Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPad! I take it with me everywhere and I use it for just about everything, an address book, appointment calendar, Internet searching, entertainment… I wanted to put pictures on it, but that required a special dongle thingy. Hey, come to think of it there’s quite a few things my iPad could do, things it probably should do.

 So now what? Funny you should ask, you’re probably already puzzled as to why there’s no SD card slot, there’s no way to connect your camera without buying the Apple dongle thingy, there’s no USB port for charging, there’s no data port for external devices, you ARE asking yourself why, are you not? Well, with the 5-in-1 connection kit you still wont know why, but it simply wont matter anymore.

The kit includes a singular iPad (original and 2) compatible dongle that supports iOS 4.0 or better, and allows you to connect your iPad to a TV for video playback, utilize an SD card for data transfer, a computer for data sync and a keyboard for data input and DC for picture and video input.

Of course with your iPad being more of a “reader” of graphics files not everything you plug into the sucker will do what you want it to, and the manufacturer also suggests that you don’t plug in more than one thing at a time

So admittedly your trusty little iPad will still not be perfect, but it’ll be just a little bit closer and do a few more of the things you always hoped for. Isn’t that nice? The 5 in 1 Connector Kit is available from usbfever.com for under 40 bucks.

Mousing (if there is such a verb) would be like second nature to you, where you are able to scroll, swipe and surf wherever your fingertips rest on the mouse. Of course, having said that, the mouse itself is not a bulky device, but at least the surface of the mouse is far more interactive than ever before instead of being a regular plastic shell that we are all so used to. Not only that, it does not matter whether you are right-handed like the most of us, or are a southpaw, the Logitech Touch Mouse M600 will work just as well either way.

In addition, there is the Logitech Flow Scroll software that ensures the kind of scrolling you enjoy with the Logitech Touch Mouse M600 is not too choppy, which makes it perfect for folks who tend to go through line after line of a large spreadsheet file, filling it up with numbers and figures along the way. There is also advanced optical tracking technology thrown into the mix which translates to precision on virtually any surface – I do not think that it will work with glass though, as so far as I know, all optical mice I have used in the past, even the high grade gaming ones falter when it comes to a glass table.

To further cement its reputation as a looker, the Touch Mouse M600 was also named an International CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree – so you know that it has international recognition. After all, since most of you already have a smartphone or tablet and rely on touch interface navigation, the Logitech Touch Mouse M600 is a natural evolutionary purchase in the world of computing. You can pick one up for $69.99 a pop.

Sometimes, while I sit at my desk and toil away the hours working on my computer, I get lonely. It only stand to reason that I would enjoy the company of a friend. My perfect friend would be one that doesnt comment on my work, doesnt eat my food and wont make any noise while I’m trying to concentrate! 

So please welcome Andru! You probably recognize him as a little Android, but he is also a nifty little green phone charger made especially for Android phones, although of course, he will graciously charge any USB-powered device you would like to entrust him with. He comes with a micro-USB plug,but you can also use your own.

 Andru is only about two and a half inches tall and has movable arms and malleable little green antennae, his eyes light up to alert you to charging status (White for standby, blue for charge) and he comes with his very own stand, and cable. He doesn’t disturb, and listens quite attentively. I can also tell by his expression, Andru is incredibly non-judgemental.

Andru is available for only 25 bucks at www.powerbygen.com

Definitely useful as it ensures your hot drinks remain hot – and for longer periods of time, of course. All you need to do is make sure that your computer as an available USB port, and place your cup on top of it. It will fit most cups and slim mugs, and will also have a DC to USB cable just in case you want to plug it into any available power outlet at that point in time. Just make sure it remains out of reach of children – the hot plate will obviously get hot!

If you are one who basks in nostalgia, and would love to hear the sounds that come from a floppy disk drive of old being read, then this is it. Otherwise, it would still make for a great conversation starter, and there is even the classic LED which lights up when plugged in to indicate power, read and write activity.
