Up 2 is smaller and lighter than the up and up24 and its a nice improvement. The jawbone up2 software is what really makes it a fantastic fitness tracker. The new update added auto sleep tracking so you don't have to tell the band your going to sleep or when you wake up. It works surprisingly well. Much more accurate than fitbit with a ton more information that is easily viewed. Smart coach is a nice motivation tool with added health amd fitness tips based on your personal achievements or lack of achievement in some cases. Up2 Works great with iphone, 5,5s,and 6 as well as samsung galaxy s4 and 5. The iphone app gets updated first and has some additional apps that can link with up. I have owned several fitness trackers including 2 fitbits, the original up, up24 and now the up2. I liked the design and patterns better on the up and up24 but the up2 is by far the most comfortable to wear 24/7. Only negative is the clasp that keeps it on your wrist. If you don't twist the clasp just a little it can come off with little effort. I found that after 3 weeks or so I would need to bend the metal clasp to get it to stay on tight. Not a big deal but I did have the band fall off once and had to retrace my steps to find it. I highly recommend getting the geek squad protection plan for fitness trackers as they all seem to break for fail within a year. I thought it was me but my wifes fitbit stopped working after 5months so I replaced it with the jawbone up24 and its button stopped working after 9months. My up24 stopped around 6. Replaced it with the up2 and so far no problem. If you have a moto360 smartwatch the jawbone up software can also get steps from the watch.

Great little speakers for the price. They won't blow you away with sound but are much better than others at this price range. For a 12x15 room these work great as rear speakers in a surround sound system.

Had the jawbone up24 and replaced it with the up2. The new software (purple icon) is much nicer and has some nice new additions. My only complaint is the up2 doesn't have a physical button to push. The up2 uses taps to put the band into sleep mode. For some reason Iam able to put it into sleep mode while walking or working out. I then have to tap it to wake it back up. This gets old when you do it 3-5 times a day. Not sure how or why but my 2 friends do Not have this problem. Overall the up2 is holding up much better than the up24 band.

I waited for the price to drop before buying the moto 360 and I wish I had purchased it sooner. I love the ability to change watch faces and get quick updates on my wrist. The FIT app works really well and I find myself using it more than expected. Lots of nice features in the current firmware and more to come in 5.1 update.

The feel of this keyboard is fantastic. The battery life is amazing. The only down side is its a little heavy and bulky. That said its still the best keyboard for the non air ipads.

Its an apple product so it looks great and does what it says it does nothing more. The remote looks good but seems to go missing in the couch or blankets often. Its over priced for what it does as a chromcast does much of the same for a 1/3 of the price. But if you need the features that only apple offers then you have to pay. And pay is what you do with this.

Will it work with Windows XP
Will it work with Windows XP? I have a wireless modem/router I was given by at&t for fiber optics but was told by the service tech that that model is known for losing it's wireless signal, so my second question is since my pc is close to the tv , can I run a cable instead of wireless?
No, chromecast requires a wifi connection to work. The only wire on the chromecast is a micro usb port thats used to power the device.

HDMI ports shot
Lightning took out HDMI inputs on my LG tv. Is there any other device that can hook up to stream netflix?
All depends on what other inputs your TV has. If you have RCA i puts you can connect a ps3. If you have vga in you could hook up a laptop or old computer and stream from that.

$20 Google Play credit
one section of the Best Buy description states:
"Good for one $20 Google Play credit"
whereas another section states:
"$20 Google Play Credit
Enjoy $20 in streaming movies from Google Play when you buy Chromecast."
question i have is whether or not the $20 credit has to be explicity used for a movie or can you use the credit for books, software, etc. from the Google Play store.
thanks!

I purchased my chromecast last week (jan 12th 2015) I purchased in store and it came with a plays store code on the recipt that put $20 on my play account. I used it to buy a game, a book, an app and a movie with no problems. So its for anything on play not just movies and music. You also get some other perks if you buy before jan 30th like a hulu trial for 2 weeks and google play music subscription trial. All total over $60 of free services.

Book Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 - Titanium Bronze
Guard your Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 from scrapes with this Samsung EF-BT800BSEGUJ cover that features polyurethane and polycarbonate materials for durable, encompassing protection. The screen-toggle capability turns the screen on or off automatically.
how to install?
How do you install this book cover? The tablets has 2 button looking holes in back.
Simply press harder than you think you should on the buttons on the civer so they go into the holes on the back. Its hard to get it lined up so do 1 button at a time and dont worry about the 2nds placement. Once you get the first on in the 2nd one is easier.
