Best iPhone for photography yet!

I love taking photos and the iPhone 7 has the best camera yet. It features 12 Megapixel of resolution, a larger aperture (which lets more light in), and a new multi-element lens for sharper images. Apple also upgraded the camera's flash and image stabilization. So if taking photos is your thing and you use your phone as your "go-to" camera, like I do, you are going to love the iPhone 7.

Apple quality at a good price
on April 10, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was on the fence about purchasing Apple TV but being able to get the latest model at a $10 savings pushed me over the top. This device makes it a snap to mirror content from my iPad onto my TV screen, which is the main reason I wanted it. My only real concern about Apple TV is the tiny black remote control which is very easy to lose in the cushions of a sofa or chair and is almost impossible to see once it gets concealed in a dark crevice. It might be a good idea for Apple to include a spot to attach a tether to the remote, like you see on many flash drives. This might make it harder to lose the remote and a bit easier to locate in the dark. Just a thought.

You love your current speakers. But there’s a world of wireless music they just can’t access. Until now.

This gadget saved my stereo system
on April 10, 2017
Posted by: Tony
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a "baby-boomer" with a significant investment in my "old-school" home stereo system. The heart of my system is a Sony Spontaneous Twin Drive STR-GX9ES amplifier / receiver connected to a pair of Bose direct-reflecting bookshelf speakers and subwoofer. We used to enjoy listening to on-air broadcasts, vinyl records and later, CDs with the room-filling sound of our stereo. But with the advent of internet radio we started listening to streaming music and our iTunes library mainly using our portable devices and our computers connected to small, tinny-sounding speakers. That is why the Bose® - SoundTouch® Wireless Link adapter is such a great find for us. After making just two connections I can now stream music from online services like Pandora or from my network-attached storage with just a few keyboard strokes or a couple of taps on my iPhone or iPad using the Bose Sound Touch App. The Bose® - SoundTouch® Wireless Link adapter has saved my existing equipment and it's great to hear my favorite music through the full, rich sound of my stereo system again.

Tax preparation expertise in a box
on February 17, 2017
Posted by: Tony
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been using TurboTax products for the past 20 years. in TurboTax Home & Business, Intuit has created a very valuable tool for the preparation of personal and small business taxes. The software works well both on PC and Mac OS platforms and provides repeat users with a smooth transfer of a prior year's tax info into the current year's return. In general, I have been very happy with this software and have experienced only a few negatives with it. For example, when a user is working on a return and simply runs out of time there should be a simple and seamless transition that would enable the taxpayer to prepare an application for an extension of time to file. That functionality is there, but it's just not obvious or intuitive. Within the Mac operating system, I also miss the "save as" command. When you are preparing a complicated return, it is often helpful not to autosave the changes made during a work session but to have the option to change the file name in order to identify the current version you are about to save, based on the assumptions you have made or on your data inputs without changing or losing past versions of that return. This is useful when you are deciding whether or not it makes sense to claim a deduction, for a home office, for example. Otherwise, TurboTax Home & Business is a very useful program and a very valuable tax preparation tool and I highly recommend it.

Convenient headphones - Great Sound
on January 30, 2017
Posted by: Tony
Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought these Beats wireless headphones for my 26 year old son as a Christmas present. He really loves them. He finds them especially convenient when he is working out versus plug in ear-pods, which frequently get in the way or fall out during his exercise routine. Compared to the many other gifts that wound up being returned or exchanged this past holiday season, this one was a genuine WINNER!

Quality item & a small package but not easy to use
on January 16, 2017
Posted by: Tony
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the Amazon Echo Dot mainly out of curiosity. I had recently purchased a pair of wireless (wifi) speakers and was hoping the Echo Dot could provide me with a convenient way to control these speakers. There was even a promotion being offered that discounted the Echo Dot when purchased with these speakers. Achieving the desired compatibility and connectivity, however, has not been intuitive and so far I have not been able to figure it out. It turns out that it is much simpler and easier to use the speaker manufacturer's smartphone app to control these speakers, so that is what I am doing.

The SoundTouch® 10 x 2 Wireless Starter Pack is the easiest way to stream music in more than one room. Each SoundTouch® 10 speaker gives you wireless access to popular music services like Spotify® and Pandora®, Internet radio stations and your stored music library. Play music whichever way you prefer, through your Wi-Fi® network or Bluetooth® device. Each speaker fits just about anywhere, with full, rich sound surprising for its size. Start with these two, and then add more at anytime. They all work together. So as you go room to room, your music goes along with you. Use them to play different music in different rooms, or the same music in every room. And setup couldn’t be easier. Just plug in each one, download the free SoundTouch® app, and follow the in-app instructions to connect to your Wi-Fi®. The app gives you powerful control of your SoundTouch® speakers from a smartphone or tablet.

