I love it when tech products just work and do what they are supposed to do. The Chromecast works great whether I want to watch YouTube vids with friends, Show my recent vacation pictures to my parents, or watch movies on Netflix. Whatever your media needs the Chromecast works great - all you need is an Android phone/tablet or iPhone/iPad and the Chromecast app and your good to go!

Not much to say about this kind of product. It was exactly what I wanted. Small and compact. Worked as it should. Great way to store and protect important data.

Keep enemies out of your room with this fully animated Spider-Man toy. His LED eyes light up when he detects movement with his motion-detection technology, and speech recognition lets him engage in two-way conversations. Hook this Spider-Man toy up to the Internet via Wi-Fi for new adventures, missions and updates.
 

Can it play music?

Only the built in theme music it sometimes plays. Does not act as a bluetooth speaker.

will this item give u information like elexia. example weather, news etc.

Nope. Darn shame - if they had connected it to Alexa to allow home automation, it would be amazing! As is, it's just a toy.

This Logitech Harmony 915-000194 smart control lets you use your compatible Apple~ iPhone~, iPod~ touch or iPad~ or Android device to control up to 8 components for simple, multifunction use.
 

Does (or will) this be controllable by Google Home?

Not yet. (As of 12/27/16) but Google just opened up the API for Google Home so hoping Logitech will integrate in the coming months...

Are you limited in the app on how many devices can be programmed. I don't plan to use the remote, I want to use this with Amazon Echo instead. Seams like it should have unlimited if you don't have to worry about how many programmable remote buttons.

Read my review for info on Amazon Echo integration. It's okay, but VERY limited at the moment - not as great as they make it sound. And you are limited to controlling 8 devices with this. However, direct integration "Alexa, Turn on TV" only works to do just that - turn on equipment for specific purpose (like "watch a movie" to turn on tv/receiver/bluray or "turn on fire stick" to turn on tv/receiver/fire stick and go to right input). Extra Alexa Skill app allows you to say "Alexa, tell Harmony to..." and then adds only 4-5 more commands. That's it. No ability to create custom commands which is what i was expecting.

Share files between all of your Samsung devices with SideSync on this Samsung Galaxy Tab. The Super AMOLED display brings videos and pictures to life with vibrant colors and clearly defined lines, and its touch screen capability makes navigation simple. Store videos, documents and music files without worrying about limited space on this 64GB Samsung Galaxy Tab.
 

What accessories go with this device? Is there a pen that can be used? My Surface has a pen and I think I would be lost without it....

You can buy/use a standard stylus with this, but it does not have the special "stylus use detection" system that allows the tablet to ignore your hand touches and only react to the stylus. So this will not provide the same stylus functionality you're used to with the surface.

Can this device run Microsoft Office? How do you install it then if so?

Microsoft makes Android Apps for all their products. You don't install "Office" per se, but on the Google Play Android App store just look for Microsoft and you'll find an app for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Notes, and more from Microsoft designed specifically for Android.
