Designer Gomadic Black Leather HP iPaq 210 Belt Carrying Case - Includes Optional Belt Loop and Rem

Designer Gomadic Black Leather HP iPaq 210 Belt Carrying Case - Includes Optional Belt Loop and Removable ClipStrictly speaking, they aren't loops. They're slits through the back of the case that will take a 1.75" wide belt. It gets a leeetle difficult when the tongue of the belt is double thickness, but it still works. And a case that's so securely on your belt isn't going to be knocked off, the way a clipped case can be. It's a much more secure way to keep your expensive device from hitting the floor, ground, or, even worse, projections on the floor or ground.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Handheld Game by Tiger Electronics

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Handheld Game by Tiger ElectronicsOn the 18th, I managed to get ahold of 2 Tiger electronic LCD handheld games for $20 (total). Those games are a fresh version of Sonic 2 and a Power Rangers licensee. Sonic 2 was a blast when I learned how to play (See my review of that game for a full explanation). Power Rangers, on the other hand................Is a mixed bag.

The gameplay, at first, seems like a side-scrolling beat 'em up game. However, it also involves deep strategy, as you'll never know what your enemies may possibly do to attack. Either they jump-kick, or they stay on the ground and punch. As simple as it miiiight sound, playing it is a different story, but the result can be pretty fun. HOWEVER, it is nonetheless a difficult game. At first glance, your health would deplete practically rapidly.

As the game is already kinda hard, there are other aspects that make the whole thing a flawed experience. You can call in another Ranger, which is cool, but while he comes in to help kill bad guys, you have less room to maneuver. Another thing is that morphing ACTUALLY DAMAGES YOU! A signature feature from the Power Rangers, and it hurts you. That's just like that crappy Wolverine game for NES, in which taking out the title character's claws injures him! It's pathetic!

So that's Tiger's Power Rangers game for ya. It's not bad, but it isn't good. It bugs me how Amazon (and maybe ebay, too) offers this game at big prices compared to the Sonic 2 LCD game. And that game is much better (Although I WILL say this has better sound, considering there's no "music")

SVP PS410 Black 600dpi Colour & Mono Handheld Scanner

SVP PS410 Black 600dpi Colour & Mono Handheld ScannerReally impressed with this tiny scanner's performance!

I got it more for its small size rather than its mobility, but it's definitely got both! VERY compact. Produces really nice color scans and is easy to use.

Personally, I most appreciate things that have been stripped down to their bare functionality, which is what this is. A very tidy product. Worth more than the price!

I just received this little gadget. Set up in a jiffy and produced amazingly clear scan. Very compact. Should be vey handy. And a very low price compared to other similar scanners.

45W MagSafe2 Power Adapter For Apple Macbook Air A1436 A1466 MD223 MD224 11"13"

45W MagSafe2 Power Adapter For Apple Macbook Air A1436 A1466 MD223 MD224 11'13'Use for: Macbook Air 11" 2012

So far this charger has worked well. Charge times appear to be similar to the Apple model. It resembles the Apple charger but it is a little bigger and the connector is not the metallic connector Apple uses.

Be sure to REMOVE the, hard to see, plastic from around the Mac connector piece otherwise it may not charge properly.

Also the charge light stays on longer then the Apple model does when you disconnect it from the Mac. I'm hoping this isn't some capacitor problem.

It does not come with the heavy duty wall extension cord but that can be purchased separately if you need it. I didn't purchase the extension.

I recommend this based on the very reasonable price, less than 1/2 the cost of the official Apple model, and the similar results..

I needed an extra charger for my MacBook Air so I didn't have to shlep my original to and from work. Great price and it is still working ok.

Quality is nearly OEM. As long as it keeps working, this was a great buy! Keep in mind it doesn't include the extension cord half, just the half from the power brick to the computer, which is all you need unless you need extended reach.

I have found this charger to be a worthy replication/spare of the charger that came with my MacBook Air (2012 model). The fact that there aren't many generic ones with the MagSafe2 concerned me, but this one is very compatible with my laptop and operates in exactly the same way as the original.

Compaq iPAQ 216198-B21 Dual Slot PC Card Expansion Pack for 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900, 5400 series

Compaq iPAQ 216198-B21  Dual Slot PC Card Expansion Pack for 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900, 5400 seriesThis is a great expansion pack to own. Slide it on and "Tah ding" your connected and ready to go. I chose to go with this instead of the CF expansion pack because of the flexability of options. You can use 2 CF cards (with the use of CF card Adapters, it does come with 1), or 2 type II PC cards, or 1 CF card and 1 type II PC card, or 1 type III PC card. It also has a built in battery pack to extend how long you can use your iPAQ between charges. By the way if you have a charger for you iPAQ, which I'm sure you do, It will charge the battery in the pack at the same time you charge your iPAQ.

