5 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT.......2007-12-27

I love everything about my new 8 GB ipod nano (blue). It's my first and it's perfect... used the free shipping and it got here by Christmas too! So easy to use!!

1 out of 5 stars Requires Mac Operating System Upgrade.......2007-12-26

I purchased this to replace an older Nano. On connecting it to my Mac Mini I was informed that I had Mac OSX Ver 10.3.9 and would need to upgrade to OSX Version 10.4.8 so the new Nano would be recognized.

On Googling this it appears that Version 10.4.8 is no longer available and that I will have to upgrade to Leopard - which is currently not getting the best upgrade reviews.

If Apple requires a particular version of their operating system for the new Nanos to work then this information should be included in Amazon's product description.

This isn't the first time I've had a less than positive experience with Apple and I can understand that Nano 3rd generation sales might be less if the box was stickered "warning, may require operating system upgrade", but frankly I feel the way the Nano is being advertised takes the buyer beware experience to new levels.

5 out of 5 stars Great gift!.......2007-12-26

I purchased this as a Christmas present. It works great & I have a very happy woman in my life now. The size is good. Fits well in pockets. No complains so far... of course I'm not the one using it everyday either.

5 out of 5 stars tiny!!.......2007-12-26

5 out of 5 stars so cool.......2007-12-26

The i-pod is so cool, it is better than I thought it would be. My order was not received in the specified time. I contacted Amazon and they sent me a replacement because the original was never delivered. I got it in time for Christmas.

5 out of 5 stars WOW! This thing is awesome!.......2007-12-26

The iPod Classic has had TOO MANY one star reviews by people who don't even own the iPod or had shipping problems. DON'T listen to those! The click wheel is a little less sensitive than the previous 5th gen iPod video, but is still very usable (the only problem is that iPod cases with click wheel covers won't work). But it is still an amazing product. The cover flow works good and the only doubles I have are albums with more than one artist (which does bug me a little.) I love the split screen effect and all the new interface. If you want a nice MP3 player that's easy to use and has all the bells and whisels, plus can hold your entire music collection and still have over half of the space left... you will like the new iPod Classic! I will update if I have anymore problems.

5 out of 5 stars fabulous ipod...no problems.......2007-12-26

this ipod is worth the price. absolutely no problems that some other reviews stated. it is perfect!

Amazon.com Product Description

Entertainment and sharing to go. That's the Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player. The Zune plays music and videos, displays images, and unlike the iPod, it even receives FM radio so you can stay on top of local news or sports. Designed around the principles of sharing, discovery, and community, Zune connects people and empowers them with the tools needed to share entertainment experiences. The Zune experience is centered around connection--connection to your library, friends, community, and other Zunes. It's powered by software that allows users to manage files on the player, rip audio CDs, and buy from a wide selection of music and videos at the Zune Marketplace.



The Zune lets you share music and pictures with other Zune users in the area.


The controls are designed to be familiar and easy to use so you can jump right in and start having fun. View larger.


Zune software can find compatible music files on your PC and copy them to your Zune device.


Wireless Zune-to-Zune sharing lets you share your favorite tracks and photos.


Browse more than 100,000 artist bios and hundreds of playlists in the Zune Marketplace.
The Zune is a 30 GB digital media player, but there's a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures, or your own home-grown tunes directly from Zune to Zune (within 30 feet). You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you love, and easily buy them the next time you sync up--its like test-driving songs before you purchase an album.

The Zune's navigation is simple and intuitive with a scroll wheel and basic buttons, and the big, bright screen makes it easy to browse music and show off your favorite pictures and videos. This attractive, smart device stores up to 7,500 songs, 25,000 pictures, or 100 hours of video. Get creative. Make playlists on the go and watch slide shows while you're listening. And if you're watching video on the Zune, you'll be pleased with the landscape mode that allows you to get the most out of the vivid display.

Zune-to-Zune Sharing
Don't forget the primary principle of the Zune: sharing. With this device in hand you're holding an opportunity to share music and photos wirelessly from one Zune to another. Send your favorite tracks or images to your friends, or just about anyone with a Zune that's within your reach.

