This card works OK,it occasionally causes my Dell Inspiron 7000 to hang until I pull the card out.

It needs a power cord though because if you hook an iPod up to it and doo a full erase and reload and don't come back to your PC for an hour or so it drains the battery on the Ipod. If it was a powered card this probably would not happen.

They are great they are so cool and work everywhere

...I've used it for over a week now but i'm thinking of returning it, because even though it looks very pretty - good quality leather, classy color - i'm not terribly secure about the protection it affords my Palm IIIxe. First of all, i've had to keep the hard flipcover on my Palm on, because the soft leather of the case wasn't enough to protect the Palm from turning itself on if i inadvertantly pressed against it. The loop for the stylus and the slots for credit cards are placed in an awkward position so that they rub against the Palm - and i'm so afraid of scratches on the screen that keeping the plastic flipcover on seems like a good idea anyway. I also don't like the clasp - it's just a belt loop with no real fastening, and i'm afraid that if it ever slips out or even loosens (which it can pretty easily) it'll leave my Palm vulnerable.

I might end up hanging on to this case for business occasions where you want to whip out your best suit and leather briefcase, but for everyday use this isn't a very reassuring companion.

I bought this bag to protect my Dell Inspiron 5100. Come to find out, it's just a regular messenger bag with compartments big enough to fit a laptop, cell phone, pda, ect. There is NO padding in the laptop compartment. So if you actually want to protect your laptop I wouldn't recommend this bag.

Toshiba brand replacement. Too expensive and they can only be expected to last about a year with normal battery use. [$$$] is a rip for a few cheap Li-ion cells, but when they die, you have no choice but to replace them. You would think they would either last longer or be priced lower.

I tried this mouse to see if I could avoid using my touchpad. Although it installed easily, movement was often jerky and slow. CRITICAL FOR ME: It drained my laptop battery much faster than normal. Also, if your USB port puts the receiver/dongle within sight, the blue light that flickers and flashes with every mouse movement is very distracting. With its batteries installed, this mouse is HEAVY! If total carry-around weight is an issue for you, or if you don't want your laptop battery drained, this isn't the right mouse for your ensemble. I took mine back for a refund.

When I first thought about buying this mouse, I wasn't impressed by the reviews. Most of them spoke bad about it and pointed a lot of weaknesses. But I decided to buy it anyway, since I had a friend at work who had one and was very pleased with it. The one I bought came with the cradle and I must admit that it's very useful, since you can charge the batteries when the mouse is not in use and also you can plug the receiver and keep working.
The mouse is very accurate and precise, the blue led from the receiver is nice to look at and, to tell you the truth,it doesn't bother me at all or distract me, like some people said it would.
My recomendation is: if you want a wireless pointing solution for your laptop, go for this one. It works fine and it's a lot smaller than some from other brands.
I paied 54.90€ for the whole pack and must say that I'm very happy with my purchase! Great value for money!
The pack comes with:
- Mouse unit
- RF Receiver (USB)
- Rechargeable batteries
- Battery charger cradle
- USB cable extension

This new model is much better than the older unit. The greatest improvement is the on/off switch and power saving functions. The old version would only save batteries when it was left still, which never happens when it's in my bag and always ended up taking the batteries out which was a real pain.

I do not find the switch hard to use as some people have indicated. I have short nails and stubby fingers, but I have no problems with it. It's designed to not be accidentally switched off.

I use 700mAh NiMH rechargable batteries in the mouse and it's been a week now and I haven't had to change them with moderate use. I also find it comfortable to hold and pleasing to look at (important with laptops I think.)

The wheel rolls silently, but the clicking could be a little quieter since it is a laptop mouse that you may want to use in a classroom or boardroom.

The bendable usb adapter is a nice addition and I would recommend this mouse to anyone. I have used it successfully in Windows XP Pro, Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD.

In order of their appearance: (1) dangerously slippery surface, can literally slip out of your hand (2) unit slides off of slide-on bar when tilted (3) case catch stopped working at 2 weeks without any trauma, so it constantly gapped open in my purse. At the time, there were no alternative cases so it at least protected the unit (poorly) for a while. I threw this waste of money away.

I have had my Palm and the hard case for about two weeks now. The case is very nice looking and gives a high degree of protection to the unit. I am a teacher and a student and will be carrying this around in a book bag. I wanted strong protection and this case provides it. It is very nice looking with a clean design and brushed aluminum (not plastic) exterior. There is plastic in the interior that cradles the unit and provides storage for two SD cards. The case opens easily with one hand and the lid folds completely around to the back where it is out of the way. Because of the extreme range of motion offered by the hinge I suspect it could be broken fairly easily. The loose fit of the unit in the plastic allows easy access to the stylus well and the off/on switch. Holding the open case in my left hand I can easily tilt it forward a little and allow the unit to swing out enough to reach the stylus and switch. In the same way gaining access to the USB and power ports is easy. While it does move around in the case I don't think it moves much. I am confident this case will protect my unit against most hazards it will encounter in my book bag. If you want maximum convenience and minimal protection then this case is probablyl not for you. If you can live with a little extra bulk and want greater protection for your unit then this case will probably fill your need

I bought this case the day after I got the tungsten e. Do not use the built-in flip cover that comes with the palm. The flip cover ACTUALLY SCRATCHES THE PALM. I found that out the hard way. Other people complain that they can't get to the stylus or power button with this case, umm there was a piece of foam inside the packaging to prop the palm up inside the case. The foam puts pressure on the palm so that it doesn't rattle around in there, it also makes accesing the stylus and power button a cinch. Use your heads people. The case is very sexy looking being that it is sparkley aluminum, and it is slim and sleek, adding barely no weight or bulk to the palm. I think this is a great product that serves it's primary purpose to protect the palm, as well as adding a sexy look to an already sexy looking handheld.
