Amazon.com Product Description

At half the price of what portable DVD players with screens twice as small were commanding just a few short years before its release, Mintek's slim-bodied 10.2-inch MDP-1010 offers acres of screen for the buck. The portable player is great for enjoying your movies and music on the road or in the home. Its 10.2-inch TFT (thin-film-transistor) LCD is configured in a widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio to closely approximate the dimensions of your favorite movies. A high-capacity rechargeable lithium battery keeps your discs spinning for hours between charges, and the player also comes with separate AC and DC power adapters for use indoors, in cars and boats--you name it. Using it on the go? You'll appreciate the player's anti-skip protection for uninterrupted viewing or listening.

It's compatible with a range of media, including DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3-encoded music discs. You can even watch slideshows of your favorite digital photos on your homemade JPEG image CDs. The MDP-1010 also offers dual headphone jacks for listening with a friend (perfect for back seat kids, too) and built-in stereo speakers for headphones-free listening. Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround-sound signals can be routed through the player's optical digital-audio output for direct connection to a compatible audio/video receiver, providing stunning surround sound when heard through a multichannel speaker system.

And--whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday"--the MDP-1010 stands ready to deliver the full visual potential of your DVDs, too, via progressive-scan video outputs (cable supplied). Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

A further choice of S-video and composite-video outputs (composite-video cable supplied) simplify hookup with most other televisions, making the MDP-1010 as suitable for home use as for portable viewing. A composite-video/stereo analog audio input lets you use the player's LCD for direct viewing of your camcorder, digital camera, or game console.

A supplied wireless remote control is just as useful in your home or out. Headphones are not included.

DVD player, remote control, remote battery, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, a stereo analog audio/composite-video cable, a component-video hookup cable, an AC power adapter, an AC power cord, a vehicle DC power adapter, and a user's manual.

Great, until it failed totally.......2006-08-27

After 5 months the thing stopped working, for no apparent reason (it wasn't abused; in fact it was only used a few times). Mintek was utterly unresponsive. I called their tech support twice (once to be greeted with "mailbox full") and left an email on their website and nobody ever contacted me. I never got a live person on the phone. If you want to take a chance, it's a great little player, but beware, the company does not stand behind its products.

Major Disk Incompatibility.......2006-01-09

Techies, purchased what appears to be the Costco package of the 10.2" Mintek their MDP-1070. It has poor compatibility with a wide range of DVD media. I own a Panasonic set-top DVD burner, have used the discount media such as GQ from Fry's and other bargains. Virtaully all failed to work on this player. Then took the same disks to Fry's and tried their players. The 7" Sony (the one I will be buying next) played them all without a hickup. The Panasonic did too, as well as the Samsung. Watch out for the Toshiba--there were issues here too. The Mintek which is feature rich, attracted me because of the SD memory card slot and USB port. However, what I discovered was that a good player such as the Sony and Samsungs seem to have a composite INPUT which allows you to hookup your digital camera or camcorder directly, so both the SD card slot and the USB slot are only nice-to-haves, not show stoppers. The "noise-cancelling" headphones (as do most of the cheapies) with the Mintek produce hiss from the cheap electronics. The hiss is so annoying that you may want to shut-off their amp (you can still use headphones without the amp/noise cancellation). And the cancellation ability is virtaully non-existant around the house with higher frequencies (may work with lower frequencies on a plane--but did nothing in my bathroom with the exhaust fan on). If you are a digital photography buff (stills/camcorder) watchout for the Pansonic portable dvd players, apparently they do not have video inputs. The super high end ones may have an SD memory card slot though. The Mintek manual is in Changlish, a combination of English with some poor Chinese/English translation. It is very limited in usefullness. Think I accidentally discovered in the manual that the battery life was 2.5 hours--this is hiden on the Mintek website, on all packaging and at Costco.

Compare to MDP-1060.......2005-10-11

The latest 10.2 inch Mintek model is the MDP-1060. This was offered by Costco in summer-2005 with an included carry-case and 2 noise-reduction headsets for $299. The two models are very similar, but consider reading separate reviews for 1060. It seems to have better feedback.

You would receive the same result from setting fire to $300.......2005-05-22

I ordered this device through amazon about 6 weeks ago. It seemed like a great deal compared to the price of other portable dvd players. When I first received it everything seemed to be in working order. The monitor display was crisp, and the audio was mediocre. However within 24 hours of me opening the box, the ac adapter failed to work at all. The only way I could get power to my device was buy using my cigarette lighter adapter. If I wanted to charge the players battery I had to use my car. I called Minteks customer support and they said they would call me back within a week to solve the problem. 6 weeks later and I have yet to receive their call back. If this wasnt bad enough, 6 weeks after opening the box the player completely failed on me. Any dvd I put in my player now cannot ever be read. I kept the player in fine condition, never bumping or dropping it, and one day it just stopped working. Since the warranty lasts only a month I cannot get a refund, so basically I feel I like I have had $300 practically stolen from me.

Big screen.......2005-04-07

I like this DVD player, because the screen is large, and the price is right. I bought mine for $299 at Costco, complete with case, 2 headphones, remote and all the cords you need to travel, including a car adaptor. I was a little apprehensive about the reliability, but my little boy had been pushing all the buttons repeatedly, and it is still intact. Besides, at this price, I could get two for the price of one branded portable DVD player, and the reliability of those expensive players could also be hit and miss. Extended warranty is available at a reasonable price however. The warranty is only for 90 days and makes one wonder, because even Mintek itself does not seem to have a lot of confidence in their product if they are only guaranteeing that it will work reliably for only 90 days.