If you are looking for a compact expandable solution, this pack is "not" what your looking for. The straight truth is it's bulky. The pictures you see on the web make it look thin and are misleading. However if you don't mind the bulk I'm sure you'll reap the joys the flexibility of this unit will bring you.

The only reason I give this 4 stars out of 5 is I wish it had a screen cover built in so I could toss it in my bag when I'm on the go and not worry about anything buggering up the touch screen, or pausing the media player when I'm listening to MP3's.

I needed a replacement of my old dual CF sleeve. I wanted a dual slot because that serves my setup with one slot used for a CF-memory card holding lot of GPS maps. That was the only one I found (I realize this is long extinct hardware).

I was attracted by a dual slot , additional battery was an extra bonus.

This is a PC slot, so to be used with CF there should be an adapter. That did not scare me, because description clearly mentioned it is included in the shipment. It was not. To the fairness to the seller, they offered me to send an adapter. But the battery did not charge even after overnight charging. Again, I realize this is an equipment that probably was manufactured about a decade ago and battery just quietly died without initial use. But battery adds a lot of dimension (really) and at that point I did not want to have extra probably half of inch for the non functional piece. So altogether I returned it. Again, to the fairness to the seller they offered me to give a small credit, but you would be better off buying one CF slot sleeve without adapter and battery for about ten dollars. So I returned it. Two stars for the seller's efforts to work with me, none for the product.

The case in just a touch too big for my HTC View. From the picture I thought that the keyboard would fit inside the case but the actual keyboard is much bigger. But all in all the keyboard paired and connected to my tablet with no problem and works great. It seems to hold a charge for quite and while where I only charge it on the weekends.

PDair Red Crocodile B41 Leather Case for Motorola DROID 2 A955

PDair Red Crocodile B41 Leather Case for Motorola DROID 2 A955I searched for hours it seems to find a case I liked, with the features I wanted. I looked in retail stores and on the Web. This was the only one that fit the bill. I ordered this case for my Droid worldphone. It's totally awesome. Here's what I like about it:

I've dropped it several times already, and the case protects the corners of the phone

it's easy to open quickly, and the cover folds back outof the way when using the phone

it looks sharp and I get lots of compliments

the keypad is protected by a clear membrane

The only possible thing I wish it had it's missing a little pocket or place to hide a credit card or $, like when you go for jog and take your phone and want to have some $ with you too. But it's fine. Phones can ruin the magnetic strip on credit cards, so maybe just as well. Also, the phone is a very snug fit in that case. If you need to take your phone out of the case regularly, it would be too much hassle I think.

As a fun aside, at the time I ordered, this case was only available from a seller based in Hong Kong. The downside is that it took a few weeks to arrive. The upside is that the package arrived with all kinds of postage stamps, shipping stamps, and hand-written customs forms in Chinese stuck all over it. It was like receiving some exotic exciting package from halfway around the world, a little virtual trip to Hong Kong, something kind of rare in this global age where the corner store carries everything.

rooCASE Ultra Slim (Black) Leather Case Cover Cover with Stand for Acer Iconia Tab A500 A501 10.1-I

rooCASE Ultra Slim Leather Case Cover Cover with Stand for Acer Iconia Tab A500 A501 10.1-Inch Android Tablet Wi-FiI just recieved this case and I must say I am very pleased. All the ports are easily accessible except the microSD cover, and both the front and rear camera are perfectly centered in their respective cutouts. It is very thin, and adds almost no bulk to the tablet, which is good as it was already on the thick side by itself, but it not so thin that you feel the quality of materials has been compromised. The cover is stiff with a hinge for the integrated stand feature. There is no mechanism to lock the cover down, but that is a sacrifice I was willing to make for the thinness of the case. The stand feature works fairly well, it requires a little adjustment each time to make it steady in the more vertical alignment, but once you get it in the right spot, it stays put with only a little give when touching it. The more horizontal alignment is perfect for typing on a desk with the onscreen keyboard. The inside material is soft, very similar to the cleaning cloth which comes with the tablet. The tablet is held in by a small flap of material which folds under and velcros to the inside back of the case. It holds well, but does leave a noticeable bulge where the hook and loop pieces of velcro are stacked on the back side of the case. It is the only issue I have found with the case, but I can't figure another way to retain the tablet safely while maintaining the overall thinness of the case. When closed it is approximately the same thickness as my padded leather folio, and look and feel of the leather is excellent, very high end. If thin is what you want, I don't think you will be disappointed.

