Pros: These are great, Put one in my KD V4 Q5 Buckle light and it's now supercharged! Build quality is good (not that I know much about the internal working of these.)
Cons: I don't think these are protected Can't really use these in anything else besides things that take 3.7V AAA sized batteries
Other Thoughts: We'll have to see how long they last before they stop working, I am suspicious because of the cheap price.
Bottomline: Get them, and get a good charger, but make sure the charger is a low current charger or else it might damage the battery and cause possible fire.

Pros: I used these between the lens and the reflector in my torches and they look so freakin cool after you switch off the torch because they are directly charged by the light produced when the torch is on! Really sexy green after glow! These will fit between the front lens and the reflector of a Romisen RC-G2

Pros: This is a great price for the AV out cable, I can play the clips from my D900 on my big TV (although resolution isn't the best). It's very easy to use just plug everything in correctly and #ta da# your phone display will now appear on the TV screen. Build quality is perfect, some maybe even think its a genuine accessory (not surprised if it come from the same manufacture)
Cons: Takes ages to ship, last time i tried ordering it i waited 4 weeks and ended up canceling my order, the second time I ordered it, it took about 2 weeks to ship!
Other Thoughts: I seems to drain the batteries quite a fair bit without an option to charge the phone in while using the TV out mode at the same time (uses the same port as phone charger). Left my phone connected on idle for 2 hours and the battery absolutely went flat wasn't even able to to turn it back on.
Bottomline: Buy it if you have a Samsung phone which is compatible with AV out, but don't expect it to get here any time soon..

Pros: The girlfriend loves it! She thinks its really pretty. DS fits well Very easy to use Light transition is very gradual and looks really good Useful for showing off your DS while charging
Cons: Thin plastic make the white bits go see-through when light is on Will only fit a bare DS, if yours has a case it will not fit. Please make informative reviews, reviews under 500 characters (all fields combined) will not be accepted.
Other Thoughts: It's good how it will charge via USB and wall charger. Please make informative reviews, reviews under 500 characters (all fields combined) will not be accepted.
Bottomline: It's not bad and worth getting if you own a DS and not planning on using a clear or condom case. Please make informative reviews, reviews under 500 characters (all fields combined) will not be accepted.

Pros: Girlfriend seems to like it.. Looks quite elegant and good quality materials are used on the inside.
Cons: It a little fat but no biggie. For some reason the the Velcro pads are sowed in different directions on the top and on the bottom of the case don't know if this was intentional or design fault.
Other Thoughts: This will not protect your DS when you are playing it. If you want full protection might as well get the silicon cases while allow the DS to open and close.
Bottomline: For the price it's not bad but I guess if you look at the practical side of things it just doesn't quite cut it if you wanted to protect you DS when are and aren't using it.

Pros: Best card reader I have ever bought in my life! I can confirm it is SDHC compatible with my 8GB class 6 card. For this price it could have turned out to be a nasty nasty reader that would barely work but it didn't it was freakin awesome! Very good build quality.
Cons: The word "cons" doesn't exist in this card readers dictionary!
Other Thoughts: Haven't tried it with other media yet but I'm fairly confident it will work flawlessly. Would be nice if there was somewhere to connect a lanyard up to.
Bottomline: Why haven't you bought one already! I'm buying my second one right now. Now I'm just trying randomly to used up characters as DX won't let me post a review under 500 characters.

Pros: So After receiving a dud which would heat up in excess of 100 degrees C it RMA'd it and they finally today I received my replacement. So if you ever suspect there's sumtan wrong with your then SEND IT BACK! It seems to be like a Hit and Miss thing with this laser sum get good ones some get dodggy ones. So I have been able to light matches but only if they are coloured in black and i could do this from like 1 metre away. The replacement laser I received seemed to be of a better build because it seemed some what heavier than the other one. Hurray they finally decided to ship it with instructions on how to insert the batteries!
Cons: Only thing I can think of is that the quality control of these lasers are terrible its either you get a good one or you don't Also my 5mW green is definitely more visible then this 200mW red and you absolutely will not see the beam in daylight.
Other Thoughts: The green is more for show and the red is great for burning things and popping balloons! If you want my opinion buy this instead of the stupid 30mW true green laser pen coz that was absolutely a POS I received 2 replacements and they both broke so I just ended up going for a refund and bought this 200mW red instead. Oh how much I'm loving this 200mW burner!
Bottomline: DONT POINT IT AT PEOPLES EYES!

Pros: It quite cheap for a green laser Can be quite powerful for a 10mw green laser Clear beam no artifacts
Cons: The machining on mine was crap, the metal body somehow got stretched to fit the laser head or something you can see it bulging out. Batteries don't last very long at all.
Other Thoughts: If you want something which last long then why are you even considering one that runs on AG13's
Bottomline: Cheap but powerful, great for short burst of light, don't keep in your pocket or lens will get dusty

Cons: Doesn't hold very securely to side of cup When I make a fresh new hot cup of coffee and put the lid on the condensation formed on the lid drips everywhere whenever I go to open it to take a sip of my coffee Doesn't quite cove my med-large cup.
Other Thoughts: I guess its just a gimmick, but I guess I just really wanted to keep dust from going into my cup.

Pros: It works great as a M2 to USB adaptop but thats about it..
Cons: It much bigger than the TF adaptors you can get. Build quality is crap, USB board does not line up with casing. Mine was white and blue where did they get black from?
Other Thoughts: Since its probably one of the smallest M2 to USB adaptors around I guess it alright...
Bottomline: Buy it if you use M2 and keep on your keys, it sure beats having to carry around the M2 to MS adaptor and then MS card reader.

