Can't go wrong with this one.

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 19:17:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - First, a qualifier: Since there are already 3 other reviews of this player on Epinions (which I have not read yet, in order that my own review is not influenced), I will not be making a comprehensive review of this. Rather, I plan on concentrating on my...

Easy to install and use.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I've had a number of Cateye bike computers over the years, starting with the Cateye solar in the '80s. I used that one for over a decade. My most recent computer was getting close to breaking some wires (NOT a Cateye, BTW), and I looked at the choices...

Well thought out and useful. Love it!

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 23:23:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I picked this up after staring at it in the store and reading what some others had to say. I really like the ability to carry it like a backpack, but easily get at the contents. I paid $69 for it at a big box electronics store. This is a variety of...

Useful both on and off the bike

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I bought this handlebar bag in order to carry a medium sized camera with me while riding my bicycle (A Canon Powershot S5 IS). I paid $38 for mine at a large outdoors and sporting goods chain. It works nicely for my purpose. The size of the bag is just...

Lensmate Powershot S5/S3/S2 IS 52mm lens adapter: A simple device that adds a lot of capability

Mon, 1 Oct 2007 21:54:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - My biggest frustration with my new Powershot S5 IS is the lens cap that falls off too easily, risking it getting accidentally scratched. h

I'm officially in love with this camera.

Sat, 15 Sep 2007 17:14:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I bought this as a replacement for another camera with which I was unhappy with the image quality. I was also looking at the S3 IS in addition to this one. The S3 was only $50 more than the one I was returning, at $300, while the S5 was $400. I went...

Maximum bang for the buck

Sat, 1 Sep 2007 16:28:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - This camera is actually identical to the Finepix S700, which has already received some very thorough reviews by a number of other Epinions members, so I am just going to touch on my own likes and dislikes on it. Please don't take this as a detailed...

This one stays in my toolbox!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - My previous favorite flashlight shared batteries with a cordless drill, and that set is sadly no longer functional. But, that just gives me an excuse to go gadget shopping! The form factor of this light is handy. Folded up, it handles like a...

They just sound great!

Sat, 30 Jun 2007 15:46:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - Physical construction: These are the variety that sit outside the ear, resting againt them. They are a brushed aluminum, either in silver, or painted black. They have a heavy-metal styling to them, with 4 allen-head screws holding them together. Razer's...

Good idea with a major design flaw

I have to say that the keyring case for it misses the mark. It's a nice idea, not expensive at all (I paid $10 for it) and different...

Does the job at the right price

Sat, 9 Jun 2007 22:27:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - This replaced a 12V Black and Decker drill I had been using for the last 6 years. The batteries for that one had worn out, rendering it useless. Of course, the batteries have changed and I could not easily find replacements, so it was time for a new one...

The Stone Rocks!

Tue, 5 Jun 2007 00:01:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - Note 11/9/07: Somehow the image attached to this review is now that of a set of creative brand speakers, rather than the MP3 player this is about. First off, the Zen Stone is a "Me-too" product, but a very well done one. As the appearance suggests,...

Good way of storing your earbud cords

Sat, 2 Jun 2007 15:53:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I picked up a pack of these yesterday and find they work exactly as advertised. I suppose Belkin is trying to jump on the IPod bandwagon with the marketing for these. Labeling them as "for IPod" probably ensures they get placed in with the IPod...

Like it, but with some reservations

Sat, 26 May 2007 18:01:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife. She had been wanting a digital camcorder for a while, and after hearing about this on a podcast, I decided it would be perfect. The C40 is actually a model that has been on the market for about 3 years...

The common stapler evolves into a superior life form

Sun, 20 May 2007 15:07:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I had seen these on endcaps at the office supply stores for a while before I finally picked one up on a sale. I had not thought there was much that could be done with the common stapler and it was just a gimmick. I was wrong. The PaperPro staplers...

My second MuVo. I love it!

Sun, 22 Apr 2007 14:32:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - This is my second MuVo. It is replacing a 256 MB MuVo TX FM that I have been using for the last 3 years. h

I have been very happy with that one, and simply wanted some more...

Very pleased, with one problem

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 01:48:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - This is my third bluetooth headset and the one I plan on continuing to use. It's comfortable and plenty loud to hear it over road noise while driving. When not using it, I like to keep it in my pocket, and it works well this way too. The push button is...

Surprisingly good sound for inexpensive headphones

Fri, 22 Dec 2006 21:37:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I just picked up a pair of these on a last minute good sale at Radio Shack. I was expecting total junk, but figured I can't go wrong for $2. The packaging catches your eye. They come in a bright foil bag, with pictures of surprised looking teens...

A great value

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I bought this TV over the summer for my wife's birthday. After about 6 months of use, we are very happy with it. Insignia, if you are not aware, is Best Buy's own store brand electronics. It is a 20" traditional CRT, with a screen that is slightly...

Well built, functional and inexpensive

Sun, 29 Oct 2006 17:56:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I bought one of these about a year ago, when I could not obtain a replacement pot for an older, larger Krups I had. At about $20, it seemed to be a great price for a small coffeemaker with a timer. The construction is fairly solid and it has held up...

Very good computer speakers. Acceptable, but not outstanding for music

Sun, 24 Sep 2006 17:44:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I bought these on sale for only $8, and for that price this is a truly nice set of speakers. They replaced a higher end set of speakers with a subwoofer, which I had swapped with my wife. I could immediately tell the audio clarity on these was not as...

Love it! Lots of Pockets right where I need them.

Sun, 13 Aug 2006 02:42:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I have a collection of laptop cases, the result of trying to find the perfect one. I carry a lot of adapters and cables, and need a place for everything, but want it all easy to get at.(I think I now understand my wife's obsession with handbags) I think...

Sony VR3 MP3 FM Modulator Transmitter (VRFMM7) FM Transmitter: Some limitations, but excellent for the basic purpose

Sat, 5 Aug 2006 15:03:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - First I have to make mention that I don't believe this is made by Sony, as the product title suggests. I have actually seen it sold under several different brand names in various stores. The one I have is the VR3 branded model. I paid $24 for it, which...

Good design, easy to use.

Sun, 16 Jul 2006 14:25:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author yospiff - I bought this after shopping around for a while. With a just 2 elements, top and bottom, I thought the heat may be uneven, but it seems to work well. I think the shape may help to distribute the heat evenly. It's deeper than most inexpensive toaster...
