Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Nice device, questionable customer service.......2003-08-18

The RipGo unit performs as it's advertised. It burns 3" CD-Rs (not CD-RWs) of 185M and 210M capacity via USB port. Although only rated at 4x, lower capacity of the discs make burns at 4x tolerable. The unit does not have buffer underrun protection, however I have not had created any coasters burning 10 discs using Nero software. Playback of MP3 and WMA files is reliable and with no skips during walks. This player can play much louder than most portable units sold today and preset EQs functions very well. The unit also has balance control and random play option. The behind the head headphone is typical inexpensive units packaged with portables and you would want to replace it with a better unit.

After about 4 months of light use, the lid hinge broke on the unit (break in the plastic tab due to defect). Although it was explained to them that the unit was never dropped and was always kept in a case, Imation customer support was very quick to blame me for dropping the unit. They finally agreed to repair the unit under warranty but upon repair, again they insisted that the unit was dropped. It is not a very pleasant experience when the customer service does not believe the word of the customer. Although the merchandise works as advertised, the treatment of their customer service makes me think twice about purchasing any other Imation product.

4 out of 5 stars Not Perfect, But...........2003-05-19

This is really an okay device. It doesn't always do what you tell it to do, though. I have had problems with the burner function, and it's fidgity about MP3's...it won't take some of them. Also, if you're on the road for a while, or on a long flight, the less than 5 hour battery life is really a pain in the neck. However, for casual use, jogging, or mowing the lawn, it's okay. I'd recommend, however, if you have a burner drive in your computer, use that instead of the RipGo's burner (silly, i know)

4 out of 5 stars Solid MP3 player.......2003-04-30

Above average player for the money ($$).

Pros
- Convenient pocket size.
- Screen information w/ backlit display.
- Battery life.
- Good sound.
Cons
- Slow startup.
- Doesn't play CDRWs.

2 out of 5 stars Please don't spend your money with the RipGO!.......2003-04-04

Well, I bought one of this, at the beginning I was very excited, that was a really cool device, until I started to use it, then start the deceptions, first it don't support in anyway the Mini CD-RW, second belived or not it don't support the Mini CD-R of 210MB and this two problems Imation can not solve with an update of firmware, so if you buy this product you have to stay with 185MB discs, because the larger ones don't work on the RipGO they are really a headache. Sorry to dissapoint to the fans of the RipGO.

En resumen no gasten el dinero en el RipGO, no soporta los discos especificados antes solo el de 185MB CD-R, y ya hable con Imation y no pueden solucionarlo con ninguna actualización de firmware, así que, así queda hasta que dure.

      W22 On-Wall / In-Wall Compact Speaker - Eggshell White

      Product Description

      Looking for hi-fidelity sound that doesn't take up any floor or shelf space? The new W22 provides the kind of transparent, neutral, wide-range sound you expect from Axiom, without any of the compromises that plague other in-wall speakers. Other in-walls rely on the wall cavity to tune the bass output, resulting in a speaker whose performance varies from wall to wall and room to room. Additionally, the drivers' rear output produces distorted sound in the neighboring rooms. Overcoming these drawbacks, the W22 features a fully integrated enclosure that recesses into the wall, combined with an attractive exterior baffle portion that keeps the speaker's woofer and tweeter away from the sound-degrading effects of the wall's front surface. The speaker ports are cleverly hidden at the base of the outer baffle. The W22 on-wall/in-wall hybrid speaker preserves the sonic clarity of its bookshelf equivalent, the M22, and adds a slim profile that is a perfect complement to today's modern low-profile plasma and LCD TV screens. The dual 5 1/4-inch aluminum cone woofers enable louder playback levels and greater power handling in larger rooms. A supplied self-clamping frame anchors the speaker firmly to the wall when the screws are tightened. The series is available in a variety of attractively-finished front baffles to suit any decor.
