Anker® Mini Wireless Keyboard for Google Android TV / HTPC / PC / Windows 8 / 7 / MacOS 10.x or la

AnkerĀ® Mini Wireless Keyboard for Google Android TV / HTPC / PC / Windows 8 / 7 / MacOS 10.x or later/ Linux Debian 3.1 with Touchpad / Mouse / Laser PointerGET THE RIGHT MODEL

This is an updated model of the KP-810-10, it's the KP-810-10A. The OLD 810-10 has a cut off corner on the right side for EZ visual distinction; make sure you get the 810-10A. "A" with no cut off corner. There are a lot of middle men sellers for this unit giving it differing names that omit the model number making it easy to buy the wrong one, if you are still looking around.

** UPDATE 5-5-2012 UPDATE **

iPazzPort has been coming out with "upgrades" to this model on a regular basis. I have spoken to the guy at unisen-usa. the USA distributor for iPazzPort. He indicated that the manufacture "iPazzPort" is currently, continually, perfecting their models. iPazzPort has already released two newer models than this (priced higher) with the most valuable added features being an IR learning remote function, air mouse ability & a back side Media Center circular clustered button layout. The KP-810-18V allows you to clone & replace almost any other remote you have with it. It also has a speaker & microphone wireless connection to your PC so you can plug the remote into a headset or headphones; making voice control possible to boot!

WIRELESS DISTANCE REPORT SELLER PERFORMANCE

I read a number of reviews where the units were not performing well as far as wireless distance and pairing problems. Mine goes 28 feet (I measured it) line of site & 10-15 feet through walls. I have not had to pair it at all; it just worked out of the box. (envelope in this case). Pre-Order, I e-mailed the manufacture about the distance problems; they indicated that older models do have a distance problem by replying, "new revisions don't have any problems with distance". (indicating the older revisions did & do). This seller has the new revisions in stock; at least that is what I got. The standard free shipping (USPS) took 5 days and arrived in a envelope with no paperwork. Documentation is included in the re-closing plastic, peg hanger' clear display packaging.

PERFORMANCE USAGE

The iPassPort KP-810-10A works as advertised for me, but keep in mind IT IS VERY SMALL & LIGHT! 2.25 x 6 and a 1/4 inch thick. It is made to be used holding it in your hands and typing with your thumbs, or one handed finger typing. The touch pad is small but works great, it's 1.25" square. You may have to fine tune your preferences in the MS Win Control Panel Mouse setup for your double tap and precision settings.

The buttons-keys are beveled up in the center making it easy to feel each one and confirm pressing them as they quietly click. The back-light works very well, but a little uneven light wise. My cat loves the red laser pointer & my fish are terrorized by it. It is a little awkward to use at first but would work in a demo.

5-5-2012 PERFORMANCE UPDATE 7 MONTHS OF USAGE LATER!

I have noticed I can no longer rely on the radio signal being sent when I press a key getting to the receiver. If I type a sentence I always have to go back and correct it. This problem seems to be getting worse. I guess its the ware of usage on the keys that is doing it.

BATTERY LIFE

I have had the unit for about 2 weeks now. I had to recharge it once (after the original charge when I received it). It lasted a week with pretty heavy usage. It recharged fast, 23 hours (I was not watching it when the light came on indicating it was fully charged). The unit does not seem to use much power if left on while not in use. According to what I read, it does not shut itself off after a time out period, but it does not seem to make much difference.

WHAT'S INSIDE?

I dissembled the unit by removing the 6 screws on the back. The 4 Volt battery is about 1.25 x 1 x .2 very small and not replaceable. There is 1 main PCB with the laser and transmitter-receiver as tiny separate components. There is no visible antenna but that does not seem to degrade it's performance. The keys don't fall out and are built into the face. It looks well made.

PRO:

It works as advertised and I no longer have a full size keyboard clogging up my remote control table. No distance problem for me at all. I have no regrets.