The case fits well. The only reason I gave 4 stars as opposed to 5 is because of the velcro enclosure that holds the tablet in the case. The velcro actually adds to the width of the tablet more than the case does. The case does cover the corners of the tablet, which was a must, and all ports and buttons are easily accessible. The case is not extremely durable, but it is however, a "ultra slim leather case". If you want additional protection, I would suggest getting something else. If you want minimal protection, slim design, and good look, this will do the job. I am curious how long it will hold up though.

This is my third case for my tablet since I got it. The first was a generic tablet slipcase. It worked but I hated taking it and out. My second was also a rooCASE, the bigger portfolio. It is a fantastic case but it became a bit cumbersome size wise for me. I had trouble getting it in and out of my purse. They did not have this ultra slim (or I somehow missed it) when I purchased the other. The one is actually slim enough that I can even slip it into the larger portfolio when I want more of the executive look.

This is a excellent case for the Acer A500 tablet. It fits perfect and has a nice feel to it. It is thick enough to give great protection to the tablet and the feature where you can stand the tablet up at any angel works great. There is one drawback but does not effect how I use my tablet. It does cover up the microphone. The microphone is almost impossible to find and it is not shown in the documentation that comes from Acer. It is located in the middle of the tablet just above the screen. You have to look extremely close to see it. The case does cover this up and therefore muffles the input to a point where it is noticeable. Since I don't use the microphone, it's a don't care for me. If you had the right tool you could easily punch a whole in the case and that problem would be solved.

As described still in good condition for my Acer Iconia A500, since 11/2011. Can turn it into a stand to watch movies. Has a nice flap to close. Only possible negative, you need to take the device out of the case and clean it for a thorough cleaning (You can clean as is on the case, but just for thorough, as it is hard to clean corners).

SanDisk SDCFH-004G-A11 4GB 30MB/s ULTRA CF Card (US Retail Package)

SanDisk SDCFH-004G-A11 4GB 30MB/s ULTRA CF CardThis card can hold up to about 1500 8 megapixel jpgs (give or take) which is usually more than I need in a single day. I also have three 1 gig Ultra II's and have noticed that they seem to be faster than the 4 gig version...but I usually don't need more than 9 pictures of an event in less than 5 seconds anyway, so this has not caused too much trouble. I have taken about 5,000-6,000 pictures on this card so far without any problems, other than running low on hard drive space because I end up taking more pictures due to this cards large size. So if speed is your main concern I recommend buying a few 1 gig cards or even moving up to an Extreme III, but other than that this card is a very good size for the cost and gets the job done.

I bought this in April for my new Canon 30D and it worked great until several months ago. When I would go back to scroll through the recently taken pictures on my camera it would start saying "Data Corrupted". It started out slowly then it would lose every third picture. I tried to reformat the card and got an error message. Now my camera does not recognize it nor does the camera software on my computer. It was a wonderful card while it lasted but I too am hesitate to get another one. Hopefully mine was a lemon too.....but then again.

I love the quality and speed of SanDisk cards. Nevertheless I must confess, after having an Extreme card, you do feel the difference, while browsing through the pics in the camera... I believe it's worth to pay the difference for an Extreme one. In all other matters, great product, reasonable speed (while taking / processing pictures) and good speed for transfering photos to the computer.

This seemed like a great card at a great price. Unfortunately after 4 months, during the middle of a paid shoot, all of the images instantly dissappeared. I stopped using the card, put it aside until I got home. I tried to use software to recover the images. Only a few could be recovered, the rest were gone. I've not been able to re-format the card in either a canon eos 5d, digital rebel, or using software on my computer. The card is now completely un-usable.

All of my older cards continue to work just fine. Hopefully this is just a lemon, although I need to replace it, and am obviously apprehensive about purchasing another one from Sandisk.

Want SanDisk SDCFH-004G-A11 4GB 30MB/s ULTRA CF Card (US Retail Package) Discount?

Normally I really like Sandisk CF cards. I have an Ultra II 1 gig that has performed flawlessly for over a year. I just recently purchased 2 of the 4 gig cards for an upcoming trip.

To preface I've had digital cameras for years. As far as digital SLR's I've had the orginal DRebel, 2 20D's and 2 30D's.. as well as a Nikon D50. I'm not a novice when it comes to these and to the cards they take.

Upon arrival of the 4 gig cards I put them in to check them. Both produced Err 99 on the Canon 30D's... as well as the Canon 20 D's. The only way around that Err 99 was to format BOTH CF cards on my computer .. and only then did they work in the cameras.

I have NEVER had to format an card before first time use in any of my cameras (including the other 2 4 gig cards that I own).

The cards are being sent back to where I got them, and I'm purchasing cards from a different vendor (and the Ultra III). It's my belief that it could be a batch problem .. as I am hearing others complain of this issue over the last month.

