Adesso announced today the availability of their new slim, wireless keyboard, called the WKB-4000UB, which is pretty much the definition of having a name only your mother could love. And while it may not have the easiest name in the world to tell your friends, it does offer some pretty good functionality and, well, slimness. In the market for a new keyboard? Take a gander after the break, and see what Adesso has in store for you.
Have you ever looked at a digital clock and thought, “I hate numbers?” Well, if you have or you’re just looking or a little bit of a change of pace, then do we have something to show you. It’s called the QLOCKTWO, and it’s a modern-day great piece of tech. Instead of showing those bland numbers like so many other time pieces around the world, the QLOCKTWO utilizes a stainless steel face to hide away a wooden box that holds LEDs and all sorts of circuitry to get its message across. But there might be some fine details that could sway your decision one way or another, so take a peek.
If you’re a Windows desktop user who has been jealously eyeing up the multitouch trackpads available on various Windows and Apple notebooks, or perhaps prefer to use your laptop with an external keyboard but miss the multi-finger functionality, then Brando’s latest product may be for you. Their USB Multi-Touch Smart Pad does exactly what it says on the tin: recognize all the usual multi-finger gestures such as pinch-zoom and rotate.
If you decided that the Sony PlayStation 3 slim will still take up to much space when horizontal, and that the vertical stand is a must, then this is what your $24 will get you. If we’re honest, we didn’t expect Sony to particularly innovate when it came to this accessory, but it would still have been nice for them to put more than the minority of effort in that the end result required.
Over at Cologne, Germany, Gamescom is going strong, and companies like Razer are not letting the time slip by without some kind of announcement. In the case of Razer, they had a doozie lined up for this conference: a 17-key mouse, that looks like some kind of futuristic toy, which is called the Naga. It’s set to be used for Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games, but as you can probably already assume, it’s tailored for the largest of them all, World of Warcraft.
If you’re a fan of the Gorillapod tripod from Joby, then you’ll definitely be happy to hear the company has just announced the Gorillatorch, an LED flashlight with a Joby flexible tripod attached.
The new Gorillatorch allows you to brighten up any area without having to hold a flashlight. And with a bendable tripod, the light can be positioned in anyway you want. It also sports magnetic feet.
Powered by three AA batteries, there is a dimmer feature that ranges from 65 lumens to energy-saving levels. You can get the Gorillatorch starting in September for between $29.95 and $34.95.
Do you remember a time when the only headphones anyone could get, were the big ones that covered our ears? We know, we know, that seems like ancient history, but apparently there must be some kind of market for those things somewhere, because iHome has just released another pair of bright red, over-the-ears kind. Take a gander, if you want to feel like you’re part of history or something.
Sony announced today a joint-venture with mega-retailer Best Buy, showcasing a new line of streaming audio products, affectionately called “Altus.” There’s four products being released out of the gate, and Best Buy is getting the first crack at them. Of course, this makes sense considering Best Buy lended a helping hand in their development. There’s quite a bit to go on, so we’ll just get right down to it.
Someone needs to take Microsoft aside and tell them that sometimes the obvious penny savings still aren’t the ones to make. According to several GameStop employees, Microsoft have not only changed the packaging of the Xbox 360 Elite, but yanked the HDMI cables out of there too. In fact, they’ve made changes to the included accessories that – out of the box at least – limit new users to SD resolution graphics.
TomTom’s PND app for the iPhone 3G and 3GS may already be splitting opinion among early reviewers, but we’re yet to see how the company’s dedicated car-kit fares. Even if you pick one up and find you’re less than enamored with the TomTom app, the company has confirmed to Mac4Ever that not only does the mount have an integrated GPS receiver but that it is compatible with other PND apps. They’ve also revealed that the iPod touch will work in the car-kit just like the iPhone 3G and 3GS.
