Zune - points from a long time MP3 player user who never had an iPod

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 21:58:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - There are probably many resources that will help you compare the specifications between the Zune and iPod, and honestly, the devices are probably about equal if all you want to do is listen to music. However, I write this review from the point of view...

It's SO yellow!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - I bought my eTrex to help me with my racing homing pigeon hobby. I wanted a small, inexpensive, accurate GPS receiver to help me know exactly how far away from home I was taking my birds for training. Knowing the bearing from the release point...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - I'm no cellphone freak, but I do enjoy playing with gadgets. I got

the bug to lose the old analog phone and go digital a year or so,

but could never bring myself to it. After all, I rarely use...

Still going strong

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 18:07:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - After a couple of years, the PV-200 is still going strong. My wife used to use one of those simple $20 organizers that can be had at any drug store. She used it so much she wore off the lettering on the keys! One day the nasty of nasties happened.....

Your stylus may become dusty

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - I love my Palm. I've had it for two years and Graffiti has always been fine for me. I can scribble about 15 WPM on a good day. However, I just couldn't resist being curious about the GoType keyboard by LandWare. It just looked "too cool."...

Go Wireless, Young Man!

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 19:05:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - You don't have to buy a Palm VII to go wireless.

You don't have to subscribe to OmniSky or buy a Minstrel Wireless modem to go wireless.

If you have a simple Palm III and a digital cellphone, you may be so very close to being on the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - Get paid to read email, postal mail, and take phone calls! Wow, I was excited, just like every other reviewer, when this service was announced.

Nintendo Game Boy Camera: A $10 Wonder!

Fri, 8 Sep 2000 18:21:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - When I saw my local Wal-Mart selling this for $10, I thought, "Surely this is a mistake!" I flagged down the clerk and he insisted that $10 was the price for the Gameboy Camera.

Needless to say, I snatched it up for my eight...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - Communion will put the goosebumps on your arms!

I am no movie critic: I either like a title, or I don't, and I can't usually tell you why.

Communion, however, is a great movie in my opinion. If you're at all interested in the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - This year I took my family on our first ever out of town vacation. We chose Branson, MO, due partly to it's "family" reputation and somewhat proximity to our home in Omaha, NE.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - In this age of "everything for free" on the internet, it's hard to sort out the good stuff from the bad stuff. I don't know how many kinds of "voice over internet" type of products I have tried.

Finally, I had someone...

Plays Microsoft WMA's now. Cool!

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 14:05:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - I've already rated this device, but I wanted to chirp up again and mention that the Lyra now plays Microsoft WMA files! This advancement brings the Lyra out of the realm of ordinary MP3 player (of course, it played Real G2 files, already) and make it a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - This is a great toy for my three year old daughter. It was sent as a gift from a remote relative, and unlike many gifts from remote relatives, this one actually gets played with a lot!

The boombox plays the radio, CD's, and cassettes, and...

Thu, 25 May 2000 18:46:49 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - Is Mr. Spelling turning this good show into another "Melrose Place" type of show?

Don't get me wrong, I like this show. It's one of the few show I can watch with my eight year old son and three year old daughter. However, it seems...

The Pickup - Every new homeowner's must-have

Fri, 19 May 2000 13:28:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - I used to poke fun at trucks when I was a kid. You know, the old country music listening, beer drinking, football watching, hunting dog toting stereotype.

That all changed when I grew up and bought a house. As a new homeowner with a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - A free 800 number?!? Rarely do I get suckered into clicking on a banner ad, but when I saw uReach.com's pitch for a free 800 number, I wasted no time clicking through to see what it was all about.

The key feature to uReach is the totally...

Watch out Taco Bell

Wed, 3 May 2000 16:09:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - I don't know if I'd say Taco John's has "a whole lot of Mexican going on," but they do have a whole lot of variety for a fair price.

Once you discover that Taco Bell has pretty much run the gambit on how many different ways they can...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - Have you ever enjoyed a brand of cola so much you wanted to have a professional fountain tap installed in your home? If so, then you understand how getting a "big internet pipe" in your home can feel.

Verizon Mobile Phone Service in Phoenix: A lot of minutes, a lot of cash?

Tue, 2 May 2000 01:26:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - I hate paying anything over $20 a month for service on just about anything. This includes the service for my new digital telephone. However, I'm a sucker for the "nickel-and-dime" death.

For $29.99 a month, I get 250 minutes per...

Great entry level camera

Sat, 29 Apr 2000 02:37:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - I'd always wanted a digital camera, but thought they cost too much. My wife knew this, and utterly surprised me when she gave me the Polaroid PDC-640 as a gift.

I was slightly spoiled on a mega-pixel camera I had borrowed from a friend, but...

The "Thinking Person's" MP3 Player

Fri, 28 Apr 2000 17:14:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author scottredd - I've been watching portable MP3 players for quite a while now. I've watched them start out as dinky little devices barely capable of holding more than just a few songs. I've seen them with nothing more than a digital numeric display to tell the user...
