I am sure that you can get much better quality picture and sound with a more expensive camcorder, but for the money this one is great.
A lot of people complained about the audio, but I haven't really noticed much of a problem. The video quality is maybe a little lower than I was hoping for, but it is still very good.
The best things about this camcorder are that it is very compact so you can always have it with you, it is very cheap so that you don't worry about breaking it, and it is pretty much idiot proof.

Well, I received my 4gb pink Mozaic today, and I'm very happy with it :]
I once owned a Creative Zen Vision:M, 30gb, until I lost it in the gym... It was an excellent player with a few quirks (it was somewhat laggy) but quite a brick - I dropped it about 4-5x and yet it still survived.
Well, back to the Mozaic, to break it down,
Pros:
+ The player is small and unobtrusive if you want to put it in your pocket
+ The pink is a nice shade
+ Easy to navigate through the menus
+ I was able to drag and drop music directly into the player's "Music" folder on my computer and play it immediately
+ Although the shell is made of plastic, it is very, very sturdy. I feel that I could drop it several times with minimal damage (not that I'm going to test this out!)
+ The screen is bright and vivid
+ You can save up to 32 radio stations
+ Radio signal itself is alright; just make sure you have your headphones plugged in, as they act as the antenna.
+ The speaker is decent, but not up to audiophile standards

The Fuze has more features than I want, but it is very easy to use and it is very easy to ignore the useless features.
When you get the unit, plug it in to the USB cable to charge it. Once it is charged, go into the settings menu and change the mode to MSC. This makes the Fuze act like a regular flash drive, so it will work with any operating system that supports USB. Next, format the unit. Sandisk includes some sample music that was installed in MTP mode. The two modes are not compatible, so your player will have wasted space if you keep the sample music.
Next, go to Sandisk's website. They will have a *.bin file available so you can flash the Fuze's firmware to the latest version. Just copy the file over with any file manager. They do have an updater program, but that doesn't work on my OS.
You now have a player that can handle FLAC and OGG format audio, as well as all the usual ones. That means Librivox and Project Gutenberg audiobooks work, so hard to find classics are easy to get.

Product is ok. $$$ for flash is dropping fast. Look to pay no more than $5/GB for 1-2 gigs; $4/GB for 4-8 gigs... Make sure it has a High Speed USB connection (i.e. USB 2.0). Make sure you get a secure memory stick if you plan on keeping confidential information or sensitive material. Also try to find the specs at which it reads and writes, this is where this lacks a little. Lexar Lightning Jump Drive has both security software and can read at 24MB/sec and write at 18MB/sec... but costs a bit more ($6/GB for 1-2 gigs and $5/GB for 4 gigs).

I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the Creative Zen Mozaic 2GB Flash Portable Media Player. It's very easy to operate, the sound quality is excellent. It's compact and perfect to take to the gym, to the park, or even around the house.

I have the earlier black macbook 2.16ghz/1gb/160gb and it has been solid and an exceptional computer since i upgraded from a powerbook g4 1gz titanium that was over 4yo. A lot of people complain about macs being too expensive, but if you know anything about apple, they target a specific market who can afford to pay for their premium computers. if you complain that they cost too much, its usually a windows person who are used to paying $500 for a crappy laptop that eventually craps out or is overrun with viruses to a point where nothing works anymore. Another thing that people don't realize is macs retain their value VERY well. I sold my powerbook g4 1ghz titanium for $550 in oct 2007 which originally cost $3k in 11/02(i bought it used for $500 in 12/05). It was still in great condition with no problems when i sold it... it was as fast as my old p4 2.53ghz desktop which has been gathering dust for a while now(i had been a windows user for nearly a decade).
This is my current setup:

