Lenovo IdeaCentre A300 and Multimedia Keyboard review

AirStash brings the WiFi, neglects the storage, for a cent under $100

When we last saw the AirStash , it was keeping its mystique about it and refusing to disclose any salient details beyond the fact that it’ll function as a wireless SD/SDHC card reader.

Elecom introduces SDXC-compatible card reader, waits for you to afford SDXC cards

Panasonic’s duo of SDXC cards should be shipping out this month, which means that you’ll be needing a new card reader on the double. Of course, it’s not like you’re really about to pay upwards of $450 for 32GB of wicked fast Secure Digital storage (or $600 for the 64 gigger), but hey, it’s hard to knock Elecom for being proactive. Said outfit has just released what looks to be the first multicard readers to openly support SDXC , with the MR-A001BK handling ten formats and the MR-A002 supporting a grand total of 32 — some of which haven’t been used regularly since Vikings ruled the north.

Vertu V makes no concessions: $730 BT headset, $490 card reader, and $330 ballpoint pen

Because nothing says “I ain’t afraid of no recession” like plopping down an excess amount of Benjamins for a Bluetooth earpiece, Vertu has unveiled its V accessories collection.

Samsung N310 renamed Go, befriends bacteria

Pre-order availability of this netbook has now turned into a full-blown US-wide shelf invasion.

Dexim MHub mixes up an iPod dock with a USB hub

We’re actually sort of surprised that we haven’t seen many more iPod dock / USB hub / card reader hybrids, but the Dexim MHub here is the only one we can recall seeing apart from the Griffin Simplifi .
