I bought this replacement battery value pack for my Panasonic DMC-ZS7 AFTER being assured by the reseller that it would be 100% compatible with my camera. Except that the company that put this "value" pack together swapped out the advertised Power 2000 batteries (which I've used in the past AND which still work) for batteries known as PremiumTech. These replacement batteries (PremiumTech) do not work AT ALL and do nothing more than give an error message across the display screen before the camera shuts down! To make matters worse, I have been unable to get this matter (and the false advertising) resolved by the reseller. And no, I did not update the firmware for this camera which would prevent the use of non-Panasonic batteries for the DMC-ZS7 (or for that matter, the ZS5 and the ZS3). So beware if you own one of these cameras: Panasonic's firmware update does NOT provide any enhancements or new features other than to force you to buy their replacement batteries (which are about 3x as expensive)!
Also, the mini tripod that comes in this value pack is WAY too small to be of any use as it only stands about 4 inches high.

Kensington Auto Power Adapter with USB Power Port K33418US Review

Kensington Auto Power Adapter with USB Power Port K33418US
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought this from Amazon about 5 months ago to keep my Blackberry 8800 charged in my car. This product when used with my original Blackberry USB charger was about 1/3 the cost of a dedicated Blackberry car charger.
Pros:
1. Small and thin - this unit is smaller than the "traditional" USB power adapters that cost $2-$3 like this one from Eforcity. Size was important given the limited space I have available.
2. Angled USB Port - again, unlike other traditional models, the Kensington is angled so access to the USB port is easier.
3. Excellent power delivery - fully charges my Blackberry in 30 minutes while it's in use and connected to my car's bluetooth handsfree system. Even fully charged my 5G iPod in about an hour while it was playing through an AUX port (not recommended though due to the constant whine as another reviewed pointed out). An old adapter I'd used previously didn't have enough power to both charge and use my phone yet alone an iPod.
Cons:
1. Price - obviously not the cheapest option.
2. Blinding blue LED - with the angle, the blue power LED is bright, super bright actually. Not a big issue during the day, but it can be distracting at night. A small piece of black electricians tape or similar material works fine except if you experience Con #3...
3. Loose contact with car's power receptacle - probably more symptomatic of my car than the adapter, but it doesn't always make a tight fit. I've tried adjusting the contacts but couldn't make enough of a difference to help. Spinning it to a different location usually works but the only way I can tell for certain is from the unholy blue LED power light.
Was it worth $13? For me, yes; but I'd have given it 5 stars if the cost was closer to $8.

JBL On Stage Micro Portable iPod Speaker and Docking Station (Red) Review

JBL On Stage Micro Portable iPod Speaker and Docking Station (Red)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the JBL ON Stage Micro in red for my office. It has AMAZING sound for such a tiny unit! I have the Bose Sounddock for my iPod at home and I gotta say...this little speaker sounds like Bose's little sister! I got it on sale at my local Best Buy for $59 because, I guess, they were closing out the red one....the other colors were on sale too, but the red was the cheapest and I liked it best anyway. You will NOT be disappointed in this speaker. It comes w/ an adaptor for every iPod imaginable. I have a 30 G video and it fits nice and snug in the adapter when it is docked in the On Stage Micro. The sound is rich, clear and deep. It takes up very little space, as it's footprint is about the size of a small teacup saucer. Bonus: besides all the adapter inserts, this unit also has a cloth zippered carrying pouch that holds the speaker, cord, remote....w/ enough room for your iPod too! Oh, and the remote is great....finally, one I can control the iPod's menu with! Can scroll thru songs and everything.

Philips 20PF5120 20-Inch Flat LCD TV Review

My wife an I love this t.v. We have it in our bedroom and love it's compact size and great picture. It took only minutes to get it from the box to viewing. It is very easy to navigate through the on-screen menus. The only draw back I have seen is the remote. I had to return the first one I bought because the remote quit working. The replacement developed the same thing after two months. I called philips and they were very helpful and sent out a new one. I also bought a universal remote at best buy for 10 dollars (also by philips) since then not a problem three months..

The 20-inch Philips 20PF5120 LCD TV is a great addition to a small room, such as your kitchen, or for cosily watching movies in your bedroom. It can also double as a PC monitor with its VGA video input. It has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner for standard television broadcasts. It features Philips' Crystal Clear III video processing, which combines a whole range of enhancements to provide a better picture, including a dynamic contrast, blue stretch and green enhancement for the most natural looking colors. This set includes a tabletop stand, but it's also wall-mountable with optional kit (VESA compatible).
The 20PF5120 has a 640 x 480-pixel resolution, 160-degree horizontal and 120-degree vertical viewing angles, 16 ms (millisecond) response time, a 450 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and a 500:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) It has three screen format adjustment options: 4:3, 16:9 compressed, and 4:3 expand.
The 3D comb filter separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion. It performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl, resulting in a razor sharp image.
This TV has two built-in stereo speakers that produce 5 watts per channel (for 10 watts of total power). Philips' Incredible Surround audio technology dramatically magnifies the sound field to immerse you in the audio. Using state-of-the-art electronic phase shifting, Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left and right in such a way that it expands the virtual distance between the two speakers. This wider spread greatly enhances the stereo effect and creates a more natural sound dimension--without the use of additional speakers.
It includes a DVI-D input for uncompressed digital RGB connection from source to screen. By eliminating the conversion of the digital signal to analog, it delivers an unblemished image. Thanks to the non-degraded signal, you get less flicker and a clearer picture. The DVI input is fully backward compatible with HDMI sources, and also uses HDCP copy protection. It also includes the following connections:
Composite AV (RCA) In: 1
S-Video In: 1
Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
DVI-D In: 1
RF In: 1
VGA PC input: 1
PC Audio In: 1

What's in the Box LCD TV, remote control (with batteries), tabletop stand, power cord, printed operating instructions

Celltronix Universal 4-Way Power Hub Review

Celltronix Universal 4-Way Power Hub
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought this product from a travel stop and paid much more than Amazon price (I should have shopped Amazon first, they would have at least given me the protection, and apparently the much better price). I bought this with included cables and AC adapter packaged with a nice travel pouch as well. It simply does not charge multiple devices at the same time. It even has a hard time charging one device at a time. All hubs light up nicely green when the power is applied through the adapter but the plugged in devices don't appear to be charging. If you really push the connector in with some unusual force, you can get one hub to turn Red, which then shows your device is charging. I can't seem to get it to work with more than one device (Cell phone + Blue tooth headset or iPod). Will not charge my Blackberry at all. The hubs just do not turn red and charging is not indicated on the devices needing the charge. Very disappointed because I am travelling again and had left all other chargers at home. This product left me stranded. Can't figure this one out, and I am more than technically inclined.

The charger charges the battery very well. The one thing about the charger that I do not like is that the battery must be put into the charger on it's side to match the terminals. It even comes with a European plug adapter. It has a car cable too.
