Maxtor L01P200 7200 RPM 200 GB Hard Drive for just $166.99 after rebate
[Amazon] Maxtor L01P200 7200 RPM 200 GB Hard Drive for just $166.99 after rebate The $120 rebate expires on June 28, so you'd better hurry up! It's Ultra ATA 133 (which isn't very useful as opposed to Ultra ATA 100) and there's a 8MB buffer on it (which is a good thing, and used to be the total amount of RAM we had in computers a little more than a decade ago.)
Logitech io Personal Digital Pen for $134.99 after rebate
[Amazon] Logitech io Personal Digital Pen for $134.99 after rebate The $40 rebate expires on June 30. From the Amazon.com product description: "With the Logitech IO personal digital pen, your handwriting becomes an effective tool for the digital world--without changing the way you work. Write or draw on special digital paper and your words and images are both inked on the paper and stored in the pen's memory. To transfer these handwritten documents to your PC, place the pen in its cradle and download them. Then, easily share, store, organize, and retrieve them." This review at HardwareCentral says the pen is bulky but really works.
The Fine Print of IT Rebates
Background article on the whole logic behind rebates.
Memorex 48x CDR 80 Minute 50-Pack Spindle for just $9.44
[Amazon] Memorex 48x CDR 80 Minute 50-Pack Spindle for just $9.44 Memorex CDRs are in my experience reliable, though it's my understanding this - as with all brands - depends on your burner.
Nikon Coolpix 2000 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom for $139.88 after rebate
[Amazon] Nikon Coolpix 2000 2MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom for $139.88 after rebate The $50 rebate expires at the end of June. Don't forget to buy an extra memory card because you're not going to put a lot of 1600x1200 shots on the tiny 16MB CompactFlash card that comes with it. Reviews: Steve's DigiCams (says its good as an entry level cam,) DPReview , MegaPixel .
Viking 256MB CompactFlash Card For Just $34.14 after rebate
[Amazon] Viking 256MB CompactFlash Card For Just $34.14 after rebate That's a relief to see CompactFlash cards reaching decent pricing. This $20 rebate expires on May 31. There are interesting deals on 128MB , 512MB and 1GB cards too. I own one of these 256MB cards and it works great with my G3.
Sony DSCF717 5MP Digital Still Camera w/ 5x Optical Zoom for sale at $749.94
[Amazon] Sony DSCF717 5MP Digital Still Camera w/ 5x Optical Zoom for sale at $749.94 I've got a Canon G3 so I can't tell much about this camera, but here's DPReview's report . Seems like a good option in the high-end.

[Amazon] Norcent DP300 DVD Player at $39.99 after rebate Does DVD-Video (NTSC, PAL), CD, CD-R, CD-RW, MP3-CD. How low can it go? $10 rebate valid for purchases till June 30.
Samsung ML-1430 Laser Printer for $119.99 after rebate
[Amazon] Samsung ML-1430 Laser Printer for $119.99 after rebate A 600 x 600 dpi, 15ppm laser printer for not much more than an inkjet printer. I recommend to people who print long documents to own both an inkjet for color and a laser printer for quicker and cheaper black and white printouts. Laser toner is a lot cheaper to use on the long run. CNet gave this printer its Editor's Choice . This $50 MIR expires on May 31.
Maxtor L01P160 7200 RPM 160 GB Hard Drive for $199 after rebate
[Amazon] Maxtor L01P160 7200 RPM 160 GB Hard Drive for $199 after rebate That's less than the $100 rebate they gave in March, but it's still not bad. If you buy a large hard drive to store big files such as videos, you might want to choose bigger clusters to enhance performance (on the other hand don't do that if you plan to put many small files on it because you'd waste a lot of space.)
Microsoft Office Keyboard now at just $14.99
[Amazon] Microsoft Office Keyboard at just $14.99 A very good keyboard for the money (that's the one I own.) It's bulky, so tiny desks need not apply. The shortcut buttons on the left are quite handy to cut/copy/past and switch apps, but there's one minor drawback, you need to hit a special key to turn function keys back to their traditional use (instead of the Office shortcuts added by Microsoft) and unlike Num Lock, there's no way you can do that automatically when you boot your machine. If they fixed that, and added a USB hub, they'd have the perfect keyboard. Here's ActiveWin's review .
Siemens 4015 Gigaset 2.4 GHz Expandable Cordless Telephone for $69.99 after rebate
[Amazon] Siemens 4015 Gigaset 2.4 GHz Expandable Cordless Telephone for $69.99 after rebate The rebate has been extended till the end of May. This phone also exists in black and in white.There's an integrated digital answering system, caller ID/call waiting display on handset, and you can expand it up to 3 or 4 handsets (for $59.94 apiece ,) I'm not really sure. Customers have mixed feelings on this one, some like it a lot, others returned it, so check out their reviews. Seems you need to be careful and RTFM.
Canon Powershot G2 4MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom Now at $509.94
[Amazon] Canon Powershot G2 4MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom Now at $509.94 I wrote three months ago that the new G3 would drive prices down. Its predecessor was already a great camera , was priced at $620 in January, and you can now get it at $510.
