Peak PKC0BL 450 Amp Jump Starter/Power Inverter/Inflator

Peak PKC0BL 450 Amp Jump Starter/Power Inverter/InflatorI have used this product to inflate bicycle tires successfully on several occasions, used the DC outlet to recharge a GPS, and yesterday my car battery (2000 Honda Civic) went dead so i got a chance to try the jump starter. Worked fine and was able to jump start the car several times.

Downsides to the product: inverter is a little noisy, and the initial charge time to charge this product takes 34 hours from an AC outlet.

Also the inverter switch is not behind a panel the way the other switches are; this would have been useful to have because it means I need to keep the product in its box to prevent the inverter switch from accidentally turning on if the device rolls around in my trunk.

I received this product about a year and a half ago as a gift. Just last week the air compressor stopped working. It would still run, but would not inflate. Even though the 90 day warranty was over, I called 1-800-477-5847 to see what my options were. The representative from Old World Industries was willing to send me a new one even though the warranty had long expired. I find that type of customer service very rare today.

This thing is pretty amazing in what it can do for the low price. Sure, it has it's drawbacks, such as a relatively weak 500ma charger & noisy inverter, but all those things can be forgiven by the small price tag. I use the inverter to run my laptop when I am away from a power source and I can usually get a few hours worth of use out it. This thing was much cheaper than buying a new laptop battery and can do so much more. If it were any more expensive then I would say pass but for the price it is definitely worth it.

Let me start of by saying that this replaced a 5 year old Vector brand that treated me very well.

This battery even when brand new and fully charged for days it would not turn over my Vehicle. The Vector brand battery would turn my car over even after using it as an auxiliary battery and left sitting in my trunk for months.

Peak should stick to antifreeze instead of slapping their name on junk.

I may have possibly gotten a bad unit, who knows. I also feel like it is a waste of resources producing a battery that is garbage from the start.

I bought this box in February 2012. It would not hold a charge at all; Sometimes the air compressor would work, but failed to ever jump any of our vehicles. The warranty was only for 90 days, but I sent an email to the Peak team 8 months later, and within a week and a half, they sent me a replacement!! Awesome! Thanks Peak!

Motorola T7100R 7-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios (Pair) (Silver)

Motorola T7100R 7-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radios
  • Communicate from a distance of up to 7 miles away
  • 22 channels to communicate from along with 38 codes per channel
  • Comes with rechargeable batteries and drop-in charger
  • Backlit display for easy viewing in dark places
  • Comes with removable belt clips to clip on anywhere

I bought this 2-way radio to use around the rural community I live in, especially for communicating in emergency wildfire situations. It is an area with rolling hills, many pine, oak trees and brush.

The Good: Easy to use, clear instruction manual, more than enough channels, clear sound.

The Bad: It didn't work over a mile as soon as line of sight was lost. If there is a hill between the two radios, I could only hear a click that the other radio was trying to transmit, but no communication.

The Ugly: The radio is very cheaply put together. The rechargeable battery pack is almost impossible to insert into the battery compartment. While trying to insert it, I broke one of the battery poles in the battery compartment. I was able to repair it with some solder and glue, but I wouldn't try to remove and re-insert it. If you use AA batteries only, it shouldn't be a problem. They are easy to insert. I also tried to remove the belt clip from the radio in order to have clear access to the battery compartment. There is a little tab on the belt clip that keeps the clip on the radio, you need to pull that tab to release it off the radio. Well, the first time I pulled the tab, it broke off. After that, the clip wouldn't stay on the radio. All this experience even before I started using the radio made me conclude that this is not a well-constructed radio, and does not deserve the Motorola brand. I am returning it and I will look at the commercial grade ones instead (such as the CP200).

I am in the military, currently deployed and purchased this radio to use as a second form of communication among our squad. Although the set works, its range is smaller, its batteries do not last as long, and its about twice the size as other Motorola sets. In fact both of my radios often miss traffic that everyone else picks up. I would recommend looking at another Motorola radio before you waste your money on this.

