If you have lots of time to learn a fairly complex GPS unit then this one should be considered. It takes some time to navigate through the marginally user friendly features. It is not suitable as a daily driver aid because of the lengthy inputs.If you are into going places that are remote and you want to insure you can get back out then this will do the job. I have been lost , at night, on dirt roads, with no signage but the breadcrumb trailmarking feature got me out of some scary places even as the area was obscured by smoke from a to close for comfort forest fire that was nearby.

I purchased the IPAQ for Pocket Fritz (chess software). I didn't expect much beyond that. However, the wireless/internet explorer browser works well, the keypad entry is quick and accurate (also suggesting words), and the display is good. I was debating between the higher resolution enhanced model and the classic model, and opted to save money with the classic. I'm glad I did :-)

I don't own this printer yet but I've been doing research on it and I went to my local Office Depot to try it out. After downloading the manual and reading a post online I wanted to try out the Scan to PDF feature.
You can place your USB flash drive (or some compatible memory card) into the front of the device and then place up to 50 documents in the ADF and have them scan into a multi-page PDF file. Super handy. You also could have it scanned and sent as an attachment in an email or sent to an FTP location.
I could imaging this being a great feature to stay organized with receipts. You could just place them on the glass surface and have the machine store your email address "myreceipts@gmail.com" and then just keep sending them there for safe keeping.
It won't OCR when it created a PDF meaning they text in them won't be searchable but on the Mac with quickview it works great as you can just scroll through previews of them and get to the one you want pretty quickly.

I spent quite some time reviewing other units, from Acer Aspire One to palms and higher priced HP handhelds, and for the ease of use, setup, and applications, I found this to be perfect.
As a pharmacy student and hopefully future resident, being able to access pharmacy applications is critical. I currently have three must- have pharmacy programs uploaded, and each one works perfectly. I can spend 4 hours at least with the dim on low-medium, looking up drug interactions, appropriate dosing, and so on.
The microsoft office works excellant, and screen rotate feature is clutch for veiwing powerpoints, excel, pictures. The headphone jack works great too- and although i don't have 30 gigs of memmory,(I have 4) it is nice to have the option of having music on top of everything else.
I have access to my pharmacy notes in word and PP, drug comparisons in excel, lecture recordings, over 100 songs, Wi-FI- which with microsoft Livesearch, where you can actually say where you want to go "Chilis"

I use a Brother MFC-8460 in my other office and have been very pleased with the performance and reliability. I was about to buy a second one for a new office but came across an incredible deal on this MFC-9440cn (hard to pass up a color laser unit at the same price as the 8460 B/W unit!). Having bought it without seeing it in person I was a bit concerned, but when it arrived it exceeded my expectations.
Pros:
* Quality construction: The weight of the unit and the quality feel of the machine is simply a cut above that of the 8460. And I am happy with the 8460 at its price, so I am really pleased with this unit!
* Easy set up: While it is not a light unit, once you have it where you want it is very easy to set up. The instructions are easy to follow: Remove the protective tape, insert the toner cartridges and install the software. The software immediately located the printer on the network and configured everything without any issues.
* Works: Every function that I have used worked

Potential customers using Windows Vista or XP should be advised that these disks have been preformatted for Mac and will need to be reformatted for the Windows file format (NTFS). The instructions for reformatting the disks are buried deep inside the User's Guide (page 29).
What is worse, if you are using Windows XP and follow these formatting instructions, the format will fail. Only the quick-format option (which is not recommended as it will not run a disk check) will work. In fact, neither Windows disk check nor disk defragmentation will work. A workaround for defragmentation is to install another disk defrag software. I successfully tried Auslogics (freeware).
The disks are delivered with three sets of cables: (1) USB; (2) 6-to-6-pin (Firewire 400/IEEE 1394a) and (3) 9-to-9-pin (Firewire 800/IEEE 1394b). If your computer (like most PC notebooks) has a 4-pin Firewire jack, you will need to purchase a cable or adapter (costs about $30) separately.

The ASUS MyPal A626 is one of the best Pocket PCs I have ever seen.
But unfortunately, neither Amazon.com's description nor the manufacturer's note did not explain that it doesn't work with Vista computers very well.
Although there is no problem recognizing the device and interact by putting files around, when it comes to synchronizing with Microsoft Outlook 2007, it does nothing.
Windows Mobile Device Center tells me that it has been synchronized, but I find no difference on the unit.
If someone knows a solution to this, I would greatly appreciate if you could contact me via Amazon.com

The copy and scan functions are outstanding -- quick, quiet, and easy to use. Scanning to Adobe files is remarkably simple. Faxing, though, is another story. The fax wizard will not install on Vista 64 bit systems, so fax send functions are limited to what you can do manually. More frustrating, it is impossible to receive faxes with an answering machine connected. I have spent many hours speaking with technicians in India to solve the problem. They diagnose the problem being the answering machine, but changing the answering machine did not help. This was not an issue with my five year old HP Office Jet. And the 1522 is not covered by HP on-line help. So my advice is to think about your needs before buying. If you have Vista 64 bit or use this on anything other than a dedicated fax line, beware.

Purchased this to print 11x17 from CAD application and have not been disappointed. Extremely fine lines on prints so detail is wonderful even when large sheet sizes are scaled to fit on smaller paper sizes. Needed brother support due to a networking issue. Support was great; we had to assign a permanent IP address for the printer. Now there are no problems.
Gave four stars instead of 5 only because I haven't figured out why the printer doesn't autoselect the correct paper tray for different page sizes being printed. Plan to call support, but anticipate it is a setting I've missed.

