I recently purchased the adapter for my trip to Europe. The first time I used it, I used it on my blow dryer. It worked for about five seconds until my blow dryer made really weird noises. I was too afraid to plug in my flat iron because I didn't want to fry it like my blow dryer. There are very little directions or instructions on the package to warn you against using the adapter with items such as blow dryers. When I came back to the U.S. and tried my blow dryer, it didn't work anymore. But I did use the adapter to plug in my video camera to charge, and it worked just fine. I also charged my PSP Player. It worked great. The only other complaint is that the adapter is pretty loose on the outlet. I wasn't sure if it was going to stay put while it charged. But overall, I would recommand this item as long as you don't use it for a blow dryer.

I reckon this is a great product. All the power inserts you'll ever need, in one neat lightweight unit - and it has USB. No world traveller should be without one.

used 2 of these while we were on vacation in egypt for 3 weeks. Never had a problem and they were flawless. To the gent that noted they fell out of the socket on him and they were to big...I can only say if you don't push them all the way in they and any other device you use will fall out...and there big because they can be used in th EU, Japan, Africa, US, ect... if you wish to spend the money on an all inclusive solution and travel to various parts of the world...then this is a good choice rather than having a hodge podge of adaptors lying about.

Almost the same name as the CLI-8C except for photos, right? No, this will not work in the PIXMA MP800 printer. Be careful when you order. This is for the PIXMA iP6600D or PIXMA MP950 only.

I just wish it had more space than 2GB. That is the only short coming in my opinion. And also the fact that you need to download a video converter from Iriver just to transfer you video files too. Besides those 2 aspects, this is one of THE BEST MP3 Players I've ever purchased. I sold my Ipod NANO as soon as I discovered the CLIX.

The Iriver Clix is the best player I have ever owned, and I have owned a lot. The sound quality is excellent, and Fm radio reception is excellent. I don't use the voice recorder a lot but when I did use it, it worked very well. Watching videos is an enjoyable experience. I have no problem watching movies. The screen for me is big enough and it doesn't hurt my eyes. The player has great flash games that can be very addicting. Adding album art to the player is another great addition to an already amazing player. If you are going to buy this player I would recommend buying the cradle. It's a great accessory to have. Another thing that you need to get for it is a silicone case from Javoskin. It protects your mp3 player from bumps and scratches. Iriver also sells a silicone case but I have found that the Javoskin silicone case is a better choice. To get the Javoskin silicon case, just go to Javoedge.com and select Iriver Clix from the list. It also comes with a belt clip and a laynard, and it is cheaper than iriver's silicone case. To sum up this is the best mp3 player to have. It will keep you occupied. To find out more about this mp3 player go to cnet.com. They have a full review of it and they even have a great video about the Iriver Clix. This mp3 player I would recommend to anyone. 5 out of 5!

I can second the positive comments that everyone else made. The device is excellent. The sound quality is impressive (I was a television production technician for 10 years, so I know audio pretty well.) But, since nothing is perfect, here are few things to be aware of:

* The Amazon description is not correct on one count- the Clix does NOT have a timer-record function for FM radio. It is possible that it will be added in a later firmware release.

* It does NOT support Audible. Again, maybe later.

* The included ear buds sound pretty good, especially for ear buds, but didn't work real well for my ears- the buds didn't want to stay in place, and they were uncomfortable. YMMV, I'm sure.

* WMP is the only means of synching audio files. Although you can copy files over yourself using Windows Explorer, it is not reccommended.

* Mine froze up several times, but only during certain songs that had a scrolling title (I've had it just a few days). Tech support is very good. This is a known problem, and the current solution (should be fixed in next firmware release- I have 1.11) is to reformat the device and re-synch everything. Not a big deal, as synching is very fast, but you do lose the pre-loaded games and videos. Many games are available for free on iRiver's web site, as are some other videos, but not all of the original games are there, nor are the videos. So, if you need to re-format, back up everything to your PC first using Windows Explorer. So far, no freezes after the reformatting.

* Sound volume may be too low depending on your source material, phones, listening environment, and ripping method. If you use WMP to rip, you can't adjust the volume at rip time. I suggest using a free ripping program (such as FreeRip) that allows for volume adjustment and/or normalization. The volume is fine under most conditions, but just be aware of the issues, and if you have a problem, the solution is easy and free.

Anyway, overall, I am very happy with the Clix. Would I buy it again? Without hesitation. Go for it.

I am using a Canon MultiPass MP730 all-in-one for printing photos, and using this special Canon paper definitely makes a difference in quality. It is significantly better than Kodak, in that the color balance and detail are much better, and the Kodak leaves the gloss finish "shaded" where the ink is deposited. The Canon paper comes out high gloss everywhere, even where printed on. There is no comparison. A close second is Costco Professional Glossy Inkjet Photo Paper, but the Canon paper is slightly better in terms of color balance and fine detail.

CANON PHOTO PAPER PRO IS THE BEST OEM PAPER SUPPLIED BY CANON. A MATTE FINISH CAN SOMETIMES BE NICE BUT THIS PAPER WILL NEVER DISSAPPOINT YOU. -JEREMY (CANON PIXMA IP6600D)

I previously bought stack of Canon Photo Plus paper, thinking it's just as good as Photo "Pro" paper.

I was wrong. If you look at the skin tone, Plus paper is little off and it is very annoying. Caucation will have pinkish skin tone, east asian will have greenish skin tone on "Plus" paper. unlike this "Pro" paper, which is accurate just like shown on the computer monitor.

Don't compromise on paper to save few cents. Make it worthwhile for spending Hundreds dollar on camera and printer.