I recently got these radios for Christmas and I am pretty impressed. They are easy to use with very clear sound. I previously had a set of Motorola 2 mile radios and in comparison, the T7100Rs work 100x better. I just got back from a vacation in Disney World and found these radios to be extremely handy. In the group of people we were traveling with we had my two 7-miles, and 4 2-miles. No matter where you were in the park you could always hear who had the 7-mile radios which wasn't always the case with the 2-miles. The only draw back was that they were just a little bit bitter than the normal Motorola radios. If you are buying these radios expecting to use them over any 7 mile terrain, don't. When they test the distance, they do so in some flat part of the dessert. I think these radios are great and would recomend them to any casual user wanting a little extra range.

my dad bought 2 sets of these and i bought one. two of his broke when he tried putting the rechargable battery in. and one of mine broke. the ones we got the battery into without ruining the radio we were not impressed with .. very poor sound quality. I hope motorola recalls this radio. I would encourage anyone to avoid this radio.

Depending on the use you would give to the radios they are very functional and cool to use. I use them with my informatic team and we work in a four stories building. Great reception in about 4 kilometers. Great accesory!

  • After market replacement car adapter
  • save money on batteries

I can't find these plugs in the stores and was so glad that this was availavle. Other universal adapters I have got never work; either they don't fit or just doesn't provide the power necessary. This Car Plug worked wonderfully with my Portable DVD player and now we are able to use it again on our roadtrips.

Phone Halo Protect Tracker - Black

Phone Halo Protect Tracker - BlackFirst, my review:

Great concept, solid looking Android app, and long battery life. There were two issues that caused me to return the item

1) VERY cheap housing material/build quality! The keyring is just waiting to break..and the whole thing has a dollar store tactile feel to it.

2) KILLS your phone's battery! (Tried on stock MT4G and N1 w/CM6.1) If you want the GPS logging, it literally relies on your phone's GPS being on 24/7..otherwise, it'll just give you the tower-triangulation location, which has an accuracy of +/1,000+ feet. The device doesn't have it's own GPS integrated, despite what it semi-implies.

For my purposes, I just bought a cheap bluetooth headset and downloaded the Car Locator app, which will save your location whenever a bluetooth device unpairs with it.

That being said, the bigger issue I have with this item is the obvious clutter of shill reviews!

Notice how most of the 5 star reviews appear to sound like commercials...acting as though this changed someone's life on the same scale as having a third thumb? Well, feel free to click the reviewers posting histories, and you'll notice that nearly all of them have reviewed only this one item..ever. Also, many of these suspect reviews are bunched around February 4th of 2010. Keep in mind that this is the same company that gave themselves a 5 star review on the Android Market with the comment simply being their email address.

To further reinforce the dubious nature of some of the reviews, hop on over to PhoneHalo's website and click "about." You'll quickly notice that their CTO/Co-Founder suspiciously shares a last name with 2 of the 5-star reviewers. Sure..it's possible that people have common last names but what a coincidence that, within one click of the Phone Halo Facebook page, the fact that Ann is the CTO's mom and Carrie is his wife stares you in the face. Also, on "about" page, you'll notice that Glass Lighthouse media put together their marketing video. What a coincidence that one of the reviews again, from someone that isn't an Amazon verified purchaser is from none other than Glasslighthouse. Furthermore, another glowing review, left just a few days later, is from someone by the name of "Jeremy Canterbury". Want to take a wild guess at the name of Glasslighthouse's CFO?

There are certainly some high reviews that sound legitimate, but without the fake ones pulling up the average, the item would probably have a 2 at best.

Disclaimer/clarification: I am, in no way, shape, or form, involved with any consumer electronics companies, and have no vested interest in the success/failure of this product. I am simply a buyer who had to put up with their runaround to return the item (bought it direct through them since it was cheaper), and I feel fleeced, since I depended on those reviews when selecting the Phone Halo.

This is a cool product idea, but it had too many bugs. It would lock my phone whenever it felt like it. Even turning every thing off (all alarms, notifications, etc.) And turning the app itself off wouldn't stop it. My keys would be sitting on top of my phone and the alarm would go off.

I occasionaly leave either my Blackberry Tour or Keys behind. I reviewed both Zomm & Phone Halo. I ruled Zomm out because it's built-in bluetooth speaker doesn't play nice with other bluetooth headsets or the bluetooth speakerphone in my car. The Phone-Halo paired fine with my Blackberry Tour and will make it ring when they move too far apart (beyond bluetooth range). But I have one major concern which may cause me to return it.

