1. Using Logitech’s Harmony One universal remote control, I can’t help but hear Queen’s “I’m In Love With My Car” playing in my head. That may be overstating the appeal of this device a bit, but not by much. I haven’t been this impressed with a technological gadget since the Flip video camera. The concept of a universal remote control that replaces the various “factory” remotes that come with most home entertainment devices isn’t new, but Logitech takes it to a whole new level with this device.
The Harmony One remote includes the remote control unit, a rechargeable battery, charging station with power adapter, USB cable, and a CD that is used to program the device. Setup is extremely user-friendly. Once you have the software installed, you’re asked to provide the make and models of the devices you want to control, as well as a few questions on how those devices are used. The software then programs the remote accordingly. The total setup time is roughly 30 minutes, and doesn’t require any significant computer skills.

2. I’m a 62 yr old great-grandmother, with a reasonable, but by no means expert, knowledge of computers and electronic equipment. I purchased the Harmony One Universal Remote yesterday from Best Buy. I buy tons of stuff from Amazon, but was in a bit of a hurry to get this up and going.
I have a not too complicated Home Theater setup: a 50″ LG Plasma TV, Sony DVD/VHS combo, Sony AV Receiver, and Sony 5-disc CD changer, and an HD Motorola ATT U-Verse receiver . Up until today, I (and worse, my grandchildren) had to use a minimum of 3 remotes to simply watch a DVD (TV, DVD player, and AV sound), etc.
I had absolutely no problems getting this remote setup and working with ALL of my equipment. The software instructions were excellent. Until this remote, I did not have a remote, except the original “commander”, that would work well with the DVD/VHS combo player.

1. I was very disapointed by te sound of the built in speakers of my new Gateway computer so I started doing some research. I wanted a USB powered solution but was not sure about USB for the driving the speakers. I saw the V20s at a local store for over $80 but decided to pick them up. I cant belive how easy they were to install. Just plugged them into my laptop and Bam! Clear, crisp (And Loud) sound. You wont drive a concert hall but I have AC powered speakers that dont sound this good. The only problem is that they deliver a bit too much base and can bounce around the table if not adjusted correctly.

2. I use these speakers for my Dell Latitude D600 and they are wonderful. The sound is very good for such small speakers, and it really improves the experience of watching a DVD or listening to itunes. You can change the volume with the buttons on the speaker, or with the sound volume button built into the D600. The power drain isn’t too high. I was able to listen to music at a pretty high volume for a little over two hours before my laptop battery was about 70% discharged. There is no software to install – just plug them in to a USB port and you are up and running (no separate power supply or batteries needed – they only need USB power). There are little braces in the back to tip them to the desired angle. There is also a nice little carrying case.

1. Honestly, things are getting entirely too easy to set up. This one even comes with the bluetooth dongle already prepaired to the Mini. Just plug the dongle into a USB slot and it’s off– no more sitting there holding two tiny buttons down and wondering when the blue light is going to stop flickering. And let me tell you what I really, really like about the diNovo Mini– there is a storage place inside the bottom where you can store the dongle when you are not using it! How clever is that! How many small bits of tech do you have hanging around that should be able to attach to some part of the parent item?

2. When I first pulled this product out of the box I wasn’t so sure of it. The buttons looked small and close together. I thought that I was going to have problems typing with it. Luckily, that was not the case.
After a simple installation of the software, which also synch’d up with my G5 mouse, I was off and running. I am not a Media Center user. Most of my multimedia needs are met with Nero or various Adobe products. I must say though, with the ease of control of this device I may start using Media Center more. The diNovo Mini is very intuitive to any user who knows their way around a keyboard. Most of you typical buttons are where you would expect them.
I like the fact I can start Media Center with just a push of pre-programmed button. However, this button is also a gripe for me. When you are done with Media Center and you press the button again, I would have expected Media Center to close and XP to start up again. Instead the controller sent a shut down command to my PC. In order to close Media Center I had to use my mouse (minor annoyance).

1. If you are in the market for a good utilitarian cordless keyboard to use, this might not be the best choice. But if you like unique, stylish computer gear, that still works well, then this makes a nice addition to your desktop. Even if you don’t get a chance to show it off to your friends, you’ll enjoy looking at it sitting in its charging stand, or on your desk. It must hold a pretty good charge, because I’ve only charged it once in the month that I’ve had it. So if you’re thinking the charger is too cumbersome to take with you on a trip, you don’t have to worry about it; you won’t need it. And at about 1/2″ thick, it won’t take up much space in your bag. You could hook it up using the built-in bluetooth in your computer, but unless you’re starved for USB ports, the receiver is about the size of a small flash drive (unlike the previous DiNovo Desktop). It connects instantly too, so you won’t spend ages trying to figure out why it’s not connected.

2. This is definitely a professional’s keyboard. It’s got a soft enough touch not to cause strain when you’re typing for hours, but enough resistance, travel, and sudden reduction of resistance (I forget the proper term for how the key’s resistance goes away once you’ve registered a keystroke) to allow you to type accurately. Being only 11mm tall, you don’t need one of those cumbersome wrist rests — your hands are barely above the table that you’re typing on, so your posture is just naturally good. The keys are also a very good size — I’m a touch typist (not trained; everyone becomes a touch typist if they type enough) and the keys are spaced very well to allow you to touch type without mistakes.
That the keyboard is pretty doesn’t need further comment; it’s also very solid. The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was that the keyboard was really solid. It may not be a cheap keyboard, but it’s not made cheaply, either.
