Logitech is updating one of its most popular mouse and keyboard sets, the Wave Cordless Desktop with a slightly touched up Wave wireless keyboard–new paint and a longer, ridiculous three-year battery life–and a whole new mouse, the MX1100, which is a mutant hybrid of the oooold MX1000 and the more recent Revolution mice.
The Vtech IS6110 is the little cordless telephone that could. There is a lot of functionality packed into one tidy little package. It is a fully featured DECT 6.0 cordless phone that includes a full QWERTY keypad and lays claim to being the first cordless phone to deliver instant messaging capabilities. All you do is plug the base station into your PC and you will be able to roam around your house instant messaging to your heart’s content.
