Philips NP2500/37 WiFi Internet Radio Network Music Player with Rhapsody (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The entire problem with this player is that it does one thing really well, but has a couple of other features thrown in addition that don't work as advertised.
As a player for Rhapsody, this really rocks. The songs come up quickly, the interface is easy to navigate, and all the songs feature artwork that looks great on the small but crisp LCD. The only downside is that it requires a paid Rhapsody account, although the free month is a nice introduction.
When it comes to internet radio and streaming music as an UPnP device, this player really falls apart. The internet radio functions work well, but the connectivity is very slow compared to the Rhapsody service, and it is unable to display song information from every station. Some stations work, some don't. Also, to find radio stations you are limited to either browsing the menus, or using the number pad to enter the station's name or a serach keyword. The number pad works about as well as using a cell phone without T9, so it is functional but very, very slow.
The UPnP service for streaming music from your home computer never worked for me. I installed the bundled software, updated it from the company's website, but the music never started. I was able to find my music library, even my iTunes playlists, but when I hit "Play," the player just hung forever and never started the music. FYI, I'm running a Macbook Pro with iTunes, and I keep my music on an external network hard drive, so that may have been the issue. A search through the forums of the Twonky Media Player(used for streaming) revealed nothing helpful, and I was unable to resolve it in the time I had to review the item.
As far as the player itself, the design is attractive and should fit well with most home electronics. The screen is bright and clear, and the remote works as well as can be expected. There are no on device controls, so the remote is essential to any use of the player, but I had no problems. It was also easy to connect to the internet, although entering a wireless network password using the number pad was time-consuming.
Bottom line, don't expect it to work seamlessly as a streaming media center from your PC or Mac's music collection. If you want it mainly for internet radio, it works, but is a bit hard to use. Rhapsody works great, but again, it requires a subscription.

Creative D100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Given this is the first review, I will be thorough.
I've owned the Creative D100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker for two months (paid $78.47). I'm very pleased. The sound quality is excellent for this type of speaker. The volume is loud enough to completely fill a room or a small outdoor area (e.g., patio). I've enjoyed it on the beach and found quality does not suffer much at high volumes.
Like with any small speaker, if you crank it to max volume, there is some distortion on bass-heavy songs. But the distortion is slight, and the bass sounds great if you have the volume appropriately set for the type of audio you are streaming.
On that note, there is no remote. The only way to control the volume is the `volume up' and `volume down' buttons on the front of the speaker or directly from streaming device ONLY IF it allows it. That is, my iPhone (3G - iOS 3.1.3) CANNOT change the speaker's volume while streaming, but my laptop can. In my use, I have not needed a remote. Usually I directly set the speaker's volume for the environment (e.g., bathroom, patio) and forget it. No remote also means you must control the streaming media from your device. There are no media control buttons on the speaker.
There is an auxiliary input on the back of the speaker, if you want to hook up a non-bluetooth device, or maybe just to save battery by not using Bluetooth.
Pairing with Bluetooth-capable devices (in my case, iPhone 3G and HP laptop) is simple and quick.
Battery life (four AA) is excellent. It is so long I cannot even put an estimate in terms of hours. It also came with an AC adapter, but I have never used it. The battery compartment is underneath the speaker.
The speaker is fairly small and very light. I actually carry it from room-to-room to enjoy while I am doing chores.
My only concern with the speaker is the build quality. The plastic casing is sturdy, but the front face of the speaker (surrounding the name plate and volume controls) is made of cloth. The cloth is spongy, but I am worried that it will inevitably tear with my heavy use of the speaker. There is no travel case included with the speaker.
Looking for a portable Bluetooth wireless speaker, I also considered the Logitech Z515 ($90, smaller and cloth-free). I've never used that Logitech speaker, but I ultimately chose the Creative D100 based on superior reviews for sound quality and bass quality. Look into both. There are good reviews for them and a comparison on CNET, if you want more information.
On the front of the speaker:
Volume up button
Volume down button
Bluetooth connect button
On the back of the speaker:
Power (on/off) switch
Aux input
5V AC adapter input
Underneath the speaker:
Battery compartment (four AA)

