Logitech

Logitech had a new addition to the input family. The diNovo Media bluetooth keyboard is as thin as my wristwatch and has a stylish aluminum finish. Paired with the MX900 bluetooth mouse, it looks right smart. And following the success of their MX500 and MX700 mice, Logitech delivers the MX1000. Buttons galore and ergonomically knurled, it is a handsome addition to the family. Although, Kurtis and Brian couldn't agree whether or not it was heavier or lighter than the MX700. I abstained from the argument, deeming them both ignorant (Editor's Note: El Presidente does not like your tone). However, my favorite part of the Logitech experience was when a blue-suited businessman started quizzing the Logitech rep about the new diNovo. The rep asked if the man was familiar with Bluetooth, and the blue-suit man said "oh yes." Then, old blue-suit man proceeded to ask 1) if the bluetooth keyboard was wireless and 2) what advantages the bluetooth keyboard had over a wired keyboard. I giggled audibly. It's the little things that entertain me.

Unlike Belkin, Logitech had their gaming devices out in full force. I tried my hand at EA's NBA 2005 with the Rumblepad 2 wireless. I am currently testing that very gamepad. One might assume that since I am familiar with the pad that I would play the game well... one would be wrong. I was also drooling over their newest Driving Force Pro wheel-set. I must have one! And speaking of must have, the Z-5500 5.1 THX certified speakers were a bumpin' too. I could have lived at that booth.

Motorola

Back to those Motorola phones. You all have no doubt seen those ads for the new Motorola Razer phone. Yeah, me too, and I want one. This is a really big deal as I absolutely despise cell phones of any type, brand or flavor. But this one speaks to me. I'll shut up now, see for yourself. It includes PDA functionality and a 1 megapixel camera that took average looking phone pics. I really dig the steel finish button design. Ok, I'm shutting up now.
