Most Favorable Review

64GB for Asus Transformer 700T

Team 64GB microSDXC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter, Speed Up to 100MB/s (TUSDX64GUHS03)
Team 64GB microSDXC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card with Adapter, Speed Up to 100MB/s (TUSDX64GUHS03)

Pros: The card was affordable and as large as I could get in the tablet.

Cons: (not a fault of the card) In order to get it to work in my tablet, I had to put it in a carrier and format it on my computer. Before that, the tablet didn't see it. I suppose another "con" would be that the SD carrier it comes with doesn't have the USB "nose" I've had with A-Data cards (pull off a shield to reveal USB leads)

Overall Review: The "XC" type cards abandon the "CLASS" value that used to easily denote speed. This one is apparently the equivalent of CLASS 10, and it seems to keep up with the tablet.

Most Critical Review

Good & Bad

ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T-B1-GR NVIDIA Tegra 3 1GB DDR3 Memory 32GB eMMC Flash 10.1" Tablet PC Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

Pros: bright screen good proc & graphics for the $ 802.11n dual-band WiFi (not typical!) Good fast GPS Better than usual cameras for tabs right now takes a 64GB micro-SD, some stop at 32

Cons: power & volume on top, so you can't stand it up upside down. power connector integrated into 40-pin bottom connection so you can't stand it up right side up either Running 15v power through a USB device is imbecilic! Totally impossible to diagnose. A ring-barrel connector on side would be much better. Case-side is a bit sharp for comfortable handling without a protector case. No door over sd slot. I/O is "strange" -- slower than it should be. like the engineering to it is wrong.

Overall Review: My other thought would be that, the refurb I bought (not from Newegg, but same price) died at 97 days! So factory refurb doesn't mean very much. I recommend paying the extra for the extended warranty.

Good but not perfect

Baaqii A217 NEC Chip 720202 Express card ExpressCard 34mm to USB 3.0 2 Ports Adapter Card

Pros: Good price. Does work once the right driver is installed.

Cons: Typical multi-product driver CD Pulling anything out pulls the card out of the ExpressCard slot, so if you plug in two things, you have to hold the card in with one while pulling out the other, then hold the card in while pulling out the second one.

Overall Review: Of course HERE you see "NEC Chip", but there is on such designation on the product, so you get a CD with TWO different USB 3.0 drivers (and several wireless adapters). Use the one in the "GRIS 34MM 2 PORT NEC.RAR" file and you'll be fine. You can even plug it in first, and the driver installs fine.

Works but OBD2 is a circus

BAFX Products 34t5 Bluetooth OBDII Scan Tool for Android Devices
BAFX Products 34t5 Bluetooth OBDII Scan Tool for Android Devices

Pros: Bluetooth design allows unit to remain in car and be used with smartphone or tablet. I have paired it with both.

Cons: The unit could be smaller, and quite apart from this unit, OBD in general has been Balkanized so horribly by car manufacturers that it is unlikely that ANY OBD reader you buy will give you the abilities you seek.

Overall Review: OBD software you'll find for Android or iOS is universally poor, shielding you from available data, even when the software cannot adequately interpret what it reads. I have tried several OBD2 readers, and they all produce different (disappointing) results in the SAME car. So the issue here is that OBD2 itself has become a total mess -- don't blame the reader or software.

The best, but with issues

Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 (PA03656-B005) Duplex 600 dpi x 600 dpi USB / Wi-Fi Color Document Scanner
Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 (PA03656-B005) Duplex 600 dpi x 600 dpi USB / Wi-Fi Color Document Scanner

Pros: The sheet-feeding mechanism in the Fujitsu is simply the best in the industry -- they're known for it. The space-saving design is good, as is scanning to portable devices using WiFi.

Cons: The software flips pages arbitrarily, often when content is short. The in and out feeds could be larger/longer as legal pages often fall on the floor. It would be nice if it could scan "unattended" so that mail could be scanned into PC-based client without intervention at the computer end, and sorted later.

Overall Review: It would be great if software could "learn" or be taught common media, like the pattern of a phone bill vs. credit card bill. I wouldn't even mind being up-sold better document management software. That and barcode location and decoding would be a great feature that is common in commercial scanning systems.

too shakey

iKross Ultra Compact 2in1 Vehicle Car Windshield / Dashboard Mount for Samsung Galaxy S5 Active, ATIV SE, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S IV / S4 Mobile Smartphone

Pros: The one beside my bed works fine, where nothing moves.

Cons: The one in the car is not suitable for road video or anything that requires the phone or device to be stable. It falls off the windshield frequently, mainly because the "rotary" suction lock pops back to open. (and this is on a SMALL smartphone, the HTC One VX) Forget anything like a S5 or newer iPhone.

Overall Review: It is very difficult to find a mounting orientation that works on a windshield, and few cars have a smooth spot on the dash to mount this thing there.

another phantom from nowhere

This may be a NewEgg problem or a vendor problem, but as it stands, I'm left having to just hope the package arrives sometime before I DIE! There is no way to track anything ordered. And it apparently takes a GOOD LONG TIME to get anything from Tomorrow Top!
