Very cool, added improvements from older version

My friend has an older version of this bag and I have found that the newer virson has great improvements, like the added straps to chinch the sides also will hold your water bottle in place.
Additionally, the addition of zipper compartment that allows you to split the bag for your laptop and tablet to be viewed by TSA without removal.

I bought this version as an update to a very old version that I had been using. Being familiar with the program helped, but the updates are good. I like the help menu. This version is a little more user friendly than the last and much faster. The graphics are easier on the eyes too.

This is my second ipaq and for the money, it was a good upgrade, considering that it has the web wireless connectivity integrated and improve a bit the performance and the bottons and looking.
I miss the dock station, and the syncronization speed it is slower than the old model, due to a extended process. The updated operating system has some differences interms of the menus, but some minor changes.  I guess I will miss the Nevo apllication it has my old model, that allow me to use the ipaq as a remote control, that it was very useful sometime. For me it is a really a good tool, that release me of my other three agendas.  The migration was esay too.  It was recognize right away and syncronize everything.  Be aware not to leave the wireless connectivity on if you are not using it, that will really save you on the battery time.

the ability to sequence exercises together was a big improvement in this version and really enhances the game, as well as the unlocking of all of the exercises. i would still like the up-front ability to increase the length of time or reps spent on each exercise though.

I was previously using Card Studio 2009, and liked it very much. But, for some strange reason, the Event Planner feature (which is very important to me) stopped working. Since Hallmark no longer supports the 2009 version, and tech support could not help me, I decided to order this version.
I like it very much. The format is clear and the operation, for the most part, is nicely intuitive. And I loved the fact that there was a seamless transfer of data from the old Event Planner to the new one. But there are a few little problems (besides the minor fact that the opening page is a bit too gaudy, featuring a huge bird that moves up and down as a cursor):
(1) When I opened the card making feature, I noted that it filled the whole screen and, when working on a card, I could not see the very bottom of the page, so it was hard to make the adjustments I wanted. So, I called tech support and the technician explained to me that, for some reason not even she could understand, Hallmark decided to change this version so that you must change some aspects of your screen resolution in order to see the entire page! If you use Windows 7, Right click on a clear spot on your screen, choose screen resolution, then click on "make text and other items larger or smaller." Then choose "smaller." I guess this is the original windows default, and it works fine. But for me, since Ihave a hard time reading the small print, I liked the "larger" setting. And Card Studio 2009 worked just fine on that setting!
(2) The  email function for sending cards is fine, but every time I sent a card to myself (just to test it) I found that Windows went by the first page too quickly -- a recipient would generally  miss it, then have to replay the card. But this feature did not even work on my 2009 version, so what we have here is clearly an improvement.
(3) Some of the really fun cards that were in the 2009 version are not here. I kept 2009 on my computer, so I can use the old cards if I want to. But it would be nice to have them here. I think, in general, the 2009 selections were more my style.

I owned a Logitech 520 remote for two years, and recently upgraded to the 550.  Overall, it is a good upgrade.  I still find the number buttons a bit mushy due to their silicone skin construction.  The blue screen's legibility is somewhat improved but it is still a bit dim.  The new on-line sortware is a huge improvement over the previous versions.  The control provides all of the functions I could want in my six device entertainment system.

Great update to my ancient Tom Tom  Many new features including traffic awareness, more detailed maps, faster startup, and many other new features

In QB 2007 for Mac I appreciate them adding more time saving features.  For instance, I really like the "Add Icons to the Tool Bar" presentation.  It is very easy to do and less confusing than previous editions.

The other thing I really like is the new Tutorial Center.  It was informative and fast.  It is also interactive which is an excellent way to retain the training it just gave you.

Great improvement from the 2006 version with the auto-recalculate and seems to be more accurate.  The display has more helpful features such as time, compass, and etc. I can't wait for the day when Streets & Tips directs you through maps that look like Virtual Earth by Microsoft.

The panorama, improved graduated filter, and HDR are great additions, the face recognition is a joke compared to even the original iteration of iPhoto that I used for years. The claim of increase speed is not noticeable.  Conclusion, better than version 5.  Definitely worth the upgrade but I sure hope that updates will improve both speed and face recognition, which is long overdue. I would give the upgrade a 4.5/5  Check out the Tony Northrup's review on YouTube.  He does his usual great and impartial job.

I agree iLife 6 is a great product and for all its new functionality well worth the asking price. New additons include the Podcasting Studio built into Garage Band, photocasting added to iPhoto and the all new application in the bundle iWeb.

The Upside:

1.  New web page design program iWeb

2.  New podcasting audio creation suite in Garage Band

3.  A whole bunch of cool loops and effects for GB

4.  New templates for iDVD and in iPhoto for layout out calendars and cards

5.  A media browser integrated within all the iLife apps

6.  Full-screen image viewing and editing in iPhoto

7.  Better audio control and editing in iMovie timeline

8.  Third-party DVD burners supported with iDVD

9.  Improvement to the Ken Burns effect

The Downside:

1.  You MUST be running Mac OS 10.4.3. it would not install even on 10.4 flat

  right out of the box on a Mac Mini -- not backward compatable at all;

2.  You must have 10 GB of free disk space which if you own a Powerbook,

  iBook or older G4 with a 20 GB or 40 GB hard drive, iLife will eat large portions

  of your internal hard drive space leaving no room for media and

  your finished work;

3.  Some features in iWeb are still funky, clunky and not well thought out (for

  instance, being able to size resolution of photos to maximize speed of loading

  images to the web);

4.  Photocasting will not work without a .Mac account and some features of the

  old HomePage worked better than the newer iWeb application;

5.  Apple is long overdue for improvements for the editing capabilities in iMovie

  such as the ability to group audio and video clips in seqeunce on the timeline

  and lock-down a sequence or scene to rearrange, shift in order or copy to

  another movie or new bland document

All-in-all this is a really good upgrade of the iLife suite and we truly hope Apple comes out with a fix to the problems with installing the new apps and iWeb clunks. It would be nice if Apple would provide ways to load personally created media to the iPod other than through iTunes. iTunes is a mess as a file managaement because it is infected with DRM and all the media resources used for iMovie and GB (effects and such) do not need to be all mixed in with songs, podcasts, TV shows, etc. And especially, personal media does not need to be effected by rights management issues.

