Pros:

>It’s tritium powered. That’s a radioactive isotope of Hydrogen.
>It works quite well for being a novelty item.
>Converts energy from beta decay of Tritium, releasing charged particles which impinge on the phosphor coated glass vial. This causes the vial to glow. Simple yet fascinating.
>Halflife of 13 years. This means that the intensity of the visible light emitted will be halved after about 13 years!!
Amazing to show off to friends. Now all of mine want one!!

Cons:

>Pricey.
>Considered as Dual Use tech in the US and hence may land you into hot water if a scintillation counter picks up a reading. Typically a Geiger Muller counter will not pick up a reading from this keychain.

Other Thoughts:

It’s quite visible in the night and once your pupils dilate, you’ll be able to see that this keychain will illuminate a 3-4 sq inch area around it. It’s safe for human handling as this unit only emits beta radiation. This radiation will, in most cases, not penetrate the glass wall of the vial

Bottomline:

Get one to showoff to your friends. You wont be able o stop bragging about it, I promise!!

Pros:

>Very cool metallic look.
>Good fit in the ear. Doesn't feel really tacky or hurt the ear after wearing it for extended periods.
>The earphones came in a nice sealed packaging. Good for reselling/gifting as it is.
>The sound quality is comparable to a Sony earphone pair I have. Sound is evenly good and not tinny.
>The build quality is great. No seams, no loose joints..

Cons:

>The spare earbuds could come in unisex colors. Pink is not what I'd wear to my gym.. :)

Bottomline:

The quality to price ratio is very good. One of the good deals that DX has!!

Pros:

*Has a torch[Fairly bright 4 LED version]
*Comes with mobile phone connectors and a mini USB cable
*The connectors fit well
*It works well on rechargeables
*I charged a Nokia 6110 Navigator from 10% battery level to 50% battery level in 20-30 minutes with 1x Duracell AA
*Charges low current requiring devices with a Mini-USB socket.
*1xAA fairly easily available
*Costs less than $5 shipped.
*Very sturdy. Dropped it twice, no damage or cracks.

Cons:

*Threads not lubricated.
*Reverse clickie[very unsettling]
*No O-Rings
*No Motorola charger cable[Old round type]
*Non GITD clickie[Trivial]
*Slight flickering on charging or while using the flashlight[Maybe due to a capacitor]

Other Thoughts:

*Use Duracells or 2000mAh+ rechargeable AAs.
*If you use a half empty battery to freshly charge a device, it may or may not work.

Bottomline:

Get one as it's dirt cheap and since it's one of the things that will come to use during those long drives/blackouts when you need to make a phone call.

Pros:

* Plays Divx, Xvid, 3GP and MP4 encoded videos
* Plays MP3 and AAC
* 2.8" touch screen
* Very responsive Touch Screen
* UI very iPhone like
*Good screen clarity
* Camera
* Comes with 2GB in built memory
* Uses Mini SD card and is expandable to 2GB
* TV out function
* Games
* Reads Ebooks[txt format]
* Has Auto Scroll for ebooks
* Amazing price
* Displays album art

Cons:

* Build can be improved
* TV out cable not supplied
* SDHC not supported
* No FM
* US type plug for power supply
* Earphones are made from crappily molded plastic. Hurts the ear..

Other Thoughts:

=>Format the Memory card using the player before you use the card. Certain folders that are needed for proper functioning of the player are created.
=>To transfer data into the PMP
* Switch the player off
* Plug in the computer
* Switch the player on
* The PMP will then enter the USB mode.
* You can see two removable drives created:
1. The onboard memory.
2. The removable mini SD memory.
=> There's a stylus in the left upper side receptacle.
=> The mini SD card goes in label down
=> Music files go only in music, Ebook files in Ebooks and so on..
=> All the music files must be placed directly in the music folder.
=> If the Music/Video folders have any sub folders, the player just hangs.

Bottomline:

All the pros outweigh the cons by a large amount. Worth the price..

Pros:

*Looks quite good for the price.
*It isn't cheesy or look obviously fake.
*The chain is of perfect length.
*The pendant looks quite good.

Cons:

*A gift packing would be nice. The plastic packet it comes in is very cheapish.
*I'm very doubtful of the white gold plating of the chain. It doesn't look long lasting.
*The chain is very flimsy. Looks pretty breakable.

Bottomline:

I bought it for a friend and she loves it. er friends even thought that it was a more expensive branded version with a real diamond. It's a steal for less than $3.Get them in tens and give them around..

Pros:

*Handy
*Sturdy build quality[Wont feel like a aluminum tube in your hand]
*Amazing thrower[150 feet minimum]
*Warm white light[More pleasant for the eyes]
*Threads pre-lubricated[No screeching]
*CREE XR-E emitter[Good reliable emitter]
*Cheap[Just over $10]
*Uses 1xAA
*Amazing life on a single battery

Cons:

*Not much of a flooder.

