:
The Magellan RoadMate 6000T North America (Refurbished) offers all the great GPS features and functions of the Roadmate 6000T for a lower, refurbished-unit price. The 6000T not only makes it easy to get where you are going in the easiest and fastest way possible, but also makes it easy to add detailed maps for topographical, marine or street navigation, so you are covered regardless of where you happen to be.

The RoadMate 6000T utilizes a bright, 3.5-inch, 16-color backlit display that makes it easy to read maps and information under any lighting conditions. lntelligently designed for comfortable right or left handed use, the 6000T's clearly marked keypad provides one-touch access to all its most important features. The built-in joystick controller makes scrolling the simple menus fun and easy, while four navigation screens provide you with easy-to-use 3D bird's-eye-view map, compass, locator, and satellite status information. These customizable navigation screens instantly show your location, speed, direction, distance to your destination and more, just the way you want it. As an added convenience, the 6000T is traffic enabled with an integrated traffic receiver that provides real-time traffic incident reports so you can avoid accidents, road work and more. lncidents appear on screen with detailed information, although user's should note this service requires a subscription once the three-month trial period ends.

This unit also allows you to make hands-free phone calls via its Bluetooth wireless technology and built-in microphone, requiring only that you have a Bluetooth enabled cell phone. What's more, the 6000T includes a built-in digital music player and digital photo viewer, so you can play your favorite music through the integrated speaker or a set of headphones, and view your vacation pictures without having to wait to get home first. Rich in functionality, this navigator features multi-destination routing with route optimization for up to 20 destinations at a time, and SayWhere text-to-speech so you can hear street names and more in your voice guidance. This unit also features SmartVolume so it gets louder when you reach 45mph, interactive P0l (Points of lnterest) icons with over six million P0ls preloaded, auto night view for hassle free lighting adjustments, route exclusion and an address book.

The RoadMate 6000T comes pre-loaded with a color basemap of North America, including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin lslands, that shows major roads, parks, waterways, city centers, airports and many other major points of interest. The built-in high-speed USB port makes it easy to add detailed MapSend maps, for additional topographic or marine navigation, and turn-by-turn street guidance, as well as downloading coordinates from your PC. This unit also lets you store up to track logs, routes and your own P0ls to its internal memory, as well as store an unlimited amount of data on your own SD cards, so it improves with use. What's more, the Magellan Geocache Manager enables you to download and organize coordinates from the lnternet directly to your the Explorist 6000T. This unit features a vertical profile that lets you view graphical elevation changes for where you have been or are going, and a simple PC-style file system that makes it easy to organize and access all your stored data.

Compact enough to take with you wherever you go, the RoadMate 6000T weighs 8.64 ounces and measures 3.8 x 4.8 x 1.4 inches (W x H x D), so you can simply slip it in your pocket and let it guide you on every outdoor adventure. And with Magellan WAAS-enabled TrueFix technology, you can be sure this unit will consistently provide superior accuracy and reliability to within three meters, giving you the freedom to explore without the concern of getting lost. The 6000T is powered by a 1,350 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, recharges via its 12-volt AC/DC power adapter, and comes with advanced power management to ensure the longest possible battery life. This unit is ready to use right out of the box without requiring any activation or service fees, and allows you to choose between English, Spanish, or French. Encased in rubber-armored, impact-resistant plastic, the RoadMate 6000T's rugged, lPX7 water-proof construction is backed by a manufacturer's full one-year warranty.

Buyer's feedback: 1 out of 5 stars - * Bad Tech Support ...
I have owned the Magellan 6000T for 8 months. 2 months of that time it has not worked because of a poor design in the car power adoptor. I opened a support case 8 weeks ago, called every week for status of the warranty part, and have gotten nowhere. A support supervisir will not return calls as well. Besides the terrible customer service, the device locks up evey couple of weeks and forgets all the saved locations.

