Do not get this if you're on Android.  Even with Nike's reversal and release of some Android support that is only for the 2nd generation, this is first generation.

I am very disappointed with this. It worked the first time i used it and then a few hours later it started giving me messages indicating the slow connection speed caused the connection to be terminated.  Pulled out my tablet and it worked fine but for some reason it doesn't support the new version of android on my phone.  My tablet runs an older version of Android so maybe that's why but still I cannot access it to update it or anything if i use my phone.  I would not buy this because it seems like they are not supporting it well.  It's too bad, it was just what i wanted for travelling.

Total disappointment. They're supposed to work with Android devices that have over a 4.3 operating system and they're supposed to specifically work with the LGG2 smartphone and multiple apps from the google store.
I was able to pair with multiple apps, but the pairing was intermittent, and dropped usually withing 2 minutes or less. The only app that it worked for more than five minutes with was a  "Polar HRM" app that didi nothing but display the pulse. The app didn't store a single piece of data, and as soon as you turned it off, everything that had been displayed was gone.
I spent weeks researching Bluetooth HRM sensors and this was supposed to be the best.
I guess I'll stick with my Fitbit with HRM which is as much of a PITA as these supposedly more sophisticated devices.
I've actually found that if I move it to just below my elbow and wrap it in place with an ACE self adhering bandage that the accuracy is spot on.

This was not what I was looking for. I wanted to put my android galaxy tablet on my tv and none of these helped. I searched amazon for that application and read the description and some reviews to confirm what I was getting. none of these did what I needed. They all basically plug into your android and let you plug a usb into it. I think one lets you use a hdmi mini though

Even though I did not buy it directly from Amazon. I know without a shadow of doubt that this is the same Watch. All I have to say about it is, if you have an Apple phone please save your money a nd don't buy this particular product. I believe in what made mostly for android phones. I have had this for one day and I'm already trying to return it. All it gives it a headache. I try to connect it with Bluetooth to my phone and the connection goes on and out. I download 5 apps that should still connect it and none of them go through. I buy an SD card and it won't be go through (this is my bad, it calls for a SIM card) but either way the instructions are not very specific and detailed (even the manual online). This is from a Japanese company. I noticed that by going to there main website after trying to download an android app. I will try my best to return this and hope i never come across it again.

Spend a little more money and get a tablet that offers mainstream applications that are FREE. Not only is blackberry app world lacking in polished applications, but most of what is offered costs 99 cents and up. No skype or any of the popular FREE apps available for android or Apple and NO NETFLIX!!!!!! You can't even watch in the browser because there is no silverlight support. Don't be fooled by the reviews that say "it now has android support". This means nothing because you are limited by blackberry's weak application offerings....there is no android market here.

I spent $199 for this and it doesn't get much use (my ipad gets used often). Battery life sucks with the playbook (3 hours max) and my tablet arrived with one green stuck pixel which looks lovely on a black background.

The browser does play flash well however flash enabled sites often become tiresome to navigate because of the limited screen space and tiny controls. An example of this would be zillow.com. Try pinch, zoom, and scroll without opening advertisements or other content. Unless you have dainty hands it's impossible. Another reason applications are important, so the user can easily control what they are trying to accomplish.

This review comes post install of the 2.0 update which has been waited for with bated breath by many and was suppose to "change everything" in terms of this tablet's usability (or lack thereof). With the 2.0 update you get a native mail app and buggy "android support". Pretty insulting for my $200 dollar investment.

The volume (sound volume) rocker on top of the device lags horribly. Push the up or down buttons to change the loudness, and the effect happens 5-6 seconds later, along with a volume slider bar that appears on screen. You either end up turning the volume way too high or way too soft because of this.

The OS software on the playbook takes about 3 or 4 minutes to boot up. Quite possibly the longest boot times in mainstream computing history. Reminds me of the old days with windoze 98 on an i386.

These are my observations about the device based on my usage, and in comparison to the iPad/iOS and Android powered tablets (of which I also own). Some people seem giddy with excitement about the playbook while others are in my camp of disappointment  (based on review readings here and elsewhere) so your mileage may very based on your level of standards, and whether or not you are a RIM fanboy or employee (the not-so-good reviews for this device are trolled by such people if you look closely)

I have no allegiance to any device or company but this thing was clearly rushed to market. Lovely colors, smooth swiping, and 1080p mean nothing if utility is lacking. Software wise it's a joke, an expensive joke on ME. You can decide if the bargain basement price is enough to make the same mistake.

If blackberry can fix the battery life and volume control with another update and give me Skype and Netflix for F R E E (don't nickel and dime me with your app world!!!!) then I'll change my review to 4 stars. The hardware has promise, The software as of today (even after the long awaited v2.0) does not.

HINT: F R E E GPS software, to take advantage of the unutilized GPS capabilities of the playbook would get 5 stars. Why not sweeten the deal for those who do not want to play games like asphalt 6 and moden combat 2, of which you are also giving away.

I was specifically looking for headphones with a microphone, and these looked great on paper.  However, the product description is a lie, stating that it works with all Android devices.  My phone would not recognize the microphone, it just would not work!  To make matters worse, I was not even able to talk on the phone when these headphones were plugged in..the person on the other like would not hear anything even while talking into the phone microphone.  I purchased $7 headphones with a microphone that works perfectly well.  This product is a rip off - stay away.
**UPDATE 6/16/15** The assembly on the left earbud broke in half.  It is even worse than I thought. I am sending this product back to the manufacturer for a full refund.