1. The beeper volume on the Phone-Halo is so low you can barely hear it. Not good if you're looking for the keyring its attached to, especially if buried in the couch or in a jacket where you wouldn't hear it at all. Because the volume is soo low I don't know if it goes off at night when my Blackberry automatically turn off to conserve power for 8 hours while I'm sleeping. I immediately emailed Phone-Halo support the day after I receive the unit about this problem. After 2 business days and no reply I sent a 2nd request and finally heard back from their support. Their reply confirmed this is a known problem and they're working on a fix. My question back to them was a) how soon and b) will it be a free upgrade or replacment unit. After a week I've yet to hear back. Deduct 1 star until its fixed for free.

2. The button on the Phone-Halo when pushed for 3 seconds (per their website) is suppose to make my cell phone ring to help locate it. Problem is it doesn't make my cell phone ring. I included this in my email to support and found that instead of one 3 second push it shoud be 3 quick pushes (which does make the phone ring). I pointed out the error in their website manual but its still lists the 3 second push.

3. The on-off switch on the unit can accidently be turned off (especially attached to the keys in my pocket) causing my phone to go off. A more secure design would be nice to prevent accidently turn off. In addition, once the unit & phone are in range again it takes almost a minute for them to pair up again. Deduct 1 star again.

4. Their is no indication on the Phone Halo to tell if the unit is paired or what its battery status is. I guess they figure that when you phone starts ringing you'll figure it out but by then it might be too late to charge the halo unit until you get home. There is a tiny indicator on the phone next to the Bluetooth logo indicating the phone and the halo are paired.

5. The distance indicator, when connected, shows either VERY CLOSE or FAR nothing in between. Since this is typically a 30'diameter I got a lot of places to search.

Hopefully I'll hear back in a couple more days from their support with info on the beeper volume fix. Otherwise I'm happy with the device. All it will take is one found lost/forgotten set of keys or phone and I'll be very happy!

I tried this little device on a a business trip. It malfunctioned when I used the gps feature on my phone. It also lost connection during a seminar and started beeping. (Quite embarrassing). I still have the device and may try it later. But for now my HTC Thunderbolt with Verizon service and the Halo aren't speaking.

Want Phone Halo Protect Tracker - Black Discount?

You should have a minimum technical knowledge to use this. I mean, You should be able to tell when a Bluetooth device is paired or not. Since, if the pairing drops for any reason, you will not be able to ring your device if lost. Otherwise, when paired, this item is a lifesaver. We used it on an android phone with its free market app. My mom who always misplaced her phone used this item for a week and found her phone successfully several times. However, I would have to check her phone and make sure it was paired at random intervals, and remind her to charge the Halo. We only had to charge it once in the week that we used it so the battery seems to last very long, but I can no longer be her tech support so she told me to sell it.

Griffin TuneFlex AUX w/Dock Connector for iPod

Griffin TuneFlex AUX w/Dock Connector for iPod
  • Custom-designed cradle hoilds iPod models with dock connectors secure.
  • Included cradle adapter holds the slightly larger 30 GB, 60 GB and 80 GB
  • Pass-through dock connector lets you add digital devices like Griffin's iTrip
  • Audio cable included to connect TuneFlex's built-in stereo line-out audio jack to car stereo's auxillary-in jack
  • Fits 5th-generation Video iPods, 2nd-generation iPod nanos via adapter

This product has been updated. Griffin has come out with the TuneFlex AUX 2 version. It is much better (see my review of it below)

TuneFlex AUX

-------------------

Plain and simple, don't bother with this product. It pales in comparison to the updated model. This model shifts around and isn't as clean looking as the new model. It also doesn't always charge my iPod Classic...which didn't charge properly for a lot of auto chargers (I tried about 5 different ones). Just skip this product and get the new version...it is worth the extra money. Read my review of the updated model below:

TuneFlex AUX 2 Review:

-------------------

This is a good product, probably the best auto charging dock available (I've tried quite a few). I own an iPod Classic 80GB (and iPhone 3G) and it charges and plays them just fine. The product arm itself is strong and doesn't move a bit. The holding dock itself (comes with a variety of docks for all your iPods) allows you to rotate it. This does move. It's stiff at first, but once you break it in it will start twisting a bit on a large iPod. Nano's probably won't budge at all. It's not horrible, it probably rotates about 10 degrees in either direction when I take turns. It usually goes back though, so it isn't the end of the world.

I will say the holders themselves, while there are many to choose from, really don't have much support for the product. There is no backing to them at all (except one which doesn't appear to fit my iPod classic, iPhone, or nano). No worries though, the iPod still manages to stay in place without a problem (and they ride in a Pontiac G8).