I will never buy a product from Magellan again because of the worst "customer service" I have ever experienced in any industry. If you want a GPS, look at another brand all together.

We've covered in too much detail how it's some sort of "open season" on Vonage when it comes to VoIP patents. After dealing with ridiculous and expensive patent lawsuits from companies who failed to actually innovate in the same way Vonage did, the company was pressured by Wall Street to quickly settle the various patent lawsuits filed against the company. Of course, rather than settle matters, that simply opened the door for other companies to go searching through their patent portfolios to see if there was anything they could sue Vonage over. Indeed, following those settlements it didn't take long for AT&T to dig up a patent and sue -- which was quickly settled as well. Thought things were over? No such luck. Nortel just showed up last month to sue and it took all of about a week and a half for Vonage to settle that case as well.

The Nortel case is slightly different because Vonage actually already had a patent infringement lawsuit going against Nortel, but it wasn't really initiated by Vonage. Instead, it had been initiated by a patent holding firm that Vonage bought in 2006. The end result of the settlement doesn't involve money changing hands, but just a cross licensing agreement for the patents. So what's the big lesson that Vonage and others have learned from this? It's certainly got nothing to do with innovating. It's to hoard as many patents as possible so that you have your own nuclear stockpile for when someone else sues you. Want to know why the USPTO is overwhelmed? It's not because there aren't enough examiners (as some will claim) or that there aren't enough funds. It's because the way the system now works is that you are supposed to file patents on every tiny little advancement so you can use it to protect yourself against lawsuits from everyone else. That's not about innovation. It's about waste. In the meantime, since it's still open season at Vonage, who's going to be next? There are a ton of other patents in the VoIP space that can surely be used in a lawsuit, right?

Small and light enough for a shirt pocket, Samsung's Helix YX-M1 is a one-stop audio entertainment center with an XM radio, a digital music player, and room for 50 hours of tunes, but it comes up short on battery life.

This raw work-flow application isn't the Holy Grail many hoped it would be, but Apple Aperture 1.5 could make life easier for photographers who need to cull, retouch, and output large numbers of photographs quickly and efficiently.

Set in Saudi Arabia, The Kingdom is a political action thriller with good acting and wonderful visuals. Its so-so script, though, at times meanders aimlessly until a good explosion jolts the viewer's attention back to the screen. Jamie Foxx stars as FBI special agent Ronald Fleury, who leads an elite team into Saudi Arabia to find the terrorists who attacked American employees working in the Middle East. He has been given the unlikely deadline of five days to infiltrate the compound, with just his wit and his crew, which includes forensics expert Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner), explosives guru Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper), and intelligence analyst Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman). It's unclear how helpful smarmy U.S. diplomat Damon Schmidt (Jeremy Piven) will be, but Fleury knows enough to surmise that the media-hungry Schmidt might not be completely trustworthy. Foxx and Garner have wonderful screen presence, but it's Bateman and Piven who get the best lines. Director Peter Berg peppers The Kingdom with actors he has worked with in the past. Berg, who guest-starred on Alias opposite Garner, casts Tim McGraw in a small role here. (The country singer also had a co-starring role in Berg's 2004 film Friday Night Lights.) And Kyle Chandler and Minka Kelly--two of Berg's lead actors from the Friday Night Lights television series, , make appearances in The Kingdom. The action sequences he creates are impressive and generate a sense of panic that The Kingdom producer Michael Mann (Miami Vice) undoubtedly applauds. While a tauter script would've rounded out the action nicely, the action in many cases does speak for itself. --Jae-Ha Kim