Logitech Squeezebox Wi-Fi Internet Radio Remote Controller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned the Duet (part of which is the controller I'm reviewing here) for about 2 years. Though I've always thought it was very cool and useful, it was difficult to set up in the beginning and has suffered from the scroll wheel being imprecise. Because the device was so useful, I overlooked the flaws. Others, as you can see from the reviews, couldn't overlook these flaws.
However, recent software updates have taken care of this. With the 7.4.0 release of software, the UI on the controller was changed. The current version as I write this is 7.5.0. This is the version that I'm running after upgrading from 7.3.3.
The screen has changed and doesn't look like what is pictured here. Better use is made of the screen real estate resulting in easier to read text and a much larger artwork display. The scroll wheel is very precise now - no overshooting your selection. The controller is overall very responsive now.
I recommend this product, escpecially with the recent performance and usability improvements introduced through software updates.

Altec Lansing inMotion SoundBlade Bluetooth A2DP Speaker/Speakerphone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What I was after:
- Amplified Loudspeaker
- Highly Compact & Portable
- Dual powered (battery & mains)
- Wired & Wireless connectivity
To sum it up: The whole point of a product like this is to get the best possible sound in the least possible space with the highest degree of flexibility.
The Altec Lansing SoundBlade was the best fit.
This speaker gets about as loud as the speaker gets on a typical television, so it can actually fill a room. Unfortunately, you cannot adjust the tone, as it tends to be a little too bass heavy. When you max out the volume of your source and on the speaker, distortion is quite noticeable. For the most part, listening to audio at reasonable levels actually produces a very clear and rich sound that suggests a sophisticated piece of hardware.
The Bluetooth connectivity may be tricky for people new to the technology, but once you understand the process of pairing it with your unit, it's a snap. With a clear line of site I've managed to move it a full twenty feet from my laptop before I experienced any dropouts with the device.
It's not just for iPods or Zunes. It's agnostic towards the brand of audio player you are using, so it can easily be used with any standard 1/8" audio output jack. Once the wired connection is made, the wireless functionality is automatically disabled. Your favorite MP3 player is going to sound great.The estimated 24 hours of use for 6AA batteries seems about right. Having a built in charger might have made it seem more convenient, but when you value portability, replaceable batteries actually make more sense in the long run. Having the option to plug in the speaker to standard AC power makes for a nice backup plan too, and there's nothing that says you can't use your own rechargeables.
The thin, sleek design is a major plus. It's a flat, smooth rectangular unit. The glossy black finish allows the SoundBlade to easily slide into your laptop carrier, briefcase, or backpack. The built in kickstand latches securely in place during travel and provides exceptionally stable support on any flat surface when you take it out for use.
The price is a bit fierce, but I have yet to find anything else that meets or exceeds all of the above criteria
Bottom Line
-----------
Pros:
Good sound
Excellent portability
Cons:
Unable to adjust tone
Expensive

GOgroove Flexsmart X2 Advanced Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter with Charging, Music Control and Hands-Free Calling Capability for Android, iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Smartphones Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I got the HTC Evo back at the beginning of June I just went to Wal Mart and picked up an FM transmitter there for 50 dollars, but it would only transmit to the radio but not charge the phone. For anyone who has an Evo, you know that the battery life is not good. Plus it had a so much excess wiring. I returned it and bought this off of amazon and it is amazing. It paired within 10 seconds and transmits with barely noticeable no static, transmits far better than the 50 dollar thing I got from Wal-Mart or the FM transmitter I had for my iphone. I put my phone onto pandora, plug in the charger and set it down and if a song comes up I want to skip, I can just hit the forward button on the flexSmart unit which can be easily adjusted to any position for your hand.
I love this thing, its not obtrusive, theres not a ton of excess wiring, just the gooseneck and if you want to charge it simultaneously you can just plug it into the usb port with the included 6 inch wire or use your own. The calls come in clear and great too, just as good as any bluetooth headset.
I highly recommend this if you dont have an auxiliary port in your car stereo, I was considering getting the gomadic one which is only 5 dollars cheapers, but has so much more wiring and the typical inconvenient control module built into the wiring. I'm really glad I got this one, I'm about to drive from DC to Portland and this thing will make the trip much more bearable and its not an eye sore in the car.

