Just like the EyeTV Hybrid we discussed a couple of weeks ago, the EyeTV Diversity allows you to enjoy digital terrestrial TV wherever it is available, and regardless if you’re moving in a car, a train, or sitting in your office at home. The hardware resembles the Hybrid version --it’s a big USB stick with a coaxial connector at the top. But the side doesn’t come with a mini-USB connector, but with a second, tiny connector that accepts one of the two antennas that are delivered with the device.
Mobile computing is on the rise. An increasing mobility, consumerisation and alternative application delivery models are shifting corporate needs in new directions. In the U.S., 45% of the workforce was mobile in 2006, while in Europe some 80 to 90 million people are working from their cars, homes, hotel lobbies, etc. To accommodate the needs of these people, the technologies they use must roughly have the same capabilities as what they have access to when they are working from their office.
The LaserChamp barcode reader from SerialIO is a small, handheld, rubberized barcode reader capable of entering a large number of 1D barcodes into an equally large number of applications. The barcode device, manufactured by Microvision, comes with either a serial cable (with serial to USB converter) or a Bluetooth radio module (or both). Unlike most barcode readers, the LaserChamp does not interface like a traditional USB scanner as a keyboard wedge using the HID (Human Interface Device) protocol, which opens up a whole world of possibilities and functionality. Key to the LaserChamp’s flexibility and versatility is the SerialMagic software --available for most any platform, including Mac OS X Leopard.
Plantronics has a tradition of releasing good-quality sound devices. The Voyager 855 is no exception. It’s a Bluetooth headset that works with most Bluetooth capable mobile phones, offering excellent sound quality in stereo.
Apple’s Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Logitech’s MX Revolution. Two new mice, and they couldn’t be further apart in concept, usage, and feature set. The Mighty Mouse is an Apple mouse in every sense of the word: it is unobtrusive, it acts like a real mouse and it is more or less ergonomic. The MX Revolution is (or tries to be) a completely new concept for a pointing device.
Dymo recently released the LabelManager PC II label printer, a small nicely designed tape label printer that print to up to 24 mm Dymo labels. The LabelManager PC II is Mac OS X compatible.