Perhaps even more attractive, the manufacture has been constantly in R&D on this product line; perfecting it and making future upgrades not only possible, but affordable. Even their high end units are under $50 USA

CON:

1. There is no SHIFT-DEL key for permanent delete. You have to send everything to the trash can first. (press FN-DEL

PS 410 Black(micro 8GB included)600DPI Colour & Mono HandyScan Handheld Scanner

PS 410 Black(micro 8GB included)600DPI Colour & Mono HandyScan Handheld ScannerWe have photos going back thirty years that have been sitting in photo albums that we never look at. Our goal was to transfer all of our photos and digitize them so that we could view them on our computers at our convenience. Using a hand scanner is a learning process. One must be patient and not try and scan too quickly. The results from the scanner are very good. What really matters is the quality of your photos and the computer program you are using to transfer them to your hard drive. This is a very good product that is more than adequate for the job.

rooCASE Capacitive (Black) Stylus for Le Pan TC 970 9.7-Inch Android Tablet

rooCASE Capacitive Stylus for Le Pan TC 970 9.7-Inch Android TabletDoesn't work as good as the ol finger, but I have a screen protector on my LePan Tablet also and that may be why it's not as sensitive to making a good contact with screen. Has intermittent contact with tablet screen but works fine on my LG Cell screen which also has a screen protector on it too.

The rubber tip is hollow and thin but the pen is a nice solid construction w/strap & plastic phone jack plugin for storage.

This is a great stylus but if you want to click down a lot then this is not for you. I love using it for art apps but anything else its just a pain to use.

LG Optimus G Leather Case - E971 E973 E975 LS970 - Flip Top Type (Black) by PDair

LG Optimus G Leather Case - E971 E973 E975 LS970 - Flip Top Type by PDairThe case is very nice. It protects the phone as I wanted. The only thing I would have added to the case is an opening for the charging cord to enter the phone. Then we'd have the option to keep the case closed while charging. Other than that, its very nice. With an addition for an opening, it would be great. The leather is soft and the handeling is comfortable to use.

Duracell DRINVC130 130W Power Inverter with 2.1 Amp USB Port

Duracell DRINVC130 130W Power Inverter with 2.1 Amp USB PortOverall this is a great little charger. My favorite feature would definitely have to be the DC plug since my car only has 1, and I don't have to buy another splitter to power other devices.

For powering a laptop, the AC plug works great.

The main reason I bought it was to power a HP Touchpad, which apparently the 2.1amp USB plug still has trouble doing.

The only other complaint I would have about it is that the fan makes a quiet ticking noise. It's just loud enough to hear; if it were more like a fan noise I wouldn't have an issue with it.

I initially was looking for an inverter with an extra 12V power outlet because I have a Soundfly Car FM Transmitter for SD card/USB/MP3 in my older car (which lacks an Aux input on the stereo), and the Soundfly occupies the 12V outlet all the time. Finding such an inverter which ALSO has a USB power port, and a 2.1A high-powered one at that, was a huge bonus. And the cup-holder form factor is very convenient. This product is brilliant; absolutely, totally perfect, or it WOULD be... And that brings us to some of the minor drawbacks.

For one thing, there is no On/Off switch on the inverter. My car never turns off its 12V socket, key in the ignition or no key. The Duracell inverter theoretically will disengage if the car battery gets low, but I'd rather not find out. That means remembering to unplug the thing every time so as not to leave the inverter circuits constantly live on the battery, which greatly lessens its convenience.

For another thing, the USB port is supposed to be a high-current 2.1A variety. However, my iPad2 doesn't seem to charge at full speed on it. The iPad SAYS it's charging, and the charge percentage doesn't go down, but then, it doesn't really go up, either.

Another minor complaint, the inverter fan generates a faint ticking buzz. It's enough to be irritating if you're sitting in the parking lot listening to something quiet, but luckily, once you're underway, the fan is easily masked by engine and road noise. I rarely notice it, and honestly, the Duracell is much quieter than the last inverter I owned.

(Also, there is only one of each kind of port. One 12V, one AC, one USB. For me this is perfect, but if you need, say, multiple USB charge ports, you might need to go a different way.)

I have addressed these concerns by: Ignoring the fan noise. Using my iPad on the USB port, and not worrying about whether it's charging at full speed or not. (If my iPad is REALLY low and I need it to definitely charge FAST, I can always plug its own little white charger into the AC outlet on the inverter. Shouldn't have to do that, but it works.) And finally, I installed a heavy duty lamp cord switch on the inverter's 12V power feed wire, so I can leave the unit plugged in in my car but turn it on and off. Thus voiding the product warranty, but for me, the increase in usefulness was worth it.

