Pros:

Bottomline:

very good and cheap screwdriver set for occasional use

Pros:

very cheap
extremely good functionality like realtime cheats, realtime guide, slowmotion (through the cheat system ... search for slowmotion.scc), softreset for homebrew ........
support for the 3-loader, which allows to boot into 3 different menu systems.

Cons:

it is not as beginner friendly as other carts. This is caused by the features which this cart supports. So if you are a newbie, which is not interested in the technical backgrounds, you could also consider to get a flashcart with less functionality but more user friendlyness like the acekard 2.

Other Thoughts:

cheats can be downloaded from sccheats.co.uk
3-loader from bliss makes it possibile to use 3 different menu systems by pressing different buttons on startup. You can use the native SCDS1 menu, the DSTT menu and the simle looking but very versatile YSMENU.

Bottomline:

Extremely usefull, very high compatibility, very man features, possibility to use 3 different menu systems
IMHO a must have for not newbie NDSL users

Pros:

cheap
very convenient (simply plug it into your computer)
works as expected

Cons:

the cable is very thin ... but no problems with it until now

Other Thoughts:

I use it to cut down on the number of adapters. I use an USB Power adapter (costs a few dollars here) to charge my phone, mp3 player, psp, nds lite. Very convenient.

Bottomline:

Cheap and it is doing its job well

Pros:

Original Kingston Japan 2GB MicroSD card. (Japan branded SD cards are said to be faster than taiwan made ones)
Comes with SD Adapter.

Cons:

Price is the same as in the local shop ... kingston does not seem to give DX much of a rabatte.

Other Thoughts:

I was tired of waiting, and bought one in the local shop.
Price was the same, and the local bought is a few percent faster (also kingston 2 GB JAP) ... I think it is just normal variation of speed (19.6 vs 21.3 mb/s)

Bottomline:

I am very satisfied with both my local bought and my DX bought.
But than again they cost me the same, and the local was in my hands in 10 minutes, the DX one needed 3 weeks .......

Pros:

good battery ... lasts circa as long as the original battery
comes with battery cover, which can be opened without a screwdriver (this is IMHO more valuable than the battery itself ;)
comes with a screwdriver

Cons:

battery is definitely not 2000mah ... but it is a good replacement for the original
screwdriver is too big for the screw in the original cover

Bottomline:

It is a good replacement battery with a GREAT feature.
It comes with a replacement battery cover in black, which can be opened without a screwdriver. This is a great addition to the Nintendo DS Lite.

Pros:

relatively small.
good mp3 quality
direct mini USB connection for loading the accu and for data transfer
comes with USB power adapter and mini USB cable
FM radio functionality
can record from built in microphone and FM radio (quality of the recordings is not the best, but suitable to record something quickly)
supports random play, has a mini LCD display, where the filename of the song is displayed (I think it is the filename and not the ID3 TAG info)

Cons:

absolutely crappy earbuds
ugly colour
american plug for the USB power adapter (need converter for europe - few bucks at DX)
comes with chinese as default language, hard to set to english.

Other Thoughts:

radio only receives 2 stations here ... do not know why.

Bottomline:

suitable mp3 player, when combined with better earbuds.

Pros:

very cheap.
real USB 2.0 and really fast (especially compared to other DX SD card readers).
Second Cap is attached to the reader, so it can not fall off.

Cons:

relatively biiiiiiiiiiiiiig and bulky.
If there is not much room by the USB port, it will not be able to get attached.
USB Plug Cap can be easily lost, as it is not attached and loose.

Other Thoughts:

Real USB 2.0
I get the maximum transfer rate of 20 MB/s with this. Compared to 4.4 MB/s for SKU 0011 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11
access time is also good (0.8 ms)

Bottomline:

Pretty good workhorse. Will not win beauty contest, but does its job very well.
I use it together with a Microsd to SD card adapter, and it gives me the maximum speed the MicroSD is capable of.

Pros:

combined slot 1 and slot 2 solution.
good price.
supports game roms, homebrew, gba roms.
has soft-reset and cheat mode.
3-in-1 support included. Cam be used as extra ram for opera, dslinux and SNES emulator.

GREAT rom compatibility good basic features.
3-in-1 can be used as a standalone card, once GBA rom loaded into it.

software based on moonshell can play mp3 and videos in dpg format.

comes with a good stilus and some other junk (finger stilus and screen cleaner)

Cons:

many people seem to have problems with the new revision (NYE) ... I am lucky, because here it works great.