Whether you're walking down the street, in a room with a bunch of friends, at a concert, at the airport, or on the bus, you can whip out your Zune and see all the other Zune devices that surround you. In the blink of an eye you're connected to your best friend and you can send over your band's newest song. Another friend might get the hilarious podcast your little brother made at school, plus that hot new song you just downloaded from the Zune Marketplace. And, of course, there's all the good stuff that your friends want to send back your way. The connections are made and the Zune community grows.

Best of all, the song you sent (or received) isn't a short 30-second preview--it's the whole song. Your friend can sample the song up to three times in three days, flag it on their device and then buy it from the Zune Marketplace. You can send pictures, too. If you loved the photo of your dog at the park and you just have to share it with your buddies, shoot it off to whoever is around. And any pictures that are sent or received can be kept and viewed indefinitely.

Sometimes you don't want to be noticed, and the Zune allows you to fly under the radar. All you need to do is turn the wireless function off, or adjust the privacy settings to control whether people can see you are online. And if you want to keep your Zune private while studying in the library or reading the newspaper on the bus, you can also block Zune devices in wireless range from sending you a song.

Zune Marketplace
Zune makes it easy to find music you love--whether it's songs in your existing library or new music from the Zune Marketplace. You can easily import your existing music, pictures, and videos in many popular formats from your PC and browse millions of songs at the Zune Marketplace where you can purchase individual tracks or buy a Zune Pass subscription to download as many songs as you want for a flat fee. Plus, you can apply Microsoft Points towards the purchase of music so you can buy online without a credit card for added security. At the Zune Marketplace you can read over 100,000 artist biographies and features from leading magazines including XLR8R, NME, and FADED, and you'll have easy access to Billboard Charts, including Billboard 200, Hot 100 Songs, and more. You'll even be able to browse what people in the Zune community are listening to by checking out the Zune Charts.

Pre-Loaded Content
Zune is a vehicle to explore new sounds and share entertainment experiences. With that in mind, the Zune comes pre-loaded with a variety of songs and videos from hot, new artists, as well as some fun films and images. With something for everyone, the pre-loaded Zune content may help you discover your new favorite band, but at the very least you'll have some entertainment at your fingertips so you can start connecting and sharing. Zune pre-loaded content includes loads of audio tracks, music videos, and film shorts, plus 12 classic rock posters from "Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion."

Zune Accessories
You can choose from a full line of accessories to outfit your Zune. These three Zune Accessory Packs provide complete solutions for Zune in your car, in your home or while you travel. Individual accessories are also available.

What's in the Box
Zune 30 GB Digital Media Player, earphones, USB cable, and sleeve.

4 out of 5 stars Great Price and Shipped Before Christmas--Thanks!.......2007-12-27

What a great deal on a great competitor to the over-priced iPod. Although the product was priced for shipping after Christmas, it arrived two weeks early!! How often does that happen?!? Microsoft is continuing to work out the remainder of the quirks with protected media, but I think that will be solved soon.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT MP3.......2007-12-27

Just recently received this, and it has been working great. Better product than we thought.

1 out of 5 stars Worst Product Ever.......2007-12-26

This product started out great at the beggining but when the software was downloaded it began to mess up my computer! now my whole computer is dis-colored and screwed up! i completely recomend that you do NOT get this product. such a waste!

2 out of 5 stars Good hardware, bad software.......2007-12-26

I recently got a 30 Gb zune for Christmas and have encountered numerous situations both good and bad. The Zune itself is a nice little player, it looks great with a very easy to use system. The sound quality is good, the option to set pictures as a background is always fun, and the screen is beautiful. The only downside is microsofts annoying habit of including vital system operations in the memory, so you actually only get approximately 29.5 Gb, no big deal. All in all this looks like a great little device, but as soon as you connect to your PC (and you must) it turns devilish.

The first thing you may notice is that as soon as its plugged in, either to charge or to set music, you can't listen to it. While plugged in it is completely useless. Sure, I can overlook this feature. Then you start with the software, holy cow the software.

The Zune software will have to update itself about a zillion times before you can use it. Then when its ready to use, you must 'sync' anything you want with your Zune. Of course this process is imperfect specifically if you're trying to re-sync something for the purposes of organization. Of course the worst part is the complete inability to organize your own collection. The Zune probably takes pride in doing this for you, unfortunately pride is only one of its sins.

