My son loves this game. Although, it is the second one. The first one didn't last long. We had it about three months and the cord had a short in it. We are on our second one, we've had it one month and so far so good. My son loves it so much we had to replace it. It has really helped his hand/eye coordination.

Morse..My son got this game at 3yrs. old and he had a hard time at first playing it. But after a few times of playing it randomly thru the week. He has other games he plays but "SPONGEBOB"...is the dude for him. We have his whole room in "spongebob". This little treat adds so much icing to his cake.Very easily to follow and understand. The graphics are amazing for this little game. A "MUST HAVE ITEM" for that little spongebob fan to heart.

Tried it on a Verizon Kyocera KX414. No improvement. Paid $10 in the mall.

Folks, this is nothing more than a sticker with a design on it.

It can in no way, and does in no way improve reception at all.

They were selling these for $20, now I see they are down to $1, and even that is a rip off, unless you are a collector of quack devices, in which case, you must have this for your collection of quack devices from this century.

I am keeping mine in it's bubble package and display it on the wall near my test bench.

One day these will be worth something as collectors items, but don't get one beleiving that it can actually do what it claims, because that is physically impossible.

this "booster" was originally sold under the claim that "it's like adding a three foot antenna to your cell phone." well way back then... 5 years ago, cell antennas weren't that great to begin with and this little "sticker" did add a bit more reception to the cell phones of yore. nowadays cell antenna techonology has made antennas smaller and better... but not perfect. adding this "booster" to a relatively new phone won't add three bars to your reception... it probably won't even add one bar, but it does clear up your calls in areas where you have service. this thing isn't going to bend cell towers towards you to increase your calling area, it just holds the signal better in places where you can get service. if you live miles from a tower's sphere of influence this thing won't get you reception at your home, but it will make for a better conversation when you only have one bar.

as far as i can tell, it does what it's supposed to do.

After doing a lot of research on what would be a good mount for my 42" plasma TV, Amazon had the best price to offer. The product was mounted by my carpenter/friend, and has been great ever since. It has a lot of flexibility in tilting and swiveling, which is what I wanted. I love it. I highly recommend it for heavier plasmas. It's very sturdy.

The instructions and setup are very straightforward for anyone who knows how to use a stud finder and drill. I cancelled the retailer's installation after getting this from Amazon and saved $400 to spend on other toys. The unit is solid and works well on my 32" Sony Bravia.

I bought this wall mount to go with my cheap 30" Phillips plasma screen. I wanted a wall mount that would permit the screen to be pivoted left/right, up/down, and with some ability to move the screen away from the wall.

The mount has heavy-duty construction, and seems well built. The box includes the necessary bolts, washers, nuts, and cable ties to install the unit. The instructions are fairly clear, although it did take some study to figure out how to put everything together properly.

What I like best about this mount is that it requires very little effort to swivel or pivot the television (even my 2-1/2 year old can do so), but that once its position has changed, it holds the new position. There is no sagging or rotation due to gravity -- once I change the position (using just a finger to push the device), it smoothly translates to the new position, then stays there.

I would definitely buy this mount again, and would recommend Sanus as a quality product.

I've only had this item for about 3 weeks but so far I am very satisfied. The ability to share phonebooks is nice. Also the variety of ringers is good. Quality of the sound isn't perfect but good enough.

I previously owned a ATI All-In-Wonder TV board that works with Windows 98 only. I've purchased this Happage WinTV board to use it with Win2000 or WinXP. It installs fine, but it just doesn't work well, at least not for PAL-M here in South America, which this board is supposed to support (PAL-M is pretty close to NTSC and was perfectly supported by my previous ATI board). I've tried two computers, one P4 3.0 running Win2000 and a Dell Optiflex P4D running WinXP. The problems are the same. The TV tuner doesn't retain the settings, the capture freezes, I tried their support but it just doesn't work, neither with all their attempts to solve the problem or with the latest drivers from their website. It's a true nightmare, I spent hours and hours worrying over it, and I'm happy to trash it.

A re-installation nightmare. Worked the first time on my computer, as I initially had it installed, but afterwards on second boot-up, the hardware was not being recognized. Tried to install drivers again, but sadly, the hardware is "never" recognized. Followed website tech support directions, same course of failure. Of course, I am using XP Pro. Minimal website support. Spend the extra money and buy a better TV Tuner card.

This was my first TV Tuner. Scheduled recording works well for analog channels, but I could not get the IR blaster to work with my newer Motorola cable box (DCT2524), even after downloading the updates. Please note that this product will not pause live TV.

Where to begin? Bought DSM-320 on July 2. Installation of software was not a problem, however, it required first call to tech-no-support to get the unit to recognize the Belkin wireless server. However, I have yet to play one song or look at one picture. Second call to tech-no-support on July 3 did not resolve this issue and I was told to call back on July 5 to speak with "product specialist" who was only available from 8 am to 5 pm PST.

Came home from work early (as I am on EST) and third call to tech-no-support and I was told that "product specialist" is only able to call me back and the "senior technical specialist" that I was speaking with was not permitted to transfer me to the product specialist and that he could only put a note in my log for the specialist to call me. Now, seeing as my computer and 320 are at home and I work away from home, as probably the majority of people do, I find it unreasonable and counterintuitive to have purchasers wait by the phone to be contacted by a product specialist, if in fact such a person exists.

I was also told that the supervisors were in a management meeting and then was told that senior technical specialists are the supervisors and thus, there is no one above them to speak with. Two plus hours on the phone and still unable to play any files.

I purchased this unit specifically because I use Yahoo music and this is touted by Yahoo as being compatible with the Yahoo music server. The first day the 320 recognized the Yahoo server, but it is now unable to locate at all. I will be returning the unit tomorrow and try my luck with another product.

This media player is great.... when it works, which is rarely! I have had this product for over a year now and have had nothing but problems with it. The only way I got acceptable performance (meaning it doesn't lock up on me) is by ditching the wireless connection and going with a hardwired setup. I tried two different wireless routers, but the router didn't seem to be the problem. I also ditched the server software, which would hammer my machine, and went with Tversity instead. After all of that, it was finally working well, until all of a sudden it died completely. Since I've had it for over a year, DLink tech support and customer service said too bad. Their only solution was to offer to sell me another unit - I don't think so!

I've had my DSM 320 for a little over a year now, and I have now given up on the unit. While the idea of the wireless media player is very enticing, the problems one encounters on the way make it less than enjoyable. To begin with, the initial installation of the product took two full evenings on the phone with Dlink Tech Support (who are actually quite pleasant). It finally would play, but not playlists or protected music.
Another two evenings spent solved this problem by installing windows media player. Then the DSM 320 crashed again, making hiccupping sounds. Tech support just told me to get rid of the windows media player, but then I could not use my windows playlists or the windows protected media. This one took several days to figure out, but was being caused by an interaction with a firewall.
As more music was added to my computer, the menu speeds got so slow that I had to run a CAT 5 cable to the unit, making the investment in a wireless unit pointless. Then I switched my MP3 player to an iPod and the DSM 320 crashed again. After two more evenings fiddling I have yet to solve this one, nor do I intend to. Save yourself a little money and a lot of heart and headaches and skip this one.

these are the best batteries ever. i use my graphing calculator everyday so i have to change batteries every once in a while, but when i used the procell ones it lasted me about a year and a half.