Just bought this ipod 5 g 16 gig version a week ago. Im actually typing this message on this ipod. I must say that it is great experience, they totally improved the old version. Even without the rear camera, it functions very well.

Now with the cons of this device: I'm not sure if it's specific on what I had bought or probably on every device, I noticed that when you don't hold the device/just laying on a table or book, the touch sensor does NOT respond very well, there's alot of lag when scrolling, typing on anything even typing your passcode.. BUT when you hold the device with one hand then type/ scroll with same other hand, it responds very well!
Because of this issue, I gave it a 4 star rating.

I was hesitant to get this program. I am not a frequent fan of Scrabble and felt that their earlier incarnations were sub-par. The 80's was just black and white and the Deluxe Version didn't take advantage of the technology (both are DOS). The Windows version before this came close, but resetting your color settings was annoying. This new version blows all previous versions out of the water. Finally, a choice of board views: slant or up and you can still easily read the word score tiles on the topside view (my favorite) and if you have the right soundboard, you will hear an orchestra of stupendous music. Please treat yourself to a soundboard (like the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz) it is fabulous! Of course, if you prefer, you can turn off the music. You have three choices of board styles, a MUCH better selection of background art (no more dark and dreary somber backgrounds like the last version!!!) and a more realistic selection of replacement tiles; just like playing for real. You can also select auto-pick or have the computer auto-pick for you. Scrabble fans must have wrote in with suggestions on improving the game (I hope!) and it looks like they've listened. I hope they listen to that disappointed player who said they couldn't get tech support for it. I saw a patch for it at hasbrointeractive.com, but I think the patch solves mainly multiplayer issues, and not the ones the disappointed player has. I sincerely hope the problems for that person are resolved, as this is a great game, giving you more choices, more realistic play and is greatly entertaining.

I have owned several previous ReadyNAS devices including the predecessor to this device (the ReadyNAS Ultra 4).  I have to admit that with previous releases of the ReadyNAS devices, the changes have been ever so slight and incremental.

However, ReadyNAS OS 6 really changes all of that with the latest release of this platform.

The new Web-based interface to this ReadyNAS device is nothing short of spectacular!  The administrative user interface has been completely overhauled to make it easier to manage and view common actions required for maintenance of the ReadyNAS device.  Whereas the previous Admin interface was rather primitive and clunk, this new Web Admin interface is very fast, intuitive and responsive!  With features such as hover icons and tooltips and pop-up dialog menus, ReadyNAS OS 6 has really been modernized in line with today's more impressive web sites.

With the inclusion of 2 USB 3.0 ports and an eSata Port as well as pull-out mounting brackets for 3.5" drives (to provide screwless insertion of 3.5" drives), the hardware improvements in this ReadyNAS device definitely make it worth the upgrade!

However, as with previous ReadyNAS devices, the unfortunate part of purchasing or upgrading to this ReadyNAS device is that there is no "migration" strategy to automatically remove a drive from a previous ReadyNAS device and have it automatically detected in the new ReadyNAS device.  Instead, one has to MANUALLY copy all of the data over from the old ReadyNAS device to the new ReadyNAS device which is a very painful, lengthy and tedious process (even over a Gigabit network).

Hopefully future ReadyNAS versions will remedy this major pain point, but overall, this ReadyNAS device is an excellent buy!

I'm so glad I updated to Cyberlink PowerDirector 12 Ultimate.  There are some definite improvements over previous versions. I find I can work faster and with more options, I can work better. It was completely worth it for me.  I'm not a professional editor or anything close to it but for the youtube and family videos I make, it works very well for me.

I've had the original Voyager Pro for many years but it has started to wear out a bit and decided to buy a new one. I figured I'd stick with the same model and brand and see how it improved and boy was I impressed. This new model replaces the non-intuitive "beeps" with a computer voice telling you how much time you have on battery life, when its connected and disconnected, etc.

Some other new features I love are:

* Bluetooth audio streaming - Its no where near the quality of headphones but you can at least walk around and listen to some music in between meetings
* Voice commands - You can now press and hold the button for 2 seconds and do a voice command to your phone such as "call dad". Works beautifully on my Galaxy Nexus

Overall I'm glad I bought the new version and highly recommend it!

This is an amazing update to the old version of the E15.  The all around quality seems to have improved, the threads on the light head are cut cleaner, the head twisting tension is improved and the brightness and run-time from a single CR123 or 16340 is amazing.  It has good grip with the body knurling, the beam is a distinct wide spot but with okay fill making it useful at a wide variety of distances.  The two things I wish they added was first a true moonlight low mode, 8 lumens is still too bright to read in a dark room etc. however I can understand them wanting to minimize the number of modes since they have to be stepped through every time.  The other thing that would be nice, would be if it remembered the brightness setting you last used, but this would probably mean they'd have to increase the size of the light and it's tiny size is one of it's best features.  I purchased two of these lights and I will say that there appears to be a wide variety of color temps, one has a green tint to it and the other is very much a purple tint.  You don't really notice it unless you compare them to each other, but I was surprised to see that much variation.  Neither are as white as several of my other lights (UC35, EC4S, S10R, etc).  So it's kind of disappointing to see the poor color output but overall it's still an amazing light for the size, run-time.