It can't seem to get any albums or artists right, particularly if its from any source other than zune marketplace. The result is lots of songs organized under "unknown artist" or "various artists" when you know there's only one artist and who it is. Then it will probably break up your album into 5 or 6 "unknown albums" and assign it an arbitrary cover art from some other place in the software. Finally, the coup de grace, you can't manually input album or artist information for individual songs. So, you're finally stuck with either tons of unknowns or grouping them into awkward groups that don't have anything to do with each other.

Unfortunately, this makes the clever menu system on the Zune itself completely bogged down with tons of random and incorrect information. You have to wade through the forest of menu to reach the correct "unknown album" for you particular song.

Typical microsoft: Good hardware, terrible software. Its too bad, cause I really liked the thing initially.

5 out of 5 stars What a bargain!.......2007-12-26

I couldn't believe the deal I got on this 30GB Zune! It was cheaper than the sale prices on the 4GB in discount stores! What's even better is that it was exactly what my son wanted and I saved a bundle.

4 out of 5 stars Mine fell off the desk........2007-12-27

During set up my unit fell off the desk and it recieved a horrible scratch on the display screen. The USB cable is very short and while setting up the tension on the cable knocked it over and onto the floor where it hit a sharp corner on the desk and scratched the display screen. I already need a repair part! Other than that I am happy with mine. Watch out for the short USB cable. I use a much longer one from my computer supplies now. I should be able to call Philips and order what I need for the display.

4 out of 5 stars Top Notch Picture.......2007-12-25

Gave to the wife for Xmas. She loves the bright and crisp photo display, plus the frame has some heft so it won't flop over unexpectantly. I received this a couple of weeks ago and set up 63 photos onto a 32 meg card skipping the 16 meg internal memory altogether. It took a little time to master the sequential modes of going through menus but really nothing to it when you recognized the simple < > up, down enter button interface ( not a touch screen). My biggest disappointment was how I assumed that the frame had a back-up battery or the ability to play on it's own internal battery. ???? I had flipped between the Philips White, Wood and this one. Dispite that qlitch I kept the frame and will live with that snafu. Oh yes, original price I paid was $120, Amazon dropped the price in early Dec to $99 and promptly credited my Visa for the difference.

2 out of 5 stars A beautiful disappointment..........2007-12-23

I did extensive research before buying this as a gift for my 90 year old mother. What appealed to me about this vs much less expensive frames was: easy operation, high resolution, and a built-in battery so you could unplug it and carry it around to share pictures.

The images really are beautiful. But the product no longer comes with a built-in battery (Amazon has removed the mention from its website since I purchased though it's still in Philips' own product sheet). And the interface, though simple (just a few buttons) is by no means intuitive. I'm used to technical things yet it took me quite a while to figure out how to navigate the many menus in order to do the simple task of loading in a few pictures and getting rid of the annoying default slide show effects (which are way too intrusive and distracting) and big clock in the corner of the screen.

Unfortunately, as soon as you unplug it the defaults return... it's obvious the software has not been updated since the battery was removed from the product specs. It's a beautiful disappointment and, were it not 2 days before Christmas as I'm discovering all of this, I'd return it for a more basic model and use the savings for a couple of memory cards.

5 out of 5 stars I love this!.......2007-12-20

I absolutely love this digital photo frame. Great resolution and color. My husband bought this for me for Christmas 2006. I set it up in our kitchen on the counter. About 3 weeks ago, the digital frame died. I freaked out. I called Amazon. They practically laughed and I'm sure the CS Rep that I was a crazy woman, so I called Phillips and they immediately sent me a replacement and a pre-paid shipping label for the dead frame. I couldn't believe they did this since I had the frame for 11 months! What great customer service.

This year I bought 3 of these frames for gifts.

5 out of 5 stars Very pleased with this digital frame.......2007-12-18

This is my very first experience with any digital frame, and thanks to so many that reviewed this product, I purchased two as gifts. It was a tad tricky to get the settings like I wanted, but that was just a learning curve on using the buttons; once I had it figured out, it was a breeze. The frame looks nice, heavy and feels like it's build to last...the quality of the pictures is way better than I'd expected, so I was very pleased. It didn't take much time at all to load, and while it does have some internal memory, it pays to buy an external memory card and just load it up with tons of photos. Anyone you're doing this for will love it, and I was so thrilled I was hoping to order myself one today, but I see they're out of stock!

