Lenovo Mini Wireless Keyboard Shocker – Being Sold by Brando?!

by Jay Garrett on February 24, 2010

This must be a first!!

Brando, the purveyor of USB based silliness, is selling this – the HTPC loving Lenovo Mini Wireless Keyboard for $64.

Yup – it’s selling a useful item from a known maker!! :p

This large remote control sized thumb keyboard and trackball uses a 2.4GHz wireless connection and works up to 30 feet away.

Pretty much ideal for use with Windows Media Center, Boxee, or just about any other PC-based media center application and saves having to get up off your sofa ;)

It’s powered by two AAA batteries and the USB receiver neatly right inside the controllers battery compartment.

As well as ordering from Brando you could, if you so wished, order it directly from Lenovo and save four bucks – and perhaps a little more as Lenovo always seems to have a variety of coupon codes floating around.

EOps i24R3 Portable – Single Unit Wireless Surround Sound Speaker

by Jay Garrett on November 4, 2009

i24r3-portable-speakeWhy have I got a picture of a broken table/giant spinning-top/dartboard/archery target?

This is none-of-the-above as you can well imagine.

What that happens to be is the EOps i24R3 Portable.

The real, working, funkiness is a wireless, waterproof, single-speaker surround sound system that has just been announced by Hong Kong designer Michael Young.

The system is a single sealed sound chamber filled with four, 2.6 inch flat speakers and two 4.5inch passive radiator speakers which all snuggle up to a 2×10W Class D amplifier.

You can either hook this up to a wall socket or it will run off the built-in lithium polymer battery.

Looking around it you may become confused as there are no inputs.

To get your choonz pumping the i24R3 grabs your music over 2.4GHz wireless USB or A2DP Bluetooth – direct and wireless from the likes of iTunes and devices like iPhones.

Needless to say that there seems to be no word on price – but it does look pretty schweeeeeeeeet you must agree.

Or not?

Let me know :)
