DisplayLink may not have the rampant following you probably thought it would when it was originally introduced, but we'd credit much of the indifference to the inability of most adapters to hit the magical 1080p mark. Up until now, most USB-to-DVI dongles couldn't support resolutions higher than UXGA (1,600 x 1,200), but at long last Logitec has stepped in to provide an alternative that blows right on by 1,920 x 1,080 and stops at QWXGA (2,048 x 1,152). If this here product looks like just the thing you and your spare monitor have been waiting for, feel free to hit the read link and place your pre-order for ¥12,980 ($136). But hey, don't blame us if your graphics card gets envious.

It's part PS2 Slim, part AspireRevo. And according to Logitec, the LAN-W300N/R is the company's thinnest 802.11n router ever. Measuring just 7 millimeters thick at its thinnest and 24 millimeters thin at its thickest, this ultra-glossy wireless router packs a pair of inbuilt antennas, four LAN ports, a WAN socket and an AC input. Beyond that, the device seems relatively unmoving, with a ¥9,100 ($95) price tag and a late August release over in Japan.

We know what you're thinking: Jeebus, not another Bluetooth adapter Engadget, slow news day? But if you check that snark for a moment, you'll notice that this ¥2,280 (about $22) Logitec adapter is a Bluetooth 2.1+EDR + Class 1 device. That means an operating range up to 300 feet and all the goodies that come from 2.1. In other words, easier pairing and up to 5x longer battery life for like-speced Bluetooth keyboards and mice. It also supports 15 different Bluetooth profiles (9 on Macs) including your favorites for stereo audio and handsfree devices. Now that Bluetooth 2.1 is beginning to trickle out into retail, you won't be buying 2.0 gear anymore will you?

There's no shortage of microphones for one's iPod, but Logitec is looking to earn the business of those still on the hunt with its LIC-iREC01. Put simply, this dock connector appendage is said to work on "all generations of iPods" (with dock connectors, obviously), and provides a built-in stereo mic for voice recording on the fly, an additional audio input for connecting something more sophisticated, and a mini-USB port for keeping your PMP synced while this thing is plugged in. At the moment, pricing details are unknown, but those camped out in Japan can look for it to land in their neighborhood later this month.

If you need TV, we mean need it so much that you ache for its lack, then this is the device for you. The Logitec LDT-1S30X4U has a pair of Japanese mobile 1Seg tuners for watching and recording two channels simultaneously on your PC. Daisy chain in another tuner and you've got 4x programs pumping in parallel. Enough to fix that jones if your CPU can take it. Available next month in Japan for ¥16,800 (about $152).

Personal voice recorders simply aren't likely to start up any serious controversy anytime soon, but Logitec's latest spin on taping audio just might raise a few hairs. The LIC-TRA056SD is a "private telephone recorder" that plugs right into your home phone and captures conversations conveniently on the built-in 128MB of storage. If those 50 hours of capacity aren't enough to catch someone red handed, you can also throw in a spare SD card and create an audio archive of every phone call you'll ever make. Additionally, the USB connectivity ensures that extracting dubious MP3 / WAV files won't be a chore, and considering that everything looks to be password protected, the digital eavesdropping crowd will be out of luck. Unfortunately, there's no word just yet on how much this dodgy device will run you, but it should hit the shelves of Japan before the month's end.

The company has announced a whopping six new speaker docks for various Apple players, including the LDS-Xi900BK 2.1 system that utilizes NXT Surface Sound technology and gives users an extra pair of auxiliary inputs and a TV output, and the LDS-Ri500 (pictured above) series that looks more like a tag-along safe than a AC or battery-powered boombox with FM radio capability. Furthermore, the LDS-Si101WH and LDS-Si100WH/BK get downsized in order to handle your nano or 2G Shuffle, and while prices are still up in the air for the half dozen devices, they should all hit the shelves simultaneously come June.

The best part of a Bluetooth headset should be its lack of wires, right? Not so if you're building the buds for Japan's Logitec. The LBT-HS200C2 Bluetooth 1.2 headset brings plenty of tether to your untethered stereo audio experience. At least that blocky slab supports A2DP stereo, AVRCP remote control and the ability to pair up to two devices simultaneously -- say, your Bluetooth-enabled DAP and cellphone. On sale in Japan starting late April for ¥7,800 or right around $65.

The Harmony line for Logitech has continued to please, and based on the reviews of the latest addition to the family, the 1000 is no different. The reviews raved about the performance for the price and we can see why: $499 for a touch screen remote certainly sets it apart from its competitors. Remote Shoppe points out that the Harmony 1000 is also much easier to program than other touch screen remotes and that Photoshop skills are not required to produce a great looking interface, but while the Harmony 1000 is easy to program, it also isn't as customizable as those other touch screen remotes. CNET warns that if you are used to a wand style remote, that the horizontal nature of the Harmony 1000 takes some getting used to. The worst part seems to be battery life, CNET forgot to dock it one night, only to find it was dead the next day when they were ready to use it.