If you experience this problem, return them IMMEDIATELY to the vendor that you purchased it from. While reformatting them on your computer will work, there's a fairly good chance that the card could fail down the road.

Hewlett Packard 200LX 2 MB Palmtop PC

Hewlett Packard 200LX 2 MB Palmtop PCI used the HP 200LX when I was going thru grad school. The 200LX was of great use to me in doing all of the various computational assignments and testing that was required. The device out of the box is setup to run HP palmtop OS which makes us of the under lying MS-DOS. However I found the device to be more useful / powerful by using it's built it MS-DOS 5.0 directly.

As a student I used the device primarily as a calculator and a text viewer and editor. It will run most any program that runs on an 8088 desktop computer running MS-Dos 5.0. Also "some" software that requires a 286 based machine will run on the device. I have used the following programs on it:

* Derive 4.11

* Matlab 3.5

* MathCad 2.5

* Lotus-123 ver 2.4

* XtreeGold

* Turbo C

* MS Fortran

* Wordperfect

* MS Word

I bought mine from Thaddeus Computing, they have refurbished and enhanced 200LX units for sale. They can be reached at the following website,I bought one that has been speeded up by them and is referred to as a DoubleSpeed enhancement. I have had my 200LX for about 11 years now and it still works just fine and it is still my calculator of choice. So if you are looking for a powerful calculator like device the HP 200LX is still a good choice.

It is too bad HP stopped making the 200LX. Keyboard handheld devices (running desktop software) are currently not being made and that is a sad thing.

So, these were discontinued about 15 years back and technology has moved on but in some areas has not improved.

Would I recommend a young person buy one and learn to use it as a general purpose machine, no.

Would I recommend it for specific applications that are not offered now or if modern GUIs annoy you, yes.

Every year or two I buy some new thing hoping to replace my HP200LX and after a couple weeks I'm back to carrying the HP and the new toy is the bin of handheld castoffs.

ADVANTAGES:

Battery life, 2+ weeks on a pair of AAs, try that with a new machine.

Size, if fits in a pocket easily.

Screen is readable outdoors.

Keyboard, by using small keys with some space around them it is much easier to type on than similar size keyboards, good tactile feedback, just what you would expect from the best calculator maker.

UI, the bundle of applications is well integrated and the key bindings are the same for all apps.

you don't have to figure out cut and paste, help keys, save, etc. for every new program.

Storage, uses standard PCMCIA cards or more usefully now, a PCMCIA adapter with a CF card (about 300mb max limit).

DOS, if you have an old program you need to run, here you go.

Calculator, every bit of HP calculator software is here. Base N, financial, engineering, currency, units, graphing, and the best solver I've ever used.

rs-232, for talking to older devices, I use mine to program radios and CNC mills.

Built in application suite, the calendar, quicken, a real spreadsheet,...

and fast, power on, hit a couple keys, get what you need. When I'm with friends and we are scheduling a meeting or doing a simple calculation I have the data entered and am putting it away while they are still rummaging for the correct app.

DISADVANTAGES:

They are 15 years old, very few new ones are to be had and the used ones ore very uneven in condition.

Slow, you can double clock them but even that is only about 8Mhz.

Screen, no backlight, if you drop it many times or crush it you tend to loose columns.

The biggest mechanical flaw is the right hinge will crack if you open it too far or eventually may crack from fatigue.

OS, DOS is ancient and very few new programs being written

Connectivity, no wifi support, no graphical browser

After a decade I still find handy little features and things this will do that I had never known and do things new devices can't do. I break it out and people are always wondering what that thing is and are surprised what it can do, impressed until they find it has no internet access.

Buy Hewlett Packard 200LX 2 MB Palmtop PC Now

I'm old enough to remember the whole PC revolution starting in the early 1980s. I've been using an HP 200 LX since 1995 continuously at work (banking). This is, by far, the most useful, timeless, device I have owned out of all my computers, laptops, and even extending to today's smartphones. The 2 AA batteries last for weeks or months, are easily and readily replaced; the storage is virtually unlimimted on a PCMCIA card which can permits easy transfer of data to and from a laptop PC; the MS-DOS apps built in are extremely useful and can be run simultaneously!! (this was something even DOS desktop PCs cound not do!!) I have written entire volumes on the "memo" program; LOTUS 1-2-3 built in can handle anything you're smart enough to use it for, an HP12C financial calculator is built in. I could go on and on. Over the same 18 years I've constantly been relying on my trusty 200lx, computers have come and gone (remember Windows CE?). Even today, most devices don't fit in your pocket or eat batteries. I only wish HP would have kept making the 200lx and updated its features, (screen resolution, color, CPU speed, USB, etc., etc.
