So I read the reviews here, took the plunge and would say the *only* reason you should be buying this over another vendor’s external HD is the E-SATA interface. E-SATA is mighty fast and blows away USB. As others have mentioned, you need to reformat this to NTFS to save big files and I wiped the virtual partition. The backup software is junk – go download a freeware copy of GFI Backup which is way better. It works fine, but for the average plug and play person who is not tech savy this is probably too much work.

I love this scale. It has a very modern look, and a large digital display. It is very accurate (I’ve compared it with my doctor’s scale and the scale at the gym), easy to use, and attractive.

With some sellers offering the 305 with heart rate monitor for $150, it is really hard to beat this device. Using just the GPS and hrm (no foot pod or cadence/speed sensor) this device works well for both running and cycling outdoors.

I’m not a hardcore athlete, but I do enjoy hiking, trail running, and cycling, and the accuracy of this device more than meets my needs for tracking my pace and performance. The elevation data is pretty off, but garmin-connect does a reasonable job of correcting it after the fact.

Learning to use the features of the 305 takes a little practice. Not something I mind, but some might. The bike mount/wrist strap kit works well for juggling it between arm and bike.

I’ve looked at some of the newer devices in this nitch, and I don’t see how any of them justify their very large price gap over the forerunner 305. In fact, you will pay significantly more for some of the newer devices that do less than the 305.

I looked at the FR 310XT, and it just doesn’t do it for me, and especially not at $380 with hrm. I’m not a triathlete, and I don’t care much about waterproof. I would much rather have something like a multisport/watch version of the Edge 500, which tracks temperature and altitude, and would be much more useful for my trail running, hiking, and cycling. If Garmin ever figures this out, I would likely upgrade.

I planed to use this scale to track the quantity of milk our baby takes every time. Obviously, this scale can not do the job. I did a experiment by feeding the baby with a bottle containing 4 Oz milk. However the scale showed no difference before and after the feed. So I won’t call it precision digital scale. I do not recommend if you have the similar purpose. I have pursued tons of products from Amazon, but this is the second time I write a feedback. There were products I do not like. But not like this one, I feel I am fooled.

Of course, it is still a good scale if you do not care about the precision aspect. It is very convenient to use after all.

In need of reading material for my long flight home from India, I picked this up at the Bangalore airport. You’d think that I would have been much too tired to read, but this was such an engrossing read that I managed to finish the whole book well before landing in SFO! An entertaining, funny, and relatively quick read, I can see this getting turned into a movie someday.

It lights well, but its a small keyboard with all of the buttons smushed together. It looks cheap too

I loved this book – I couldn’t put it down! I loved reading about the strength and determination of the maids – especially Aibileen and Minny. I also loved Miss Skeeter’s character – for risking everything (her friendships, relationships, and complacency of family life) by ultimately doing what’s right and writing the stories that needed to be told.

I can’t tell you if the language and slang is authentic, and I can’t tell you how accurate the descriptions of the “white ladies” planning their “benefits” are, but that doesn’t really matter. What matters is that it’s a beautifully written novel that truly tugs at your heart strings. Not every story has a happy ending – that’s real life, but I like to think that Aibileen and Minny (and all the others) go on to live a better life having gotten their voices heard and their stories told.