Highly recommended, especially for the price...

5 out of 5 stars Faster flash photos than Nikon D40X.......2007-12-27

If you are looking for a camera to take a lot of indoor photos with flash (of your young children like we do), the Canon is much faster with flash photos than the Nikon. My mother-in-law has the older, 7 megapixel Canon, which takes awesome photos. We went to the store to get the newer Canon, but ended up taking home the Nikon since we were told the menus were easier, the glass of the standard lenses was better, and it came with more free stuff. We compared it to mother-in-law's camera over the holiday, and the Canon was much faster. We have since exchange our Nikon for the Canon XTI, and see a huge difference in the speed you can take flash photos. Luckily, we did this in time for the photos of Santa's gifts on Christmas morning. :)

5 out of 5 stars Excellent camera, especially for the price.......2007-12-27

The Rebel XTi is Canon's prosumer/semi-pro DSLR, but it takes absolutely fantastic photos. Your investment in lenses is protected because you can mount any of the EF or EF-S series lenses on the XTi. If you decide to upgrade to another Canon model then your lens collection can go with you.

The Rebel is very pleasant to hold (I have large hands); it feels sturdy and well built. It weighs very little; hand-holding is very easy and comfortable.

Boasting a plethora of configuration options including a mirror-up mode for macro shots, the Rebel produces extremely noise-free images all the way through ISO400. ISO800 is entirely usable, but exhibits some noise. Image quality is excellent; the large resolution means that you can crop your photos and still get 8x10 prints.

Like all DSLRs, the XTi allows you to work directly with RAW files. If you prefer, you can shoot in JPEG+RAW or just JPEG. RAW files are about 10MB, so make sure to get a large memory card. I can fit about 760 RAW shots on an 8GB card. The camera makes intelligent decisions in its automatic or semi-automatic modes. That said, my best shots have all been in aperture priority or full automatic mode.

As a first foray into DSLR photography, this is an excellent buy. Don't get it just for megapixels or to say you have a DSLR. I used a Canon S3 IS for years with excellent results. By no means do you need a DSLR to get high-quality images or flexibility. Better image processing and interchangeable lenses are what set DSLRs apart from even prosumer point and shoots. Speaking of lenses, I don't recommend the kit lens; instead you might look into the 28-105mm lens or the 17-55mm IS lens - both from Canon.

4 out of 5 stars Worth the price.......2007-12-26

This is my first DSLR camera. I bought this to learn photography. I would say that this camera is worth for the price. I would suggest to buy just the camera body and go for a better lens. This camera has decent enough features for a DSLR. This does not have the live preview option though.

5 out of 5 stars Best DSLR Camera.......2007-12-23

I am more than 100% satisified with this camera. I knew about the features well before I purchased, so no regrets. I would refer and prefer this camera to all those SLR lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Great value and still so versatile!.......2007-12-23

Canon has thought out this camera well and put a good
collection of useful features from its higher end DSLRs in this
model. Consequently, this camera has all the features that would keep
a budding photographer fulfilled for quite some time. In addition, the
great price allows you to spend more on good quality lenses, bounce
flash, and other accessories.

The useful features:

- Excellent picture taking: low noise sensor, ISO 1600 is quite usable. Fast
startup: camera is ready to shoot almost instantly at the press of
the shutter. Fast drive: 3 frames per second. With an Extreme III CF
card, one can shoot 27 shots before the camera becomes busy.

- Great user interface: One key access to white balance, ISO,
auto-focus modes, metering, drive, and AF points. These are all so nicely
laid out in the back of the camera. The grip is fine but could be a
bit more rounded. Light and compact.

- Ability to separate focus and exposure buttons with CF4 custom
function. This feature is poorly explained in the manual, but when
used with AI Servo AF, it makes the camera do less work and helps
you take great pictures. I also use custom white balance a lot. RGB
histogram, overblown pixel highlights, mirror lockup to prevent
camera shake are other useful functions.