I have been a vaio sz user for more than three years (~3.5), have bought a 750 for my wife and 650 for my brother as well. I have used different versions, 160, 330 and 650 last. It is surprising to see so many negative feedbacks as I did not experience anything that bad past three years with so many different computers.
I mainly use the computer for research and simulations. As regards to performance, it is fast indeed. Even if you are running many programs together including matlab, mathematica, photoshop, office programs etc. high speed mode can handle them pretty easily. I don't see the reason why people are getting troubles with speed.
Yes it is coming with lots of software junk however I don't understand what those people uninstalling for three days. If you are a little patient you can get rid of them in an hour after you first turn on the computer. Besides you don't need to wait there watching your computer uninstalling. It might be handy to have some these software too if you don't

Greetings to all potential Creative customers,
I was greatly disturbed today when I found out the lack of help provided by the Creative Labs Company to my wife when her 30 GB Zen MP3 player failed to run properly. In my opinion, it's actions like this that are ruining companies and our country's economy. Due to this company's inaction today, they have lost a once satisfied customer. Once being more than happy to promote this product, now we will be sure to divulge to our friends and relatives of this company's lack of helpfulness. My wife asked specific questions of the technical advisors in the e-mail form which were ignored; she was given a form letter, was referred to the website, and was told that she would be charged by the company for further help. She expressly requested the guidance of upper management from the technical support specialist, and this request was ignored, proving that Creative Labs is unwilling to provide any kind of meaningful help and does not value customer service.

A great small digital recorder except for 2 serious problems, plus 4 other problems:
Problem 1, starting Recording is a complex failure prone process
It is difficult to start recording. First, you have to slide the Hold switch downward, wait for the operating system to initialize the system and do a system check, then watch for the standard display to appear. At least 50% of the time the Hold slide switch fails to operate, provides a momentary pulse, then the system has to shut down. So you repeat this process until the system check is completed. Now the unit is on, then on the right side you press a momentary switch firmly, since there's no feedback from the switch and observe the red light or the display to insure that the unit is recording. Then examine the recording meter display to see if there's any amplitude reading. If there's no noise in the room then tap the mic to observe any amplitude reading, if it's there then you're recording. Otherwise, press the record switch

I had been wanting a Flip camcorder for the longest time. I had an Canon Elura, but got tired of using tapes. I wanted something really compact. I was so excited to finally purchase one and I got my camcorder a few days ago.
I was quite pleased with how easy it is to use! Several reviews highlight that, so I won't go into detail. Battery life seems to hold up really well, better then digital cameras. It comes with a nice velvet carrying case, but since it doesn't have a lens cover, you may want to invest in a tougher case. It comes with software for both Mac and PC. I use a Mac, and found the software to be decent. Very easy to use. It has a feature that will allow instant upload to Youtube. Comes with two AA batteries, cables to plug into the television and wrist strap as well.
I took several video with it yesterday. The zoom feature is TERRIBLE. The quality of the video was really blurry. (look up Star 95 Motorcycle Giveaway on YouTube to see) And because of it's size,

This otherwise terrific product claims to be able to record 56 hours. Trouble is, the battery life is good for only a tiny fraction of that. And that's the big problem. It seems that every time I go to use the thing, the battery is dead.

Better and cheaper than iPod, or at least thats what my friends told me. This MP3 Player has an excellent battery life, and an expandable memory slot for microSD cards. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Many professional reviews call the Sony Vaio SZ the "ultimate no-compromise ultraportable notebook", and it seems that this is no exaggeration. My SZ750n/c is all that I could want from a laptop, and more.
But first, an overview of the major issues that keep most laptops from being excellent "lap top" computers (easily portable, use anywhere):
1. Weight / size - a laptop that's too heavy or bulky to be comfortably carried around become nothing more than a fancy desktop computer, since carrying it around becomes more trouble than it's worth.
2. Cooling efficiency - a laptop that becomes uncomfortably hot under normal use, or can't be used without careful consideration about air circulation becomes more of an annoyance than a convenience.
3. Noise - a noisy laptop (usually caused by overworked or poorly designed fans) can be very irritating, not only to you, but to everyone else around you.
4. Battery life - a laptop that only lasts 1 - 2 hours off AC power isn't much use as a portable

