It's no longer just enough to enjoy TV programming or access your PC with a crisp, clear, flat-panel LCD screen. Taiwanese television manufacturer Hannspree believes that the time has come to integrate this display technology not only into your home, but your lifestyle as well. To that end, they've come up with a wide variety of creative, playful design concepts--from a cello-like body to a Los Angeles Lakers-colored "jersey"--that buck the standard LCD TV/display motif of a screen surrounded by a gray or silver plastic housing. Style is well and good, but that shouldn't be the sole reason to purchase an LCD display. Happily, the Hannspree MLB Whitesox Sandlot 15" LCD TV's bright display and incorporated features make it worth considering the extra price.
(Reviewer's Note: We tested the 15-inch Vaas model, the aforementioned cello-shaped model with a faux wood-grained plastic cabinet and speakers integrated into the concave side, which we found to be quite easy on the eyes. That said, its video and audio functionality is essentially the same as this 15-inch Hannspree model.)
The Hannspree provides a composite A/V input for RCA plugs as well as a standard RF input for connecting cable or an antenna for access to TV programming. It also has a secondary A/V input that works with the unique 4-in-1 cable, which collects the three RCA A/V plugs plus an S-Video jack on one end and connects it to the Hannspree with a single jack on the other. (A note of caution: Take care to not force the 4-in-1 jack into the TV, as the pins tended to bend easily if they didn't make direct contact with their connection. This was easily fixed with some tweezers, but you should still use some finesse.) It comes with three female/female RCA adapters, enabling you to connect another RCA cable's male ends directly into the Hannspree's 4-in-1 cable.
The screen is quite bright--500 candela per square meter (cd/m2)--and it's coupled with a similar 500:1 contrast ratio, enabling color to pop quite nicely. It also offers a 16 millisecond (ms) screen response time, which makes this display able to keep up with quick-moving objects from TV programming and DVD movies without getting all jaggy. At 15 inches, the Hannspree offers a good picture size for standard, 4:3 aspect ratio TV programming and it's a fine size for use in a smaller room. However, for watching DVD movies in widescreen mode, it's best to have the screen closer to you, as we did with the Hannspree set up on our bedside table--perfect for late-night viewing of Firefly.
But where the Hannspree really shone was as a multi-functional home office audio/video center, enabling us to switch from PC (using the VGA port) to cable TV viewing without missing a beat. It also helped to eliminate some of the clutter from our desk, as the unit's built-in speakers allowed us to eliminate our PC's external speakers. Sound via the Hannspree's speakers was quite good, especially with the SRS WOW virtual surround sound selected. The Hannspree also includes a line-out audio connection, enabling you to connect to a 2.1- or 5.1-channel powered surround sound speaker system.
We were initially stymied on how to utilize the Hannspree's speaker system in conjunction with it's PC monitor capabilities. Connecting to the RCA audio-in jacks via a 1/8-inch mini stereo jack from your PC won't work as the AV1 source has to be selected; the same goes for using the 4-in-1 A/V cable, which uses the AV2 source. (The 1/8-inch jack size is what you'll find on a headphone jack, and this is also the size used for audio-out connections on desktops and laptops.) However, the answer was staring us right in the face--the Hannspree has a line-in audio connection, which is easily handled with an optional mini-to-mini cable. However, if you don't have one of these, you can use two mini-to-RCA cables, connecting them with the included RCA adapters.
The remote control that came with our Vaas review model was Hannspree's generic model, which offers mastery over only the Hannspree TV and no options for other A/V components. Other models come with different designs, some specific to the TV's design, but all offer the same basic controls, including a button to directly access V-chip parental controls. It also offers a button marked Auto, which will automatically adjust the screen parameters to the Hannspree's internal settings from non-standard settings activated from your PC.
Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with the Hannspree's video and audio capabilities. At 15 inches, it certainly won't replace your main television, but it's a good addition to an office or bedroom. Plus, its singular design added a personalized touch that is rarely apparent in typical LCD TV/displays. --Agen G.N. Schmitz

GREAT.......2006-02-02
This IS really a great case and it protects EVERYTHING and covers all the plugs.
But I just get a new video ipod and it is soooo sad that they don't have it yet for the Ipod video :(
but other wise if u have a mini I would stop your search now and buy this one :D
Awesome!.......2005-07-29
I shopped around almost everywhere looking for a good case. This one has got to be one of my favorites. It has literally all around protection. It protects your ipod sreen with a plastic protector, a protector for your click wheel, you can use your click wheel with the protector still on, the click wheel protector is not a sticker that you stick to the click wheel, it's a plastic wheel with the sticker on it, and a protector for your dock connector which is what I was really trying to look for because lint would always get into it while it was in my pocket and over time it can permanetly damage.
The dock connector is one of the most important part of the ipod. But the other protectors is also important and handy. This case also looks really cool and attractive. It includes two screen protectors one colored one and one clear one. While the blue looks great but you have to use the light on the ipod for you to see because it's a little dark without it which is good that they included a clear one.
The belt clip is also another cool feature it can completely come off and can turn vertical or horizontal. Although when you want to COMPLETELY remove it you have to take off this one part that is attach inside the case. You can just take off the belt clip but with the part that is attached inside the case will still be there and you won't be able to lay it flat but that's not a big deal, I took mine completely off because I don't really use it. Another thing is you have to insert your ipod through the screen opening by stretching it out a little bit, a bit of a hassle but no biggy.
This case is made of silicon meaning that lint sticks to it but at least it's not on your ipod. You can simply take a damp paper towel to clean it. The white stripes on it also glows in the dark which is pretty neat and attractive but it's not like your really going to always put it in a light for a couple minutes for it to glow but at least it is able to do that unlike others.
I would not recommend this case to people with a dock port because you would have to take the whole ipod out or stretch the click wheel opening and expose the dock port, this isn't a good case for you if you want to take off and on a case, you would have to take the screen protector off and on and the click wheel on and off and you might wear out the silicon by stretching it so much but there shouldn't be much reason for you taking it off and on so much. This case isn't bulky either so it can still fit almost anywhere.

Excellent Drive for Mac RAID solution.......2007-09-26
Two of these drives replaced two slightly cheaper Western Digital drives. I couldn't get both WD drives on line at the same time, which made mirroring them difficult. WD tech support was no help. Moved to these drives and they plugged in and worked. Bought another G-Drive product for my daughter to take to college.
Great device.......2007-08-29
I had this external hard drive for only a month or so, but I am completely satisfied with its performance, so far. I use it as back-up storage and for file-sharing across a small local network of mac's. Connecting it to a mac (I own a MacPro desktop and also a MacBook Pro laptop) took absolutely no effort other than unpacking and plugging it in. There are two great properties that this little box excels at when compared to other brands: 1) speed of data transmission and 2) low-noise output. It is a bit on the pricey side compared to other similar devices, but its performance makes up for the difference.
Great Drive.......2007-06-01
This little drive offers 500 GB as one partition, is lightweight (I can carry it around in my briefcase), looks excellent (great ID job), and works FAST. What more could you ask for?
