What's great about it: Real Voice, and Directions
What's not so great: No Audio book player, no MP3 player, windshield mount
I had just purchased a Garmin nuvi 2595 2 months before I bought this one. My 2595 broke, and I had to send it back to Garmin for replacement and couldn't wait till I got it back, I needed a GPS for traval. So I bought this 2597 and right off I saw new features. This new model has real spoken voices instead of computer models, and improved given directions. It's a great improvement. Now besides saying the street name to turn, it will also include a landmark such as a mall at the corner, a traffic light, a business, etc. It also prompts what lane to get in and if you can use more than one lane for turns (as in 2 lane turns} That alone has improved my grasp of the directions very much. The directions themselves are an improvemt over previous models. I've owned 4 Garmin GPS's over the years and The traffic information is also an improvemt over all previous Garmins I've owned. That along with free maps and traffic updates makes this GPS a heck of a bargain as a driving tool. It falls short on accessories the older models carry such as a audio book, MP3 player, etc. It doesn't have other dash boards one can pick from, nor many options for the car displayed and things like that. Seems Garmin made a trade off with acc, opting for improvement in directions and sound quality. I don't like the new windshield mount on this GPS....my other 2595 GPS and older models have a better mount design. You have to remove the suction cup mount every time you take this unit down. All my other Garmin GPS's would unlatch from the suction cup mount. You could leave the cup mount on the windshield and just remove the GPS unit. Customer service can be iffy, and hard to reach on the phone some days. The 1st 3 days I tried to recently to call support, a recorded message said the wait time would be over 1/2 hr. When I finally got through after the 3rd day, I was taken care of promptly and to my satisfaction. My broken 2595 GPS was replaced with a brand new GPS #not refurished) and seems to be working well. I have it put up as a backup now, because this new 2597 is the better of the 2. The time it took to arrive in the mail was satisfactory. I love my GPS and I am one who sorely needs one for traval and getting around town. This unit does not disappoint.
This product has... Large/easy to see screen, Lifetime traffic, Free map updates, excellent voice quality
About me... Budget Conscious, Frequent traveler, owned many other gps's
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Price, Size, Portability
What's not so great: Windows 8 and the speakers (sound)
I purchased this netbook on sale for $275.00. I upgraded the ram to 4GB, installed a new WD 320 GB, 7200 rpm hard drive, and put the original drive away. After the upgrades it runs reasonably speedy. Though I took the offer to upgrade to windows 8 Pro and windows 8 media center, I just could not get adjusted to the new windows 8 OS. Maybe it works well with a touchscreen monitor, but I did'nt like it using my mouse. So I cloned windows 8 using a 3rd party backup program, onto my spare hard drive and put it away for safe keeeping......in case I decided to try windows 8 in the future. Then I reinstalled my original windows 7 home premium OS that my Pc came with, from my windows 7 installation discs I made. This is my 1st Acer and I think them just fine and a good brand. This Pc is no speed demon by any means, but then agin anyone buying a netbook for under $300.00 expecting high performance picked the wrong product. I got it for traval, wanted something small and light and this really fits the bill. I mostly email, seach the net, play chess, watch movies (streaming online) etc. I have an external USB DVD burner to use when needed. Since this netbook does'nt come with a DVD Burner, it's a good Idea to get a external burner. If you use the burner for nothing else, you should get one to create your windows 7 or 8, Installation and recovery discs. Acer does'nt stock Installation discs for their netbooks since they don't come with a DVD Burner. All in all this is a good purchase for a good price.
This product is... poor sound quality, A nice compact size, easy to set up
About me... Budget Conscious, Regularly process large video or graphics files, Comfortable with technology

What's great about it: Price.... and it works for the intended purpose
What's not so great: Nothing
I purchased this tripod for my small digital compact camera (Canon Powershot SD 1000). I also purchased a "full size" Targus Pro Tripod for my bigger, bulkier camera (Canon Powershot SX 40 HS) point and shoot. This little product is great, just perfect for a table top. I see many reviews that the tripod is not stable and tips over, but as others pointed out, this product is not for the bigger, heavier, point and shoot, or SLR camera's. I use it for my compact camera on a table, and it's perfect for the intended purpose. Why would one spend good money on a bulky, heavy, Point & Shoot or SLR camera, then buy a cheap table top tripod for it, I'll never understand. One has to match tripods with the intended camera and purpose. This tripod should work well on a table top with most "compact" camera's under 16 oz. My camera weighs 5 Oz.

What's great about it: No wires
What's not so great: Limited places to use the unit
I got the device hooked up without a hitch. It works and sounds fine. I turned the volume all the way up on the RocketFish's rear unit and I control the volume from my reciever. Because the unit is wireless, I had to adjust the rear speaker delay to get a sound I was pleased with. The instructions for that is in the manual that comes with the unit. I tried it out the box and could not hear my rear speakers well. So I used my reciever's speaker auto setup and mic, that came with it, and adjusted the rear speaker delay. that made all the difference in the sound. I plugged the front unit's power cord into a switched power outlet on my reciever so the rocketfish unit powers off with my reciever. But I have to turn the rear unit off manually.
I would recommend this to a friend!

this product claims "write speeds up to ten times faster"
I have the Sandisk Cruzer 2.0 --this Sandisk 3.0 claims to have "write speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0" what does this mean ---does it literally mean that you can key words/write 10 times faster?
The speed of the USB3 Drive will depend on different factors of your Pc. You "must" have a USB3 port on your Pc for this drive to work at faster speeds. It will work in USB2 ports but it will only perform at the USB2 speeds. If you have the proper USB3 ports on your Pc, you should see faster speeds.

Does this tv produce a "soap opera effect" ?
I know most people don't like the "soap opera effect" some tv's produce, but I actually do (I know, how weird, right?) and I'm looking for a well-priced tv that does. Does this tv do that?
No. This is a plasma TV. Soap opera effect happens only on LCD HD sets.