Well I spent a bit more than most and added the option of the 64GB Samsung Solid State Drive. From the reviews I read, the drive is the best in the market right now. Anyway, I first did some justice to my laptop and uninstalled Vista Home Premium and installed Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 3. Once I installed all the drivers, the laptop is very quick even with only 1GB of RAM installed. The wi-fi strength can be spotty at times because of the placement of the antennas, but it's something I can live with. The 3 usb ports is what got me looking further into buying this laptop as other laptops with a similar size like the Mac Air only has one usb port. And I don't really like bringing around a trendy looking laptop so the "dull", general Lenovo look works fine for me. I also love the full sized keyboard on this small laptop. It's a lot easier typing on this compared to the Dell 700M that it replaced. I ordered the 6 cell battery just get give me more time if I'm away from a power source.

At the risk of repeating everyone else's reviews here, let me just say :
This is a sweet MP3 player! And I have had several over the years.
1. Windows XP recognized it immediately as a Sansa Fuze 2GB player when I plugged it into the USB port. No proprietary software is required... just plug it in and get started.
2. Use plain ol' Windows Media Player to rip your favorite songs from audio CDs and create WMP playlists, then transfer the playlists (complete with album art, even!) to the Sansa Fuze. Believe me, they could NOT have made this any easier.
3. I filled up just over 1GB of my Sansa with 88 songs each sampled at a 320 Kbps rate. And thanks to the easy navigation menus, I can find any of those songs within seconds.
I have not yet tried it's video capabilities, but I don't care about that anyway. When I'm working out at the gym, all I want is my music... and this thing as an MP3 music player is worth the price alone.

I'm really not much of a music person, and put off getting an mp3 player until a recent vacation. My last portable music device is the Walkman, so bear with me. I was really impressed with this mp3 player, and thought it was definitely a great buy (especially comparing to Apple products). I also love that I can just drag MP3 files off my computer without having to use a proprietary format or a particular program in which to organize my MP3 files. It was very simple to just drag to the correct folder (music for most) and I was good to go. Vista recognized it as an MP3 player and allowed me to just open folders. There is a music organization program that came with it, but I just ignored that for now.
I did drag a couple of stories and put them in the Audiobook folder, as well as a few podcasts which have their own folder as well.
I honestly didn't listen to it a ton, but I was impressed with the battery life, and I didn't have to use my USB power adapter that I picked up just in

I ordered this laptop because my family needed an extra computer, and as I'm the closest thing to a power-user we have, I gave my own computer to my mother and purchased this machine. While the system is only a small step up from what I had before, it certainly does everything that the information on Amazon promises - which is not a lot, given how sparse the details are. The computer runs Vista without any problems; I haven't yet tried reconfiguring it for Linux, but I'm guessing everything other than the dial-up modem will work fine. The Aero interface runs smoothly, even on the integrated Intel graphics chipset (which is not officially supported by most newer games, but which can be configured to run just fine with a lot of them.)
The only real complaint I have is something that's going to happen with any preconfigured Windows system, which is the crapware that comes preinstalled. Without access to a program like PC Decrapifier (which you can get for free with a Google search), it'll

I was immediately taken aback by this player. Its design took some time to get used to, but after seeing it up close and getting used to its controls, i feel like it is a good choice for any casual music listener.
The Good: 1. I like the design of it. Something new is always good for a market that has nothing different to give these days. 2. The sound quality is excellent. 3. The battery life is Amazing! I clocked in at 41.3 hours with all 128kbps songs and the screen off thanks to the lock. i havent done test with 192kbps songs yet, but i dont think it really matters too much. 4. Navigation is another plus. not just the default layout, but the customizability of it. you can move the menus around, add, delete, and set a certain item to the hotkey. this gave me the feeling that it was actually "My" mp3 player, unlike the Sansa, Ipod, and Zune mp3 players that do not allow any modification of the default layout.
The Bad: 1. Slow buttons. i noticed that when i scroll through the menus,
