Computers, Gizmo of the Day / By /

This is cute. It’s a USB card reader that is shaped like and labeled as the “Ctrl” and “Enter” keys. It’s a totally functional card reader that supports SD, micro SDHC, MicroSD, Sony M2, Memory Stick, and MS duo cards as well as MicroSD/T-Flash/Micro SDHC and Sony M2 cards. It is USB 2.0 compatible and is about the size of a small USB thumb drive.

It comes in white, black and navy blue and is cheap enough to fill those Christmas stockings.

KeyScan keyboard with built-in color scanner and ID card feeder

Computers, Gizmo of the Day / By /

This gadget is a bit unusual for the average home user, but I can see some businesses using this – it’s a keyboard with a color scanner built right into it.

The scanner is a sheet-feed scanner that can also take plastic cards like driver licenses, ID cards, etc. It scans into color at 24/48 bits or gray or black & white at a resolution of 600dpi. This USB 2.0 device also has 2 USB 2.0 ports of its own. About the only downside is that it only works on Windows, presumably because they’ve only created drivers for Windows.

Flexible keyboards are old news, we’ve seen them and grown tired of gadget programs still referring to them as amazing new technology. The illuminated flexible keyboard gives us something to talk about –  it’s a completely flexible keyboard that can be rolled, folded and washed (yes, it’s fully washable – no more finger grime on your keyboard!) to your heart’s content and comes in 4 different colors; blue, pink, green and white. When plugged in via your USB or PS2 port it lights up to show you all the keys in a fashionable and very practical manner – perfect for surfing the internet under your bed sheets! For $19.99 it’s a bargain!

Lazy Pad – palm-sized Bluetooth keyboard and mouse

1 Comment / Computers, Gizmo of the Day, Portable / By /

The Bluetooth-connected Lazy Pad lets you control your laptop or notebook with this all-in-one keyboard & trackpad. It even includes a numeric keypad. Weighing in at just over 3oz and just over 4″ at its widest and very thin, it’s pretty easy to hold in one palm while you control it with the other.

You can also use it as an adjunct number pad; the accountant in you will like that. It has a number of key combinations that let you perform functions that typically only a full-scale keyboard would do.