Overall, 4 out of 5 stars. If it was solid as a rock, I would give it 5...but it's pretty close. Again, if you own a Nano, this thing probably won't budge at all. The iPod Classic will rotate a little, but not much. If you don't want it to move at all, I suggest getting a Belkin TuneDok (goes in a cup holder) or a vent clip model.

Okay, since I have only owned this for a week and it is already "breaking", it should get a 1 Star rating. However, there are some positives to it and maybe you will get one that holds up.

I wanted an iPod charging unit and had no need for the FM transmitter so I went with this unit. I have an AUX (auxillary) jack on my car stereo and you can't get any better sound quality from an iPod than playing through it. Plus, It was much cheaper than purchasing a unit with an FM transmitter.

PROS:

1) The Design. Flexible neck. Good height, about 8 inches, and it allows the unit to be easily moved around to not interfere with radio or Air conditioning controls. When I first plugged it in I thought "This is great. A good sturdy unit" I was wrong though...see the CONS.

2) the AUX jack. You can plug the mini-stereo cord into the front of the cigarette lighter charger plug and then into your AUX (auxillary) jack of your stereo. That way you only have to drop the iPod in and take it out. No cords to plug in and out.

CONS:

1) The plug for the cigarette lighter has a big rubber gasket on it to "prevent slipping". The problem? It only worked for about a week before the rubber would no longer stay stiff enough to keep the unit from swinging to the right or left and having the iPod hang upside down!!

I was very disappointed this product only lasted a Week and have now printed a return label to send it back.

I was worried that this might eventually become a problem. I just had no idea it would only take a week for the rubber gasket/cigarette port to start sliding. Just as a note, it does stay IN the socket, put it doesn't stay stationary (it swings/slides) so it is not a stable unit for my iPod.

2) The hi/low switch and AUX jack. I found my sound quality was louder and clearer if I plug the stereo cable in between the headphone jack of the iPod and the AUX jack on the stereo. If I plugged it in to the charger unit, on Low power, it sounded very muffled. On high power, it sounded "okay" but not as good or loud as using the headphone jack.

So, I am not getting back online to find an alternative unit. I'll probably have to purchase a 'fixed' position unit that also has an FM transmitter because that seems to be the majority of what is out there. We'll see.

Bottom line, I cannot suggest this unit to anyone because it doesn't function as described.

I just bought one of these for my wifes car too (a Nano version). We'll see if it lasts.

Read Best Reviews of Griffin TuneFlex AUX w/Dock Connector for iPod Here

I got this product after reading other reviews and was hoping that Griffin either did a silent update and addressed the high-pass/low-pass issues, but they hadn't. It's horrible and I have to plug my audio connection directly to the iPod (btw, I'm using the new Classic 160gb). My car's interior (Acura TL) is black, so it looks perfect inside + my black iPod. I connect it to my black cassette adapter, so the wire isn't really noticeable. As much as I wanted to get the comparable product by Ten Technology, it's nearly impossible to find.

The goose neck is pretty sturdy. I've used it for about a month now and it hasn't gone loose on me yet. For a video iPod, this is an ideal stand, it's not clunky like some of the other car adapters, and keeps your iPod video visible so you can see all your cool visuals. If i could find the Ten Tech connector, I'd get that instead, even tho it's not a cool black like this one, the audio (I hear) works perfectly.

Be aware, the description of this product says that it comes with a cassette adapter, however that doesn't apply to this bundle.

Want Griffin TuneFlex AUX w/Dock Connector for iPod Discount?

This device is ideal for the ones that have a car stereo with an auxiliary in jack. Most cigarette lighters in cars are at an easy to reach place. So the tuneflex will also have your ipod at hands reach. The sound is as good as it gets. It's probably the only device that combines reloading of the ipod battery with an auxiliary output. The only thing that bothers me a bit is more a flaw in the ipod design as it is a tuneflex flaw. The display light is to bright to drive with at night. Perhaps a tinted screen could fix that problem. I'll give the people at Griffin a hint.

I think this is the best ipod base, but in my NEON 98 it swings a little, thats the why to the 4 stars.

Great sound quality.

Very Safe.

