I bought my 305 a couple of years ago and while the battery is still fine, the watch is no longer functional. Of the two other folks I know of who have 305’s, both are also experiencing the same basic failure – the watch becomes intermittent and eventually stops working all together. The root of the problem appears to be a couple of things – the weedy metal contacts used between the two watch halves tend to get bent out of shape and lose contact and the watch isn’t particularly water proof. When mine failed, it got intermittent for a couple of runs (would either fail to turn on, or would randomly turn off during the run and could not be powered on again). Poking around online revealed that this is a common problem with the watch so I opened it up and attempted to apply the fix suggested (lightly bend the contacts back into place). Unfortunately, when I opened the watch up (it’s just glued together lightly, another bad design choice) it was clear that water/sweat had gotten into the watch and had corroded the interior and the contacts. Since the contacts are so fragile I broke a couple of them off trying to clean them and bend them back into shape. In all other aspects, it was a nice improvement over the 201 I had before (which I’m back to using now). The main reason I had upgraded to the 305 was for the more sensitive receiver since my 201 has a horrible time locking the satellites where I run. If it weren’t for the poor construction quality, I’d heartily recommend it.

I loved this book. It was a heartfelt roller coaster, chock full of all the things you hope for in a book.
Who would have known that this was the authors FIRST book?
I highly recommend it!

The case does the job it was intended to do. The only negative is that it is not capable of also storing the charger because of lack of space.

I LOVE this bathroom scale. I have tried quite a few and this one is the best of them. It has a lighted display, you don’t have to tap it first to “wake” it up (just step right on!), and it is very accurate. I even like the way it looks and feels. You will really love this scale.

great product. I have a skinny dog under all that fur, and the birds love it. I highly reocmmend the furminator.

First of all, the wii is definitely best for more casual gamers and younger kids who buy more less violent games. So, if you fit that description than the wii is definitely for you.
Pros
Motion control. It’s fun to actually move and shake the wii remote instead of just pressing buttons definitely a plus. Note that you won’t be able to replace wii with exercise, since most of the time you will be flicking your wrist to use the functions.
Wii shop
In the wii shop there are lots of games for past systems and new channels to add, there are games of all kinds and there pretty cheap, so there’s bound to be something for everyone.
Backwards compatible
This part ticked me off about the playstation 3, it was not backwards compatible to ps2 games. But the Wii is, so I can still play all my gamecube games on my wii.
Cons
Inferior graphics
The graphics on the ps3 and xbox 360 are much better than wii graphics, which is definitely a weak point.
Not enough hard-core games
There are plenty of games for the casual gamer but not many games will appeal to hard core gamers.
In conclusion I think the Wii is a very good system for casual gaming, so I give it my seal of approval.

I’m very impressed with this Tamrac camera case. It is a perfect fit for my Fuji FinePix 2600Z. It is well-made to resist rain with an overlapping cover. It is padded on all sides to protect against bumps. And it has a front section which holds 4 batteries and a spare memory card with room to spare. I’m also very impressed by the belt loop and the closure. Both have velcro in addition to clips or snaps. This gives an added sense of security. It comes with a sturdy shoulder strap as well.

This is a good product from Apple. All it is really is the iPhone minus the camera and the phone part. I bought it cheaper on Amazon than I would have at Best Buy or Target. It came in 2 days just like the estimated arrival said when it would have arrived. I would recommed buying this iPod. I dropped it a few times and it still works just like the day I first got it. The only thing is over time on the back of the iPod it gets VERY dirty. So if you want you can wipe it off from time to time, but other than that I love it.
