$240.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the zune is the highest quality product out there, with the best features, functionality and overall quality.
from www.amazon.com
it has minimal effect on control functionality (mainly touch pad feel), but i'm thinking a hard case might be more useful.
from www.amazon.com
it has a beautiful layout, has podcast subscriptions, mp3, m4a and wma file compatibility, and functions well with the mp3 player.
from www.amazon.com
it does have some quirks but is actually quite functional and simple to use.
from www.amazon.com
i picked up the av pack with this and it works quite nice, charges through a/c and the cradle has a built in remote sensor so you can perform all the functions from elsewhere in the room.

from www.pricegrabber.com
there is no product with overall better functionality, reliability, ease of integration and use, as well as completeness.
from www.amazon.com
with today's point & shoot cameras packing more resolution, and more manual control, into their functions, use of photoshop becomes more than just a hobby.
from www.amazon.com
i am reading "raw cs2" and it's well written, but confirms that photoshop cs2 is not functional without understanding this complex program.

Sony ACID Pro 8

Check Site at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
* great chromakey (greenscreen) functionality
from www.amazon.com
unlike the adobe video products (premiere, after effects, etc.), the interface "look" is quite basic, but very functional.
from www.amazon.com
this is a very deep program and so you can be a beginner and be productive, but as you advance you can learn the advance functions.

from www.amazon.com
yes, there are other products but this one allowed me to create a fully functioning website without having had any prior html experience.
from www.amazon.com

Neat Receipts 00346 Scanner

$235.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the pdf conversion function is also very useful, and may turn out to be one of the primary ways in which i use it, rather than cranking up my flatbed every time i need to e-mail a document.
from www.amazon.com
the nitty gritty of how it functions is fantastic also.
from www.amazon.com
i like the fact that there is an option to scan several pages into a single pdf document and that the software offers ocr functionality.
from www.amazon.com
[it does not need it off to function, so the window is small for infection]
from www.amazon.com
scanned all receipts, and was able to make not only the correct (99% of the time) ocr function for amounts, dates, retailer, and sales tax, it also was able to be relatively correct in judging which

Apple Logic Studio

Check Site at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
but logic is no joke on it's complexity.
from www.amazon.com
with the apple pro training book (the basics one), i was able to use logic's basic functions comfortably within a week.
from www.amazon.com
they managed to do all this without losing any functionality and power "under the hood".
from www.amazon.com
although that is still an option if you're a person who thrives on complexity.
from www.amazon.com
this program runs circles around cubase for more reasons than i can count so i won't spend time there but the thing that surprised me was the out-of-the-box functionality that eclipsed anything i

Costar DYMO DiscPainter

$310.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
in a business prone to feature overload and needless complexity, this little unit simply does one thing and does it pretty well.
from www.amazon.com
a last note, which has nothing to do with function, but it's just cool to watch, is the way that it prints the disc.
from www.amazon.com
it produces all the speed and quality one would expect, without all the complexity and disappointment of previous labeling systems.
from www.amazon.com
i also liked the fact that everything functioned flawlessly on the discpainter.
from www.amazon.com
i can hardly believe what a big difference in functionality!!

very solid product, great price and all the functions i need.

chooser and sorter part of the program), smart sharpen (results as good as unsharp mask without the complexity) and high dyanmic range images (32 bit 9 stop images created from multiple exposures).
from www.amazon.com
with today's point & shoot cameras packing more resolution, and more manual control, into their functions, use of photoshop becomes more than just a hobby.
from www.amazon.com
the program is very daunting because of its complexity.
from www.amazon.com
the new features, including bridge, are not worth the hassles involved with basic functionality of cs2.
from www.amazon.com
adobe should include cs1 with the purchase of cs2, because there's just so much functionality missing.
