I just took it out of the box to give it a try. Geez! It totally amazed me! Although looks like a toy, it slides like a piece of butter on ice and sucks well. I definitely prefer it over my previous expensive (>$200) Dirtdevil vacuum.
I’ll need more time to figure out its durability.

This pedometer is great. It is small enough to easily fit in a pocket. Counts steps accurately when placed in pocket, purse or bag. Pedometer also indiates number of steps that are aerobic. I have not had any problems with this falling out of a pocket. The leash with clip that comes with the pedometer works very well. I have carried pedometer several times all day with leash clipped to clothing (outside of a pocket) and clip has not come off. Have worn the pedometer in pocket with least clipped to clothing while working out in cardio class and leash stays attached.

The speed of the card is necessary for cameras with high resolution photos. Works perfectly on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35. I took about 1100 photos and still have a lot of space for another 1000 more.

When Sony made this camera, they were thinking of people like you and me, who were looking for a good camera, with a good resolution, enough features, and of course, not to spend too much.
The camera ’s 4.1 mp resolution allows you to get perfectly detailed 8″ x 5.33″ prints, if you want them.
Other features, like manual exposure, and scene modes, allow you to get more pro, so this isn’t a simple point and shoot camera if you want to do some tweaks to yor photos. The P73 helps you to take pictures like a professional without having to be one.
The P73 takes about 1 second to power up, and for continuous shooting, you only have to wait about 1 second between pictures.

PROS
- Low price / Great features
- Easy to use
- Good battery life
- Optical Zoom
- 6 Scene modes
- 3 Additional modes: Manual / Program / Auto (point + shoot)

CONS
- LCD fonts are tiny and hard to read
- Smart zoom only works at low resolutions (1mp – 3mp)
- Included 16MB MemoryStick is not enough (only 8 pix @ 4.1mp)
- Included “Picture Package” doesn’t have any edit capabilities
- Picture Package Software crashes sometimes causing damaged JPGS

Sony should give away larger MemorySticks with their cameras, but I guess that’s their strategy… if you buy a camera, you will need another MS.
If you buy the CyberShot DSC-P73 consider buying at least one 128MB MemoryStick (holds 64 pix @ 4.1MP) but I’d reccomend a 512MB that holds about 242 photos @4.1MP, so you can go on vacation and take enough great pictures without having to worry for the MS capacity.
A spare set of batteries and a carrying case would be a great companion as well.

I purchased this one to replace an analog scale that varied by -/+ 5 lbs. each time we tried it. This scale is consistent, no mater how many times you get on it within the same time frame, the weight is the same, to the tenth of a pound. No tapping, large numbers,low price, fast delivery, careful packing and most important of all, my wife said it was very attractive. I’ve only had it a couple of weeks but I am very pleased with my purchase, why pay more?

This card is a really really good deal. I went to the supermarket and they were trying to sell 2GB cards for $15. I bought this 8GB card from Amazon for my underwater digital camera, and was able to use the highest pixel settings. I could save my pics with really good resolution. My camera, which normally would have taken around 200 pictures was able to take over 600+! (I don’t actually know the maximum that my camera can hold because for my entire week long trip, I never once had to change my memory card. I felt bad for my poor friend who had to keep switching out her 2GB cards.

The price Amazon offers for this card (currently approx $25 with free shipping is totally worth it.)

At first I was not to sure about buying any Ereader because I am a very picky person when it comes to books. I felt by buying the Kindle, Sony Ereader or the Nook that I would be stuck with books I did not like since you can not return Ebooks. Well I finally decided to try to the Kindle and it is my bestfriend!!! I seriously do not put this thing down at all! I am always on it reading, searching the web or learning something new to do on it. I love it!!!!! I don’t think I’ve ever loved a gadget as much as I do the Kindle! I just feel bad because soon books wont need to be printed!

This is a great way to have my Nuvi displayed in my car, or even when traveling in a rental. You can remove the upright piece and it becomes flat to put into a brief case or travel bag. The non-slip surface does a very good job of preventing this from sliding.

This is the story of Jacob Jankowski, a prospective animal doctor, who tries to find himself after he experiences the worst possible news.

In addition, he discovers the love of his life, Marlena, and how true happiness is found in his desire to protect and defend her.
