An excellent addition to a home theatre
I bought these so that I could watch television late into the night as my wife sleeps. They are very well made and the battery lasts for quite a while. I like how you can swap the batteries out with AAs if they run low so you are never unable to use them. Like others have mentioned, the range is only about 33 feet and within an IR conical profile in front of the transmitter. This is to be expected because the information is transmitted via a wide “beam.” I find this advantageous because I have a Home Theatre PC, a Wii, Roku box, and a PS3 that could be used with this and I did not want to encounter major interference with sound using any of those products. Because this is not based on a transmitted “radio” signal, there is no chance of interference. While I like the concept of the optical in, its just not convenient to keep switching back and forth between products that do not have that option so I just use the A/V jacks all of the time and quality of sound is great. One tip I would give to anyone to reduce any audible hiss they may encounter is to leave the volume for the headphones waaaaaay down and then just use your receiver to control the sound level. You will hear almost no hiss and the tiny fraction you do hear will be drowned out by your sound anyway. The sound is comparable to a really good pair of headphones but is admittedly not as good as a surround sound system. But hey, its a lot better to crank the sound up on these at night while my wife sleeps then it is to turn the sound way down so that I do not disturb her and not be able to hear anything.

Pros:
1) Slim design.
2) Most well constructed iPod to date (components are actually screwed on to the body instead of just being sandwiched between the body.)
3) Video playback.
4) iPod scroll wheel interface
5) Strong power management system
6) High quality LCD.

Cons:
1) Inferior sound quality compared to competitors and older ipods.
2) Interface is slow and choppy.
3) Albums and Artist names disappear from the albums and artist menus if you have Compilations on.
4) Touch pad is not very sensitive.
5) Weak volume

I bought this Ipod for the video, battery life and space. The most annoying thing about this iPod is the sound quality. Compared to my 6 year old 2nd gen iPod, the sound quality was a step down. It didnt have accurate bass. Music sounded distorted with with the EQ. The sound lacked all spatial feel. The DSP is to blame here i think. It was tweaked to give a better battery life. Other than the sound quality issue this is a decent DAP. However, is this a good DAP at all when its primary function (audio) is mediocre? Too bad there are not many really good sounding DAPs anymore. The iPod is still the best in terms of balance of style, features, interface, third party support and battery life.

At this time, the new revision with HDMI is NOT, I repeat, NOT the new Falcon chipset with 65nm, which would lead to less heat and supposedly less Red Ring of Doom. It has the same innards as Xbox 360 Elite, except the smaller hard drive; it’s a Zephyr. This revision however does have quieter BenQ drive.

If you are thinking about buying an Xbox, wait for the Falcon chipset which should be out in 2-3 months.

PS3 is the ultimate gaming machine. The graphics are out of this world, the OS is sweet and slick, and when PS Home comes out the online community will be awesome!

The best part about this machine is that it doubles as a Blu-Ray player. Not only does it double as one, but it is probably the best cheap Blu-Ray player on the market. The firmware is updated smoothly and the load times are very short.

I would recommend this system to everyone.

Great Camera For Recreational Photography

If you are looking for a good, basic digital camera, this one is great. It’s got enough features to do everything you want from a personal use camera (not professional level).

I bought this camera for my mother. I bought myself the Cannon SureShot, because I got lured in by the extra features. After they both came in and I used my mom’s camera, I wished I had bought the Sony instead of the Cannon.

This camera is easy to use. The dials/menus are easy to use. Just a few minutes of “playing around with it” is enough to figure out the basic functions. A good solid camera. Nice pictures.

Reset issue fixed with a simple firmware update

First of all, Amazon’s white glove delivery service was great. I was a little hesitant about buying a TV of this size online but now that I’ve gone through the process I would do it again in a heart beat.

For those of you who have been following the news on the A650s, the reset issue has been fixed with the latest firmware. Chances are you will have to upgrade the firmware yourself when the TV arrives but it is pretty simple procedure using a USB thumb drive and Samsung provides step by step instructions with photos if you need them.

I’ve had my TV for about four days now and I’m still completely blown away by clarity, detail and colors this set produces. The LN40A650 has three HDMI inputs on the back, and one HDMI input on left side which made my devices incredibly easy to hook up. I then watched Ratatouille followed by Apocalypto, both on Blu-ray - great movies to show off your new set.

The 40″ is the only model in the 6 series that has a fan built into the screen. Some people may be put off because of this but the good news is that this fan is completely inaudible. This weekend we had 90 degree Santa Ana winds here in California and even with out any air conditioning, I still couldn’t hear the fan.

When I first saw the Touch of Color online I was indifferent. I don’t really care for the color red but now that I have the set, it’s slowly growing on me. All of the stock Samsung photos show a vibrant red but with my 40A650 in the living room it has the perfect amount of color. It’s not strong enough to steal my focus away while watching TV but at the same time it looks great when the TV is shut off. I believe the rest of the colors have been announced so if red isn’t your thing then it’s just a matter of time.

The glossy piano black of the A650s does cause reflections at times but I don’t consider it to be a deal breaker. It’s easier to notice the reflections during the day but I still experimented with light placement so that lamp reflections were not visible at night. Most of the time I only notice the reflections when I’m actively looking for them and it has never interfered with my viewing experience but it’s something to consider.

While you’re not going to get any realistic surround sound out of the built in speakers, they do come with a little power if needed. I’ll be upgrading to a 5.1 system pretty soon and the built in speakers are more than enough to hold me over. If you’re not planning on using anything but the built in speakers then the 7 series television might interest you with it’s built in subwoofer.

Be sure and take advantage of the 30 day price guarantee if you do buy your TV through Amazon. There are third party websites to help keep track of these things (price protector). I’ve already done this once so far and I can continue to do so for the first 30 days.

Overall I’m extremely pleased with the LN40A650 and my purchase experience through Amazon

Tom Tom One vs Magellan and Text to Speech

I replaced a Magellan 4040 with this. The Magellan had text to speech - wide screen - blue tooth and AAA guides. Cost much more.

In my opinion the inexpensive Tom Tom beats the Magellan hands down, even without text to speech.

Text to speech is a great concept but seems to strain the processor to the point that it would sometimes forget to give you street names OR directions. Very bad. I had 2 Magellan’s ( I thought first was defective and returned it ) and both would do this. I would much rather hear “turn right in 500 feet” than no instructions at all. Many times I was blocks past my turn before Magellan would announce it. Not good.

Both Magellan’s got flaky on me as well. One would need an occasional reboot for a frozen screen, the other would occasionally tell me I had reached my destination when it was still miles away.

Tom Tom has been rock solid.

Tom Tom NEVER misses a turn voice command. They are quite detailed as well unlike Magellan. Magellan says “turn right at Blair Street” where Tom Tom says “turn right in 200 feet than make third left”.

POI in Tom Tom is way better in my area than Magellan. It had an espresso stands that only opened 4 months ago near me! Of course results may vary depending upon where you live.

Voice is loud and clear, map colors are changeable, interface is very customizable.

Also Tom Tom guarantees a free download of the latest map for your unit at purchase. Garman and Magellan have very vague policies on that and may charge you for the latest map.

I have owned both Garman C220 and Magellan 4040. I will be most likely be purchasing Tom Tom from now on….
