Works fine, have had no issues with it, and is quite inexpensive. 3 feet is kinda short so kinda wishing I had gone with a 4 or 6 foot but meh, it works just fine.

I've only had this for a few days, and all my devices are USB 2.0 so I am not getting the full speeds by any stretch. However, this is the fastest usb stick I've ever had even limited with USB 2.0. I get about 25 MB/s write speeds which is very fast. My previous USB drive was a Corsair flash voyager 16GB and it is nearly 3x as fast.

I've ordered a new laptop that will be coming within the next few days and it has usb 3.0 ports which I will be testing as well. Will update review with speeds when I get it it.

I also like the way the input is protected when retracted. The positive spring action is a nice touch. The material feels like cheap plastic but doesn't really matter. I'd rather have a cheap feeling super fast usb stick than a premium feeling slow one.

Update: My laptop arrived, and the speeds of this USB stick are incredible with USB 3.0 - In Windows 7 I have observed benchmarks of ~190 MB/s read, and 105-110 MB/s write. Similarly I observed this as the indicated speed in Windows Explorer. Curiously, with Windows 8 the write speed is the same, but the read speed jumps to 250 MB/s. Not really sure why - speeds appeared to be reporting correctly and benchmarks confirmed the same. No complaints here.

My only disappointment with this stick is that on a couple of instances when I attempted to reinstall Windows via USB it didn't work with this stick. One specific instance is I tried using it to install Windows 7 on a desktop from 2006 (which has USB 2.0 obviously). It said that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk", and despite googling this error to troubleshoot I couldn't install from it. But when I used the same Windows image on another USB stick it worked just fine. Even when I used the Sandisk USB drive on my new laptop at first it gave me the same error, but then it worked on the next book.

Between November 2011 and January 2012 I decided to change my lifestyle and joined a fitness gym. I went almost every day and during that time lost 30 lbs of extra weight and bulked up significantly. At the gym there were high end commercial grade ellipticals which were a significant part of my exercise routine. My daughter was born in late January and my gym membership expired so I very gradually put a little weight on and exercised infrequently.

I had been looking around for a good elliptical trainer that was in my price range. I (and most people) can't afford a $5000+ machine for my home so I looked around. I went to several local exercise machine shops and found that it was going to be difficult to get exactly what I want within my price range. Then I came across this one, tried it out, and it was excellent. It doesn't come with all the features a commercial grade elliptical does (for example you cannot adjust incline) but it has everything I need to get a good at home workout.

Amazon shipped it through CEVA who phoned ahead of time to coordinate when they could drop it off. They brought the box into my living room and it was very nicely packaged. The entire unit is quite heavy, 183 lbs according to the packaging. It was just my wife and I so I dismantled the packaging and carried it downstairs to the basement piece by piece. No single piece was too heavy for me by myself but it took me a little longer to build cause of this since it was just me. Not looking forward to taking it apart when we decide to move.

Anyways construction was relatively straightforward. The instructions were very good, and the packing of the bolts, nuts and washers was very well done; they make it so you cut each "step" of construction out from a package of very securely packaged nuts/bolts/washers so it's easy to find the pieces you need for each step. I found only two discrepancies with the instructions. The first was when I got to the step where I had to mount the "head" piece onto the "wheel" piece (not sure exactly what they are actually called). The instructions indicated you just pop it on the pre set bolts and then screw the nut on, but in reality you have to take the pre set bolts out first. The other issue I had was one of the final steps where I connected the (for lack of better terms) arm piece and pedal. The connection involves lining up a few different pieces together and putting a big long bolt through with washers in between some awkward places. On the right hand side it lined up perfectly but on the left hand side I really had to tweak it. It's difficult to describe but I managed to get it together by shifting the pedal slightly off the track so it could line up.

All in all, I am happy with this elliptical. I use it 3-4 times a week and it gives a really great workout. Honestly if you crank the resistance up to 10 it is very difficult to move, I usually go between 4-6 resistance. It has several places where you can adjust the level which is important for quiet operation and stability. It does operate quietly which is great considering the only time I usually get to workout is during my daughter's naps. I have been using it for a month now and have dropped 5lbs with ease. My wife loves it because unlike a gym pass, we can both use it and it provides a fairly intense workout.

Other than that, a few final miscellaneous thoughts. The fans on this thing are actually quite useful. We work out in the basement in our house which is already decently cool, but the fans feel great when you get going for an hour or more. There is a place you can put your water bottle in, a place where you can put an MP3 player, and a place to hang a towel. I'm 5'8" and my wife is 5'4" and we both agree that this elliptical wouldn't be great for someone much taller. The stride suits both of us fine. The programming is very simple; we really just use the resistance changer and that's about it. There are speakers on the unit which I haven't tested but they have a standard headphone jack.

Very pleased with this purchase so far, and looking forward to getting back in the same shape I was a year ago!

It's a data/power cable, it either works or it doesn't. In the case of this product, it does work, and works well. I have no complaints - I use it to charge my iPhone 3GS. I was a bit hesitant to spend so little on something used to charge my iPhone, but the reviews were positive, and I wanted to add my own. You can be 100% sure that this will change to 0 stars if it in any way affects my iPhone negatively. Given that the official charger is around $30 you really can't go wrong with this. Took awhile to ship but I've had it for a few weeks now (maybe a month) and no problems. I kind of like the fact that you have to press to unhook from the phone as well. Others may not be huge fans off this, but I am. Would buy again.

The camera works well. It is snappy and intuitive, and very feature-rich. For the price-point, I am very impressed with what you can do with it. Has many picture taking functions, including a very easy "intelligent auto" mode that does a decent enough job, and also a fully programmable mode which allows you to take impressive close-ups as well as a 12x zoom. It amazes me how far the lens comes out of the body!

I also like the 720p AVCHD video recording which has optional GPS tracking. The video quality is great, and there are stereo mics on this camera as well, and as such the audio quality is better than other similar cameras that don't have this feature. The facial recognition feature leaves something to be desired. It recognizes faces, but isn't able to differentiate very well between two different faces (it thought several different faces were the same person). The GPS feature will be nice for when I do some traveling but it supposedly uses more battery life and both pictures and videos are significantly larger because of the GPS tag.

It's a very light camera, very compact as well; the battery life is also very good, and the portability/convenience is much appreciated. Amazon (as usual) was fantastic with their orders - quick, easy and love the free shipping.
