*Identical* to Olympus version

SanDisk Type H 1GB xD-Picture Flash Card Model SDXDH-1024-A10
SanDisk Type H 1GB xD-Picture Flash Card Model SDXDH-1024-A10

Pros: Price, Speed, Capacity.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Note that this product is *absolutely* identical to the (slightly more expensive) 1GB Olympus type H card: it even comes with "Olympus" written on the card itself. Look carefully at the product images and you can see this. I assume that SanDisk manufacture the xD cards for Olympus. So save yourself a buck or two and buy this version!

Worth persevering with...

Adesso AKB-901 Mini USB Keyboard with PS/2 Adapter (Silver / Black)

Pros: Nice keyboard, with a good key layout. (Works well for me, at least.) I was initially disappointed at the stiff feel of the keys, but I found that they loosened up nicely within a few days. If you buy one of these, give it a little time!

Cons: It's a cheap keyboard, but I've been using mine for well over a year, and it's held up well. It's compact, and As noted above, the keys felt pretty bad initially, but improved significantly with a little use.

Overall Review: If you want a reasonably-priced mini keyboard, this is a good choice. I was also tempted by the BTC keyboard, but the layout of the arrow keys was a show-stopper for me.

Comments: I've no quibbles with the quality of this monitor: the image quality is excellent, and mine arrived with no dead pixels at all. The built-in speakers are nice if you want to save space on the desktop. My only reservation is that there's no DVI input connector. This is quite clear in the NewEgg description, but somehow I overlooked its absence. No biggie, but that makes the display a little less flexible, and a little less future proof.
