SanDisk 8GB MicroSDHC Memory Card with MobileMate Reader (Retail Package)

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Electronics
from: SanDisk


Works as advertised. The USB interface that comes with it makes transferring files to the card much quicker than using ActiveSync with the PDA connected. The price was great too. I can't wait until the 16G cards come out. Every once in a while my phone can't see the files. I reset the phone and I can see them again. I'm not sure if it's Windows Mobile or the card.

Brother PT-1950 P-touch PC-Ready Labeler for Small Workgroups

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Electronics
from: Brother Printer


This item is a winner. It was purchased based on my brother-in-law's recommendation of a smaller model. I am using it strictly for home organizing tasks and find it easy to use, fast set-up, and good labels for shelves, boxes, etc. Haven't tried the computer functions yet. But would definitely recommend this for making labels for home use. There is one proviso which I would note to the manufacturer. It is tough to figure out which of the label tapes fit each model. A better system is needed to identify them with the appropriate machine. To give an example, it would appear that all TMZ model labels would fit this one; it's not true though. Be careful about this when you purchase the labels.

Canon PSC-55 Deluxe Leather Compact Case for SD430, SD500, SD550, SD600, SD630, SD700IS, SD800IS, SD850 IS, SD900,SD950IS & SD870IS Digital Cameras

Good:
Great case for transport of the camera.
Amazon's low price.
Snug fit (but read the 'bad' section below)
The lip of the case has a hole in it to allow the camera's wrist strap to pass through, but it is often easier to not utilize this feature.
The case closes with a button clasp and it has a weak magnet in it.

Bad:
Good snug fits for my Canon 890 IS; the snug fit make it cumbersome to take the camera out if you need to take a picture quickly.
NO SPACE for the charge, cables, battery, or another memory card.

Sony 2 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo (MSX-M2GS) (Retail Package)

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Electronics
from: Sony


It is one of several I use in Sony Products. It always works well and over the last several years I have experienced no problems with it. 3rd party memory sticks like San Disk also work well. The vendor was very quick to process and mail it out, and the price was "not bad." When I need Sony Pro Duo memory I go with whowver is less expensive that day--Sony or San Disk. I use it in my Sony Laptop, and several Sony cameras, as does my spouse.

Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Electronics
from: Samsung


This is a really nice TV, especially since right now the price is just over $1k.
Pros: Great HD picture - this includes HD television stations (for me output from a digital HD cable box at 1080i through an HDMI cable) and Blu-Ray. Standard DVDs upconverted to 1080p then sent through HDMI look pretty darn good - some pixelation and color variations here and there, but mostly looking good (also depends on how new the DVD is - newer looks better). The picture is near perfect. That's all that needs to be said there. Set-up is fast, the TV is not that heavy, and the swivel stand is great. Menus are fairly straight forward, although in my opinion there are too many menu options - great if you are a perfectionist and really know what you are doing when ... Read More:

Logitech Z-2300 THX-Certified 200-Watt 2.1 Speaker System

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Electronics
from: Logitech


This system has been the biggest (pleasant) surprise of my Amazon buying experiences. I was looking for a decent speaker system for my desktop Mac and saw the reviews for the Logitech. The reviews were 5 star, and numerous, so I thought I would give it a try; am I glad I did. Set up was straight forward with color keyed speaker plugs and the desktop control for volume/bass and on/off switch is very handy and natural to use. THESE SPEAKERS ARE GREAT! When playing them for the first time, I didn't expect to try them for over an hour... I couldn't stop playing cuts from my itunes library! The bass output is awesome and can be dialed out when not listening to music or a movie. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 -Slate

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > Electronics
from: Microsoft

September 23, 2004
I thought I'd give Microsoft a chance with the notebook mouse as a change from the Logitech I use on my personal laptop. I have had this mouse less then a year and the scroll wheel has gone bad. The scroll wheel intermittently goes out and there is no longer that distinguishable "bite" when turning... then the bite comes back and it works again.

The scroll wheel was just the last straw. Firstly, battery life is terrible. I would say between 3 to 4 months tops. It only uses a single AA battery compared to the Logitech's 2 AA. As a result the Logitech 4 times longer.

Secondly, the mouse is very unresponsive at times. I don't know if it has a sleep mode or goes into power save mode, but it doesn't track well at times and is sluggish then "wakes ... Read More:
