I bought this for my Samsung S5 phone. It works great for storing my Music and videos. It also backs up everything I have on my phone. It works fast and has plenty of storage for my phone. I have turned my phone from 32 GB to 64. It gets the job done.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The size and it's an Apple.
What's not so great: The price is still too high compared to the competition.
I love Apple products but they don't always lead the pack like they use to do. I been waiting a couple of years for a smaller tablet like my friends' 7 and 8 inch android tablets. I am glad they finally made the Mini iPad. It is perfect size for travel. I use it while I am waiting at the airport or visiting Starbucks. It is small and easy to carry around with you.
This product is... A nice compact size, Sharp graphics, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold
About me... Basic web surfing & emails, retired, Comfortable with technology

What's great about it: easy to setup and access
What's not so great: delay in motion captured
I would of given this camera a four or even a five if it was not for the delay in capturing the picture after it detects motion. The person is usually out of the frame when the camera finally takes the shot. We estimated there is a five to seven second delay between the camera detecting the motion and the camera taking the picture. We own two Belkin Netcams and both have the same delay. Other than the delay, its a good camera for a $100 security camera.
This product has... Adequate viewing area
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: nothing
The HTC One is the phone I always wanted. I was satisfied with iphone for several years because it was as close as I could get to the perfect phone. Then I played with a friends HTC One phone and I was hooked. I sold my iPhone 4s. My teenager did even want my old iphone. HTC One is so easy to operate and customize. The screen is the right size for me. The Beats Audio is great. I don't need an external speaker or bluetooth speaker. Android finally has a great OS. I love 4.3. This is my perfect phone. Forget Apples high prices, strictions and funky toon style interface.
This product is... Easy navigation, Replaced my camera, Good video quality, replaced my portable speaker
About me... My phone is my life, Heavy apps user, Need phone to keep me organized

What's great about it: the variety of channels and most of these are free
What's not so great: nothing so far
I have owned an apple TV for a couple of years. Apple TV was so limited on what you can play and most shows and programs apple charged you to watch.
The roku has more variety of channels, shows and programs which most are free. The interface is so easy to use.
I highly recommend it to all my friends and family.

 Bose - SoundTouch 10 Wireless Speaker - Black
Bose - SoundTouch 10 Wireless Speaker - Black
The SoundTouch; 10 wireless music system is the easiest way to play music throughout your home. Plus, it's so small, you can place it just about anywhere to stream millions of songs from music services, Internet radio stations and your stored music library - all with full, rich sound. You can even play your favorite music instantly, without a phone or tablet. Simply press one of six presets on the speaker or remote, and the music starts.
 

How loud is it

I own 3 different Bose SoundTouch Speakers and amp. The SoundTouch 10 is plenty loud enough for my wife's office. She says she never turn it up past 1/4 of the way up. Our SoundTouch 20 is in our kitchen area which is about 14 feet by 20 feet and it never goes past 1/4 volume because past that it gets too loud. Finally, we replaced our whole house audio system (which includes the Living room, Famlily Room, Master Bedroom and Master Bathroom) with Bose SoundTouch SA-5 amps. SA-5 can really pump up the volume on in-ceiling speakers (some Bose and some SoundCraft Speakers).

Can I stream music using my ipad? Does the speaker "go to sleep"? I want to use this as my stereo system for my business so I'll be turning it on in the morning and not touching it until the end of the day. Is this going to work the way I want it to?

You can use this with your iPad. I use my iPad most of the time. There is no "Goto to sleep mode" yet according to the Bose Forums, but the developers say it is coming soon. I have the SmartThings home automation system which I paired with my Bose SoundTouch System (I own SoundTouch SA-5, 10 and 20). Samsung SmartThings will turn off my Bose SoundTouch system at night.

Why does it continue to go off line?

I had the same problem with my Belkin Camera. A friend told me to buy a wifi range extender. I bought the Belkin range extender and I have had no problems with it since. I am sure any range extender will work. My camera was over 50 feet from the Router and had to penetrate four rooms

Will it be ok outdoors overnite w/ humidity/ saw nothing about being indoor/outdoor.

The Samsung memory card should have no problems with mild weather or moisture. My Job requires I work out doors sometimes. One rain storm, I forgot my rain slicker. My pants got soaked and I had my phone in pocket. I was out in the rain for over 2 hours. My phone was very wet. Both the phone and memory card worked great during the rain and after I dried off.