Other Thoughts:

I'm using it with sku.7729 and have no visible difference so far. Even regular cheapo alkalines work for a long time.

Bottomline:

Get it. Definitely the best torch this side of $15.

Pros:

*Cheap [$5.43 for a pair]
*Low Discharge
*Good capacity[3000mAh rated, I think it is more or less around ~ 2000mAh]
*Can be charged in any charger
*Good retail packaging

Cons:

*None

Other Thoughts:

Here's what I did. The batteries arrived with some charge. So I put it in my Nikon charger, ran a discharge cycle and then charged it. Works like a charm.

Bottomline:

Get them. They wont disappoint you. You know you want one.

Pros:

* Extremely cheap for the price. If you Google for the product, the prices are $50+
* Works very well
* Sturdy
* Automatic on and off
* Has manual in Engrish and Chinese. ;) Check the photos.

Cons:

* Uses a US plug. Had to get a converter.
* The basin that holds water is not easily detachable. Requires you to lift it and disconnect some wires of the Ultra Sonic module. If you just pour the water out without taking out the basin, the water might get into the gap between the basin and body, and short the ICs and the circuits inside. You can understand this if you see the photos.

Other Thoughts:

Works really well. Get some for your family and one for 50cent. ;) Empty the water when done and wipe the basin clean to prevent corrosion. Do not use the device without water in it.

Bottomline:

Every this's amazing including the working and price, but the basin is a minus. But in my opinion, if you use it well and take good care, there should not be any problems.

Pros:

*Comes in a 3-pack
*It costs less than $2 shipped.
*I can't find them around my place. Costs $3 for a pack, at a nearby supermarket.
*Works perfectly.
*Good quantity of the colored stuff.

Cons:

*Could be sold along with the plant :)
Who am I kidding.. No cons for this product!!!

Other Thoughts:

Leave it in water for at least 24 hours for the small colored thingys to become bigger. Do not eat.

Bottomline:

Works great and is extremely cheap. Gift it to your mom/wife/girl-friend, she'll be more than pleased. Get it!!!

Pros:

Simply amazing torch. Has three modes:
* Regular torch: All three LEDs light up.
* Reading light. Flip up the side panel where three LEDs and a reflector pair up as a reading light.
* Alarm: This is just a mode where red LEDs blink on and off.
It's rechargeable and hold charge well. You'll need to recharge every 5-7 days if you just use the flash light sparingly.

Cons:

*Button's a bit hard to press. At least for my grandma.
*Charging cord's really short: less than 10cm.
*It could be brighter.
*You have to cycle through all the modes to use any function.

Other Thoughts:

I got it for my grandma so that she wont have to get D cells anymore. She likes it even though the switch's a little hard.

Bottomline:

Get it and you wont regret it. This is one charge and forget torch.

Pros:

*I can use my cigarette lighter powered devices in my house
*Powers my GPS device
*LED status indicator
*100V-240V worldwide operation

Cons:

* Wish it had a round EU type pin
* Could have better build quality

Other Thoughts:

Works wonderfully. Is not available locally, even it was, it wouldnt be this cheap. LED indicator is great and bright.

Bottomline:

Buy one if you need it or not. Chances are that you'll use it someday. Buy a round pin converter for use in EU or in Asia. DX should stock more devices with round pins and not force us to get converters.

Pros:

Looks Good
Cheap
Good gift/stocking filler

Cons:

Bad build quality
Surface is a bit dull
Crystals look dubious

Other Thoughts:

Good gift provided you re-wrap it. My package came all squashed with the necklace in a plastic pack. My sister liked it a lot and her friends want one as well.White gold plating is probably non existent. The necklace itself is quite stringy. Dunno what I should put in involvement level.. Understands inner workings?? lol..

Bottomline:

Buy one and gift one provided you re-wrap it.

Pros:

*Wireless!!
*I can listen from my cellphone to music through it
*Sturdy
*Cheap
*Tiny
*Fits well even without the clip
*Multiple Call functions

Cons:

*Little difficult to pair
*Audio starts crackling beyond 2-3 meters
*Audio lacks highs and mids and is a little too bassy[deep]
*Audio not clear and loud at the other end

Other Thoughts:

Fits well without the clip as well. Hold the button for 5 sec for switching on and off. When on pressing the button momentarily causes voice recognition of phone to start, if pressed for 2-3 sec it redials the last number. To pair, switch off the headset, hold for about 8-10 sec when the led glows steadily. Then pair using code 0000 . Charges in less than a hour and led changes to green when charge is done.

Bottomline:

Would have been an amazing piece of hardware if it had a better audio quality. Good buy nonetheless.
