Apple’s Wireless Keyboard has been nothing short of great. It has a good feel to it, it doesn’t take up much space on a desktop, and it looks awesome, thanks to the aluminum panels that perfectly matches any modern Mac. Problem is, some people still need a numeric keypad—for long-time Apple Wireless Keyboard users, that’s the area to the right of a standard keyboard. The one with the cluster of number keys. It makes for easy number-crunching, which makes for quick spreadsheet and calculator work, which makes it handy for people who always work on spreadsheets and calculators. Personally, this writer uses the numpad for a few games too. Anyway, you get the picture: Apple Wireless Keyboard: great. Lack of a numpad: not too good if you’re the type who needs one. Solution? This LMP Keypad that hooks up seamlessly to a Wireless Keyboard.
Toshiba just released a version of their Canvio portable drives that specifically targets Mac users. Simply named the ‘Canvio for Mac’ (just so there’s no confusion), the new drives come preloaded with NTI Shadow 5 for Mac for doing easy backup and syncs. Aside from that and the Mac-matching colors (they’re available in white or silver shells) they’re still pretty much your standard drive that connects via standard USB 2.0. They’re available now in three capacities: 500GB ($120), 750GB ($140) and 1TB (190).
Western Digital has released the new models for their line of My Passport and MyBook external drives, but they left an updated “Studio” version out. So what’s new with the updated My Passport Studio? It’s still basically a portable drive designed with the new My Passport line’s curves, but adds an e-paper display to the mix.
