Mimo 710-S portable and flippable monitor
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Displays, Peripherals, USB,
I don’t know what it is about the Mimo 710-S, but I just have to like it. Maybe it’s because I could use a little portable flip-shut monitor for my laptop, even if it is 7-inches with 800x480 resolution. Maybe it is because it attaches to my laptop easily via USB. Actually, I think I like pretty much everything about the Mimo 710-S, except the price, which is $140.

Logitech’s Unifying Receiver Solves a Common USB Problem
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Accessories, USB, PC / Laptop, Peripherals, Wireless / WiFi,
I’m certain that many of you have the problem of too many USB devices and not enough USB ports. Fortunately, Logitech is helping to solve this problem with their Unifying Receiver. It is basically a wireless dongle that is designed to work with many new Logitech products including the K350/K340 wireless keyboard ($59.99/$49.99), as well as the Marathon Mouse M705/M505 ($69.99/$49.99). Granted, Bluetooth could do the same thing, but those devices are a bit more expensive. We like where Logitech’s mind is at, so kudos to their forward thinking.

C100S Polycom Skype Communicator
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Accessories, USB, Internet, Peripherals,
Maybe it’s the word “communicator” in the name of the Polycom Skype Communicator, but it reminds me of a certain tool that Captain Kirk used on the original Star Trek series, except the flap is on the other side.
This Communicator enables the user to hold hands-free conversations, using high-quality microphones that can eliminate feedback and echoes. It hooks up to your computer via USB, and is perfect for Skype conversations or as an external speaker. You should be able to get the Polycom C100S USB Speakerphone for about $112.

Split Stick two-sided flash drive
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Accessories, USB, Design, Storage,
I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty dependent on my USB flash drives. Except for the amount of storage they hold, most of them are pretty much the same. The Split Stick is different because it is double-sided.
So the user gets 4GB of memory, but it is divided into two 2GB partitions, if you will. That might be good if you want to differentiate your files, or if two people are sharing one stick. The Split Stick is available for $19.99 in colors of orange, blue, pink, red, black, violet, grey, or green.

Watch out, mimobots. Funko has their own 2GB flash drives based on the Star Wars characters Darth Vader, Yoda, Stormtrooper and Boba Fett. Decapitate your fave to get to the connector. While mimico’s designs are limited edition art, come in differing storage amounts and pre-loaded with content, Funkos have a little more detail and look more like the originals. The quartet will be available this October for $24.99 each.
