Good case that still shows off the iPod

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 08:53:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jakeblack - This is a review of the Agent 18 clear case for iPod Touch 2G; its not just a review of a screen protector (as the epinions product description states - wrongly, I think), its the case. The case does come with a clear/stick on screen protector as well,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jakeblack - OVERVIEW This is a review from an owner perspective. This is a car I carefully researched, chose to buy and have driven daily for a while. So you are getting some real feedback and not just the result of a quick walk around and a test drive. This...

STS V6/AWD luxury performance model

Thu, 18 May 2006 12:05:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jakeblack - Rather than make this a sweeping overview of all configurations of the 2006 STS, I will focus this on the V6 model, with all wheel drive (AWD), with the popular 1SC (luxury performance package). I have come to know it in-depth as an owner, so my...

About as close to perfect as you can get

Rugged watch for outdoors

Thu, 26 Jan 2006 16:51:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jakeblack - This watch is marketed as a "navy seals" watch, but this is not really what the navy seals are wearing. The luminox technology is used but this is not a watch right out of government surplus. That aside, here is my review of what is good and what is...

Good concept but not great in practice

Awesome Monitor

Mon, 28 Nov 2005 22:58:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jakeblack - First let me tell you, Epinions introduces this as an LCD TV - its not really. Its primarily a computer monitor (although you can surely watch DVD's on it just fine). It does not have a built in tuner or any speakers. It does have an S-video connection -...

Good Value for Home Office

Mon, 10 Oct 2005 12:35:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jakeblack - Overview: This printer comes loaded with features, and with current rebates out there, a good color laser printer for under $300 is hard to pass up. I was looking for something for my home office, where I could print my own color business documents...

Tue, 10 Jun 2003 03:03:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jakeblack - It's hard to get too excited (or too eloquent!) when writing about a hub like this. It's just a simp...

We're not worthy! This phone/PDA is AWESOME.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jakeblack - OVERVIEW

I will not repeat the stats (dimensions, weight, etc) available on the Kyocera website: go to www.kyocera.com and you can get all the stats on the phone, the latest pricing, etc. Besides, I know you are not reading this for the bland...

Mon, 3 Mar 2003 01:10:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jakeblack - OVERVIEW
