New MCE keyboard

Posted by – July 12, 2005

Engadget has an (originally from activewin.com) about a new wireless keyboard for Microsoft’s Windows Media Center Edition. It is very nice looking, has some nice features and isn’t too costly. I would like to know what wireless protocol it uses, Bluetooth hopefully.

Cellphone Lust

Posted by – July 8, 2005

This isn’t exactly news, but I am looking for a new cell phone and the Sony Ericsson W800i is definitely a front runner. Some of the features of this phone are 30 hours of music playback, 2 mega-pixel camera, Bluetooth, video recorder and tri-band GSM. It also has a Memory Stick Pro Duo (that name is way too long) card slot which will allow for a sizeable amount of storage at good prices. A 1GB Memory Stick is currently around $99.00. Not bad for the same storage as an iPod Shuffle that goes for $129.00.

Simplicity is best

Gizmodo has a little bit on the new DiscHub 2. Version 2 brings minor improvements, none of which are exactly newsworthy. What is newsworthy, at least in my opinion, is the wonderful simplicity of this product. It’s best traits lie in what it is lacking. No bright blue LEDs. No mechanism to shoot a CD or DVD out at you when you push one in slightly. No cumbersome footprint taking up valuable desk space. DiscHub 2 is simply a nicely designed, simple object for holding a few CDs or DVDs that you use frequently.

Sweet HD Camcorder

Preface: I really like gadgets!

Sony is going to release a really cool camcorder, the HDR-HC1. It will record in High-Definition. While there are other cameras available that also record in HD, this one is super small (comparatively).
