Logitech has introduced the Cube, a device that basically ties the functions of both a wireless mouse and a wireless presenter into one compact wireless kit that fits into a shirt pocket. It’s not necessarily the first mouse/presenter combo that we’ve seen, but it’s certainly the most interesting we’ve seen yet – the design certainly helps (despite the name, it’s technically not a “cube,” by the way), but a number of unique features help it stand out.
Logitech has announced the Mini Boombox, a compact speaker kit that’s designed to hook up wirelessly with mobile devices. That’s pretty much it: it’s a wireless speaker that you can carry around with you (as long as you don’t mind a bulge in your pack since it’s far from slim), and pair with any Bluetooth-enabled device such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
Looking for a better way to control your home entertainment system? Logitech has something for that – they’ve actually been serving universal Harmony remotes for years. But if you already own a smart device, say, an iPad, iPhone or Android device, then you don’t have to splurge on a separate remote anymore. They’ve just announced the Harmony Link, a tiny adapter that acts as a WLAN-to-infrared bridge, letting your iPad (or iPhone/ iPod touch/ Android device) control your home entertainment system.
The title pretty much says it all, but just in case you’re a true-blue Windows user and have no idea what Apple’s Magic Trackpad, it’s basically a large trackpad, a separate accessory not unlike that touch panel on your laptop, but bigger. Logitech’s Wireless Touchpad is pretty much the Windows version of the Magic Trackpad that Apple introduced back in July, featuring a five-inch surface that supports multitouch gestures for getting that tablet feel on a desktop (or laptop) PC.
Despite the larger speaker on the iPad 2, there’s only so much sound you can get from a tablet that slim. That and the fact that the speaker at the back is aimed, well, backwards, means that if you’re into tablet-based audio, you’re better off plugging in a headset. Here’s Logitech’s solution: a speaker accessory that clips behind the iPad.
