The Buffalo keyboard features a phone attached to the right hand side of the keyboard. It allows everything you need to communicate be right there with you. For some reason it reminds me of something Dr. Evil would have on his desk, although looking at the size of the actual handset, it’s probably something he has mini-me use.

When the BKBU-SKJ109/SV (Long way of saying Skype keyboard) is released in Japan it will cost $65. The phone is Skype certified and just requires a small piece of software to communicate with the Skype software on your computer.

The Strada CN-MP50D was created by Panasonic and is a PNS (Portable Navigation System). Usually they are referred to as GPS devices. It has a 5″ LCD screen running in widescreen format at 480 x 272 pixels. The screen is also backlit. As well as having 2 GB of storage the Strada also has a 1Seg TV tuner in there too. The device will cost 455 Euros and seems to only be available in Japan. I must admit that the 3D nav pictured does look quite cool with that lane guidance built in.

Due to it having a 1Seg tuner in there I doubt we will see it over this side of the globe in it’s current form.

If you watched the keynote by Steve Jobs a couple of days ago, you will have seen him bring out on state a manila envelope which he pulled out the new MacBook Air. It was used to emphasise how thin the new MacBook air is. A couple of quick thinkers, Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans jumped on this idea and have created a hand made upholstery-grade vinyl case lined with fleece to protect your new super slim MacBook Air.

You can place orders now for $29.95 and they plan to ship them along side your new Mac in a few weeks when they are officially launched.

Yesterday, Apple revealed it’s latest goodies to be made available. This time the winner of the show was the MacBook Air which is a seriously slim MacBook with the option of a flash based hard drive. The MacBook Air has some impressive features with the size of the thing being most noticeable. It measures just 0.76″ thick which is slim compared to a Sony Vaio and it weighs just 3 pounds. The screen is 13.3″ and wide-screen backlit with LED’s. Resolutions range from 720 x 480 up to 1280 x 800. An integrated 37-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery powers the MacBook Air which can keep it running for 5 hours with wireless enabled. That alone is a fairly impressive number. The processors options are either 1.6Ghz or 1.8Ghz and the unit comes standard with an 80GB HDD with the option for a 64GB SSD drive. SSD is the way to go, but does add a hefty number on to the total ($1299 extra). If you can afford to splash our for the extra .2 GHZ and SSD then do it.

For connectivity you are looking at Wireless 802.11n draft specification with backwards compatibility for a/b/g. Bluetooth is 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate).

Another nice feature about the MacBook Air is the backlit keyboard and a multi touch mouse pad which works in the same way a multi touch screen on the iPhone works. If you want to zoom, you just gesture with moving your fingers apart etc…

Overall it’s a very nice MacBook and well worth pre ordering.

A plethora of memory cards are found in mobile phones, digital cameras and other similar devices. Transferring data is usually the quickest when connecting the memory card right up to your PC rather then via USB cable. The 62-in-1 card reader does just what it says. It has several slots which between them can take 62 different formats of memory card. It uses a 3.5″ floppy drive bay and connects direct to the motherboard on your PC. As well as reading memory cards the device can hook up to a SATA and e-SATA type drive which can be very handy for some.

It costs just $39.99 and is available from USBFever.

Asus launched the Eee PC this year and it created quite a bit of interest. They are now releasing a new slim desktop PC which will be named the Nova P22. The P22 is a Core 2 Duo desktop computer. The processor is the E6320 and the slim Nova PC sports 1GB DDR2 RAM. The hard drive is fairly large too which is a 160GB SATA. The DVD-RW is a slot drive allowing that to slim the whole size down too. Wireless runs at 802.11n and there are plenty of ports on it for DVI, USB, sound, power and wired Ethernet.

Not a bad little system with that power and ideal for many who are restricted in desk space. The PC also has a stand to hold the Nova in a similar way to the Wii.

Engadget managed to take LG’s new UMPC for a spin over at CES. The LG has a nice keyboard, a touch screen with stylus, can transfer data at high speed using HSDPA networks. The screen is a nice size too at 4.8 inches (wide screen). This particular model is aimed at Europe, Asia and Canada, but not the US. No doubt a similar version will be made available for the US though.

This particular model was running Vista. Hopefully with Vista’s SP1 soon to be released it will run quite nicely.

The LimePC will be launched during 2008 and claims to be the next era of personal computing. It will work by allowing users to keep the small iPod-size device with them which permits them to connect to whoever they want and the way they want. From what the brief LimePC website page mentions, it appears to be built around a community which could well be a FaceBook type web 2.0 app in your pocket. Not only will it allow for a community type operation, it will also allow for you to choose what you want on your device and what needs to be carried around with you.

On the security side of things the device uses LimeConnect which is a secure data delivery platform. Apart from this information there isn’t much available yet. As soon as we receive more details from the LimePC people we will let you know exactly what it will do.

This gadget is a USB Edge mobile device which connects direct to your laptop’s USB port. It connects right to a EDGE/GPRS or GSM networks across the world due to it being quad band (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz). When using EDGE it can receive data at 236.8 kbps which is sufficient for an almost broadband type connection on the move.

All you need to make sure is that your network provider offer a good chunk of data as 236.8 kbps could burn a hole in your pocket if you are not careful.

The USB Edge with antenna costs $199.99.
