this will be great once i get out and run some trails or start riding my bike again. it basically does not have a map even though it claims to have one. it has a pointer. the heart rate monitor works good, but the numbers are tiny for that piece of data if it is something you’re trying to pay attention to while running.
otherwise, is great. i even loaded a costa rica map i purchased for my nuvi onto it.

I bought 2 of these cables to use for my Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. The HDMI cables that Microsoft and Sony want you to buy can range in the $70-$100 range while these cables do the same trick for way less money. Excellent purchase.

I can honestly say that I was hesitant to read this book because of all the publicity and hype it have received. I was afraid that they hype was just that–hype–and the book wouldn’t live up to my expectations. I started reading around 11:30 p.m. and the next thing I knew it was 6:00 a.m.; I had finished the book. I just couldn’t put it down because I got drawn into the story.
Like many readers, I was, at first, a little put off by Bella stating how beautiful Edward was over and over again. (I think after the 3rd time readers probably got the idea that the man is perfection in physical beauty.) However, the characters were so well sketched and their flaws so real that I couldn’t help being intrigued by them. And yes, even Edward, who is perfect to Bella, has some “character” flaws, which is what I think makes him a realistic and believable character. The human qualities of emotions and desires that Meyer has given Edward and his family make them work well as characters. The only character that I found slightly annoying was Renee, Bella’s mother, who really does play a very minor role in the book.
For a teenage paranormal romance, I also think the plot works well and does a good job of conveying many of the primary anxieties of high school and teenage relationships/romances without being overly angst-ridden. Meyer does an especially good job of sketching out what it feels like, from the character’s perspective, of being an outsider in a small town. I think she does a good job of this from both Bella and the Cullen’s perspectives.

When I started reading ‘Artemis Fowl’ I didn’t know what to expect. I had just heard it was a popular series with tweens and young teens, but had heard little beyond that. At first I wasn’t too impressed, I found all the LEPrecon stuff a little too cute. But once Artemis sets his scheme in motion with the kidnapping of Holly, the book really picks up steam. In essence, ‘Artemis Fowl’ is a very good heist story, but one with fairies, trolls, dwarfs and 12 year old criminal masterminds. A lot of fun.

This steam-vac is easy to use and does a very good job on both carpets and upholstery. Easy to fill and empty when full of dirty water. Haven’t had it long enough to evaluate its useful life but it seems to be well built.

I expect steamed cleaning solution to come out. However, it does not. I can press the trigger button to squeeze some solution. But it’s not STEAM! disappointed. This is a brand new one.

I bought the Wii for my family online after searching local stores only to find it SOLD OUT. Setup was easy and quick. We all love playing it. My husband and I are competitive and so being able to play against each other is great. Our 3.5 year old loves that he can play many of the games on the Wii Sports game and looks forward to doing his “wii fitness” every day (poor kid gets 80 years old every time, but hey he has fun!!) Overall, this was a smart, convenient, and family friendly product/package and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks Nintendo and Amazon!

I wanted a watch with a “countdown” feature and this one fills the bill. A countdown feature is very useful for sailors! It is easy to operate and has many other alarm and timer features. It is reasonably priced and fairly stylish.

I am very satisfied with my Forerunner 305. I use it for running and skiing. It is easy to use, just turn it on and start running. GPS accuracy has been great for me, within 1-2 % accuracy on controll-measured routes. I chose the 305 instead of the 405 because of the good reviews here on Amazon and because of the good price, and I feel I made the right choice. Definitely 5 stars from me!

I have a 3rd generation iPod 20GB. I really have no complaints expect one major one. Apple needs to offer balance control (PAN) for those of us who may not hear equally well from both ears. It’s extremely ironic that Apple doesn’t offer balance control as Steve Jobs himself has hearing problems. Why Jobs hasn’t pushed for a prime directive for all Apple’s iPods/iPads/iTouchs/iPhones to offer balance control is so beyond me. There is a huge market for people with hearing problems who want to balance the sound coming out of either headphones.
