Pleased w/ purchase

Fm Transmitter w/ UsbSdMmc Slot Compatible with iPod touch Nano Mini Classic iPhone 3GS iPhone 4S - AT&T, Sprint, Version 16GB 32GB 64GB

Pros: The price! Decent audio. Options. You can play music directly from an SD ( or micro SD w/ adapter) card or USB flash drive. Alternately, you can use the incld. cable to audio in from any device that has a standard headphone jack.

Cons: Menu navigation seems to be accomplished by advancing through choices one at a time? Limited instructions. I bought this on the advice of another reviewer that said they could charge their ipod through the unit's USB output. I found that when I cable my ipod to the unit's USB, bad things happen. Maybe mine's defective? Arrived seeming like an open box return.

Overall Review: I had an old USB drive lying around that is now a permanent fixture of the unit. It's actually a much better solution than messing around w/ all the ipod's cabling. I use it to play language learning audio files during long commutes.

Most Critical Review

Digital River bad.

Bitdefender Antivirus v10. (1 user, 1 year)
Bitdefender Antivirus v10. (1 user, 1 year)

Pros: None. Statement of fact to follow...

Cons: Dwnld instructions came after 2 days, after repeated requests to customer support. Finally rec'vd instructions/link which led to "error message 99". Then realized dwnld service provider was Digital River who likes to "g) to monitor service or purchasing patterns" among other things. Now must wrestle w/ return.

Overall Review: Newegg usually rocks. Just have the stuff physically delivered to you.

Bad mouse for the money.

HP X4000b H3T51AA#ABC Matte Black 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel Bluetooth Wireless Laser Mouse
HP X4000b H3T51AA#ABC Matte Black 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel Bluetooth Wireless Laser Mouse

Pros: Great balance and weight, slides along the desk smooth as an air hockey puck. Gives a just a hint of inertia. Paired quickly and successfully in Win 7; a rarity in my exp. Mouse wheel gives a satisfying click and has a concave tread which is nice.

Cons: The pros mean little if it doesn't work. It doesn't work. It disconnected about 8 times a day. Had to manually re-connect through services. Rubber wore off. Died after 2 years.

Drivers inseparable from software

Pros: It's a good card for the price delivering good performance.

Cons: You can't dwnld drivers separately from the bloatware/spyware. The "information collected includes but is not limited to" clause purposefully ensures that you don't know what info they're collecting. Promises you can manage what data is collected and how it is used; doesn't deliver.

Overall Review: People need to wake up and get smart about insisting their Constitutional Rights. RD-like sponsored vote down in 3... 2... 1...

doesn't work

Wacom UP710E Tablet PC Eraser Pen
Wacom UP710E Tablet PC Eraser Pen

Pros: You can use it to navigate.

Cons: It's no accident that the one-piece "single switch" is meant to resemble other one-piece double button pens. If you read other reviews you can tell they expected double buttons as well. Also, the single switch does not work on my asus Slate despite having the latest drivers. It's no more functional than the pen it was meant to replace.

Overall Review: The packaging does only just enough to protect it during shipping; it was a little beat up but not damaged.

ungood.

V7 M30P10-7N Black 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Mouse

Pros: cheap.

Cons: Is super spastic. At times it is difficult to get the cursor to hover over your intended selection. This is especially frustrating when working on art. Bottom line, it doesn't work as intended.
