From now till all items!!! June 3Oth!ff

John Waikinson 512 Dough Ave. Irvine, CA 92697 June 25, 2006 Adventurers Camping Equipment Division Headquarters New York, NY 10025 Dear Adventurers Camping Equipment, I went to the Irvine store located on Harrison Street last Friday after I saw the sales ad on the paper and was hoping to pick up some items for my summer camping trip. (I have attached the ad to verify the validity of the sales promotion on a nationwide level.) I wanted to spend some time shopping at your store, so I left my office early. But to my dismay, instead of a wonderful shopping experience, I found the promotion ad not entirely valid and a poor customer service store attendant. From the printed ad, I was led to believe that every item in the store was 20% off the regular price. Unfortunately, I discovered that items that were on discount applied only to those that were labeled with a "SALE" sticker in the store. In this case, not more than ten items were on sale. I thought this contradicted to the ad published. I therefore challenged the store attendant with a copy of the ad I had brought To my surprise, I was told that the discount on all items was not applicable to the store on Harrison Street. I was then referred to the store manager after insisting that the ad mentioned a nationwide sale. The manager did not bother to resolve the issue but insisted, with a very unwilling attitude, that the ad was a mistake! I left the store fuming without a single purchase. I have been a faithful customer of your store for a very long time, but the experience I had, along with my encounter with the staff at the store on Harrison Street, is just not acceptable.

IT'S IT Technology Review by Mike Vincent (mike@itsit~com)

Smartech T20l- Five-ia-ace PowerDevice

You probably carry one or more of these devices at all times - an organizer, a phone book, a digital camera, an MP3 player, a video recorder, a voice recorder, or a remote control. We have been expecting a power device that has all the functions you need with maximum performance. For many years, this was just a dream, but now this device of the future is available and affordable. There is simply no way to compare the Tl9i with the new T2Oi~You just cannot. The Tl9i was a letdown for its performance, but the T2Oi is far superior. Although the T2Oi contains a wide variety of functions (everything you expect in a mobile phone), it will live up to your expectations for its performance. For the last 18 months, Smartech went back to basics - processing power and huge memory. The T2Oi is not rocket science or a new invention; it is simply, plainly a power device. Featuring the latest processor with 24GHz and a huge memory of IOOGB, the T2Oi is the only device on the market to store more than 20,000 songs or 10 or more movies. Moreover, the T2Oi will shock the world with its size ~- its as big as your palm, and weighs no more than your business card holder. There is no single mobile phone on the market with a digital camera of more than 8 megapixels. The T2Oi is the only one such device. This means high resolution pictures on a large LCD screen from your mobile phone! Why carry another digital camera around with you? The MP3 function includes both voice and video recording and playback, just like the media player on your computer. All five functions you expect in the T2Oi are at maximum performance~ Unlike many current devices, which have either a good camera or a good MP3, the T2Oi has both! The T2Oi has withstood stringent industry tests for its reliability and performance as conducted by the National IT Standards! One last thing to consider before you pull your credit card out from your wallet though is that this little fantastic device will cost you a whopping $2,000.00.

To: mike@itsit.com From: moses@gmail.com Subject: Smartech T2Oi review

ToMr.Vincent, I have beena faithful readerof "ITs IT Technology Review"everyweek, and I want to voice my disagreement about the SmartechT2Oiprinted in your last issue~ I receivedthe T2Oias a gift two monthsago~ I must say it really is an expensive gift! 1would not have boughtit for my own usagehadit not beengivento me as a gift. I think it is overpriced! I must,however, agreethat the devicedoesquite an awful lot for its size,As a technicaluser,I still find somelimitations of the T2Oi.The picturesI took were fantastically clear and crisp with its 8 megapixels, However, it does not have the anti-shakefeaturewhichis presentin moststandarddigitalcameras, I am not able to takeany picturesas long as I am in motion,and I meaneven the slightestmovement, The cableconnectioninterfaceto the computeris reallyunstable, ! was trying to connectmy T2Oifor morethan an hourjust to downloadonepicture! The connection was intermittent with an unstable connection. Forthe price you must payto get the T2Oi I wouldnot recommend buyingit personally.

To: Debbie Hu From: lee Hao JIB 5ubject: Handheld 5canners Debbie, I received the parcel from 5can Technology in 1 piece. The scanner model they sent is correct, and the quantity is right.