The body is one quarter or even one-fifth of the picture taking
apparatus. The second quarter is a good lens (spend as much on a lens
as you will on the body), and half is your own dedication and skills
in photography. Invest in a bounce flash like speedlite 430ex or you
will be stuck taking pictures at home at ISO 1600. Buy some
photography books like Understanding Exposure.

Happy picture taking with this excellent body!

1 out of 5 stars A Very Disappointing Xmas Gift.......2007-12-27

I gave the Flip Ultra as a Christmas gift. Out of the box my son had no problem taking videos without instructions. That was a positive since it doesn't really come with much of a guide. Our problems started the day after when he tried to install the self contained software to edit his movies. "Installation Failure" is what he received so we rebooted and tried again, same error. Checked the website and found a firmware update which installed without problems. It didn't help and still received the same error. I tried it with the antivirus and firewall shut down, again same thing. Tried it on my laptop, same thing. Searched Flip's website but its support area is pretty lame and doesn't offer any real trouble shooting advice. Finally tried it on a third computer and It Worked (??) but its not the computer the software needs to be on...so back it goes. Not sure why it worked on one out three computers but the software was one of the selling points for getting it. Even without the installation working I could copy the movies off of it with windows explorer. All my systems run XP sp2 with DirectX 9 and Media Player 10 and more than meet hardware requirements. At the price of many real camcorders this buggy device was a big disappointment made worse by the fact that I gave it as a Xmas gift.

5 out of 5 stars At Last...the Portable Camcorder for the Impetuous Luddite...Like Me.......2007-12-26

Long ago, I gave up on any aspiration to be the next groundbreaking underground filmmaker probably because I couldn't be bothered with the onerous weight of a video camera on my shoulder and the prospect of bursitis. The additional complication of converting the videotapes to a format that would work on my PC was almost as daunting for a near-techno-phobe like myself. Now finally comes a pocket-sized camcorder that would have been like manna from heaven all these years. At a reasonable price of about $150 and a size smaller and more portable than most cell phones, the Flip Ultra Series Digital Camcorder is impressive simply for its sheer convenience and ease-of-use.

One of the best aspects of this camera is the built-in software that truly makes it a one-stop recording tool. You don't have to worry about installation discs or memory sticks that I tend to forget with my regular digital camera. On the right side is a USB plug, which folds conveniently into the side of the camera. To release it, you just slide the release lever and the plug pops out ready to connect to your PC. The videos become .AVI files on your computer, which make it easy to view on any standard video-playing software. On the left side is the power switch. You simply flick it once to turn it on to record and then again to power it down.

On the face of the camera is the VGA screen, small at 1.5 inches but genuinely legible for its size. Underneath is the four-way control button. This is where you make all your adjustments when it comes to zooming, volume control and library management. It takes a few tries to get used to the full capabilities of the arrows, but it's impressive once you get the hang of it. What is clear from the outset is the function of the big red record button in the middle. You press it once to record and then press it again to stop. It's as straightforward as it could possibly be.

There is the playback button to the left and a delete (trash can) button to the right which you use once you're in library mode. I have the sixty-minute capacity version with 2GB of built-in memory, which is more than enough to meet my needs to record small-scale events and random moments you just want to have for posterity. For its miniature size, the image is pretty clear and while not state-of-the-art, the resolution is well beyond my expectations. When you see the same video on your PC screen, there is a certain level of graininess evident but not enough to compromise my viewing experience.

The auto-focus - which is a strong part of its appeal - works very well, although I am a bit disappointed that there is no flexibility for zooming beyond 2x. One worrisome aspect is the way the camcorder hangs by the USSB plug when connected to a PC. It just seems precariously mounted and ready to break suspended as it is like that, and the purchase of the Flip AUC1CP1 USB Cables for Flip Camcorders is necessary to minimize the risk. I just think the extension cords should have been part of the original package.

The makers, however, did make a smart decision to have the camcorder powered by two regular AA batteries (which they include in the package) instead of a power pack more intractably built into it. That way you don't have to worry about specific parts you could only get from a dealer. The package also includes a RCA video cable for TV viewing, a wrist strap, a soft carrying case, and of course, the instruction manual - which seems anticlimactic given how intuitive the camcorder is. This one is truly for which all of us luddites have been waiting all these years.

