The charging dock and blue tooth keyboard although a bit on the expensive side, are very good. On the other hand the official folio case, official skin, and the HD dock leave a bit to be desired. There are also quite a few 3rd party goodies available at various price points too.
Winner: Xoom
Winner: Xoom
Parting thoughts: Overall, all these tablets were good additions to the tablet world, each offering their own advantages and disadvantages over each other. For the price of the Asus, you do loose a bit of that quality and Asus quality control on them seems to have been a bit lacking. There seems to be all matter of various issues both common and random being reported with them. The Iconia seems to be a well made, well thought out tablet. If the screen had better pixel density and better colors, i think it would have been the winner. The Xoom just seemed to offer the highest quality construction, and the perfect amount of features, accessories, functionality and overall user experience. The one hangup I have is the microSD. That feature works just fine with the Asus and the Iconia. The hacker/Devs at XDA even figured out how to get it working on the Xoom, why the heck cant Motorola?? I sure hope they get that figured out...they've had 3+ months already! With more and more good Android tablets arriving it wouldn't hurt if Moto dropped the price on the Xoom $50 or so either. (In the next 20 days would be nice so I can take advantage of Best Buy's price match).
So, the Xoom is the winner, for now.

Update!
July 17, 2011
Well, the Xoom just recieved Android 3.2 and it enables the SDcard and has a feature cammed zoom that enables most of the phone apps and games to run quite well on the tablet! With the $100 price drop and the recent update makes this baby a solid 5 stars!

Cons.
- It is heavy to hold for a while, like reading a book, or watching a movie.
- It comes with a Movie Studio (the one in the advertise video that mocks apple) which sucks because THE VIDEOS YOU RECORDED WITH XOOM ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE PROGRAM, you need to download to a computer and convert to another format then upload to device and you can edit them.
- DOESN'T COMES WITH CHROME browser... the "browser" pre-installed, SUCKS, you can download firefox but you won't get the flash plugin for it, so, you have to navigate some pages with "the browser" and others with firefox or any other you install.
- Mine had 3 books pre-installed which NONE was able to open, so had to delete them, and download kindle app to read "other" books.
- No Notes or something to write built in... I had to download some apps for that.
- Once you start filling the disk with apps, vids, pics, music, etc, slow down the device a lot, while passing from one page to another or returning to main screen, etc.
- Crashes a lot. Even apps that are supposed made for honeycomb crash very often, you're in the middle of a game or reading news and crashes. Sometimes you have to restart the device because it doesn't respond.
- You have to download software to manage your files.
- Music app sucks... you better get another player app.

Pros
- Very nice resolution. HD videos looks awesome, videos and pictures taken with camera look great.
- It now costs $499.00 (which sucks for me because I paid $599 one month ago).

I'll stay with android instead of apple, I have an iPhone for 3years now and I like the app store, wish android market can be that nice one day. I just don't like how apple is treating their customers that's why I decided not to buy the ipad... but PLEASE google give us a good platform.

Android 3.2
July 24, 2011
Android 3.2 has just gone out for the WiFi Xoom and activates the SDcard AND has a new feature that allows MOST "Non-Tablet" Android Apps to work on the tablet... awesome! If you are still within your 30 day period go back to Best Buy and get a price match done.. I did and got 100 back!

Xoom would be by far "THE BEST" tablet ever if the video chat software was better created. Skype video chat is non existant and Yahoo Messenger/Yahoo Messenger Video Chat is non existant. The ONLY way to do a video chat is with Google Talk.

Autofocus

This camera most CERTAINLY DOES support auto-focus as long as you have a lens (the one that comes with it does) does and it is turned on on the lens and camera. Perhaps you were referring to zoom?

WHAT SIZE SPEAKER IN DOOR AND IN BACK SEAT?
CAN I MIXED UP THE BRANK NAMES OF THE SPEAKERS?
Can you mix the brand names of your speakers?
Well yes. Most of the time, new speakers are sold in pairs anyway. So say you had a pair of Pioneers in the front of your car and a pair of Infiniti's in the back, that is perfectly fine.
Now say you had a Pioneer in the left front door, and an Infiniti in the right front door. Since the speakers are most likely constructed differently and with different drivers, your sound would probably sound a little unballanced. Keep em in pairs and youll be fine.