A great pair of speakers at a nice bundle price

Verified Purchase:Yes
Several years ago I purchased a Bose® SoundTouch Wave Music system for my family room. I liked it so much, I had been looking for a way to extend the superb Bose listening experience into my Living Room. The Bose® - Soundtouch 10 Wireless Music System (2-pack) has achieved this and more. The speakers can be controlled from the Soundtouch app on my smartphone and tablet and this allows me to play the same program in both rooms or I can control the Soundtouch 10 wireless speakers in the Living Room separately allowing me to play different programs in different rooms. They are really versatile. The sound quality is excellent, which is not surprising for a Bose product, but is amazing for such a compact speaker. I am really enjoying this purchase and would highly recommend the The Bose® - Soundtouch 10 Wireless Music System (2-pack) to anyone looking to enhance their listening experience.

Great speakers - Nice bundle discount
on December 24, 2016
Posted by: Tony
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Bose SoundTouch 10 speaker bundle includes 2 SoundTouch 10 speakers at a special bundle price. This is my second purchase of a Bose SoundTouch product. I was extremely pleased with my initial purchase and so far the SoundTouch 10 bundle is living up to my high expectations of Bose products. The speakers work flawlessly and are easy to control using the free SoundTouch App on my smartphone, iPad and desktop computer. I can play the same program in multiple rooms now that I have these additional speakers. The only downside I have identified so far is the lack of detailed online support to help with the installation process. Some tutorial videos would certainly be helpful. But eventually, I figured everything out on my own. This was a holiday purchase and the Bose customer support phone line had been very busy every time I have tried to call them for additional help. For example, here is supposed to be a way to use both speakers in the same room to achieve true stereo sound separation (left channel plus right channel) However, I have not yet been able to figure how to make this variation work . Otherwise, overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and I would certainly recommend this pair of SoundTouch 10 speakers to a friend.

The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 Plus lets you experience PC-to-TV entertainment the way you Watch video, browse the web, chat with friends and much more. The all-in-one keyboard with touchpad ends the hassle—and clutter—of multiple devices. And a 32.8-foot wireless range ensures your fun won’t be interrupted. Comfortable, quiet keys and a large (3.5-inch) touchpad make navigating entertainment effortless. Even setup is a snap thanks to the tiny, plug-and-play Unifying receiver.
Will the Logitech qwerty board work with an LG smart tv
Hi Kent:
If your TV is an Android TV and it has a USB2 (or later) port, it should work. I purchased the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard to use with my new Sony (Android) TV. All I needed to do was plug the keyboard's dongle into a USB port on the TV and I was up and running. Good luck with this!

Tony

Is it compatible with an ipad pro ?
No - I tried this and the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard does not appear as a choice on the iPad pro because it is not a bluetooth keyboard. I think it connects to an Android flat screen TV via a radio frequency (RF) interface. I have not tried using an adapter to connect the Logitech K400 Plus Wireless Keyboard's dongle directly to the iPad Pro via the Lightning Port , but I doubt that it would work.....although it would be VERY COOL if it did, especially because of the built-in trackpad!!!

Smart Keyboard available at Best BuyThe new Smart Keyboard for iPad Pro has all the utility of an ordinary full-size keyboard, but its technology is far from conventional. The entire keyboard is draped with a custom-woven fabric that has been laser ablated to precisely define each key and ensure a satisfyingly fast and natural key feel. Below the surface of Smart Keyboard is a new conductive material. At just 0.1mm, it is nearly as thin as a piece of paper, yet strong enough to withstand a lifetime of folding. And it's why you won't find any batteries, cord or on/off switches with Smart Keyboard.
Is there cheaper key board to purchase for IPad Pro? And if so, is there any difference in functionality?
Hi Trenn:
The Apple Smart Keyboard for the iPad Pro 12.9 inch, unlike some of the Logitech keyboard cases I tried out, does not feature back-lit keys. In the "store" position, it protects the glass face of the iPad Pro very well. However it does not protect the edges of the iPad's case as well as some of the Logitech products I saw. This is both a plus and a minus. The plus side is that the smaller overall dimensions of the Apple Smart Keyboard, when installed on the iPad Pro, allows it to fit into one of the standard sized iPad sleeves. The Logitech "Slim Combo" Keyboard Case is cheaper ($149.00) and has better features, in my opinion, including the backlit keys and better protection for both the glass face and the edges of the iPad Pro's case mentioned above. However, it does increase the dimensions of the device when the Slim Combo Case is installed and this my make it more difficult to find a protective sleeve that the iPad + Slim Combo Case will fit into. I hope this answer is helpful to you.

I own a corporation, LLC, can I use this product to complete my corporate return? Also, do I then need 'deluxe' for the personal return? Thank you
TurboTax Home & Business can be used to prepare a small business tax return using a Schedule C. If that is the approach you normally use to file your LLC tax return then this software will work for you. Regarding your personal return, TurboTax Home & Business allows you to prepare several different returns (I think, up to 5 individual returns) and it incorporates all the features of TurboTax Deluxe, so you should not need to purchase TurboTax Deluxe for your personal tax return.
