Logitech DiNovo Mini Remote Masters Your PC/ Home Entertainment Center

Schwag bags and hangovers aren't the only things we brought back from CES. We also got a stowaway in the form of Logitech's diNovo Mini. Cracking open its stylish, black clamshell revealed everything we've ever wanted in a keyboard/remote hybrid: A full QWERTY layout, dedicated media buttons, and a mini trackpad. Paired with its rechargeable lithium-ion battery and Bluetooth connectivity, the Mini should've been the Holy Grail for home theater PC controllers. Unfortunately, when it came to pairing that style with actual functionality, Logitech balances things ...poorly.

Logitech had the right idea in bringing the keyboard to the living room, and that's where the Mini truly shines. Although it feels more like a Blackberry than a traditional QWERTY, the Mini's rubberized keys were easy to navigate and responsive. Switching from movies to IMing was as simple as hitting the pause key, using the trackpad to navigate to the IM window, and then typing away. But at a little over six inches wide, you're not going to be clocking Mavis Beacon speeds. We found that the best strategy for hammering out URLs and short messages was using our thumbs.

When it came to web surfing and other tasks that relied heavily on the trackpad, we hit a few bumps. The good news is that the trackpad can be toggled into two modes: One for basic "up-down-left-right" movement, and another for traditional analog control. We had little trouble with the simple quad-directional interface, but that's probably because we only found it useful for navigating Media Center menus. However, the analog control was much more finicky, requiring a lot of sensitivity tweaks to pull off semi-advanced moves like clicking and dragging icons. Setbacks like these make it clear that the Mini is a niche home theater device first, and a mouse/keyboard replacement second. On top of its triple digit price point, it looks like we'll stick to walking across the room to press our buttons. —Terrence Russell

WIRED A quick fix for the home theater PC/remote conundrum. Decent battery life. Bluetooth dongle hides away in battery compartment. Easy setup. Orange and green backlit keys ensure easy usage in the dark. PS3 compatible.

TIRED At $150, it should control more — like maybe a game console. Trackpad wakes up slowly. Plastic housing feels flimsy and attracts fingerprints. Don't even think about high impact FPS action. Lack of IR capability limits use with other components.  No Apple or XBox 360 support? FAIL!  $150, logitech.com (story Link)

Under 100$ Great 25 Gadgets

It's no secret that consumers are watching what they spend. I, for one, have had to rethink my tech purchases. As much as I'd love a big-screen HDTV and new gaming console, the smarter option (for now) is to keep on top of my mortgage payments and high heating bills.

With the majority of Americans cutting back on their purchases, online retailers are faced with lots of challenges of their own. comScore recently released its 2008 fourth-quarter retail e-commerce sales estimates, and the results aren't pretty: Online retail spending declined 3 percent versus one year ago; that's the first quarter of negative growth since 2001 that comScore has reported. For all of 2008, though, retail e-commerce grew 6 percent to $130.1 billion—but this number represents a substantially lower growth rate than in previous years, comScore reported.

The times sure look dismal, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on cool tech gear. You probably won't go out and drop a few hundred on a camcorder or netbook, but a $99 digital camera or a $50 speaker system definitely seems reasonable.

So if you're in the market for a new digital camera, MP3 player, or other tech product, and you don't want to spend a fortune, here are our 25 affordable recommendations. All of these tech products were rated 3 stars or better by our PC Labs analysts and editors.

The Hercules XPS 2.1 Lounge speakers from Guillemot certainly sound as if they cost more than $50.

Bargain Hunt: iPod Docks

Even with a brand-new iPod, it can often feel like something is missing. Sure, listening to the device with your headphones is fine—even what it was originally intended for—but sometimes you want to rock out like you used to with your stereo or shelf system. The ideal solution is to pick up an iPod dock, which will let you pump up your music without blowing out your eardrums. Here are three good docks whose prices have dipped 15 percent or more.

Editors' Note: All listed prices are current as of the date of publication—and apt to change quickly and often.

JBL On Stage IIIP
Was: $170
Is: $130
Savings: $40 (23.5 percent)
Why You Want It: The JBL On Stage IIIP earns Apple's "Works with iPhone" certification," so it's perfect for iPhoners who want to pump out their tunes. The small, portable device delivers quality audio and includes a remote for full iPod navigation.

Altec Lansing T612
Was: $200
Is: $156
Savings: $44 (22 percent)
Why You Want It: The T612 is another good choice for iPhone users. The audio is well-balanced, and the device allows the user to tweak the treble and bass. Because of its price and capability similarities to the On Stage IIIP, style mavens can choose between the two very different designs.

Logitech Pure-Fi Dream
Was: $200
Is: $161
Savings: $39 (19.5 percent)

Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard Review

Let's face it. Today's keyboard was not intended for computer gaming. Like the typewriter, it is meant for typing and maybe a round of The Oregon Trail. So why are gamers torturing themselves with an average keyboard to blast away zombies and other digital bad guys?

Input devices targeted for gamers such as the G5 mouse or the G15 keyboard are designed to make the mouse and keyboard more practical for gaming. Today we're examining Logitech's first ever gaming keypad: the G13 Gameboard. Gaming keypads are helpful because they allow gamers to keep their existing keyboard (rather than replace with a gaming keyboard), while also enabling lefties the option of keeping the keypad on the right side of the keyboard. Sure beats using those numbered keys.

Striking a strong resemblance to the popular Nostromo SpeedPad N52, the G13 goes beyond additional gaming buttons and a joystick, it also includes an LCD screen that provides helpful gaming and system stats that gamers will find handy.

Out of the box, we're safe to assume that the G13 is the most luxurious of its kind, providing a wrist rest and a contoured design, 25 programmable keys along with a programmable joystick (up to 87 programmable keys with different game modes), plus the 160-by-43 pixel GamePanel LCD readout. Four keys, located in the middle and at the top, have circular grooves that invite WASD gamers. This way in lowlight situations you can feel the buttons and keep your fingers on them. (full Story)
