Logitech loves your laptop

The gang at accessories powerhouse Logitech have been hard at work devising a slate of new products for your laptop. The most interesting of these--all being officially announced today--are a couple of laptop cases and laptop stands.

If the ubiquity of a laptop stand has eluded you, you clearly have not spent enough time trying to work on a laptop in a standard office environment, staring at a screen below eye level and trying to work a flat keyboard all day long.

Logitech's Middleman

When I first saw the title of the Logitech Transporter, I immediately thought, wished, hoped it would be a device that let me travel through time. No.

The Logitech Transporter allows you to easily and seamlessly transmit audio from a PC, portable music player or the internet over a wireless network to speakers you connect to it. Even better, it works seamlessly with Pandora -- my favorite web audio source.

Philips SRU8010 remote delivers customized his-and-hers channel lineups

The household battle for dominance of the remote control is a launching pad for a thousand bad stand-up comedy routines--and even some more scholarly examinations.

The SRU8010 uses built-in wizards to … Read more

I finally took the big plunge and acquired a new and superfancy computer. Unfortunately, I am now cursed by the demon of bad speakers. Fortunately, I have seen the promised land of audio, and it looks like the Logitech Z-2300. These are the holy grail of computer audio goodness: both affordable and of excellent quality. Given that I am both a music fanatic, and not in possession of a stereo, quality speakers for my computer are a must, and these are just what I need!

Say hello to my iPod's little friends

Christmas saw fit to deliver unto me an iPod. I feel like I'm living in the future now! With one now on my shelf, my eye has turned towards the glorious world of accessories, and what accessory can I not seem to live without? Why speakers of course! For maximum portability I've got a hankering for the Klipsch iGroove. With a nice design and hard to find woofer and tweeter combination, this is the set of speakers that I'll be going after in the new year.

Logitech makes the anti-mouse

Just what we need, one more thing to confuse us on the desktop. We don't doubt Logitech's good intentions in developing the "NuLOOQ Navigation Tool," which Tech Digest says was apparently designed to lessen RSI by reducing "the repetitive use of shortcut keys and scrolling around trying to find the right button to click." There's just one thing we don't quite understand: Isn't the idea to use fewer devices, not more?