I agree with the few who say that don't believe all the reviews. "Built like a tank" is not a good thing on this case, especially when you have previously had some Canon Pixma printers that have excellent engineering. Tube of vaseline required to move/remove paper trays smoothly on D9180 is NOT included with the printer. And it is noisy.
I have used my printer very little and still it has developed fault where it does not understand when specialty media tray is lowered, rendering that tray useless. Small lever that reports position of the tray to printer seem to work fine mechanically, but pressing it makes no difference. Now warranty just ended and I'm stuck. In fact I have only printed about 80 sheets and have still original ink cartridges.
Printer driver is also bloatware, several hundres megabytes.
To HP's credit I must say that this printer consumes really little ink when not in use. That is probably it's best feature. I was away for 3 months and it consumed less than 5% of ink.

Recently purchased the camera to take on a race and it performed well; however, I need to read the instructions more to reset the picture taking speed. I was unable to take pictures fast; for some reason I have to hold the button down for a few seconds before the camera takes the picture. I should be able to fix this quite easily.
It is compact and doesn't look cheap and came in protective soft bag.

Picked this up for its cd/dvd printing capability and it works great with my Mac. I also did not have to use the included HP software to print to dvd. I use a program for the mac called DiscLabel and it is compatible with this printer. Printed some photos and DVD covers too and they all turned out great. Awesome little addition for my business.

We have had no problems with the camera. It's thin and lightweight so it's not really bulky if you need to put it in your pocket. We just spent a day at the zoo and the battery held up well for most the day.

The good:
* This printer is one of the best I've owned so far!
* It prints quickly, and the colors are good.
* Setup was easy and fast; my three Macs and one Dell PC all print to (and scan from) it wirelessly.
* I can select any of my computers -- including my Macs -- from the printer LCD and scan to it.
* I can "print" any document as a fax to a phone number, and that works well.
* The 11x17 paper size is GREAT for the kinds of documents I print.
* I can see supply levels from my Macs...wirelessly.
* I can't stress enough how impressed I am with the wireless support for this printer in the Mac drivers. I've tried a variety of Airport Express units and dedicated WiFi printer hubs with other printers (HP, Epson, and Canon) in the past, and they either didn't work, or only had partial functionality. This is the first one that does everything on both the Mac and Windows XP without compromise.
The bad:
* It doesn't print double-sided without having to manually flip the paper over; I thought

You read the title right. Tech support assures me it uses up color toner even during black printing. I have tons of black toner and rarely use color but I can't even print black right now until I pay brother $350 for new COLOR cartridges!
The advertised costs are completely false, your will spend $450 per toner replacement because you need to replace the color as well as black toner. I talked to two different tech support people because I really couldn't believe it.

The Brother MFC-6490 has proven to be all the printer I expected. Easy to set-up & use, fast, accurate, and reliable. I highly recommend this printer.

This is a nice sized external disk with lots of storage. It traveled acorss the country with me as a carry-on and has worked fine. If you want to use it under Windows you will have to reformat to be able to write to it, but if oyu are using an Apple or Linux it will work just fine.

HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printer
Do yourselves a favor and get a Canon, or maybe an Epson. HP no longer makes products like the HP-41C I used to carry proudly when I was an engineering student 30 years ago. Yes if and when you are blessed and the unit works it turns out beautiful prints, but then so do similar printers from other manufacturers. Don't be fooled by all the comments about this printer being "fantastic" or "built like a tank", the moment you power it up you start hearing the worrying noise of the cheap mechanism within. After a troublesome setup I managed to use it for some three months and then it failed. HP, to their credit, have replaced the printer twice (most likely refurbished units), but with each replacement I get the same message to replace two of the same printheads. But since HP considers print heads consumable items I have had to buy a total of 3 heads at a cost of more than $180 including shipping.
So here I am with replacement printers that ask you to install

After suffering through 2 really poor HP printers I decided it was time to good for the gold and get a Brother MFC-9440CN. I found the Brother easy to set up and the print quality to be everything I needed. The Photo quality is not as good as an inkjet but is better then any magazine photo and for my needs it's just fine. If I want really high quality photos I'll go to a photo shop. The graphics are excellent.
No more ink cartridges drying out and/or clogged printheads. I've gone laser and never will go back. A laser may cost more but I know it will function when I need to print something. That can't be said of inkjets.
I'd recommend the Brother MFC-9440CN to anybody. It's fast and dependable. What more could one want?

This photo frame isn't perfect, but if you are looking for something to display photos from your Flickr feed, or any other RSS photo stream, even at a less than technically capable relative's house, then this is a very viable option.
It definitely takes some technical know-how to set up, but once it is set up it doesn't need any more interaction. The setup screens on the frame are slightly confusing even for me, and I could write the software on the frame. Specifically, after setting up the wireless network, it searches for a Windows computer to grab photos from, and if that fails the error reads like a Windows computer on the network sharing photos is required. However, just pressing "continue" allows the web server to be started.
The web interface to the frame is kind of useful. It is where you add in RSS feeds, and along with seeing what is currently on the frame is about all you can do from the web interface. That means that you can't do much to the frame remotely.
