Hi friends! I love to shop and I believe in doing research of products before buying them. I have compiled very good reviews on various products. Hope you enjoy them!!!

Unable to deliver seamless karoke enjoyment

We’re excited about the iKaraoke but would like it to offer a more consistent experience. Unfortunately, it is unable to deliver seamless karaoke enjoyment using an iPod just yet.

It is flawed in many ways but still can be useful

iKaraoke is flawed in many ways but if you like to sing along with recorded music you'll probably enjoy using it in spite of its issues. You may be asking yourself why I would give iKaraoke a 3-microphone rating if it's as flawed as I say. The answer is that in spite of all the issues iKaraoke was still fun to use. The reverb effect makes your voice sound kind of professional, and while the backing tracks often sound muddy, they still sound good enough to sing along with.

Good idea but needs work

It's a great idea by Griffin but it doesn't really work that well. Your voice doesn't come out that well, and depending on where you live limits you to finding an fm channel.

Quite good

Griffin manages to pack many features into the tiny iKaraoke, which will satisfy basic karaoke needs (as well as a bit of gadget lust) while allowing you to sing along to any music on your iPod.

Cute and does a fine job

The Griffin iKaraoke is cute and does a fine job as a mic, but it seriously fails in the karaoke department.

Good performance and reasonable price

In our testing, iKaraoke’s FM transmission wasn’t as clear as it could have been - a factor weighing on our rating, but one Griffin claims will be remedied in later product updates - and we think that more sophisticated voice filtering tricks and lyric-adding software would be needed to fully execute on the device’s promise. Our standard-level recommendation recognizes the unit’s good performance for a reasonable price, but leaves room for what we hope will be future improvement.

Stylish product

The Sony VAIO VGF-WA1 is a stylish tabletop radio that can stream digital music from your PC, but a few key feature upgrades would have made us like it even more.

Minor quirks but amazing product

The Sony VAIO VGF-WA1 Digital Music Streamer gets your music off your PC into your kitchen, backyard, or even the beach—wirelessly. Its limited remote and slow transfer speeds tarnish what would otherwise have been an amazing product.

Quite good

Aimed at relieving or preventing the onset of repetitive stress injuries, Microsoft's new mouse seems to have the right idea in its redesign of the standard mouse grip. If Microsoft's hardware design team had paid as much attention to some of its other elements, this mouse would be a winner.

4.5 stars, useful software

If Microsoft does anything really well, it's mice. It feels almost perfect. My only gripe and why I didn't give it five stars is that it very slightly angles my hand upward. Not enough to cause discomfort but there seems to be something a little bit wrong about the angle. Regardless, I love the feel and performance. It tracks smoothly over all surfaces and the software is actually useful. Virtually all software I've used that comes with a mouse is crapware in my experience. In this case, there are two particularly useful software features: the magnifier and instant viewer. I wish they would have made Vista as well as this mouse.
