Join Logitech’s security solution targets small businesses
Logitech is a name that is well known among computer users due to the many peripherals that they roll out, and webcams are one of them. Well, Logitech’s webcams are not just there for you to hold a video conversation or conference with your family or colleagues – it will even add value to small businesses by functioning as a HD video and audio security solution – thanks to the introduction of the Logitech Alert B700i PoE Camera and Logitech Alert B700e PoE Outdoor Camera.
With Logitech’s Alert PoE system, it delivers Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity so that small business owners are able to monitor their cash register, storage rooms, warehouse or front desk regardless of what time it is, and where they are – as long as there is a decent Internet connection. It must be said that this is no pansy video feed – we’re talking about High Definition video here. The cameras will come with a smart HD camera, a built-in microphone, professional-grade wall mounts, and powerful PC software. Not only that, you will be able to enjoy free live remote viewing over a variety of devices, be it desktops, notebooks or on a smartphone.
Sony HD-PG5 external hard drive
To hear the name Sony associated with the world of external hard drives is something not everyone has come across – in fact, many of us would be wondering, just what the heck is Sony doing in the world of portable storage? Sure, they have had their fair share of fun with the Memory Stick range, but apart from flash memory, what else do they have on offer?
The order of things seem set to change as the consumer electronics giant has started to bring its first external hard drives to the market in the form of the HD-PG5 series, where these drives are compatible with the BRAVIA TV range as well as other devices from Sony’s catalogue. To know more about what the Sony HD-PG5 is capable of, you can always check out the extended post.

Smartfish Whirl Mini Wireless Mouse with matching Mouse Pad Travel Pouch
We have written about the Smartfish Mouse Pad Travel Pouch before, and it was made for products like the Whirl Mini Laser Mouse.
I got a chance to try them both out. I can honestly say that I like the Whirl Mini Laser Mouse with its patented ErgoMotion pivot system. The company says that it is like “floating in air”, and the mouse tilts to adapt to your wrist, which helps eliminate static joint pain.
The Mouse Pad Travel Pouch is also handy, as it can zip up to become a pouch for the Whirl Mini Laser Mouse. When unzipped, the Pouch becomes a 9-inch diameter mousepad, which is also handy for when your mouse doesn’t react well to your table surface.

Maxell AirStash ready to rock and roll
If you happen to own one of the following iOS-powered devices – the iPad, iPad 2, iPhone or iPod touch, then chances are you would have plenty of media stored on them, ready to entertain you at a moment’s notice whenever you are bored while making that daily commute to the office (and back, of course). Needless to say, space is never infinite, and eventually it will be filled up to the brim, but what happens when you have some extra help?
This is where the AirStash from Maxell comes in – this device is touted to be the first as well as only wireless flash drive in the market that delivers media streaming alongside two-way wireless document transfer capability. To put it in a nutshell, you no longer need to rely on your iOS device’s internal memory to store your entertainment media – that job has been relegated to the AirStash now. Granted, it means you need to tote around two more devices, but that’s certainly a small price to pay when you think about it, no? Learn more about the AirStash after the jump.

Western Digital has a heart for Mac owners
When it comes to additional storage for your precious data, surely the name Western Digital would have come across your mind. Well, Mac users might have had their brush with the Western Digital range in the past, but those never really jived in terms of design with what Apple offers. Not anymore though, as Western Digital’s latest generation of the popular My Book Studio external hard drives were specially designed to be aesthetically compatible with Mac computers and Apple Time Machine.
Heck, there is even a 3TB capacity model in the pipeline, where the new design will sport a brushed aluminum casing that matches the appearance of a Mac computer. Not only that, the aluminum case is used for more than its beauty – it will also do its part to keep the drive running cool when in use. Needless to say, Western Digital will promote the use of its own Caviar Green drives within, partly because it does away with the need for an internal fan, further reducing noise levels while extending the life of the drive.

Contort USB Hub
This is one USB hub that has most probably gone through the rigors of yoga for years, hence being able to contort in ways that were previously unimaginable. This 4-port USB hub and cord manager intends to fulfill its task of protecting your devices from accidental damage, and can even expand to accommodate additional cables if the need arises. For $24.99 a pop, you will end up with a four-port USB hub and cord manager that boasts of a flexible neck which will protect all your USB devices from accidental damage. The neck itself sports 360-degree mobility, while built-in cord management with a quartet of anchors will help corral your cables. Definitely a must-buy for those who are neat freaks.

The Amenbo five-finger mouse
I suppose that “the five fingered mouse” is the best description of this device. It certainly is the most dramatic.
So let’s just say hello to the Amenbo, a five-finger input device developed by the Double Research and Development Company. As you can see, there five little mice affixed to a palm-resting device by five wire ribbons.
You can watch a demonstration after the jump to see how it works, and I can definitely see how it can greatly benefit the world of computer graphics. If you have ever worked in three-dimensional space before, then you know that the regular mouse is not enough with its two-dimensional functionality.