Motorola V195 Car Charger (T-Mobile)

Motorola V195 Car Charger
  • COMPATIBILITY: Motorola SLVR L2/L6/L7, Motorola V323/V325, Motorola V360, Motorola Q, Motorola V190/V195, Motorola RIZR Z3, Motorola V3 Razr series, KRZR K1..

I broke my old car charger by slamming it in the glove box door (not on purpose, by accident). At first I just tried to fix it by using electrical tape and so on, but nothing worked so finally I purchased this car charger and another one as well because you never know when you'll slam your glove box door on one of them and break it. I am totally happy with both of the chargers!

Motorola Vehicle Power Charger for Motorola RAZR V8, V9, V9M

Motorola Vehicle Power Charger for Motorola RAZR V8, V9, V9MThis thing works very well. I have had one of the same for over 1 1/2 years with no problems. It went to my daughter. This one had been in my car and has worked flawlessly so far. This model charges pretty quickly and has had no adverse affect on battery or phone life.

The item that I received was not the item specified in the listing. It was a shoddy, inferior, cheap, non-working substitute. I wrote a complaint to the seller and he immediately refunded my money without me even asking for a refund. He told me to keep the two chargers. I wrote back, trying to be fair with him, stating that the items have at least some value and offered to meet him halfway, and sent my check for half of the original amount of the items and shipping. He declined to cash my check. Although the item was listed in error by the seller, I honestly believe that he made a simple mistake in the listing and was not attempting to dupe or mislead anyone. The seller demonstrated the highest level of business integrity with his generous offer of a solution to the problem. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

By the way, the chargers do NOT work well. The USB plug at the end of the cord to charge the phone is not of high quality and improperly sized. The connection to the phone is extremely sensitive to insertion and movement and leads to a constant charge-no charge condition, with the latter being prevalent. So if anyone is purchasing this charger, insist on the true original Motorola product and do not accept any cloned imitation or substitute. The difference in quality and performance is vast.

AT&T Laptop Dock for Motorola ATRIX 4G - Retail Packaging

AT&T Laptop Dock for Motorola ATRIX 4G - Retail PackagingSo I waited for the price to drop below $200, before I purchased. I bought a refurbished unit for $175. (I heard you can by them for as low as $100 now.) I must say that I am really impressed with this Lapdock and it far exceeded my expectations. I am running Gingerbread with Firefox 4.0. (It is fast at loading pages.) I don't own any mobile devices like a tablet, laptop, ipad, etc. Just my Atrix.

It meets all of my needs and more. You don't need the 4G tethering plan to use Firefox. You can use wifi and when on the go, just use the browser app, within the mobile view. (I kept my unlimited data plan.) I have had mine for about a month now and still learning how to use it and new tricks. Since there is no users manual, as to all of the features, you will have to discover them by playing around with it, forums like this, trial and error. So here are the pros and cons I have discovered so far.

Pros:

1) Netbook experience, but has limitations.

2) You have complete access of your phone's functions and apps within the mobile view.

3) If you have a word processing app on your phone, you can create/view and edit: PDF, excel, word documents and powerpoint presentations. (Even though there are no spell check for android any of the word processing apps, you can still use the spell check/word suggestion, from the on screen keyboard, while using the qwerty keyboard.) You have to right click on the mouse to get the dialog box and choose multi touch keyboard and then just minimize the on screen keyboard.

4) You can access the internet thru the mobile or webtop view. (Don't need a tethering plan.)

5) You can access all of your videos, pictures and documents in both mobile and webtop view.

6) You can save movies to an SD card or flash drive and play them with in the mobile or webtop view. (There is some choppiness, but its not bad.) The bigger the viewing window, the chopper it is. This works for movies rented from the android market too.

7) You can hook up a USB or cable mouse.

8) The lapdock charges your phone really fast, when docked. (It doesn't matter if the lapdock is plugged into an outlet or not.) You can easily get 2 full charges on your phone if your phone is down to 30% battery, if the lapdock is fully charged.

9) The key board is really nice and spacious. Easy to type on once you get use to it. Has a lot of quick function keys like: Vol., screen brightness, etc.

10) The mouse pad is easy to use, really big, can be turned off and has two function buttons. (Its not multi touch, but you can double tap to scroll.)

11) Its very lightweight, thin and easy to carry around.

12) You can set up your webtop desktop background to whatever you want and can customize the dock bar with mobile apps and web apps/shortcuts.

13) In the Firefox window, you can customize it how you like and can choose your default home page. (I have mine set to Google.)