After all, it's the printed paper that gets the most exposure to friends and family.

THESES SPEAKERS ARE PERFECT FOR ANY TYPE OF COMPUTER.THEY ARE WELL MADE.SOUND QUALITY IS GREAT FOR THERE SIZE AND POWER.THEY ARE CHEAP AS WELL.A WELL MADE HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT.GREAT BUY NEW OR USED.

Got these to give as a gift. They are ok and cheap for the price

I was looking for a quick and easy solution to listening to music in my den at the top of the house while having the option of being able to play the same music downstairs when we are in the lounge. When in the den, this cheap audio product sat on the desk next to my Mac does us proud. Unbeatable in terms of how much, these PC speakers have made this customer very cheerful with the quality and design. At about 10 inches high in stylish black, I won't say they are bass monsters and they arent the loudest boxes on the planet, but for $10 you get a very capable sound system that looks good too even next to a Powerbook! And with a $12 FM transmitter beaming music downstairs to our beefy hi-fi, we have a very neat audio solution for non-audiophile music fans.

Creative seem to have a great product range, as I have a 4:1 system that cost me $50 and they are awesome in many ways. So all in all, I wouldnt look much further than Creative for any budget priced but mid-range quality PC-related audio.

On the one hand, the Dura-Brite formula produces printouts that are resistant to the sort of smearing that ink jet output in known for. On the other hand, this same formula may be what has forced me -- and many others, according to the reviews I've read -- to trash the C84 ink jet printer. Many people, myself included, have found that said printer suddenly stops working because of clogs that can't be unclogged, and one widely accepted theory is that this ink has dried to such an ultra-hard consistency that it has gummed up the works beyond all repair. So if you have an Epson ink jet printer that's still working, just be very careful to follow all recommended precautions to keep it working -- and keep your fingers crossed. If you're trying to decide on a printer, I can't recommend Epson and this Dura-Brite ink.

Love the larger size......since you go through so much more black than any other color.

Nothing much to comment about on an ink cartridge...it works as it should. If they could only reduce the cost of these things then I would be impressed.

Its works fine, no surprises except for the sticker on the box that says not dual channel compatiable, I bought this todouble my memory and use dual channel on my A7V it says nothing about it no being compatible on the deiscription and no I have sub par memory in for my upgrade. Ill stick with newegg next time and use my gift certificates for dvds like I usually do.

Incredible memory giving me non stop action in my gaming. The virtual memory is unbelievable.

Quick and accurate, that's the ticket. Will do business with this firm again.

I am pretty happy with this backpack. The only drawback is that it has so many pockets, that I cannot remember where certain items are.

If you are like me, and you have a large amount of books and other stuff to carry around, this bag is perfect. And it has several pockets to store sunglasses, a bag lunch, a nice cell phone pouch that can fit anything from a reasonably sized Nokia to a clamshell phone hanging off of the left shoulder strap, Palm Pilot, iPod - with even a slot to fit your earbuds or headphones through, although that's kind of tricky -- a very well-padded storage area for your Notebook computer, all the connections and wires that accompany it, and, top it all off, a place for your water bottle.

If you are taking a lot of classes with a lot of books, the compartments are very spacious and can hold a lot. Unlike most reviewers here I find it very comfortable when full, and not heavy at all once you are used to a little extra weight.

Overall, I highly recommend this product, especially for the price, since a similarly equipped bag should cost over $[...] or more (but don't tell that to Amazon or the Manufacturer :D )

This bag has been with me from Baghdad, Beirut and beyond. It has carried my 17" notebook and assorted clothing, accessories and the like with comfort and unyeilding endurance. If you are a world traveler, who finds himself in all kinds of interesting conditions, this bag is for you!

This mp3 player should be purchased just as often as the nano but doesn't. i'm not sure why this one is way cheaper and more durable, plus you can use subscription services that are way cheaper than itunes. I found the sound quality with the speaker to be better than expected. The software included was alright but i'll probably use wmp most of the time. I was pretty amazed by the microphones quality. the fm transmitor doesn't work great. The screen was much better than i thought it would be but i probably wont use it much for pictures cuz it is still so small. My only complaints would be that I couldn't figure out how to get my computer to recognize it for an hour. But eventually it just worked so that was ok. The foam on the headphones came off to easily and I lost one foam on my second day of use. Luckily the haedphones aren't uncomfrotable w/o them. still they shoulda come with extra. i found the controls to be insanely sensitive at first but now i've gotten used to it. It is lame you cant play music and look at pictures. It should to be easier to change the volume while looking at the menus. Thats about it. I would really reccomend it especially at the low price

very good quality, it's a bit tricky to figure out how to charge at first, but once you get it, it's very easy. the touchpad adjusts sensibility so you just have to get used to that. oh yea, i bought a battery charger with mine for occassions where i am not near a computer, it was only like $4 well worth it. overall, it's a good product, in my opinion it beats an ipod with extra features and you don't have to follow the whole "ipod fad"

i bought this with concen but i love it everything u can think of an ipod and more! but u can't view all songs all songs by artists unlike ipod..screan maybe diffucult to see in the see ....the bottom line this is the best mp3 player ,i recomend it better that any of the ipods!!!!!!

You really can not go wrong. Its a good tripod for dollar that it asks.

I'm just starting out in photography and this little tripod fits all my needs. It is very light and the components are plastic in many places, but the price should indicate that to the savvy buyer.

I think it is a pretty good deal for those starting out.

If you just need a tripod to hold your camera still, take this one.
It is better than I thought. Very satisfied.