Overall, this is a highly useful gadget, I use it every day and am glad it's there every day.

This is a great little inverter for the money. It doesn't get 5 stars because of one very big problem--if you leave it plugged in, it will run your battery down if your vehicle continues to send power to the cigarette lighter even when the key is turned off. Luckily for me, this happened to me in a nice, heated garage, and I had another vehicle with jumper cables handy. Since then, I have been very careful about unplugging it every time I get out of the car. The cupholder shape fits perfectly into my car's cupholder. I love the fact that it has 3 outlets--(1) 12v outlet, (1) 120v outlet, and (1) usb charger port. I can charge my phone, listen to my mp3 player (powered by 12v), and run my GPS off the wall charger all at the same time. When I was researching to buy this unit, I spent a lot of time looking for one similar to this. There are cheaper and less expensive units out there. Very few had the size, power, and function of this unit. It's been great so far. It's never overheated (yet), and it is so quiet, I can't even hear it running, even with the car turned off. When I bought this, it was about $40.

rooCASE Executive Portfolio Leather Case Cover and Capacitive Stylus for Asus Transformer Pad TF300T 10.1-Inch TabletVery happy with this purchase. The product is exactly as pictured. It is a good heavy material that will wear very well. I like that I can easily remove the tablet from the case without dismantling the whole thing as this comes with its own individual tablet protector that is part of the case. They should of pictured it that way but they have not. The added pockets in the case are nice for scraps of note paper. Zipper seems to be of quality construction too.

The actual connection on the iPAQ 211 requires a 5-pin, mini USB Type B connector. HP Support also looked at a cable and told me it is a 5-pin connector. The specs on Amazon.com appear to be incorrect when stating it is a 4-pin mini type B connector.

I rate this item at 3-stars because Belkin cables sell for less.

Kodak 4x6 P461 Personal Photo, Slide and Negative Scanner

Kodak 4x6 P461 Personal Photo, Slide and Negative ScannerFirst, I have been using scanners and photography equipment for many years and like to think that I have realistic expectations when it comes new products coming on to the market. After receiving this unit, I promptly followed all of the directions for setting the unit up and scanning my first batch of photos. After numerous trial scans and several calibrations, I have come to the conclusion that this unit will not meet any of my needs. Some of the problems that I have noted include:

1. Odd color shifts appearing in the resulting scans.

2. Very noticeable noise in resulting scans at both 300 dpi and 600 dpi.

3. It is very difficult to obtain a properly cropped photo. The auto-cropping function is particularly annoying and there are no user settings to adjust how it acts. The whole point of having a scanner like this one is minimize the post production work necessary.

4. The instructions provided leave a lot to be desired.

Some redeeming qualities include the speed at which the unit scans, which is fairly fast. The size and weight also is very appealing. Most of the descriptions of this product fail to mention that it will also work on battery power which is a great selling point if only the quality of the output was acceptable.

In conclusion, while no scanner in this class and size is going to produce the kind of scans available from a flatbed scanner, this scanner leaves of lot to be desired with the scan quality. I expected better from Kodak. I will be returning the unit and spending my money on a different option.

This scans photos okay, although after about 300 photos there are significant streaks even though I cleaned the scanner like it said. The negative scanner works well and converts the image to a positive, color photo quite well. The slide scanner is the worst of the three, the images came out very grainy if the slides were even a little on the dark side. Kodak does not make this product, they have licensed their name to another company which makes it. I contacted customer support about the streaking issue, and even though they said they would get back with me, they have not in three weeks. This product does what it says it will, but just not very well.

I love the Kodak P461 for scanning our old mounted slides! It is easy and doesn't take too long to scan. We had lots of trays of slides but it was such a pain to set up the projector and screen every time you wanted to see your pictures of the past. Now I can just put them through the scanner and they download effortlessly to my PC and I can make DVD's if I choose. It can also scan up to a 4X6 picture too! They come out just as clear as the actual picture or slide too. Love it and I am having a ball looking at our childhood pictures! The scanner is also very small and easy to store which is another good feature!I would definately recommend purchasing one.

