Kensington outs new handful of netbook accessories

It was just a matter of time, really. We've seen desktop accessories, laptop accessories and now netbook accessories. Kensington has today launched five new products aimed specifically at the blossoming market, and while the tiny wired ($14.99) and wireless ($24.99) mice aren't anything spectacular, the Power Adapter for Netbooks ($49.99) clearly shows a pinch of ingenuity. The unit is compatible with a whole slew of netbooks (not surprising given just how similar they all are), and includes a built-in USB port to give you that extra charging socket that you've been secretly longing for. There's also a new security lock ($24.99) and reversible sleeve ($14.99), which ought to join those other pieces we mentioned on store shelves later this month.

Now, Who'll be the first co to make a trailing socket that has USB ports [for charging] on them?

You know how Mr. Kensington feels about that. ...

.... No? That he wants to make one?

Their mices are rarely interesting.
No metter how hard they tried
I barely see people using them.
Either it is from Logi or MS, or it is something very cheap
but rarely a Ken.

I have a few dirt cheap mice, and end up with dirt cheap mice. One stopped working, the other has dyslexic mouse wheel scroll. Like that power supply though. Just needs a right angle connector, or better yet a swivel.

I'm buying that power supply as soon as possible, However, I am a little peeved the power supply runs $50 while the whole netbook ran $300. I've been spoiled by the fantastic deal I got on my netbook. Maybe I'll find the brick on live.com's CB for under $40.

Power adapter with a USB port for charging !

That's what I've always wanted !
( pls take notice other netbook/notebook manufactures )

I have the big brother to that power adapter. It has everything the one here does plus has a port to allow you to conenct your pc to a cars cigarette port so you can use it in the car.

Also comes with a cable to use it in airplanes.
