Seriously, the marketing guys over at LaCie seem like a fun bunch. Not that we’re surprised… they did call their other USB keys the CooKey and WhizKey after all. So now, we have this tiny new thing called the MosKeyto. Tiny is probably an understatement; the MosKeyto has got to be one of the smallest USB drives available right now—at least the smallest we’ve seen without featuring a flat, chip-on-board interface that really doesn’t work with that well with older USB ports.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab won’t be the only new slate gunning for the iPad now. Toshiba just officially introduced the Folio 100, an Android-based tablet that goes large with a 10.1-inch, 1024 x 600-resolution touchscreen.

Philips has teamed up with sports apparel brand O’Neill, coming up with a line of headphones for active, outdoorsy-types—basically, the exact same people who are familiar with and most likely use O’Neill’s gear. The new line includes four models; two over-ear cans called The Stretch and The Snug, and two in-ear ‘phones, The Covert and The Specked. Awesome stuff, really. Gear that you have to consider if you fit the Philips-O’Neill target market.

Samsung has finally and officially unveiled the Galaxy Tab, their Android-powered multimedia slate that’s also set to be an official iPad rival. As seen on various leaks, the Galaxy Tab is a little more compact than the iPad, with a 7-inch, 1024 x 600 touchscreen, but comes with a number of built-in features that isn’t available on the Apple tablet: a 3-megapixel main cam, a 1.3MP cam at the front for doing video calls, and a microSDHC card slot for adding more storage.

Microsoft finally unveiled the “mysterious” product that they’ve teased on Twitter. It wasn’t that much of a mystery since an early listing already revealed what the Arc Touch mouse was all about a couple of weeks ago, but the official word at least confirmed a few things. Like the functions. We all know about the “curve for comfort, flatten to pack” design, but here are the rest of the details:  It’s still works like your standard 3-button mouse, with the center strip serving as a touch-sensitive scroll wheel that you can tap and flick to scroll. Haptic feedback helps give you the “ticking” feel that you normally get from a regular scroll wheel.
