Olympus Stylus 7000 12MP Digital Camera with 7x Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom and 3 inch LCD (Silver)

I just started using this camera and like its features. Lightweight, yet 12 MP, very easy setup and operation. the 7x zoom is excellent and the super-macro is amazing. You can take photos from less than an inch. The 3-in viewer is crisp and bright, the controls are well positioned and I was able to start using most features without reading the manual. The in-camera editing is nice and the quality of the images is excellent. The only thing necessary that is not in the box is a memory card. You will need a xD picture card (Olympus, Fuji, Sandisk) or a microSD card that fits into the adapter. Versatile camera, highly recommend it.Buy Olympus Stylus 7000 12MP Digital Camera with 7x Optical Dual Image Stabilized Zoom and 3 inch LCD (Silver)!

Transcend T.sonic 840 4 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)

I am comparing this to a video iPod and the multimedia features of a Blackberry 8820 (which are similar to those in the 8300 series, Curve). For a beginner's video/music player and picture viewer (i.e., mother-in-law), this is a great unit at a great price. The software is ok (no way as good as iTunes, or even Roxio (BB)), the features on the unit are good, and it is enjoyable to use, especially for someone who is not sure they want to use such a player.Buy Transcend T.sonic 840 4 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)!

Cisco Linksys 500 GB Media Hub with LCD

What can I say? This product is great for people who want a little more than the standard external hard drive. Here is what I found so far to be excellent:

The Good:
1. Included Software - Set-up choked the first time. I followed the process and tried again - everything worked as planned.

2. Support - The unit comes with a CD-Rom, unfortunately I do not have a CD-Rom drive on my laptop. No problem, hit the linksysbycisco.com website and download the CD image. Good to go!

3. Remote Access - Enabled the remote services. Got to work - started showing off my pictures to a co-worker while listening to my music and then downloaded the picture to their laptop. They asked "Is this picasa?" and I answered "No, this is running at my house." As Darth Vader said "Impressive - Most Impressive..". I will admit that in slide show mode, the way the pictures bounce around the screen is a little annoying. I am sure they will clean this up in a software release.

4. Coolness Factor - Not one person I showed to was not impressed. Granted, the software could use some improvements - this thing is awesome - loving it!

The bad:
A. It appears that after one year you will need to pay $9.99 for remote access. Only reason why this is bad is because it is not explicit when you buy the product.
B. Remote video access pretty much does not work. If you are buying this for this feature look elsewhere.
C. If your music is in the itunes m4a format - no web based play out for you! You will need to launch in quicktime outside of the browser.
D. It is next to impossible to locate a file on the server unless you know where you uploaded it from.

Nice job Linksys/Cisco. Not a game changer yet - but definitely a strong start.

Well Done!Buy Cisco Linksys 500 GB Media Hub with LCD!
