Not bad but not wonderful either...

This was our first GPS system & we loved it at first & then we realized that there were better ones out there & we started seeing the flaws. It's very slow. Sometimes you might drive a whole mile before the map has even loaded. Sometimes we pass our...

Best gadget EVER for video iPod

I have two of these-one for the children shows and one for the adults. Watch your video iPod on TV. It's great. The remote is very unreliable, but you don't need it once you set up your playlist, use the 'repeat all' setting and each movie/video...

Plug 'n Play

Simple out of the box to playing. Thrilled with the overall sound. Two features I would like to see added are the ability to scroll through ipod menues via remote. (not a huge drawback since I have to get up close to see my nanos screen anyway) and...