14) You forget your using your phone to power the lapdock.

15) All of your internet bookmarks show up in Firefox as well as the mobile browser. (I doesn't matter if you created them in either or.)

16) Playing your MP3's or streaming music, sounds pretty good thru the lapdock speakers. (You can use mobile and webtop view.)Listen privately using the head phone jack on the phone.

17) Multitasking is really easy in both the mobile and webtop view.

18) You can answer and make phone calls. Send text and e-mail, etc.

19) You can enlarge mobile and webtop view to take up the whole screen or resize windows as you see fit. (Just like on a windows PC.)

20) File management is really easy and you can view your pictures in list or thumbnail view.

21) You can still access all apps in airplane mode that doesn't require a data connection. (I used my lapdock while on a plane and the experience was really nice.) I had all my music and movies on SD cards to listen to and watch.

22) Most games play just as good as it does when using the phones screen. (Racing games or any that use the accelerometer, require you to tilt the lapdock.)

23) The battery life is 8 hrs on full charge. (Will be less, depending on how low the Atrix Is, video play back and what you are doing.) It definitely will last longer then any laptop, netbook or tablet.

24) Over 6 ft. Charging plug.

25) You have a tab view in both mobile and webtop view. (Much easier and faster to move around apps.)

26) User interface is really nice and surpasses some netbooks and laptops functions. (Scrolling view of all open windows with in webtop.)

27) Only have to carry around your phone and lapdock.

28) Screen is beautiful, bright and sharp.

29) Flash video and playback streams nice with no lag or choppiness.

Cons

1) Dock is useless without the Atrix 4G and only works with the Atrix 4G.

2) It will lag, if you have to many apps or website tabs open at one time.

3) Video play back is a little laggy, when viewing full screen.

(Doesn't matter if it was saved to SD card or streaming.)

4) No way to view powerpoint presentations on a view screen.

5) Can't add apps to webtop desktop.

6) No touch screen.

So, I hope I was able to help you in deciding if this lapdock is for you or not. You wanna know something else, I typed up this review on it and it was cool.

Its a completely transforming experience. It is way better than having a Netbook to lug around. Actually, in last two weeks it has replaced my Macbook Air and also my home PC (I am using Home dock). The idea is great although execution in some areas is poor and price is high. Having said this, I'd have gladly spent $400 for it than buying a Netbook.

I use it for my daily commuting and it saves me time and it is headache free. For example, before it I need to worry and make sure that I have three devices working and charged: Phone, MiFi and Macbook Air (I have also used Netbooks in the past). Now charging is headache free and also I just realized that I have not formally charged my phone for last 3-4 days and it is still working. Making sure that my phone has a juice has always been an issue in life, especially ever since I started using its hotspot feature. Now my smartphone gets charged automatically during my one hour commute to NY city and back.

Before Atrix I used MiFi for two years and then tried Samsung Epic for few months. I would have to make sure that I have a charger or extra battery at work because phone's battery was around 40% when I reached office because of using its mobile Hotspot feature.

Taking calls is now fun. Actually, in general running Android applications is great, especially all media ones.

There are also other things which has completely won me over and I have no desire now ever to return to a Netbook world (at least run of the mills Netbooks though maybe Macbook Air, which was a nearly perfect device!). I hope the future docks would be less expensive. That is the only real negative I have against this thing.

It is an integrated experience and one needs to use it for 2-3 weeks to understand what it really means. This is the future.

I bought it with full intentions of returning it if the concept did not work out. I bought it from Radio Shack (Phone + Dock for $479.00)

Buy AT&T Laptop Dock for Motorola ATRIX 4G - Retail Packaging Now

So I have had my Atrix for about 4 months before i got around to getting the laptop dock. Reviews have been up and down. Finally i saw it on a nice sale and fair price in my opinion of $250.

1st and foremost. The Atrix is the most amazing Superphone out there with the Nvidia Tegra processor to handle the Android OS the way it was meant to be. The Tegra processor is amazing, no lag time, plays Hd video in WMN and MP4 flawlessly and the battery life when used correctly out does any other smartphone with a high Mhz processor. I had the Backlip and the Droid X, and the Atrix gets 2x the life than i did before.

As far as the laptop dock. as stated i think that $250 is a fair price for it.