1 out of 5 stars Watch out! You might get a defective one! (More common than you think).......2007-12-26

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R14EJ6QXLF2QRD This is partially my fault. I read the reviews before I bought this and people have brought up how the program locks up and stuff like that, but the flip people said it was rare. So I figured, if it's rare then it'll be okay. Yeah, no... not really.

I'll start off with the bad... Because, this is how I'm feeling right now.

Yeah, I'm one of those people who got a defective one. I'm beginning to think it's a 50/50 chance. Well, the camcorder isn't defective, it's when you're trying to transfer it onto the computer. It locks up! I'm sure you've heard it already. Well hey, I UPDATED the firmware, and it STILL freezes at "reading videos". But wait, I figured, I didn't need the program and I just wanted the videos. I found the videos in DCIM, BUT THERES NO SOUND!
Well hey, I downloaded a couple sound codecs, and installed the codec that came with the computer (i forgot what it's called.. let's just say I did it all) I deleted all the videos and THEN it finished reading the videos this time with that program. yay! But wait, not fixed yet. Oh yeah, the videos have sound now, BUT ITS 3 MINUTES OFF!! I'm frustrated and really pissed off at this point, but I calmed down a bit and decided to EMAIL the tech support. I told them my situation and all the steps I've already taken.
So I deleted all the videos again and did some new one, and I'm at square one. Reading videos gets stuck at 0% and then freezes again.

Two days later...(well, i don't blame the wait, it was Christmas). Anyway, they emailed me back and all they said for me to do was update the firmware. At this point I'm pretty pissed off. I want this thing fixed! I figured, maybe it's a new firmware. Nope, my flip camera says it's up-to-date.
And so.... I read at the bottom of the email.... It says:
"If you encounter any difficulties, please contact us for assistance via email or by phone at 1-888-222-6689."
Hey! A PHONE NUMBER! If I NEED ASSISTANCE! Tell me if I'm right that it's a help phone number. I mean, when you read that quote, you think it's kind of like a tech support number, right? I thought so, and I'm standing by that.

Anyway, I called the number and waited a while till someone picked up. I briefly told her my situation, and she gave me the biggest attitude any person could give me. She tells me this is actually the customer service number and that I'd have to EMAIL instead to get it fixed. I'm thinking, I ALREADY EMAILED! So far, I've gone nowhere with this! I'm absolutely fuming piss about this thing.. especially with the person I had to deal with on the phone... *sigh* So anyway, I emailed the tech support again.. this time emphasizing in BOLD that I've already updated the firmware. My goodness, I think they don't really read it, and that the automated computer just looks for keywords. Anyway, I was about ready to return the item, but my boyfriend tells me that I should wait till tomorrow for a reply to see what they say. If nothing new, then... return it will go.

Oh, now for the good. Since I did give it one star, there's gotta be something good about it.
The quality is a lot better than expected. I was pretty amazed. I have another camera that works very poorly in unnatural light, but this flip camera can record in dimly lit rooms and make it look lighter than it really is. As for sound, sound is good too. lcd screen is awesome. :)but yeah... that's it.
But anyway, I'm most likely going to be getting the RCA small wonder instead. Expansion slot, cheaper, AND you can move the lcd screen. I hear it's the same quality, so as soon as I get a clear return on this stupid flip, I'll definitely buy that RCA one.
Anyway, here's a little sample video I've made.

5 out of 5 stars Flip Video Camcorder.......2007-12-26

I purchased this camera as a gift for my nephew and he absolutely loves it. His main reason for wanting this particular model was because it is so easy to use. I personally liked that Amazon had the best price and their ordering process is so easy. They are also able to deliver more rapidly than most other companies I have purchased from.

4 out of 5 stars multi age gift!!.......2007-12-26

I purchased four FLIPS, one for myself and 3 for my grandchildren. The kids (ages 6 and 8) loved them and enjoyed several hours of "making movies" on Christmas day. My older grandson (21) also loved it and will be using it to capture some DJ work he is doing. Some of the adults who are not comfortable with "technical gadgets" found it easy to use and cute. Great camera, thanks to Rosie O'Donnell who first let us know about the FLIP on her blog. This was a little advertised holiday gem!!!