A staggering portrait of arrogance and incompetence, the documentary No End in Sight avoids the question of why the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, choosing instead to focus on the war's aftermath--and meticulously examine the chain of decisions that led Iraq into a grotesque state of lawlessness and civil war. Drawing from interviews with top generals, administration officials, journalists, and soldiers who were in the thick of the war itself, No End in Sight lays out a gripping story, as suspenseful as any Hollywood movie, accompanied by terrifying footage of firefights and explosions more vivid than any special effects. Unfortunately, there is no happy ending. If the documentary has a weakness, it's the shortage of voices trying to defend the administration policies (perhaps unsurprisingly, policymakers like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz declined to be interviewed). But the testimony (presented by administration insiders and officials in Iraq, both military and civilian) argues that, despite contrary analysis and experienced advice against its actions, the top brass of the Bush administration made decisions (that aggravated already existing problems and created devastating new ones. No End in Sight builds its case one voice at a time and avoids the grandstanding that undercuts Michael Moore's work; instead, the gradual accumulation of simple facts--presented with weary resignation, earnest outrage, and restrained anger--results in a compelling condemnation of one of the worst blunders the U.S. has ever made. --Bret Fetzer

Fans of Oliver Stone's J.F.K. will recognize the opening moments of writer-director Eugene Jarecki's Why We Fight, in which outgoing President Dwight Eisenhower warns of the pernicious and growing influence of what he called the "military-industrial complex." But Stone's movie, which uses the same footage, was a work of fiction. While those who disagree with the decidedly leftist point of view in this documentary will probably consider it the product of paranoid liberal fantasy as well, there's enough credible material, much of it supplied by the targets of Jarecki's criticisms, to make Eisenhower look like a prophet and everyone else uneasy about the dark confluence of politics, money, and war that controls the country's fortunes. The message here is that while there may be some who sincerely believe that America's various military engagements (in Iraq, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and elsewhere) since World War II are the product of our God-given duty to spread freedom and halt the influence of evil ideologies around the world, the real reason we fight is that war is good business. This is hardly a bulletin; anyone who is surprised by allegations that politicians pander to defense contractors, or that Vice President Dick Cheney helped secure huge deals for Halliburton, the company he formerly headed, simply hasn't been paying attention (Politicians lie? How shocking!). In fact, the principal drawback to Jarecki's film is simply that there's nothing particularly revelatory or compelling about it. Only when he takes a personal approach does he go beyond the obvious; the story of a retired New York policeman and former Vietnam veteran whose son died in the World Trade Center, who wanted revenge, but who became seriously disillusioned when Bush admitted that the war in Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, adds some much needed human interest. Still, Why We Fight, which includes a director's audio commentary track and a few other bonus features, serves as a grim reminder that the world's most powerful nation has strayed far from the principles of our founding fathers, a development that does not bode well for America's future. --Sam Graham

In her snowy home state of Utah, Marie Osmond serves up a warm cup of holiday cheer with Marie Osmond's Merry Christmas, her very first Christmas special. Mixing traditional songs and carols with modern melodies, Marie presents a sentimental hourlong program (originally aired on television in 1989), blending music with short sketches. The show features Kirk Cameron, then-teen heartthrob on Growing Pains; Candace Cameron, his sister and star of Full House; country singer Lee Greenwood; Sally Struthers and daughter Samantha, ice dancers Judy Blumberg and Michael Siebert, and the Osmond Boys.

Marie opens the show with an outdoor rendition of "We Need a Little Christmas" and then moves into the studio where Kirk Cameron arrives on a snowmobile (fresh from rescuing a trio of blonde snow bunnies) to read "The First Christmas Story." Lee Greenwood performs "Christmas to Christmas" and later a duet with Marie. "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" is sung by Sally Struthers and daughter with help from the Osmond Boys--six stepping stones ages 4 to 12 who have the senior Osmonds' moves down pat. The adorable award, though, goes to Marie's 5-year-old son, Steven, who performs a rockin' version of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" (clapping on the off-beat nearly the whole song).

Marie has a good, strong voice, but many of the songs are overproduced and melodramatic. This, most likely, is a product of the big, pouffy '80s (her hair and outfits are also bigger-than-life) rather than a reflection of her talents. The closing number, "O Holy Night," sung by Marie alone, is quite lovely. --Dana Van Nest