PerformanceUnfortantly the webtop application in its current form does not take full advantage of the Nvidia GPU, the interface is emulated, but it is snappy and quick. in Laptop dock it does have a full version of firefox and not google, mainly because the webtop ap is a lynix based merged with the android. I can browse with 3 tabs and not have lag issues on wi-fi. 3g it does lag simply because of the speed restrictions of wireless 3G.

As stated in the webtop Youtube videos do not play as smoothly as they do just in the phone, that is due to the problem that the webtop is not using the GPU like it could be. Im hoping that motorola fixes this. i can play 480p fine on a wi-fi and 720p is playable but does get choppy.

They did inclued the entertainment center and i can play a 1080p video in MP4 or WMV without a hickup. it doesnt show it in that, but i dont need to worry about down converting 1080p when i move it to the SD drive or a USB flash drive.

Accesories: Wonderful thing works with plug n play mice and keyboards and flashdrives, external harddrives. At first i used a addon wireless mouse off my desktop computer and pluged it in, and it worked right away. I later bought a bluetooth mouse and bluetooth headphones.

The only problem i have run into is getting my shared printer on my network to be recognized by my Atrix.

Battery life: AMAZING, i have used the atrix for 6 hours straight with the atrix on half charge, at the end of the 6 hours of me using it my atrix was fully charged and the laptop dock still had 2/5 power left. i have not drained it, got to 1 /5. It charges the phone quickly and the dock itself will charge competly up in an hour pluged in.

Here is the big kicker, At&t wants you to pay for their tethering plan to use the laptop dock on their network, it will work right out of the box on wi-fi no problem (which is where i use it most) but i do like to bring it to other places without wi-fi and still use it, so i do. there is a way.

This is not a replacement for a computer. I have a rather hardcore gaming rig for my main computer, but when im traveling, or at work or just chilling out on my back porch its nice to have a device to listen to pandora, browse the web, play movies, music, show photos, edit word docs or play some angry birds full screen. all you can do on the android you still can do, and anything you can do online you can do. and 10x more power efficient and powerful than any netbook.

Keyboard, Im over 6 ft and 220 lbs, with average hands, the keyboard is well sized and proportioned, the touch pad is large and can disable quickly for long typing without worrying about moving the mouse around.

All and all, this is a great accesory along with the car dock. only reason i am not giving it 5 stars is that the webtop ap doesnt take ful advantage of its powerful Nvidia GPU

The Motorola atrix is a AWESOME device and the laptop doc completely finishes off the package. Why get a tablet when for the same price or less you can get a full keyboard that, in my opinion, is more usable than a tablet. One note is that this lapdock is designed for light word processing and mostly web browsing a video watching/ web surfingmore of a netbook then a full laptop. But if thats what you are looking for the device is great. It also powers up instantly as soon as you drop your phone into it which is nice.

Want AT&T Laptop Dock for Motorola ATRIX 4G - Retail Packaging Discount?

While the commercial blurs the line of the Motorola Atrix with it "is it a phone?" "is it a computer?", that line is made perfectly clear what AT&T considers it. The Atrix is a phone and the laptop dock is a computer. I purchased the laptop dock on impulse at Best Buy for $399. I did not even realize the phone I owned was the phone on the commercial until I saw the dock in person. I thought it would be a better way to utilize my AT&T unlimited data plan by streaming Pandora or checking email at work or having a large display while on car trips. Right up front I want to make it clear that the laptop dock is a paper weight and battery without the phone. It does nothing, zilch, nada, NOTHING! It very much needs the phone to be the brains. My main and really only beef with the whole setup, is when I did plug in my phone and try to start Firefox, the system did a check and found that I did not have a tethering plan. AT&T considers this data usage a tether. Basically, connecting a display, keyboard and a trackpad to my phone is the same as tethering a regular laptop to it. AT&T wants charge you $20 to give you the option of using a keyboard, mouse, and display with your phone.

I did spend some time on wifi with this. You if you have wifi available where you use this, you will be happy for the most part. When the phone is not bogged down with open applications taking valuable resources, the laptop dock is a pretty good experience. If you are a person that does use this on the road and is willing to pay for the tethering option to be connected full time, I would say go for it. I am not sure about a sales person or corporate executive being able to use this setup to VPN to a company intranet, so you might not be able to replace your current laptop with the dock. Do some checking on this first.

I for one, think that the tethering argument is super weak, and returned the laptop dock to Best Buy. I want to finish by saying that not only the gal that sold it to me, but the clerk I returned it to, did not realize that a data plan with a tethering was necessary to use this outside of an area without wifi. I am not the only one who thought this was too good to be true!