Pros: I really like the idea of multi use products and it work.. to a degree any way...
Cons: Be careful where you stick this thing, the reason why its getting stuck in SD readers is because of the nature of the design of this card, on the USB end its missing a whole chunk from each side hence when you slide it in the SD slot of a camera things which used to be held down flat from a complete SD card might some how end up sticking out preventing the card from ejecting all you have to do then gave a good look on either side of the card to see whats causing it to jam and use a thin object to push back/flat what is obstructing the card from ejecting and it will come out. There's nothing you can do its the nature of the design if you want USB on the end then you have to deal with it missing bits from the side which may cause it to get stuck, lucky I read the warning from other so when i got it stuck in my camera i had a good look on how and what was causing it to get stuck thus discovering the real reason why its happening.. Oh but like what one of the other guys said never ever insert it into a camera with no TF card inside because if something gets jammed in the TF gap you wont be able to get anything in there to aid its removal. It a little thin for a USB slot but still works
Other Thoughts: I wonder if its possible to build an adaptor which is the exact same shape as an SD card (this will eliminate the getting stuck issue) but then have a sliding USB mechanism which slides out form the bottom for when you need to plug it into a USB port.. Sounds good doesnt it? Now someone go and invent one already!
Bottomline: Stop complaining! and thing twice before you start using brute force!

Bottomline: Its the perfect christmas gift for the office smoker.

Pros: Very good build quality.
Works perfectly as a portable HDD
So far it's played everything I've thrown at it, divx, xvid, mp3
Using the remote power button you can turn the HDD off (stops spinning)
Cons: You have to provide your own 2.5" HDD but with the prices now days I now have a 80GB PMP/portable HDD and in total it cost me $100.
You cant turn off the unit without the remote.
The power adaptor is crap best to buy one from your local shops.
Others have reported that it will only recgonise Fat32 file systems and apparently you can only formt a Fat32 file system in XP upto 30GB so thus I googled and foud this site which is a tutorial on how to format Fat32 >30GB http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm
Other Thoughts: Although this media player plays pretty much anything, you still cant throw out your typical home DVD playes just in case some one wants to actually play a "DVD".
Maybe I should have gone for the one which accepts SD cards, but I think others say this one is better quality (more testing behind it.
Bottomline: If your looking into buying a portable HDD , HDD case, buy this instead you wont regret it.

Pros: What a great price for a retractable network cable! Looks very well built with good quality plastic. Just right for those portable applications.
Cons: Haven't had to use it with too many things yet maybe I'll run into situations where it might not be long enough?
Other Thoughts: It's bigger than it looks in the pictures, but then again everything on DX is either bigger or smaller than the pics i think its the way they take the photos but its quite confusing even when a rule or vernier caliper is pictured for scaling purposes.
Bottomline: Great buy one what are you waiting for?

Cons: Build quality isnt the best I had to glue/loctie the USB section to stop it for coming apart everytime I unscred it from the pen.
Other Thoughts: Maybe a bit more weight feels a bit plastic or have the pen a bit thinner..
Bottomline: Great to have, everyone around you will find it very neat and cool! Different from the typical USB thumb drives you hang on you neck but then again this is DX and man have I seen some fuky styled usb drives.

Pros: Cheap price for Stereo A2DP head set. Paired quite easily with Phone. Build quality is quite good, same high quality plastic as my Samsung D900. Very modern look. No more annoying wires. Can use it to talk on the phone although people on the other end have reported me to be a bit soft.
Cons: When connected to phone and playing in A2DP mode while phone is in pocket it tends to cut out (skip) every now and then. Will not transmit if you cover the headset with you hand. Had trouble pairing the device while sitting in a moving car (interference maybe?). A normal 5 pin mini usb-plug will not plug into the recharging port of headset without some minor modification as it seems the port on the headset is deeper than you normal 5 pin connector (thus I had to grind back my 5pin USB cable to allow the plug to stick out more). Becomes very uncomfortable to wear after a while.
Other Thoughts: Maybe a less ear irritating design needs to be thought about. Did not come with an USB charging adaptor, instead it came with AC power adaptor, which was a shame as I was planning to use the USB charging adaptor to charge other USB items in the power point.
Bottomline: Great price for a pretty decent stereo blue-tooth headset. Give it a try if you're looking for one and sine it has no wires you wont have to worry about it tangling up.

Pros: Works great and have tried on a hand full of TV and no problem picking them up!
So easy to use....
Cons: Sometimes it take a while to pick up the TV and finger starts to hurt after having to hold down mute button for a long time lol...
Other Thoughts: Might need better range maybe?
Cannot search the TV if TV is off (purely for playing tricks at friends place).
Bottomline: So much bettert than the other universal remotes where you have to input the code.

Pros: Very bright AA powered torch. Nice and smooth machining of body. Feels like a quality torch. Nice white light produced by the CREE LED. Textured reflector enables more flood for close up work.
Cons: Ran this torch and the MTE sku.1995 simultaneously and after 3 mins the body of this torch got extreamly hot where as the MTE stays cool. Run time is less than my MTE but thats probably because this torch runs whiter. My MTE seems like a stronger build (thicker construction)
Other Thoughts: It would have been nice if torch came with GID tail (though I've already changed mine to a GID). and maybe tail stand ability.
Bottomline: Brightness rates at about the same as my MTE sku.1995, but the CREE deffinatly puts out a white light. I have tried the other $5 AA LED torches and all I can say is don't waste your time on them save up and buy either this or the MTE.