No SDHC support (so maximum of 2 GB Micro SD card supported)

Bad support from the ez team.
Software is not that intuitive. Many modern features are missing (in game menu etc.)
softreset not allways works.
cheat mode works, but its usability should be improved.

Other Thoughts:

go to the homepage of the ezflash team, and download the latest kernel (1.70 as of now ... 1.72 beta has no cheatmode)
first only copy the update.bin file, boot while holding the r button and update flash by again pressing r. then copy the rest.
support can be foung at http://ezflash.sosuke.com/ there is also these 2 articles:
http://ezflash.sosuke.com/wiki/index.php?title=ALL_YOU_NEED_FOR_EZV
http://ezflash.sosuke.com/wiki/index.php?title=EZFlash_V_quickstart_guide

get also rudolphs exploader ... it supports the new 3-in-1 and it auto patches GBA roms, and can load ROMs <=16 MB to the ram (which is MUCH faster)

Bottomline:

I bought it mainly because I thought that it is tightly integrated with the 3-in-1 ...
well the integration is not that tight, and the featureset is also not that great.
But for me it works well, and all basic funcrions work. (I am not suffering from NYE problems as save malfunction, and sleep mode anomalies as others.)

Pros:

looks really amazing!
has more "lightnings" than I thought it will have.
Not really high price.
comes bundeled with a USB cable.
Can be used when plugging in to a computer or to a US style USB wall plug. (fo europe an adapter is required ... comes with US wall plug)
has an on/off switch

Cons:

do not really see any.
Not very usefull - but a very neat gadget for us geeks. Bottom looks a bit cheap - but hey ... it's under 15 bucks

Other Thoughts:

bought an adapter for the wall plug, and now I can use it for the plasma ball, my mobile phone, my mp3 player, my Nintendo DS Lite and my PSP ;)) (the last 2 USB cables are from deal extreme too ;)

Bottomline:

Does what it should. I'm quite happy with it.

Pros:

Veeeeeeeeeeeeery cheap
fairly good quality - perfect fitfor my ageing nokia 3330.
wear seems to be similar to the original nokia battery

Cons:

I have not noticed any. I do not really see a difference to the original battery.

Other Thoughts:

I loaded it to full capacity before use - do not know weather this is required. At the end of the battery life, the display sometimes drops from 50% charge to nearly empty ... usually if I forget to recharge

Bottomline:

It seems to be a good replacement. I can't judge how it stands for hardcore use, because I use it in my secondary phone, which is not used that often, but I have not noticed any problems with it.

Pros:

really cheap
comes with a remote controll (same as the wired remote - play, forward, back, vol+, vol- )
has component svideo and video output
has input for psp charger, which charges PSP if it is inserted
stand has a blue light indicating when the remote is pressed.

Cons:

it seems that the charger has to be plugged in in order for the sound to work
naturally (because of the stand) it is not very usefull to play games with it while plugged in

Other Thoughts:

it would be awsome if the remote controll could be slidden into the base of the stand, so that you canÄt loose it.

Bottomline:

a great product, except the fact that you have to plug in the charger in order to be able to hear sound on the TV!

Pros:

it's very cheap
it is really useful and is great as a keychain
amount of light is really OK

Cons:

the BIG problem when using this as a keychain is that the on/off switch can *VERY* very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very easily turn on, and it will happily shine in your pocket as long as the battery lasts.

Other Thoughts:

if the switch is changed from a press - on- press off type, to one that only turns the gadget on when pressed, it would be a very good product, but as it is now it can't really be used as it is meant to (as a keychain)

Bottomline:

a good product, but for me it turns too easily on accidentally.
this very much hampers the use as a keychain!

Pros:

very cheap
works flawlessly

Cons:

none (for that price tag)

Bottomline:

very cheap battery replacement

Bottomline:

Cons:

works only with some TVs
big for a keychain

Bottomline:

This is a nice gadget, and it even works on some TVs ... looks good

Pros:

gets the job done
very cheap

Cons:

only interim solution

Bottomline:

great cheap adapter if you only want to copy something from the disk - no longterm solution

Pros:

cheap, works flawlessly

Cons:

fit is very tight
no writable eeprom, cannot be converted to pandora unbricking battery

Bottomline:

Is a good and cheap PSP battery.
(not original sony)

Pros:

Very cheap
works

Cons:

Half the speed of other Readers.
3.5 instead of 7.2 MB/s (with the same MMC card)

Bottomline:

great price, if high speed is not needed