TENQA SP-99 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Setting up the device was pretty easy. After a few seconds, I was streaming music from my iPhone. The next time my iphone immediately recognized the device.
The sound quality is good for the purpose being a small wireless speaker. It's definitely not a Bose but is comparable to other iPod speakers I've tried. For this price, I'm certainly not complaining. If you turn the volume all the way up, you will get some distortion. However, you can turn volume up enough to fill whatever room you're in. I can hear it clearly when I'm taking a shower.
The compact shape is nice with its curved front. It's small enough to fit on a nightstand. I also like the silver and black coloring. It really makes the product stand out.
The speaker is convenient when watching movies on my computer while in my bed. I just use Bluetooth to connect to my computer and keep the wireless speaker next to my bed across the room. Then I can easily control the volume from there. The SP-109 is definitely better than my computer speakers.
Also, I use the speaker to stream music to my kitchen when I'm cooking. My apartment's a pretty decent size and it works fine for me but you may want to be cautious if you have a big house. If you get too far away from the source, the music will start to cut out.
Overall, I'm very happy with it and think it's a great value!

TENQA SP-109 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for an affordable wireless speaker that allowed me to stream wireless music directly from my cell phone (Samsung Instinct) and found the Tenqa SP-109 Bluetooth Speaker. I could not be more pleased with this product! This product is exactly what I have been searching for in terms of mobility. It's easy to use, practical, and has a good sound. The device is simple and straightforward to setup & pair with devices each use. The speaker is about the size of a radio alarm clock and includes a DC-adapter power cord. Pairing the device with my cell phone was a cinch. After powering on the device it immediately registered on my phone, I clicked connect and was done. The best feature of this product, for me is the mobility I can have. I can connect and control the music from anywhere in my apartment, allowing me to move from room to room without the hassle of leaving my phone plugged into a stationary device. I was skeptical about finding an inexpensive bluetooth speaker that could provide quality sound but after using the Tenqa SP-109 for a few weeks my doubts are gone. The sound is great for its size and for the price. I recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an affordable, quality wireless speaker system. I plan to purchase one as a Xmas gift for my sister who likes to listen to music on her iPhone but hates the hassle of having to leave it connected to a docking station. This is a five-star product without a doubt!

Bose® SoundDock® 10 Bluetooth® dock Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't believe I spent $150 on this thing! You would think Bose would have at least tested this. We live in a quiet neighborhood with very little wireless activity so that isn't the reason this thing sounds so bad. It's just terrible implementation. If I were you, just plug in your Ipod or Iphone into the SD 10. Please don't buy this. I am normally a huge Bose fan, but this time they really dropped the ball.
I tried everything including calling Bose and they admitted that you are going to notice "some" loss in quality. They need to go back to the drawing board with this one. I am normally a fan of Bose products, but seriously?? Last thing, they say you get 30 ft. distance with this. Nope, literally within 15 feet, the music cuts out and sounds like pure static. Don't do it, I warned you.

Motorola DROID Pro Android Phone (Verizon Wireless) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a heavy user w/ 60% work related and 40% personal. I also travel internationally. I have been using BB Rim for 7 years, my last one was 8830 World Edition for 2 years. I was one of 1st folks to get this unit as soon as it went on pre-sale. I have been using and testing the features I need under my regular business and personal useage. This phone has every thing I need : SIM card slot + International CDMA/GSM capability + WiFi, hotspot + 3G + Camera + doc scanner/barcode reader + ability to use SIP soft phones, such as google voice, skype, gizmo5 etc to make/receive calls over WiFi or 3G w/o using cell minutes (very handy internationally) + Great Voice Recognition + Google's Satellite "Navigation" app... Seamless integration w/ gmail, google apps, goggle, facebook, LinkedIn contacts and the list goes on. In one word, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC phone. Congrats Motorola. Sorry Blackberry I am converted :)
Cons: * Battery needs to be charged nightly * if u select a 3rd party soft keyboard (vlingo softkey etc) other than the native keyboard as the selected input method, they don't seem to pop up when expected. So stick to the default android soft keyboard. * Turning off Haptic feedback in settings, does not make any difference
UPDATE: my main peeve with this phone was short battery life... Last week I got the new motorola extended battery for "droid pro" and now it is perfect 5 stars all the way.
