The Leather Mouse And USB Hub for Billionaires?

Posted Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007 by Alex Ion

Leather mouse and hubThe title says it all, and I guess the pictures, too. You get to see two fancy gadgets, the leather mouse and the leather USB hub, that your billionaire friends will appreciate during business meetings. I can bet my earnings that they would be much more jealous on your leather mouse rather than your Rolex, and that is because they already have one Rolex.

It really shows off. It inspires luxury thanks to the brown and black colors of the leather. However the guys at Earth Trek have two more colors: white and pink so that you make sure you can annoy the billionaire women you know. Buy one and make them cry when you browse devicepedia.com. We don’t know prices and availability, but hope to get it soon. - ALEX ION

Wii Light Gun - shoot it right!

Posted Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007 by Mihnea Boiangiu
Wii Light Gun

A new device for Wii gamers was revealed. It is the Wii Light Gun peripheral. The Light Gun has an attachment for the “Wii Remote”. Utilizing this gun you will feel a more realistic shooting session while playing the Duck Hunt. The Nunchuk can be connected too, through the special port.

From the same category, I found the Wii Combat Pack for games like Zelda or Red Steel. The Pack contains a sword and a shield. Obviously, the sword docks the Wiimote, while the Nunchuk is placed in the shield.

Both game packs are available for $19 in online stores. The good part is this devices are really cheap and you won’t need to worry if you find them uninteresting.

USB anti-virus solution from DigiWorks Korea

Posted Friday, May 4th, 2007 by Alex Ion

Man I have been waiting for something like this but I always thought it’s not possible. Portable anti-virus solutions have been in town for some time and it looks like DigiWorks Korea corrected me, because they have one, too! They have a small USB key (USB Virus Chaser) with anti-virus built in software so that you can plug it in and then get the bad stuff out of your computer. This would be great for notebooks if you travel for example. Nice one, but I have a question: how do you update the virus definition?

There are two versions of the two USB Virus Chaser: 2MB and 4MB. Waiting for more info from DigiWorks [via Akihabara]

Creative Live! Cam Optia AF Announced

Posted Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007 by Marius Trusculescu

Creative Live! Cam Optia AF AnnouncedCreative recently unveiled a new stylish webcam for both notebook and desktop computers. The sexy little device is more than an eye-candy, providing a simple way of bringing live video to your computer and the web.

Featuring a high sensitivity image sensor the camera is able to take still pictures of up to 8 MP trough use of software enhancements, but has a video resolution of up to 1600 x 1200. However the higher resolutions comes with lower frame rates so the best fit is VGA (640×480) at 30 fps. The camera comes bundled with some video imaging software that might prove fun while broadcasting yourself to your friends online. - Marius TRUSCULESCU -

MoGo X54: The Business-card Sized Mouse

Posted Monday, April 30th, 2007 by Marius Trusculescu

Have you ever wondered what is the smallest, lightest mouse you can get for your laptop? Well we may have a winner. It’s not yet available on the market, but MoGO has a new product for us, the X54 measuring just 3.1″ x 2.125″ x .2″
(78 x 54 x 5 mm) and weighing 0.5 oz. (14 grams).

MoGo X54: The Business-card Sized Mouse

As you can see in the picture the new card size device is incredibly thin though it can fit any pocket, but it better fits the ExpressCard/54 slot of your laptop. Complying with the Bluetooth 2.0 standard it is completely autonomous as it features a built-in battery (90 mAh) that recharges automatically trough the ExpressCard/54 slot of you notebook computer. And if you think you won’t get quality with this device think again, cause this (little) bad boy comes with an 800 dpi optical sensor and a scroll pad.

Although i don’t see myself using a card as a mouse I might give this mouse a try in June when it will be released. It’s not that much to wait and customers can even make preorders on its webpage.- Marius TRUSCULESCU -

Sony PS3 Has The Eye On You

Posted Thursday, April 26th, 2007 by Marius Trusculescu

A recent Sony announcement lets us know of a new accessory for the PlayStation 3: the Eye USB digital camera. Intended to ship this summer, the PlayStation Eye offers modest performances with a resolution of 320×240 pixels (QVGA) @ 120 fps.

Sony PS3 Has The Eye On You

However, Sony decided to throw a built-in microphone with the product together with an additional software CD that allows some photo editing for the PS3 owners. The camera is designed to cope with the low light environment for a better image while playing and this is pretty neat considering Sony announced the Eye will play an active role in m
No details concerning the pricing have been made public yet. However you shouldn’t expect a serious overpriced product even if Sony is looking for ways to diminish the money it looses with every console it sells. - Marius TRUSCULESCU -

CF-to-SATA Hard Drive Adapter Is What I Need

Posted Thursday, April 26th, 2007 by Alex Ion

I’ve been thinking that my 2 years old laptop (it’s a good one, don’t laugh at it) could use a new hard drive because I am going to buy myself the new Sony H9 when it releases, and those pictures are going to be pretty big.

CF-to-SATA Hard Drive Adapter

The CF-to-SATA adapter is the perfect solution. Just heard about it on Engadget and I think it rocks. You get to use any type of compact flash into the CF-to-SATA hard drive adapter and then connect it to your laptop just like a normal 2.5-inch SATA hard drive. The compact flash is seen like an ordinary drive and you can make it bootable if you need to install your system on, be it Windows, OS X or Linux.

Two more things I need to say. It supports DMA and Ultra DMA modes and only costs $35.99 if you think that a CompactFlash media is shock resistant and a low power consumer. I might buy one just now to test it and post the review here. - ALEX ION

Genius Traveler 355 Laser is the First Opto Mouse in the World

Posted Tuesday, April 24th, 2007 by Alex Ion

Genius Traveler 355 Laser is the First Opto Mouse in the WorldUsed with a scroll-wheel for your mouse? You can forget it because Genius Traveler 355 Laser claims to be the first Opto mouse in the world with a touch sensor that replaced the scroll wheel. I am not sure how well will this new solution be accepted because we have a mouse with no mechanical elements: only some plastics and a bunch of sensors.

It’s not yet available, so if you want to test the new Genius Traveler 355 you should wait until it will be released next month, and I guess we will see some reviews and get feedback on how good the Opto Mouse is. - ALEX ION

USB drives with Swarovski crystals from Philips

Posted Friday, April 13th, 2007 by Alex Ion

We always give you some interesting concepts for USB drives. Remember the sushi and stamp usb drives? It’s time for Philips, the market’s conservative to partner with Swarovski to create the crystal usb drive. Not sure if you can start wearing it instead of a necklace while at a cocktail party but I am sure you will have people going for your neck if worn. There’s not only one version but more crystal-clad exteriors.

The only problem I ca see now is taking your Philips-Swarovski USB drive and not accessorize your outfit to measure the price and the glamour while going out with your pals for a beer. All I need to do now is buy a gold TV set, a platinum laptop and I am prepared for my new active crystals USB that will launch in August. Don’t you think?
