The question is, how good are these devices? We've read all the reviews for these devices and they seem very impressive, but with new technology you never can tell. So if anyone out there has any experience with these, good or bad, please email me a note about your experience. If there is a great deal of response, I'll post a summary to the net. Thanks in advance.
