The touch screen is absolutely a bonus with this price! I loved it since now I can talk to people and explain my work by pointing! i5 is not the best, but totally enough for me even processing lots of data at the same time. The hard disk is very big and I literally just moved all my backups into the new computer.

So much better than you could imagine! It's taking over my social life... My life in general!

It is awesome! It worked right from the beginning, April 26 2014, I signed up with Google Voice first to test the system. I knew
that Google Voice is going to stop supporting 3-rd party applications beginning May 15 2014, but I wanted to see how the
OBi100 works first. I have 2 sets of cordless phones that used to be connected to my house phone system when I had
phone service and that have been idle since I stopped the landline phone service. I disconnected the incoming wire (from the
phone box outside) so that my house phone wires were no longer connected to the outside, and I plugged the OBi100 into
one phone outlet. I plugged the base of the wireless phone system (Panasonic KX-TG6512B DECT 6.0 PLUS) into another
phone outlet, connected the Ethernet cable between my Internet router and OBi100, and connected the power supply to the
OBi100. Then I followed the instructions in the setup brochure, logged into OBiTALK.com using my Google+ account and
dialed the **ddddd number that was posted (I already had dial tone and had checked the connection by dialing **9 222 222 222)
The connection trial timed out on the first trial, but on the second trial it connected successfully immediately. Then I chose
Google Voice as my service provider, as I stated above. I already had a Google Voice phone number which forwards calls to
all my devices (mobile and OBi100). I made a few test calls from a mobile phone into my Google Voice number, all my phones
(cell phone and the wireless Panasonic devices) rang, the CallerID (my mobile phone number) was showing on all devices,
and I left a voice message that promptly appeared in my email Google account on all my devices. I also used the OBi100
to set up a phone-to-phone mode in Nonoh (a VoIP service provider for international calls, app in Google Play store) and called
my cousin in Romania successfully. The voice quality was excellent, both for me and for my party. After 2 days of testing
OBi100 with Google Voice successfully I decided to sign up with Phone Power, one of the VoIP ISPs recommended by OBiTALK.
While not free, like Google Voice, Phone Power costs $34.99 / year and allows unlimited incoming calls and 300 minutes / month
of outgoing calls, calls to United States and Canada are free (as they are under Google Voice, but that service is gong away
on May 15 2014), other international calls are not free. Note that Google Voice itself is NOT going away on May 15 2014,
just its support for 3-rd party applications, so if you have Google Voice on your Chromebook or your tablet you can set up
a phone-to-phone conversation (free for United States and Canada) which will count as an incoming call for your VoIP
Service Provider (Phone
Power in my case), therefore your monthly allowance of outgoing calls (300 minutes for Phone Power) will not be affected.
All in all, OBi100 and Phone Power and Google Voice have performed admirably for me completely negating the need of
a landline.

This book is chock full of great advice for introverted and socially awkward people like me. I've always been terrible at small talk with people I don't know too well, but after reading this and trying to employ its advice and tips, I've felt a lot more comfortable and my friends who know me have said they've seen a noticeable improvement in my awkwardness. I recently started a new job where I've had to meet tons of new people almost daily, and consciously thinking about some of the techniques in this book when doing so has made elevator rides a lot more bearable.

I'd highly recommend. It's a quick, easy read in plain English.

Us guys in the UK are generally a little more reserved than you folk in America (all part of being English I suppose?). Meeting and starting conversations with strangers doesn't usually come so easily for most of us. So when I came across this book 'How to talk to anyone' on my daughters bookshelf I decided to `borrow' it.
I was quite impressed with some of the easy-to-use techniques the author suggested but hadn't really appreciated just how much they'd obviously sunk in as I read through it.
It was only when my daughter remarked to me a few weeks later "Dad, have you been reading 'How to talk to anyone'?"
"Why?" I asked.
"Well, I've been watching you recently, and you're going round talking to everyone like you've known them for years. Even the way you stand, listen and look at people is different!".
I confessed, and we both laughed. Like I said, I hadn't realised how easy and just how well Leil Lowndes' techniques worked.

i really wanted to wait a few months before reviewing this but i decided not to wait. I have Meniere's disease (a ringing in the ear, vertigo, and hearing loss) basically its like being on a plane all the time but I am unable to get my ear's to pop. Add in the ringing and swelling of the ear canal and its fun. We had a 5 speaker system and could never get it adjusted where certain sounds would hurt my ears, especially if it had reverb, I hated to watch movies anymore because the music would be so loud and the dialogue would be so soft. I was tired of having to constantly change the volume. I even had to stop listening to some of my favorite music. We started looking on line thinking maybe going to a sound bar might help.
  I then ran across the ZVOX read some reviews, we decided to try it. We love it the accuvoice it levels out all those loud noises so that you no longer have to turn up or down the sound just to hear the dialogue. And the output leveling for no more loud commercials is great. My husband loves it too. Thank you for making my life just that little bit easier.

I've only used it about 10 times so far, but so far it's been fantastic. People seem to be able to always hear me fine. There's a control button I haven't figured out how to use, but haven't had much need for it yet either.

I love being able to see and talk to whomever is at my door from anywhere. Store, getting gas, neighbors house the list is endless.

Jack, first of all I just want to thank God for a friend like you. Your book was really a God send.  It helped me to enjoy people and to start becoming the people person I was created to be.  It has caused me to draw closer with family and those around me.  I greatly recommend this book to anybody who would like to increase their ability to communicate with their fellow man.

I had asked my personnel at work to provide me with a handsfree option to working on the phone that would allow me to work online at the same time.

After some time no option was provided. A friend told me of the headset buddy adapter. I looked at the price and ordered one immediately. It solves many problems for me and I have been happy ever since.

So I actually got these boards because I am one of those people who constantly looses my voice .. I go to a lot of music festivals and almost guaranteed by the second day I have no voice so now I made one of these small sized boards into a necklace and when I can't talk I can still communicate with people....
Funny but people love it much better then being mute...

I bought this book because I thought it might help me better communicate with my husband and my children - and it did!  It clearly outlined different ways to speak with people (and really it works with everyone, not just people you are close with), and these new "methods" were not only effective, but easy.  I read it in less than a week and the results have been really wonderful.
