Overall that is just my opinion on how they work. Maybe my camera just consumes alot of power and its not the batteries. I might give it a shot some more and see where it goes with...

Which is mainly why i bought the remote. I have to say that it is an amazing universal remot, its not like any others, and i was very surprised to learn that it controlled everything in my home to all the tv, and dvd players but my stero, kitchen stero and all of my sons game sytems and our digital cable boxes aswell. This was a great...

(We turn the volume all the way down before we shut it off for the night.  — I would definately recommend this....

But It has almost as much functionality as the most expensive one. Most of the differences are in the extra bells an whistles (like a touch-screen). The 550 will replace all of your remotes to your home theater set-up. Unlike many other universal remotes that require you to enter various codes for each component who's remote you're replacing, and which can become obsolete as new equipment is released, the Harmony gets its remote codes from logitech via a web-like interface when it is connected to your computer. This way, as new equipment is released, the remote codes can be downloaded over your computer, ensuring that this remote will not become obsolete. The Harmony series of remotes basically operate via macros, which, if you've used other programmable remotes, combine multiple operations into the press of one button. Unlike other remotes, these macros are virtually...

I wish I had had this with my previous laptop. It would have saved me a lot of heartache and worry. This cooling base has two fans that keep your laptop running cool, and believe me, my laptop can get really warm with all the power it draws. But this little gadget keeps it running cool. — This is also a hi-speed USB 2.0 Hub with 4 ports, very handy for all your peripheral needs today. — This unit comes with a wireless mouse that works like a charm. The unit and the mouse fit nicely into your bag with your laptop so there is no problem with transport. I have used this unit and the mouse for six weeks now without any problems. — The only down side to this is the mouse is a little difficult to program when you first set it up, but it works fine after that. It just takes a little reading and a little work. You have to push a button on the base unit then push a button on the mouse to set up the mouse...

It said on the package that they were pre-charged. I put them in my digital camera and nothing. I had to charge the batteries. My husband put on in his MP3 player and it worked. — The batteries don't seem to keep their charge very long. I have used Energizer rechargeable batteries before and they seem to work a little better. —...

Data can be entered either by writing or by typing.  — The palm pilot has many add on features such as a Spanish English dictionary and a bunch of games.  I don't have games on my Palm, but the translator is great.  The E2 is a little pricey, close to $200, but because of the memory it has,it is worth it.  —...

Ugh! We got this one because it looked neat, but then it wouldn't find our TV. Not manually, not automatically. And it's not my TV... I've since gotten a different remote that works fine. — —...

I use it to watch TV when I'm traveling. As well, I also use it to watch TV at home on my laptop (in a different room from my TV) via my home wireless connection. The video quality at home is excellent (of course it functions at high network speeds) when it can stream at about 3 Mbps. When on the road the quality depends on the local download speed. I can sometimes hit 600 Kbps which is pretty good for watching sports. Anything less that 300Kbps and the video will be pretty jerky. I even have loaded the version of the player on my Treo 700p. The quality here is surprisingly good, but of course the screen is small. The Treo version is useful for setting my TiVo in case I forgot to do so before leaving the...

My first was a motorola and it irritated my ear bad, the ear piece was always digging into my ear or flopping off when I tilted my head a little ways. My first Plantronics was the 220 and it lasted only a year before it went bad. I liked the performance of the Plantronics so when my 220 went bad I got this one. The Plantronics has a stiffer ear piece and doesn't flop like the motorola did. — — Using the Plantronics 330 — — The Plantronics connects very easy to your cell phone and only requires inputting the password into your phone. It is very light and I hardly feel it on my ear when I am using it. I will be walking through a store while talking on my cell with it on and people think your talking to them. I was talking to my wife one day and asked her "How is my sexy cab driver doing today?" and this lady gave me the weirdest look....lol she thought I was talking to her. Boy...
