I bought this product because the other one that I had did not work with my new Apple TV.
It switches very quickly. The remote is very small, which is nice.
I have been really happy with this product

The new Apple TV delivers an all-new experience with Touch andSiri, powerful new hardware, and great content, games, and more on the App Store. The Touch surface on the new Siri Remote offers innovative ways to interact with your TV, creating a connected experience with a screen that's across the room. With Siri, finding something to watch is as easy as just asking. And with apps, Apple TV allows you to customize your TV for personal and shared experiences in the living room.

Works good, interesting remote

The remote takes a few minutes to get used to it. I got this so i could use HomeKit with my ecobee thermostat
If you need to use a HDMI switch, make sure that you have a quality switch. I had a cheap switch and had problems with video out. Hooking it up to the TV directly, I was able to complete the setup. I purchased a Rockfish 4 port switch and that works just tine with the Apple TV.
Finding new apps from the TV app store is a little rough. There is a search, but that only works when you know what you are looking for.
I would suggest getting the Apple TV Remote App for your iPhone/iPad. That makes like easier to input usernames and passwords
I only use it for a few things right now, but I can see using it more in the future.

It works for me, better than I thought

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using the old white Microsoft Nature split keyboard for years. I have looked at this one before, but just did not like the feel if the keys and didn't want to replace a good working keyboard.
But the old keyboard finally bit the dust. Since this keyboard was in stock, I decided to get it and try it out. I need a split keyboard to keep my from having painful wrists. If it didn't work out, I would return it.
This keyboard has grown on me. It took a couple of days to get used to the key travel and feel, but it does work very well. After the break in period (my break in period, not the keyboard), I have been happy with the purchase.

Product was not what I was looking for
on December 19, 2015
Posted by: Curtterp
from Northern IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was not what I was looking for. I was looking for a product that I could just plug into my cars to read the error codes from the car computer.
This product is more of a glorified trip computer with cloud storage/access. Automatic is also unique in wanting you to have one for each vehicle you own.
I tried it out for a couple of days, but the main function does not work for me. To move it from one car to another makes you go through the setup process again, which is time consuming.
I finally got it setup to work with my second vehicle, and had a Check Engine light. I went into the app on my iPhone, and while the app said there was a problem, it did NOT IDENTIFY the problem to me. I then took the car to the mechanic because I needed it fixed. The fix was something I could have replaced myself and saved almost $200.
I returned the product.
If you are looking for a trip computer, with a lots of bells and whistles, this product might be for you.
If you are looking for something to help you diagnose a problem with your vehicle, look elsewhere.

Easy to install, works pretty well
on November 2, 2015
Posted by: Curtterp
from Northern IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first smart thermostat. I wanted to get a smart thermostat because my wife is home all day long and is not real mobile, so I needed a thermostat that I could control from my iPhone. I also needed a thermostat that could go from heating to cooling or vice versa automatically.
Setup - the initial setup has to be done at the thermostat, but it is pretty quick/east/painless. I basically used the defaults until I got the code, and then I used my iPhone/iPad to fine tune the settings.
Use - I do not use a lot of the features because someone is always in the house. I setup a schedule, but haven't used that feature yet. I did activate the remote sensor that came with the unit and will purchase a couple of more remote sensors. I like the iPhone app that shows me the temperature in the room that it is in. Once I get the other two sensors for the other two rooms, I will turn on the follow me feature and see if that works throughout the day for my wife. If it doesn't work well, then I can turn it off again. I will still leave the sensors up because I can keep track of the temperature in the rooms.
My advice if you get this thermostat, is to take it slow on the features, activate only one or two at a time to see how it reacts to your situation. The "Follow Me" feature made it hot in my wife's quilt cave (there was no sensor in the room) before I turned it off. It takes a small amount of time to understand which settings do what. I also suggest that you go through each setting, even if you think you may not use it, just to make sure what is available and what is on/off.
I am also sure that you will not be disappointed in this thermostat.

Exceeds expectations

This is my 2nd 40" Samsung that I have purchased for my house. The first one is in my wife's quilt cave and she just absolutely loves it. We put this one in her fabric sorting room for now (so she has Netflix) and it will go into the living room before football season.
Setting it up on the WiFi network was easy. It recognized both access points that I have in the house. Netflix has worked flawlessly when she is using it.
We also have a 32" Samsung (non smart tv) that we have had for over 5 years and it is still going strong with an excellent picture. We expect that same quality out of this unit.

So much better than the iPad Air
on June 12, 2015
Posted by: Curtterp
from Northern IL
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had owned the iPad Air less than a year when the Air 2 came out. I liked the specs of the Air 2, but didn't want to spend the money to upgrade at that time.
When Microsoft Office came out for the iPad, I had an issue with having only 16gig of storage space. Best Buy had a 4 hour sale soon after that for the 64gig Air 2, and a very good price. I decided to take the plunge for more memory.
The different between the two is noticeable. I didn't think that the difference between the A7 and A8 processor was going to be that much, but the Air 2 is faster and more reliable. I have less App closures than I ever had with the Air. It is nice to have the Touch ID with the iPad and I can't wait for iOS 9 to work with the multitasking.
If you want an excellent iPad, spend the extra money and get the Air 2

Works very well with my iPad

I purchased this keyboard to work with my iPad so I can work with my home email while at work.
The keyboard paired very quickly to my iPad, and I just turn it on and within 3 seconds, it is working with the iPad and I am able to start typing. The keyboard is solid, the keys are responsive and it almost feels like I am typing on my Macbook Pro.
I wish Apple made a natural (Split) keyboard like this and it would become my main keyboard for my Mac Mini.

How much disk space and is it SSD?
iPads do not have disk drives, they have NAND flash, which is the same technology as an SSD, but it is on the motherboard, not in an encapsulated drive enclosure.
There are 3 different storage sizes, 64gb, 256gb, and 512gb.
Each one has a different price point.

Enjoy crystal-clear conversations via your Bluetooth-enabled device using this Plantronics Voyager Legend SE 87300-13 headset, which allows you to use voice commands to take calls. Silicone eartips in multiple sizes help ensure comfortable wear.
any improvements since it came out in 2012 ?
I realize this has been an award winning bluetooth for 4 years, but has there been any technological advances for this particular headset since it came out ? I bought this model 3 years ago. Am I buying the same bluetooth again? It looks like it has the same specs as 4 years ago.
I replaced my older Voyager headset with this one recently. Although the specs are about the same, the battery is a lot better than the older one, since battery capacity goes down after a while.

Does it stream audio from your phone?
The basic Legend 87300-01 specifically says you can stream audio in the main product details. This statement and questions about the audio streaming are conspicuously missing from the info on the Legend SE 87300-13. Everything I read says they are the same, except the 87300-13 has a few more features. I have an 'antique' Voyager that has never streamed music.
Yes it does stream music from my iPhone. I listen to ESPN radio every morning when I go to work.

It comes with a SIM for Verizon. If you want to change carriers, you would need a SIM for that carrier.