I decided to embark on a journey by digitalizing my family's photos. As it turns out, my grandmother horded tons of pictures (10 unorganized file boxes worth). I was using my 3 in 1 printer/scanner which worked fine except for the time it took. I came home from work to find it waiting for me on my doorstep. All you have to do is plug it in and put the sd card that comes with it in and scan. The picture quality is just as good as I was getting (all at 600dpi), so I'm pleased with that. Also, in the time that I can scan one picture with my 3-1, save it to my comp, etc, I've done about 10 with this! Maybe I have a really slow scanner, I don't know, but considering how many pictures I still have left to scan, this already seems worth it!

The only thing that this seems to work with is skype, and even then you can barely hear anything. I tried to use this to record my voice and I thought I hadn't even plugged it in correctly because it was so quiet. If you turn the sound all the way up and are in a silent room alone, maybe you hear a little, but it's such a waste. I've had this for a while and can't send it back, but it will be turned into a paperweight because it's useless as a microphone.

3M 497AJM 120V Portable Electronic Vacuum Cleaner

3M 497AJM 120V Portable Electronic Vacuum CleanerI do a large portion of my IT work on the road, visiting clients at their offices and homes.

Pros:

These vacuum is part of my mobile tool kit, and works great for this purpose especially considering that all of the attachments, power cord, and hose fit into the upper portion of teh case leaving you with a nice small portable toolbox shaped item.

This vacuum has a surprising amount of suction.

The vacuum was built by 3M for their own people to use and specifically designed to vacuum things such as Toner (which is one of the finest and messy particles that you will run into, you don't want this stuff blowing out the other end of the vacuum!).

This vacuum was also designed from the ground up to be used with sensitive electronics. It contains features to prevent static build up that can take place while vacuuming.

Very good containment of vacuumed material in the disposable filter/collection bin.

CONs:

Be aware that this vacuum is fairly loud. This is not normally an issue, but you wouldnt want to turn it on next to someone taking a nap or talking on the phone. In my case, I have to make sure I really let everyone know around me that I will be using it. I have also used the Metro Datavac Pro 2 and will say that the ONLY thing I like better about that vacuum is that it is quieter than this one.

This is an expensive vacuum, and it does use expensive cartridges. I put this as a CON, however I do feel that the costs is worth the benifit of this great vacuum.

Neither of the CONs is worth a star deduction in my opinion.

If you are mobile with this vacuum, you may also want to carry an extension cord --I have had to use my extension cable about 50% of the time in the field, much better to be prepared for that need than not!

...and I mean that in a positive way. This item was purchased for use in servicing commercial electronic equipment. Works fine so far. Excellent quality hose, the best I've seen. Only question: What's with the photo of clog-like foot apparel? These 'accessories' were not included with my vac, which was, by the way, mercifully simply and economically packaged.

Been wanting to get computer vacuum for my shop for some time but resisted do to the perceived static electricity risks. This vacuum addresses that area and has plenty of suction and attachments. This vacuum combined with a dust buster blower are the ideal computer chassis cleaning combination. I can only speculate on the savings we will accumulate by reducing the overheating issues causing failed mother boards, power supplies and memory as a result of clogged ventilation ducts on our computer chassis. Not to mention we will never have to purchase another singe can of compressed air. That in itself is a HUGE savings.

Thanks for the great product, on time delivery and a price we could afford.

My company provides document conversion (scanning) services for other companies, and we will typically process tens (sometimes hundreds) of thousands of pages through high-speed, sheet-fed scanners on a weekly basis. This causes a large accumulation of paper dust in our scanners, and they require basic cleaning daily, and a deeper cleaning each month. This vacuum is great for picking up and trapping the dust and toner that accumulates, and the provided attachments allow us to get into all of the little nooks & crannies inside our equipment.

Want 3M 497AJM 120V Portable Electronic Vacuum Cleaner Discount?

If you're looking at this, you already know that compressed air just moves dust around. You want something that removes it from your computers and other electronics.

For the past 10 years, I've been using whatever I had around to vacuum PC cases. Small car vacuums, the hose attachment on my Dyson ball, etc. To me, it was hard to justify spending hundreds of dollars on a regular vacuum for my house. So when I saw this product on Amazon, I skipped right past it. ~$200 for a vacuum that I'll only use on electronics?

But the cheaper alternatives on Amazon had pretty bad reviews. So they didn't seem like an improvement over what I was currently doing.

So I took the chance and bought the 3M. When it first arrived, I opened the case and thought "Oh no." I had the vacuum, but no hose, power plug, or attachments. For $200 I shouldn't have to buy these extra!

