Join Logitech Wireless Touchpad is very hands-on
About a week ago, we reported on the announcement of Logitech’s Wireless Touchpad, and I just got to try it out for myself.
The Touchpad is like the touchpad on your laptop, but a lot bigger at 5-inches (my laptop is about 3 inches). It comes with a a dongle that allows the user to work wirelessly with your computer.
The setup is quite simple, and then its all about learning what you can do with your fingers. The one finger will let you do all the things a mouse can do like move the cursor, double click, and drag and drop. It gets more interesting when you go with more than one finger.
For example, two finger swipes are for both vertical and horizontal scrolling. A three finger swipe is for page navigation: a three finger swipe up or down is Page Up or Page Down, and the three-finger swipe left or right will go forward or back one page.
Then there is the four fingered swipe, which is good for displaying a window of open applications. It can also do a minimize and restore windows, as well as a Windows 7 snap.
You should be able to get the Logitech Wireless TouchPad for about $49.99. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a lot more touchpads like this from other companies, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are larger. I think all of us are getting used to the touch interface of our mobile phones and tablets, and soon all laptop screens will be like them. Until then, we have devices like this.

I would say that when we talk about the 21st century as well as towards the end of the 1990s, many people were optimistic that we would soon move into a true blue wireless and paperless age, but judging by what I see at the moment, it seems as though that is not going to happen anytime soon. Why, you ask? Well, paper is still an indispensable part of life, and it is far easier to access something you’ve written on a note than to pull out your notebook or smartphone, turn it on, and boot up a particular note taking program.
As for going wireless, that is far more practical – although it has not really caught on as I originally thought it would. Logitech intends to push the wireless envelope with their latest product, the $49.99 Logitech Wireless Touchpad. Yup, the introduction of touchpads on notebooks, netbooks and even an optical trackpad on a smartphone did open up a whole new way of interacting with the digital world. Let’s see what Logitech has in store for us with their Logitech Wireless Touchpad after the jump.

Logitech HD webcam B525 brings video chats to business circles
A webcam has proved to be an accessory that you can live without, although those who are involved in long distance relationships might beg to differ. After all, there is nothing quite like seeing your beloved in the flesh despite being separated by thousands of miles, with a phone call coming in second where keeping in touch is concerned. Logitech does not only make computer mice, you know, as the Swiss company is also involved in a bunch of other peripherals where among them include keyboards and webcams, which we will look at the latter in greater detail today with the business-class Logitech HD webcam B525.

Dubbed the Iomega Mac Companion Hard Drive, this particular storage device comes with the tagline, “Mac Users Need It, the Iomega Mac Companion Hard Drive has It”.

Brando USB optical mouse serves as digital scale
We have seen a lot of interesting products come out of Brando before, and they are often quite useful in certain situations. For example, there was the Bike Crash Cam, good for lawsuits involving a two-wheeled bike accidents.
This USB optical mouse also seems good for only certain situations. As you can see, there is a working scale on this mouse. It has a cover so you are not constantly weighing your fingers.
The problem that I see is that I don’t think I really need a device like this. While it is handy to have a scale on one’s desktop, I don’t really need one that can only go up to 500 grams. I wonder if there is an app for something like this.

Victorinox Swiss Army (VSA) has created a lot of USB Flash Memory devices (not to mention cutlery), and they recently have released the Slim and Slim Duo. Both of them have a USB plug that retracts like the famous Swiss Army knife, and the Duo is the one with two USB plug-ins.

Verbatim unleashes Ergo Mouse
Verbatim is more often than not a name which we associate with flash memory as well as portable storage (remember floppies back in the day?), but here we see them branching out into peripherals such as a mouse – specifically speaking, the Ergo Mouse. Verbatim’s Ergo Mouse will take the wireless route to keep up with the times, making sure you do not end up with a tangled mess at the end of the day.
This is an ergonomic mouse that seems to cater only to right handers as you can see from the image above, so southpaws will have to look elsewhere – or just pester the folks over at Verbatim to roll out a left-handed version! Featuring a convenient thumb support (for your right hand, of course), it offers what Verbatim calls to be “the ultimate comfortable computing experience.” The Ergo Mouse has an ultra-smooth, rubberized grip and scroll wheel that were specially developed with comfort in mind, making you control your computer easily without batting an eyelid.
