Pros: - The learning function works perfect
- well designed
- could use only one remote instead of 3 i was using before
- can control A/C, but I don´t have a Remote Controled A/C yet
Cons: - uses 3x aaa (they only sells in pairs here in Brazil)
- It could permit to rename ie. from VCR to Home Theater.. I dont knwow anyone who use a VCR nowadays..
Other Thoughts: This is a realy useful item from DX. I´ve didn´t lost my time finding the codes, just learned all buttons one by one.
Bottomline: Great item if you want to control everything with just one remote. I´ve programmed all buttons from all my 3 controllers (TV, SAT, STEREO) in each function, and used DVD mode to program the most used buttons. I´d like it better then a LCD Touchscreen remote, because you can press the butons without have to look to the RC.

Pros: - Very small and easy to carry - Seen to have accurate measures - Perfect to weight fish and bikes :) - Big display, very easy to read - claimed to support 40Kgs -------------------------------------
Cons: - only the "hold" function that I think is unecessary... -------------------------------------------
Other Thoughts: I´ve bought it mainly to weight my bikes, but it could be very usefull specially if you go fish, or go shopping. I´ll buy more of it to give to my father because he likes very much fishing.
Bottomline: This not have a very good precision for small weights, but to weight big things it´s perfect!! If you like to fish, it´s a "must have" item.

Pros: - small sized - robust - smart designed
Cons: - the plastic seens not to have a very good quality
Other Thoughts: When I first saw this I imeediately to myself: "How couldn´t anyone thought this before?" This is a specially good idea for those who have a digital camera that use SD cards, there is no need to carry the cable together with the camera.
Bottomline: Another must have device for those who have a camera or other device with a SD slot. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pros: -plays divx very well, also mp3, mp4 (from my Nokia N95), pictures have a good quality, and also plays more formats claimed by the manufacturer that i haven´t tested yet. -works very well as a portable HD, powered just from the USB port, and comes with double USB conector cable for use to power the device if a single port can´t supply it. -very fast access compared with the others DVD multimedia players I´ve seen. -supports multiple partitions (NTFS and FAT32) and shows it like separate disks when you power it on. -The remote is very usefull and its size is very good (not too small but not too large).
Cons: -can´t show complete file names, just the firs 18 characters. -the OTG (on the go) function is slow. -get VERY HOT when in operation, I reccomend to use it upside down when you using it as a multimedia player, this way the aluminum case can better dissipate the heat. - The subtitles are kinda small, and have some problems that I´ll detail below.
Other Thoughts: These are the subtitles issues: 1) it shows broken words, and sometimes two lines in one 2) don´t know why sometimes it shows some carachters and sometimes not
Bottomline: Besides the problems with heat and subtitles, it worthed A LOT because something like this here in Brasil will cost R$180 (something like U$110). Now I have a very portable multimedia player and a mass storage to use on my desktop and laptop.

Pros: lifetime warranty by kingston -Small -Easy to use -cheap -with the apropriate adapter, could be used as a miniSD and a common SD card. -with one of these and a small USB microSD reader, you could have a very small jump drive (i have one and keep it in my wallet)
Cons: -do not come with a miniSD adapter
Other Thoughts: It would be a very good idea to ship a miniSD adapter with this and expand the possibilities of usage.
Bottomline: Works fine with my Nokia N95, worked well on my old Nokia N80 and a miniSD adapter. I also use it with digital camera, my car´s audio player and as a jump drive with a small USB reader.

Pros: -Very small size -Good read/write speeds -Nice looking -The card keep very well attached inside the reader (no risk to fall out)
Cons: -the keyring holder looks fragile -little difficult to remove the card from the reader.
Other Thoughts: I´ve bought one of this and one of other similar to SKU 6234 and I preffered the 6234 because i usualy keep it inside my wallet and it do not have the keyring holder, making it occupy less volume in this case.
Bottomline: Great to use as a keychain, but I suspect that the keyring holder could break easily

Pros: -It works -The leds blinking when it´s spinning does a -nice effect at dark -Very cheap
Cons: -Build quality is not so good -The spinning rotor is not well balanced, this thing produces a lot of noise and vibration when in use - It´s very difficult to start it without use the "little rope" included
Other Thoughts: If you really want to excercise your arms, wrist and hands, I suggest you to buy the original one. This one not spin too fast, it´s not balanced and it´s difficult to make it start spinning fast.
Bottomline: Very nice toy for it´s price, but it do not replace the original one.

Pros: - Very small size, easy to carry - Very well built - The case appears to be very resistant - Optional 5V power source
Other Thoughts: When I opened the package that it came in, I´ve been surprised for it´s size. It´s a lot smaller than I thought. It´s a great product, works great, and it´s USB cable can be used on my N95 and my digicam.
Bottomline: If you want to atach a lot of power hungry devices, I suggest you to buy a 5v power source for it with a goog current suply (something like 2A or more).

Pros: - Very well built, long cord, nice 3.5mm plug - Sound quality is good - Very good noise isolation - 3 silicone caps to adjust the earphone to different sizes of ear.
Cons: - Smells weird - I´d prefer a 90 degree conector, plugged on my N95 it´s impossible to put the cellphone on my pocket.
Other Thoughts: This is a very good option for those ones that are not too woried about sound quality. It have a good quality, but in my opinion, the high frequencies are not much defined and the base frequencies are little weird.
Bottomline: If you want cheap earbuddies these are perfect for you, but do not expect a very high quality.

Pros: Incredible slippery pads, very good replacement for my original pads that got wasted by the time.
Cons: Absolytely no cons. Maybe is a good option offering it in a bigger package, something like 20 or 30 pads.
Other Thoughts: I´ve had test some other similar products and no other gave me soo good results like this. My mouse almost "float" on the mousepad surface. Very reccomended item
Bottomline: I had a A4 Tech mouse since 2003, it´s a damm good mouse, and its very similar to Logitech MX500 but 1/3 price. Now I´m happy as ever with my mouse´s performance. Surely I´ll buy more of this.

Pros: -Good sound quality -Compact Size -Work as a flash drive -Lithium Battery -Charge via USB -Come with extension cable and USB charger. -Good package box.
Cons: -Bad quality earphones, bad sound quality, too short cable and mine came with the wire broke. It´s still working but will break anytime. -Buttons are hard to press. -Command response is too slow.
Bottomline: It worth the price. If you are not expecting user-friendly and pratic menus, and if you have a good quality eraphones to replace the originals, its a good deal. I don´t have much experience with cheap MP3 players, bought this one to ride my bike without have to carry my cell phone (wich is large and expensive).

Pros: Very bright and strong light.
Cons: -The plastic is too weak -The mount is too far from the center of gravity causing the light not to have a proper fixation -Too easy to break the battery covers. -Bar mount size too small
Other Thoughts: I do not recomend this item because it´s to weak, and will never resist even a soft ride in a non-paved road. If it get broke even during the shipping, won´t last five minutes on a bike trail.
Bottomline: I read some reviews on this, and tipically the people that bought it says that the build quality is bad, but I did´t imagined that it was so bad. Mine came with the two battery covers broken, and when tried to took the bar mount away i´ve broke the mount lock. Shipping it back do DX from Brazil will be too expensive, so I´ll try to buid a better mounting base for it. Althought, the leds are very good.
