GOgroove BassPULSE Hi-Fidelity 2.1 Sound System with Subwoofer for PC, Mac, MP3, iPod, Tablets and Home-Theater Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a wonderful little system. I have hooked it up to an MP3 player and also tried it with my laptop. In both instances the sound was wonderful. It was easy to hook up, in fact I didn't even use the directions. The sound was deep znd rich, with subtle bass provided by the subwoofer. The unit is very compact, but delivers big unit sound. And even more impressive is the relatively low cost of the system. It compares very favorably to systems costing many more times the dollars. A great buy.

Griffin Technology RadioShark AM / FM Desktop Radio with Time-Shift Recording Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I already have a couple software programs that will automatically record and save radio programming but when the Radio Shark was announced, I couldn't resist. Mac elegance, simplicity and functionality. Or so I thought. The product is solid, well made and the software is easy to use. Unfortunately, the reception is unacceptably poor in my suburban, residential area. Every radio I own from clock radios, a couple Tivoli Pal's, a built in-whole house system, mini-systems and so on receive programming easily. The Radio Shark's reception is inferior to even the lowliest of portables. I've tried everything I can think of. Coiling the USB cable, moving it to every place within reach, using a high dollar shielded usb extension cable which also allowed me to move the Shark further from the computer), using the Radio Shark's headphone input with a pair of ear buds and a minijack to rca cable (as Griffin's website suggests). Nothing seems to help. I have two other radios within 18 inches of computers and they were pretty easy to set up and receive clear, static free programming. The Radio Shark has been a huge disappointment. I should have learned my lesson after purchasing the Power Mate from this company. The Power mate (ditto for the Radio Shark) is very high quality piece of hardware from a fit and finish standpoint but the software was glitchy with a pc. Maybe it would have been better with a mac. But I digress. Perhaps if you live far from all urban and suburban interference or live on a hill with better line of site to the towers you want to receive from, the Radio Shark might be fine. For the rest of us, the Radio Shark is likely to disappoint. If you want to time shift radio programming, I can recommend two excellent pieces of software. High Criteria's Total Recorder Pro (for the pc) and Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack Pro for the Mac. I don't work for or profit from either comany. I use both on a daily basis. Both are rock solid. All you need to do is connect a radio to your pc or mac and you're set.

Boost Mobile Samsung Seek Phone Black Color Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is NOT a "smart phone", it is merely a phone with extra options.
The good stuff:
* Slide out qwerty keyboard
* Good battery life
* Superb voice recognition for hands free dialing
* Very loud speaker
* My provider, Boostmobile, has an excellent pricing plan, and great service area
The bad stuff:
* Low bandwidth. This is a CDMA phone so speeds are equivalent to a 56K dial-up
* Camera quality is bad. It may be a 1.3 megapixel, however with the slow shutter speed and low sensitivity cause this camera to take blurry shots every time.
* The media player suffers from low fidelity playback, even when using headphone jack.
* The browser will not let you change the home page. It also does not save logon cookies, or passwords
* The facebook, and myspace applications are not applications. They simply launch the web browser.
* Downloading apps from 3rd party sites is disabled. You can't save images off the web either.
* As of this writing (11/24/2010) Neither Boostmobile or Sprint have made any new applications availble for purchase.
* The GPS capabilities are only available thru the "Boost Navigator" application, which costs extra money per use, or an extra monthly fee. You cannot delete this application from the phone.
* "Hookt Chat" application also cost extra to use, and is impossible to delete from the phone.
* Operating the phone is almost entirely done by using the touch screen, which is nearly impossible to see if you are outside on a sunny day.
* Video playback is not supported. Not even youtube
* You arent allowed to assign your own MP3's as ringtones. You are expected to buy those from the so called app store.
* Bluetooth tethering to other devices, (to share the internet connection), is disabled.
* Bluetooth file transfers are limited to one single file at a time.
* The touch screen is not capacitive, it is truly pressure sensitive. If you are used to a droid or iphone, this screen will feel numb and unresponsive.
Final Opinion:
The cons severely outweigh the pros. I would not recommend this phone to anyone.
