If you’re one of those people that just can’t stand to use the trackpad on your laptop, a wireless mouse is really the only way to go. The only foreseeable problem there is figuring out where to put it when you’re carrying your laptop. But it seems Logitech has offered up a solution with their V550 Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks.
Logitech have announced the diNovo Mac Edition, the first keyboard in the company’s diNovo series to be specifically designed for use with Apple’s computers. Just 11.05mm thick, the semi-transparent plexiglass and aluminium keyboard features the usual Apple keys together with shortcuts to Mail, Safari and iTunes. There’s also the “TouchDisc”, horizontal or vertical movement on which controls the cursor while circular motion scrolls up and down the page.
We already know that companies like MadCatz is going to be crafting special “Pro” instruments for Rock Band, but what about Guitar Hero: World Tour? Sure, the instruments are going to be compatible, but surely we’ll be seeing some branded “Pro” Guitar Hero drums and guitars, right? Yes, of course we will, and they’ll be stamped with the Logitech name as well.
The original PlayGear Pocket has been out for a while now. Long enough that those with the newer slimmer PSP have found ways to pad the original case so that it works with the new PSP.
Mac-owners, cease your ongoing protests against the cold-shoulder of Logitech. The peripheral company has announced its latest webcam, the Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro webcam for Mac, and while it may resemble just about any other recent model from Logitech’s range, in actual fact it’s the first they’ve made that’s Apple-compatible.
If Sony’s Rolly portable speaker system is a little too unusual (and rich) for your tastes, then Logitech’s far more traditional Pure-Fi Mobile Bluetooth speakers might be a reasonable alternative. Packing the A2DP Bluetooth profile for stereo audio, as well as a standard 3.5mm input jack, it will happily stream music from PMPs, cellphones or laptops. Two microphones, however, mean the Pure-Fi Mobile serves double-duty as a portable Bluetooth speakerphone.
Logitech has a new headset for your wireless pleasure. Suggested uses include online chats, gaming, or even just plain old music listening. It has a microphone attached, ear pads so it fits comfortably, and the USB adapter to connect it to your computer.
There is a new viral ad up for a mouse that is coming on March 4th. There is a quick like 4 second Flash ad, a countdown timer, and an email sign-up box and that’s it.
I feel I don’t say this often enough, I love Logitec gadgets. They never fail me and are usually reasonably priced. The LBT-HP210C2BK is a long name for Bluetooth earphones but they look relatively wearable without coming off like a complete nerd, which is always good.
So, every year for what is now the past 3 years the Bluetooth special interest group or SIG has picked the best of the new Bluetooth products at CES this year. There were 48 new devices entered and there were 6 categories.
The categories are Overall, Headset, Input, Music, Transfer, and Vertical. The overall category winner was the Samsung P2 Widescreen Music player. The rest of the list is below.