But it turns out, it's not really advertised in any of the pictures I see posted (so I'll post one of my own after this review), that the lid of the case, when it opens, contains a door that's held shut by a small strip of velcro. You remove the slip, the door opens, and everything's there. This alone is starting to make the $200 worth it for me -the convenience of the design. When closed, the vacuum is basically a closed toolbox with a handle on top. Everything you need is contained in there -nothing can be forgotten, fall out, etc. This makes it great for transporting it in your car, or carrying it around your building. There's actually a little extra room in the top lid so you can stash a philips screwdriver in there too, or any other small items you feel you might need when using this.

I plug it in and start cleaning, and I'm able to get every single bit of dust out of this computer. When using my other makeshift electronic vacuums, they had no problem getting the big chunks of dust that are highly visible and accessible. Vents, edges of the case, etc. were no problem. But they often left behind surface dust, so they still looked dirty. And some areas I couldn't get at all. The attachments you get on car vacuums and floor vacuums are meant to get in the corners of your house and car... but not in the corners of a small case.

But this 3M vacuum has a flexible enough hose and plenty of attachments to not only get the stuff you originally got in there to get, but also all of the surface dust. It makes things look brand new when you're done with them. You can get in-between PCI cards and RAM modules, get the dust within the individual fins of heatsinks, off the blades of fans, etc. If you can see it, you can get it. About the noise... it's about the same as the vacuums I've used before. It's not something I'd use at night when people are sleeping, and the pets still run when I turn it on... but it's about as loud as a vacuum is expected to be and nothing more.

I've only used it once, and that was my experience. Down the road I may update this review as I use it more often but it seems perfect. The only thing I'd change is to make the manual slightly thinner so it fits up in the lid instead of on the top of the white plastic box. It's not like I opened it before I started cleaning or anything, though. You can probably leave that out of the case if it bothers you too much.

rooCASE 3n1 Executive Portfolio (Red) Leather Case Cover with Landscape and Portrait View / Anti-Gl

rooCASE 3n1 Executive Portfolio Leather Case Cover with Landscape and Portrait View / Anti-Glare Screen Protector / Capacitive Stylus for 4th Generation iPad with Retina Display / the new iPad 3rd / Apple iPad 2The red leather is beautifully dyed, and the case fits the iPad 2 very well. The felt interior is also well-made. I love that I can take out the protected iPad from its case and put it back in when I need to use it like a pad of paper. In fact, people are often impressed and curious when they see me writing on the iPad during meetings, conferences, and work (I use NoteShelf, an awesome app!). The option to use the iPad within the portfolio case, like a pad of paper, or alone in its protective "sleeve" is the main reason I chose this case. People are often surprised when I take the removable iPad out of the case. The portfolio case is sleek and zips the iPad securely in. I use the Targus Executive Pen and Stylus, which requires me to stick the iPad as close to the zippered edges as possible so that it'll fit. I've dropped my iPad once when it had been removed from the case, and it survived with no damage.

The screen protector is matte and picks up fingerprints. You can easily wipe it off with a cloth, but you'd need something to remove the oils from your fingers. Partly for this reason, I often use a stylus with the iPad. Putting it on was a pain, as the "sticky" side attracted all kinds of dust in the room. However, you can lift it and try again, but I found that it got worse each time I tried to clean it and try again. I liked that the screen protector came with 2 removable layers--one on top of the non-sticky surface so that you can scrape out the bubbles without scratching or damaging the film, and one on the sticky surface.

As useful and great as the case and screen protector are, the stylus is another story. I found it rather useless. After using the stylus for a week, the rubber tip came off. I put it back on, and it came off again, again and again. The rubber tip is also too long, so it drags when you try to write on it. Frustrated with it, I bought the Targus Executive Stylus and Pen and the Bluecell 3-pack styli, all of which are much better when it comes to ease of writing and durability.

Dyed leather it's not always pretty, but they certainly dyed this one as perfect as possible, the color is gorgeous and uniform. The sewing and the finished it's perfect, it doesn't have one loose thread and the zipper seems that's going to last.

This is a very nice case. A very vibrant red. An eye catcher for sure. Has an executive look also. Multiple compliments, everyone wants to know where I've gotten it. I like that you that you can remover it from the zipper case to hold in hand alone. For sure would order again.