The screen is clear and bright, although the player is a little too noisy. Sound gets drowned by the noise of the car, if you use the installed speakers. Get an FM modulator or use the headphones. The controls in the remote are not all available in the player itself. The player can get very hot and I have the feeling that if I use it for over three hours, that it will stop working until the temperature of the player returns to normal. I have not taken it in a long trip so I do not know how it will perform on the road. It is pretty thin, but the battery can add a hefty weight to it. You have to take off the battery once it is fully charged, per warning in the manual.

Overall a good buy for the amount of money you pay for it.

Customer Reviews:

my pocket viewer.......2005-09-07

You can't compare this PocketViewer to something like a Palm, and I'm glad to be an owner of this device.
This is a "keep-it-simple" device, no frills, but decent functions (especially the built-in spreadsheet program that can also open XLS files).
No color screen, and I don't mind. This is a barebones PDA that I use to keep track of my schedule. It has an easy to use to-do list, that I use as reminders to myself. I know my cellphone can do something similar, but I appreciate the easy to use on screen keyboard and large display (compared to my tiny cellphone screen).
For a little more money, I know I can get a Palm Zire or something more powerful, but this gets more battery life from 2 AAA's than anything else (months, years?). I use this device to keep long-term notes, and keeps my desk more free from having slips of paper or sticky notes.

Casio Pocket Viewer.......2001-12-15

These are one of the coolest PDA's I have had. I had gotten it for my birthday. At fist I wasn't sure if I liked it. But know I do. It comes with most of the good stuff. I personly like the mini games on it. I would recanmend it to anyone wanting to buy a PDA.

Product Description

Cables To Go's line of affordably priced surge protectors makes it easy for you to defend against destructive power line surges and data interference invading your home and office each day. The NetGuard Rackmount Surge Strip is designed to provide sound surge protection to your networking devices.The clamping voltage of a surge suppressor is defined as the amount of current (in volts) that a suppressor will allow to pass through the unit. For example, a 240-volt suppressor will allow up to 240 volts to run through it. Exceeding the clamping voltage causes the unit to "clamp", or to prevent any current at all from passing through.

don't waste your money.......2005-02-14

The head on this thing is pathetic. I can't believe they collect money for this thing.

OK PRODUCT FOR THE MONEY.......2005-01-01

NOT A BAD TRIPOD FOR THE MONEY BUT,LEGS FULLY EXTENDED ARE KIND OF FLIMSY AND NO LEVELING BUBBLE.

Sucky sucky sucky........2004-11-16

I bought this at Staples, and came here to see if anyone else had the problems I've had with it.
I can tighten all the screws except for the one that keeps the camera upright. What good is a tripod when I'll have to hold the arm to keep it upright at all times?
I wish I still had the packaging it came in, I'd return it toute suite. Don't even bother with it. Defective defective defective.

2 Thumbs Down.......2004-09-04

I bought this tripod and after 2 minutes of testing I am returning it right away. There it ought to be consumer agency that should forbid companies to market this products. Kind of an FDA for unfit products. The head wobbles, the side wobbles, everything wobbles. It doesn't matter how tight one screws the releases. I feel like I am taking a picture on a boat in open ocean.

Don't reccomend it at all to anyone for any reason. Do some research an for a similar price you will find something much much better.

Cheap in Price and Quality.......2004-06-10

I returned this tripod the day after I bought it. The pad where the camera rests began to wobble badly, and no easy fix was possible. I think a little more attention could've been paid to the design of the little pad where the camera rests.

Customer Reviews:

You get what you pay for..........2007-03-15

For starters, the unit has to be frequently reset (twice a week) by either the reset button or by pulling the power plug to reestablish connection. After 1 year of use, it started displaying a greenish tint on the remote display. On the upside, the unit does provide a clear and clean resolution with responsive keyboard and mouse. However, the product has been unreliable and seems to have a short life span. Better spend an additional $100 to get a unit that will last longer, offer consistent reliability, and maintain correct color.

Product Description

The Compaq Evo Thin Client T20 is a Windows-based terminal popularly referred to as a "thin client". A Windows-based terminal or thin client is a client device that connects over a network to a Windows NT Server running Windows 2000 or NT Terminal Server Edition or either of those operating systems with Citrix MetaFrame software running atop the server OS. This combination of client and server running a thin client solution is referred to as Thin Client Server Computing. But the thin client is just a part of that overall solution.A thin client Windows-based terminal only processes keyboard input and screen output, leaving all application processing and storage to the server. Compaq thin client solutions can allow companies to dramatically lower the costs associated with their client/server infrastructure. Unlike a traditional PC with high-speed processors and data storage, these terminals are optimized to act solely as "windows" to the server where users' applications and data reside. Instead of applications running on individual PCs, all applications are run from a single server, greatly simplifying the administration and support needed to run an IT department. While some knowledge workers truly need the processing power of a PC (such as engineers, designers, or financial analysts), many workers perform task-oriented, transactional functions (such as travel agents and call center operators), in environments that would be ideal for the Compaq Evo Thin Client T20.
