Adesso rolls out WKB-4200UB wireless keyboard
Adesso sure isn't lacking for keyboards of all shapes and sizes (seriously, look at its website), but the company has nonetheless somehow found room for yet one more with its new KB-4200USB model, which packs boasts both a built-in trackpad and wireless connectivity. Thankfully, the trackpad (non-multitouch, it seems) on this one is a bit less awkwardly placed than on the last model, and the design is more along the lines of something like the diNovo Edge (not exactly a bad thing). Of course, this one also packs a similarly higher-end price tag -- $120, to be exact.
Adesso's AKB-440 keyboard gets integrated trackpad
Look, we're not going to say that the famed keyboard-mouse tandem is going anywhere soon, but we will say that there are certainly occasions where having to use a separate critter is a real pain. For those times when having mousing abilities right on the keyboard just seem more "right," there's the Adesso AKB-440. Aimed directly at HTPC users and the like, this rather vanilla looking keyboard spruces things up with a GlidePoint-enabled pad that puts your standalone mouse out of work. If your imagination is running wild with how this thing could revolutionize your life (or at least improve the feasibility of a living room PC), feel free to snag one now for $59.99.[Via HotHardware]
Adesso rolls out compact WKB-4000UB wireless keyboard
Looking for a wireless keyboard that's compact but not too compact? Then you might want to consider Adesso's new WKB-4000UB model, which packs some seemingly full-size scissor-switch keys and a (non-multitouch) trackpad into an 11.75 x 8.25-inch package that weighs just over a pound. You'll also get the usual 2.4GHz wireless connectivity for a range up to 30 feet, an included USB receiver that can be attached to the back of the keyboard with a magnet, a low battery indicator, and various power saving features to help those AAA batteries last a bit longer. You'll have to decide for yourself if that's worth the $109.99 list price though.
Adesso CyberTablet M17: the monitor / tablet for Macs and PCs
Can't wait anymore for Apple to launch a Mac in tablet format right? Well cast your glassy-eyed gaze in the direction of this Adesso CyberTablet, a 17-inch monitor which Adesso claims doubles as a tablet for your Mac or PC. The electromagenetic tablet features a 13.3 x 10.7-inch "active area" with 1280 x 1024 resolution said to "work great" with all your Adobe CS2 faves such as PhotoShop and Illustrator. The bundled software also brings handwriting recognition and more to pen emails and markup Office documents. So how does it work? No idea, so why not give 'er a go for a mere $1699. You didn't really need that fully spec'd $1,299 MacBook anyway. Now someone get Michael Caine on the horn -- we found his hand. [Via CrunchGear]
