1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap junk, August 22, 2001

To be honest, I never even made it to trying out the software.

This thing is not even acceptable as a toy. It is very cheaply made. The silver thing on top is an almost useless speaker - the microphone is actually below that and is tiny and very poor at picking up sound.

It can only record 3 minutes of crummy mono sound, unless plugged into a computer and used as a cheap microphone.

There is no display to show what is recorded, and the volume control has 2 settings - low and high.

The whole thing looks and feels like it is ready to break apart.

This item has hardly any practical use whatsoever. The sound quality is very poor. Also, KB Gear rebates for any of their items are bogus. Their rebate clearing house is slow and unsympathetic. I've bought different KB Gear items with rebates offered and none have panned out. Amazon should stop carrying their merchandise.

1.0 out of 5 stars Take this piece of junk, and ---- JAM IT!!, January 17, 2002

Unbearably cheesy device. It came as a *bonus* when I bought the KB Gear Jam Cam. (I'm still waiting on the rebate, by the way...) This thing was SO CHEAP that it was physically IMPOSSIBLE to install batteries! I'm not kidding! Once the batteries were inserted (correctly - I'm an engineer), there was NO WAY to replace the battery cover! I even tried reshaping the plastic protrusions inside the compartment with a sharp implement. No dice. Broke the dang locking tab clean off. Unbelievable. It was very satisfying to drop the Jam-It into the nearest wastebasket. It made a reassuring *thud* when it hit bottom. There. I feel better.

P.S. The software is moderately entertaining, and works fine with a garden variety PC microphone, although it has no practical application or real value. Even so, ...
