Overall the game is fun; however, there are some bugs that cause issues. Sometimes there are lockups, and other times there are times when you are stuck in a specific area. The only way to continue the game is to restart the level.
Like most games this one progressively harder as you work through the game, and the final levels are significantly harder. Overall the game is a lot of fun, and worth the $20 cost.

Good tablet but understand it's only a $50 tablet

The new Amazon Fire tablet is surprisingly good, especially for the price. The performance is good, the size is good, and the weight is good. The biggest new feature is the expandable memory slot, which is something new for this generation of Fires.
There are a few downside issues, however. First, the screen has splotchy illumination from the edge lighting. There are numerous light/hot spots around the edge, especially at the bottom where the menu bar is. After a while you get used to it, but compared to other higher priced tablets it's annoying.
The software library is the second biggest issue. Amazon has done a decent job in adding new software, but it's app store is nowhere near as robust as the Google and Apple stores.
The last issue I have is the 90 day warranty, but that is how they keep the cost down.
Amazon developed the Fire tablet to sell other Amazon products, and this tablet seems to have hit a proper balance between that and usability. Web browsing is much better than my first Kindle Fire, and I think better than browsing on an iPad. The app that surprised me the most is the e-mail client, and how easy it is to use. In my opinion, it's a LOT better than the native e-mail client on the iPad, or a Windows tablet.
If the build quality as good as a iPad or Samsung tablet? No, not even close, but for $50 it's pretty good device if you don't mind dots of light around the edge.

Overall a good HD radio

Overall the radio works well in a residential setting. In an office it's subject to the interference found in most other radios; however, that is often not the fault of the radio as the HD signals are generally at a lower power than the base signal.
The radio is mostly a table radio but does run on battery if you want, so it's useful during a power outage. A nice addition is an extra wire antenna that may be of use if the built in whip antenna does not work.
Unlike the car audio market were there are a lot of HD radio options, there are very few home and/or portable HD radios. It's nice to see that Best Buy continues to offer a home HD radio and a portable HD radio.

What's not so great: The reception in an office building could be better

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.

In the shrinking portable MP3 player the iPod is still the king.
There is enough space to put a huge collection of music, and the iPod interface is easy enough that most people pick up on its use with ease. One interesting difference with the iPod Nano over the other iPods is that it has a radio. Even in an office the radio works.
There are a few negatives, however. The first is there is very limited customization available. For example, if you buy a purple one the screen is going to be purple with fixed buttons/icons. Second, the ear buds, while better than the first generation headphones, are still nowhere near as good as most third party ear buds. Note, however, that these negatives are very minor.
Overall it's amazing the this super small MP3 player has 16GB of storage. My first iPod had a 20 GB hard drive, was huge (in comparison) and cost a LOT more.
Highly recommended!

iPad mini features a beautiful 7.9" display, iSight® and FaceTime camera, the A5 chip, ultrafast wireless and up to 10 hours of battery life1. And over 275,000 apps2 on the App Store made for iPad work with iPad mini. So it's an iPad in every way, shape and slightly smaller form.

The proper size for a small tablet
on April 4, 2014
Posted by: radio2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
The iPad is the product standard, but you pay a hefty price for it. There are other lower cost tablets that have better features and specifications, but you can't go wrong with an Apple product if you are looking for a rich variety of applications.
Those familiar with the iPhone or iPod Touch will have no problems using an iPad, and that is also one of its biggest draws. The newer iPad Mini with Retina has a better display, but for most people the display on this first generation is more than okay considering the smaller size compared the full size iPad.
The biggest drawback is likely to be the older processor used in this device, but if you understand that the general life expectancy is around three years, save your money and purchase this one.

Soda Stream is a good product, but don't expect it to be cheaper than other soda (especially when purchased on sale). The best thing is having the variety of syrups so that you can switch without having a 12 pack or case of cans.

Does the radio provide better reception than an analog FM radio?
I live in a mountainous area. Is the reception any better than that of an analog FM radio? I live on the periphery of the listening area of the station I prefer. Recepton with my FM stero receiver is often poor.
It's not likely that you will get better reception as the HD signal being broadcast with the analog signal is lower power. The base analog signal needs to be fairly strong before any HD radio can lock onto the digital signal.
If, however, your station sends the same signal out on the analog and digital side you might get clearer sound IF the station's power is strong enough for the radio to lock onto the digital signal. This is because the digital signal either works or doesn't work, and when it does there is no noise and/or interference.
The nice thing with this radio is that it works with both the standard analog and the HD radio digital stations.
