Love it for the extras beyond DVD playback

Tue, 20 May 2003 10:08:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - I'm no expert when it comes to what to look for in DVD players with regards to playing DVDs. By nature, I don't like watching movies; I just don't typically like devoting 1+ hours to watching a TV screen. So this review won't concentrate so much on...

If the price is right, it’s worth a look

Mon, 19 May 2003 18:45:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - The Inspiron 5100 should be on your shortlist when comparison shopping for a laptop that doesn’t fall into the thin and light category. I priced this laptop out over a month ago and with various Dell promotions and I’ve yet to come across...

The laptop bag that doesn't look like one

Sun, 11 May 2003 02:25:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - My top two concerns when looking for a bag to carry my new laptop was (1) the ability to carry the bag as a backpack, which I find most comfortable for carrying items and (2) ensure that the bag doesn't look like it has a laptop, why...

Does the job loud, but well

Fri, 9 May 2003 15:05:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - As a previous review stated, you should verify in your particular situation that this Zip drive is what you’re looking for. In my case, I just bought a laptop without an included floppy drive and moved my existing desktop computer to the basement...

Good, but the new RP-35K is better for mp3 playback

Tue, 6 May 2003 18:09:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - I hardly watch movies. I tend to not like the concept of watching movies in general, too much time devoted to one thing. I'm more of a music buff, so I can't give any good analysis on the quality of the experience playing DVD movies on this player...

This is the one you've been waiting for

Mon, 9 Apr 2001 16:56:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - UPDATE - Firmware Keeps Getting Better!

A funny thing about the RioVolt is that a company out of Korea, iriver.com also sells a RioVolt like clone which recently released firmware 1.20 for its player. This firmware works on the RioVolt...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - Update...

My original opinion is noted below. The overcharging issues have been resolved for about 3 months now and our bills have been appearing correctly. With the minutes you get and the price you pay on a shared plan, Voicestream can't...

I must be lucky?

Mon, 19 Mar 2001 17:07:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - I saw that Epinions has the 7200i available for review. This model is no longer being sold, but perhaps this information might be of use to someone who may be looking to buy a used model.

The 7200i is actually made by Phillips, not HP. It's...

Great TV, but picture-in-picture feature less than desirable

Thu, 8 Mar 2001 23:13:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - There's plenty to like with this JVC 32". Great picture display, great stereo sound (with bass and treble control), and S-Video capability as well as standard RCA jacks. I've always been partial to JVC having the best display for the price. There are...

Buy it to laugh, buy it to annoy others.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - I've heard the albums of Shatner rapping to "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", his counterpart Spock doing "If I Had a Hammer", Joe Pesci's Italian-Mob-Guy-Sings, and other notables. I really rank this as my all time favorite off-the-wall recording...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - ***Update***

I would strongly suggest anyone interested in purchasing this phone to first see what version of firmware the phone has prior to you agreeing to purchase it from the cellular provider.

an oldie but a goodie

Tue, 6 Mar 2001 16:56:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - When the PMP300 first came out, it was the first portable mp3 player mass marketed to the masses. The RIAA sued, lost and now digital mp3 players have flooded the market. Although dated in memory size and display capabilities, this player still does...

A must if you have mp3's and an Ericsson phone that supports it

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 18:11:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mvirata - I have been impressed with the HPM-10 that works with the newer Ericsson phones. This attachment plugs into the bottom of the phone and allows you to listen to mp3's and control the mp3 playback using the phone.

The entire package consists...