Great speak for the price but it's not really compatible with an android device. Pause/play function doesn't work and is completely useless. And the next/previous song only works sometimes, and isn't consistent. Can be irritating in the shower when a song you don't like or find annoying comes on and you can't do anything about it but turn it off.

This receiver is not  great.  I've been unable to get it to work with my android phone.  It will connect via Bluetooth, but that does not mirror the display from your phone to the receiver.  If I could return it, I would.  I've downloaded all the apps on my phone that it says to download and all the reviews of those apps, the people are complaining about the difficulty of using this radio.  It seems to be designed around iphones and androids were just a secondary thought.  Also, you have to buy a $30 wire to make it work with android.  I've not bought that yet as I've tried to use the less expensive versions of it.  So I guess I'll be dropping some more money on this thing.  Even then, I'm not sure ill be able to watch any kind of videos on it.  Like youtube or anything.

I ultimately got this to work - no thanks to a call to technical support, who suggested I send it back when they couldn't help me get it working.
Only after purchasing a different higher-quality device that came with a better-written application was I able to discover how to make this one work.
It comes with a VERY poorly written Android application.
At the bottom of the Settings screen is a menu item for Console.
If you select that, you can see what the application has recently tried to do.
In order to update the console display, you must exit and re-enter.
From the console, it can be seen that the application tries to find the device by attempting to connect to each paired bluetooth device and then confirming if it can communicate.
This can take several minutes - depending upon the number of paired bluetooth devices.
It was somewhat easier to get working on an iPhone.

Att: Android users.

Before you purchase this item, you should check the product website and assure that your Android software version as well your specific model of phone will work w/this product.
My son's phone, my phone, and my tablet could not load the software to run this product.
This was my "grand-finale" gift for my son among other lead-in stocking-stuffer gifts.
This turned out to be a Christmas-fail and I returned it ASAP, (I'm still waiting for my refund to process. I can hardly wait for that.)
This was a big disappointment for the above reasons.
However, on a lighter note my son and I had fun making this foolish product the butt of our holiday jokes. We replaced the word, "MIP" for the work "sh*t" in all our sentences and had a lot of fun in that respect.
i.e.: "I have to walk the dog....he has to take a "MIP," etc.
Your results may vary depending on your phone.

Note: This item, most likely, works perfectly if you have an iPhone product. it appears that it was geared toward them.

Great concept, but as others have pointed out, this product does not deliver on Android. After spending several hours with technical support, which is great and earns them the second star, this device is completely useless for now on Android. They claim they are frantically working on a fix, but until then this product is not ready for mass consumption. Save yourself some pain and wait until reports confirm they have fixed the problem. Wish I could get a refund.

The camera recording also fails to capture the first few seconds, so say goodbye if you're trying to capture the thiefs stealing your packages.

On the plus side, the thing does record every person movement, and it's good at filtering noise like cars driving by to avoid falseb alarms.

Seems to work well with desktop Linux. However, when connected to my Galaxy S6 running Android, the cursor is jumpy and laggy (Maybe a lack of Bluetooth LE support?). Do not buy if you're wanting to use this with Android.

Avoid this table if it has KitKat 4.4.2 Android OS!!!

I bought this 1 year ago from Dell. Everything was great for about 6 months, then, unaware of the issues with the kitkat 4.4.2 upgrade, I allowed that install.  Ever since, the internal "browser" (whatever that may be...) has terrible issues, making it unusable, at least with my main use for this tablet (an RSS reader app called "feedly").

Just google "Dell Venue 8 black box -pro". You'll see plenty of issues owners have had, and Dell has failed to provide any correction for this for no less than 6 full months.  This pretty much burned all the credibility that Dell had with me.  Of course, contact with them regarding this issue appears to be completely ignored.

Maybe if you freeze on an earlier version of Android (can't remember what it shipped with ... 4.3.x ???) and NEVER allow system updates/upgrades, you'll be OK. But this issue is maddening and remains unresolved.

I should have paid closer attention to the user reviews here, because everyone complaining about this awful system is absolutely right.

The main reason we got this system was so we could monitor it from our smartphones and tablets while we are away from our home. Well, it turns out that the mobile apps *do not work at all*. On my Android and my wife's iPhone, we get the same error message "unable to connect". I tried to read the documentation to troubleshoot the issue, and discovered that it's not only useless, it appears to have been directly translated into English from Korean, making the grammar and sentence structure nearly incomprehensible.

The web-based viewer does not work in Firefox, Safari, or Chrome. In fact, if your browser is more advanced than an ancient version of Internet Explorer, all you will see is a blank page. It turns out the only way to reliably monitor these video feeds is to use a Windows-only app that comes with the hardware. This app works fairly well, but hardly well enough to justify the cost and frustration associated with this garbage.

Do not waste your money or time with this. Get literally anything else, including hiring a Dickensian Orphan to stand outside your home and ring a bell when an intruder approaches.

Great device but you can NOT connect it to your MAC because the Android Software is not recognised and you can't see the device on your MAC home screen so MAC USERS STAY AWAY!!! There is no other warning for this
