Mimobot USB Flash Memory Drive:
(n) A small, portable flash memory card that plugs into a
computer’s USB
port
and functions as a portable hard drive. Sounds boring doesn’t it? And it is—until now! Mimoco has released a
series of new USB 2.0 Flash Memory Drives that are anything but boring. Basing sets around various themes,
Mimoco’s Flash Drives (Mimobot) are as much fun to look at as to use. Star Wars. Who doesn’t like
Star Wars-all of those memorable characters?
Mimoco has taken the Star Wars characters and incorporated them into
Flash Drives. How cool is that!? Everyone knows Anakin Skywalker
becomes Darth Vader. Mimoco's Anakin
Skywalker Flash Drive comes in two parts.
The lower part (containing the USB attachment and memory) is painted
and sculpted to look like Anakin Skywalker dressed as Darth Vader and the Flash
Drive cap is Vader’s helmet that slips over to hide the USB sleeve and
Anakin’s face! I can hear it now, “If
you only knew the power of the Flash Drive!” Next up is Han Solo as seen in
The Empire Strikes Back. Han comes
dressed in his brown and tan outfit with a worried look on his face. The USB hub cover is Han’s hair. Why does Han look so worried? Good reason-included with the Han Solo
Flash Drive is a Carbonite carrying case showing Han frozen in Carbonite. A clip attached to the case. A number of other Star Wars
figures are available as are Flash Drives depicting dozens of other characters. Flash Drive comes with wallpapers, sound
bytes, icons and other digital goodies.
Packaging is in either bubble packs or small boxes with viewing
panels. All are decorated with art. In order to protect your
Mimobot Flash Drives Mimoco has created Flash Drive Hoodies: small fabric
sleeves with clips that snuggle your Flash Drives and protect the Flash
Drives and their cool images from damage. Who would ever think that Flash
Drives could be so much fun!?
Micro Traveler 900S Wireless Mouse When Genius states that its new 2.4GHz Wireless Notebook Mouse is a Micro Traveler (68mm) it isn't kidding! Although small in size the Micro Traveler 900S delivers in a big way! Compatible both with Mac and PC, the Notebook Mouse clocks in at 1200 dpi, includes a Stick N Go Mount, Pico Receiver and a AAA battery. The multi-lingual User's Manual guides you effortlessly through the installation process and after a few clicks and snaps you're up a running with a minimum of fuss. The Mouse's small size makes transporting it easy and because it takes up so little space it allows you to easily carry along with your Notebook. The two-button, single wheel Mouse fits snuggly in your hand and performs just like it larger cousins. Just to demonstrate how well the Mouse performs I used it on my HP desktop. It actually has a faster response time than my standard wireless Mouse and a much smoother refresh rate. How's that for performance!?
Recently I went shopping for a digital photo frame I could use to display my students’ artwork work at school. I need it to be rugged, easy to set up and with a large enough viewing area to best showcase the student’s work. I found all of that in Sunpak’s 15” Digital Photo Frame and at an unbelievably affordable price! I was able to quickly create a slide show by plugging in a jump drive into the frame’s side. Pictures rotate at a selected speed and can be cropped and manipulated as need be. Other features include the ability to play MP3 music, download images from memory cards used in digital cameras and view up to 12 Mega Pixels images. The frame includes a credit card style remote control that duplicates the controls on the frame itself. Easy to understand on screen icons guide you through each function, set up time is quick and the attraction faux wood frame come with a detachable stand for easy display. Great looks, great features and a great price makes the Sunpak 15” Digital
Photo Frame the perfect choice for your digital photo needs.
As a graphic designer, illustrator and teacher of drawing and computer graphics I often use a computer drawing tablet. I prefer a tablet that is easy to set up, requires no batteries, includes a pen that also requires no batteries and allows me to adjust the pressure and sensitivity of the pen to accommodate the type of illustration (and the software used) I happen to be working on. I found all of these in the Hanvon Graphicpal 0605 model. Included with the 6x5 inch work area tablet are a pen with extra nibs, a pen holder, a built snap in pen holder on the tablet for easy transport and free bundled software. The software includes (for Windows only) Pen Write that translates the user's handwriting to text in most Microsoft programs, Pen Sign for writing your autograph on documents, Pen Mail that sends handwriting messages and Pen Mark for writing on any computer screen as an electronic whiteboard function. A free 30-day trial of Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2 is also included. The Hanvon tablet is compact, rugged, easy to transport and includes an incredibly sensitive pen that allows the user to write or illustrate using the finest of lines. A handy tutorial makes setting up your tablet a breeze, an online manual is available and the tablet can used by both PC and Mac computers. It's an attractive tablet that includes lots of bells and whistles at an
affordable price. One word of
advice-make sure you download the most up-to-date driver. Hanvon keeps its website
(http://www.hanvon.com/en/) current and it is extremely user-friendly. Hanvon USA website at http://usa.hanvon.com.