6v 4ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery (6v4ah , 6 Volt 4 Amp Hour , 6 V 4 Ah, 6volt 4 Amp Hour)

6v 4ah Sealed Lead Acid BatteryI bought it to replace a battery on my kid's power wheels.

I cut the connector from the old one and install it on this one.

Worked right away.

No issues at all.

I recommend this battery!!

Much better than paying 30 plus for a "original"

Great pricing, quality product. Met my expectations and was a perfect fit. Made install easy and clean. Will most likely buy from this manufacturer again.

After 18 months our childs ride on train would no longer charge well. As the charger was supplying voltage, I took the chance that the problem was the battery and decided to replace it . The battery dimensions, voltage rating, and current rating matched perfectly with the original battery and was one third the price of the replacement battery from the toy manufacturer. I unsoldered the old battery connector and used it with the new battery. After reading about charging of these very cheap lead acid batteries with their very cheap chargers, I decided to carefully monitor the obtained battery voltage. I found that although the original instructions said to charge the battery for 14 hours, 30 minutes seemed to give this battery a complete charge. So far the battery has worked well in the ride on train and my two year old grandson is having a ball.

GSI Super Quality Desktop 3-In-1 Rapid Charger/Cradle/Data-Sync Docking Station For HTC Incredible

GSI Super Quality Desktop 3-In-1 Rapid Charger/Cradle/Data-Sync Docking Station For HTC Incredible HD Thunderbolt Cell Phone - Plus Slot For Extra Battery Charge - Powered By USB Or By Included AC Wall AdapterIt is not very sturdy. The extra charger on the back is the best feature. It is useful but you may want to spend a little extra on a better cradle.

The cradle fits my HTC Thunderbolt but the phone sits tilting forward just past straight up vertical, when it should be tilting back. My fix was a wood wedge under the base. If you can't do something like this maybe this one isn't for you.

I wanted a docking charger for my thunderbolt. When I bought my phone I did not buy any accessories for it. The store was way too expensive. So I started looking on Amazon. I came across this model. I purchased this and could not be happier. I just dock the phone on there and it charges my phone. The only thing now that I need is an extra battery. I did not know that I could charge an extra battery when I bought this. There is a slot to charge another battery behind where the phone docks on which I think is cool. I am going to buy another battery now. I will update on how charging the extra battery feature works once I purchase another battery.

This charger meets the requirements of charging the cell phone.

It looks pretty cheap to look at though, but then again, you get what you pay for. If you are concerned about it doing its job, get it.

If you want it to look good like a quality product that comes from the original manufacturer, get something else.

Amber Blue 18x LED Emergency Security Vehicle Deck Warning Light - 1 set

Amber Blue 18x LED Emergency Security Vehicle Deck Warning Light - 1 setDecent lights

Worth the $20

Control box is ghetto cut the cords n used my own.

Not comparable to 3rd Gen but half the price

I am a volunteer firefighter. I purchased a set of 18x Ultra Bright Red LED strobes for my charger. They are decent looking at night, but only if you are looking directly at them. They provide zero side coverage, there is no lateral spreading of light.

The unit has to be switched on and then the flash pattern has to ob selected to work, there is no, set it and forget it function, there is too much extra work involved to get the lights up and running when responding to a call on top of all the other things you have to do.

They are not water proof, and they are not weather proof. The extension cable sent with the light units is not long enough.

I'll stick with the tried and true Whelen products from now on.

Smart Universal Battery Charger with USB Output Fits Samsung Infuse 4G I997

Smart Universal Battery Charger with USB Output Fits Samsung Infuse 4G I997I purchased this charger to handle the extra batteries I purchased for my Infuse. It works as promised using the usb cable or household current. The charging indicator does ALWAYS start out red (charging), but sometimes stays blue (battery charged), when a discharged battery is placed in it for charging. Since there were no instructions included with it, I do not know if I am supposed to put the discharged battery into the charger and then connect it to power or if it is alright to place the battery into the charger after it is already connected to power. I have tried it both ways and it does not seem to make a difference when the indicator is "staying blue" with a discharged battery.

I bought this hoping to charge an extended life battery but the terminals wont work on that battery. I used it for a few months on the small battery before the terminals broke and pushed inside of the charger.
