Cool iPhone Keyboard Dock
This new gadget is a great addition to the office if you have an iPhone, allowing you to dock your iPhone into the full sized keyboard and use the Smartphone as an input device alongside the traditional keyboard. It’s called the CompuExpert Wow-Keys full sized keyboard and it will work on both Macs and PCs. In addition you can also get an app for the iPhone allowing you to control your computer with a variety of hotkeys.
Though not revolutionary I think this is a welcome addition that will add convenience for many users, especially for the office oriented techie. What’s more the Wow-Keys also act as a normal dock, allowing you to charge your phone and to connect it to iTunes at the same time. You can even use the keyboard to control the iPhone if you get tired of tapping away at a touch screen all day, I know I sometimes do! It is unfortunate however that the keyboard can’t connect to a computer wirelessly. The product will ship on the 24 May and it costs just under $100.

McTiVia – One Very Cool Gadget
The McTiVia is a nifty new device which allows you to wirelessly stream HD content from your Mac/PC to your HD TV. The device allows you to mirror content on your TV, essentially turning it into a second monitor.
The potential uses are endless, and since there is full audio support you can even watch videos, surf the internet and listen to music! The box connects to your TV using a HDMI cable and to your computer wirelessly. You can even set it up so that you can control your computer/TV all from the comfort of your iPad!
We were so impressed by this technology, that we purchased it for the office. So now our meeting room users can connect their computers to our HDTVs without any fuss!
Deskology DESKSET Made to Match Macs
Apple’s come a long way. Once a company known for their designer-friendly yet boxy, beige and black-and-white desktop computers, they now dominate technology design and set the trends for everyone else in the gadget game. But Apple’s design influence has expanded to the rest of the home office. This set of aluminum desk organizers was designed with Mac users in mind…
Constructed of 3/16″ anodized aluminum with a matte anodized finish, the DESKSET from Deskology should be the perfect set of desktop organizers for the Mac faithful.
It includes a letter-sized paper inbox, a pencil cup, a “doodad” cup and a business card holder. The bottoms are finished with laser-etched cork is used on the underside to reduce sliding and protect your desk from scratches. Although style like this won’t come cheap. The DESKSET retails for $189 (but free shipping!). If you’re so inclined, you can pick one up here at deskology.com.
Diatec’s $50 USB Multi-touch Pad for PC
Just because you don’t own any of the Apple iPhone, iPod touch or MacBooks doesn’t mean you have to miss out all the fun that multi-touch offers. The Diatec SmartTrack Neo USB trackpad straight from Japan can now add this functionality to a desktop PC, and it might arrive just in time for testing on Windows 7 – the first MS’ OS with integrated multi-touch tricks.
The mini-pad measures at 3″ by 1.8″, comes with 2 buttons, and supports pretty much the same gesture controls (e.g. pinch, swipe, two-finger rotation) heavily advertised by Apple. The multi-touch USB pad is also meant to be used with both hands. We also need to remind you this is purely for PC, specifically Windows. So, if you have a PowerMac or Mac Pro, you may need to wait for Apple to release something similar or until someone convinces Diatec Mac support for the pad could be wholeheartedly welcomed by owners of pre-2007 Macs.