It might look pretty OEM-a-riffic, and Logitec seems pretty branding shy on this thing as well, but all the same we're kind of intrigued by this departure from the usual peripheral fare for Logitec. The new Core 2 Duo LN-14W laptop from Logitec is a BTO number, even down to your choice of six different languages. There's a 14.1-inch 1280 x 800 LCD, ExpressCard slot, dual-layer DVD burner, 40-100GB HDD, and three different colors to choose from. The base configuration will run you 211,000 yen, about $1,736 US, and while Vista doesn't come pre-loaded, the laptop includes a coupon for a free copy of Vista Business for pepping up your OS when January 30th rolls around.

Both feature a 2 mm thick slice of a specialized hardened glass, which supposedly reduces glare and improves contrast, as well as adding an extra layer of protection to prevent damage (though we still wouldn't recommend testing it with a flying Wiimote). The 17-inch model also adds a selectable privacy setting, which apparently reduces the viewing angle of the monitor to prevent passerbys from snooping on what you're doing. Otherwise, the monitors are fairly run-of-the-mill, each boasting a 1280 x 1024 resolution, 300cd/m&sup2; brightness, and a 700:1 contrast ratio, with a 6 ms response time on the 19-inch and 5 ms on the 17-inch. The 17-incher also adds a DVI input, while the larger model just gives you plain old VGA.

We admit, we do get a tad creeped out when a manufacturer dubs a hardcore, tough looking product "precious," but considering how dear the data that's on your Precious LHD-PHAU2 hard drive is likely to be to you, we guess the name fits the bill. This stainless steel clad drive comes in 80GB, 120GB, and 160GB sizes, spins at 5400RPMs, and can reportedly withstand drops from around one meter. Moreover, this darling of a storage device rocks a security switch that automatically encrypts the data and locks out intruders, and can only be re-accessed by logging in through the Logitec Secure Projects software. The firm also claims that this device is light on the power usage, RoHS-compliant, and while it can play nice with both OS X and Windows, the security application will only load on the Wintel side. All three flavors are slated to hit shelves next month, and you get your very own precious for ¥16,485 ($140), ¥25,410 ($216), or ¥33,285 ($282), depending on capacity.

If you've been tempted by Panasonic's new HDC-DX1 AVCHD camcorder seen heading our way, then check this DVD drive from Japan's Logitec (no, not Logitech). The LDR-PMC8U2 is said to be "an industry first" to slot load those 8-cm mini-DVDs used by Panny's 3CCD recorder. It also supports standard format CDs and DVDs with an on-the-go bonus Y-USB cable for drawing power off 2x USB ports when 5V 500mA just ain't enough to support the unit's max read/write data rates: 8x DVD±R/+RW, 5x DVD-RAM, 6x DVD-RW, 4x DVD+R DL/-R DL, 24x CD-R/-RW 24, and 8x DVD-ROM and 24x CD-ROM. It also touts Labelflash support for burning custom motifs or images onto compatible media. All in a slim, portable drive measuring just 17.5-mm (0.69-inches) thick. Hitting Japan at the end of December for ¥22,050 or about $188 should they ever come this way.

Boasting a sleek, silver / black enclosure and a "silent" (read: fanless) design, this dual-port drive comes in 250GB, 320GB, 400GB, 500GB, and 750GB flavors. While an eSATA PCI card isn't bundled in, it's an optional accessory if your PC isn't already prepared for it, and the device also features a file mirroring tool to easily clone your boot drive and a "write protection button" to prevent data entry -- you know, in case you're faced with any Jack Bauer-like situations. Anyways, the LHD-EDSAU2 series can be snapped up in Japan next month for ¥17,800 ($152), ¥22,100 ($188), ¥28,500 ($243), ¥31,700 ($270), and ¥72,200 ($614), running from smallest to most capacious.

While it doesn't feature a fully integrated DAP like its LAT-FM300U cuz, Logitec's new LAT-FM110U does provide a low cost means to both charge and play your MP3 player while scooting about with four on the floor. The unit plugs into your vehicle's lighter socket for power and hosts both stereo-mini and USB jacks to pull the tunes while juicin' the the battery of your favorite portable audio player. Better yet, this new transmitter is said to decrease noise while improving sound over previous Logitec transmitters. Cable hell on the console? You betcha. Kicking out of Japan starting early December for about ¥4,980 or right around $42.

Logitec, the h-free variety, has revealed the existence of a new and delightfully named LAN-WSPH01WH Skype handset with a particularly Sony Ericsson-esque design. The candybar handset is rocking a 1.8-inch screen along with WPA2 capable WiFi: for added convenience, Logitec has also made it so the phone will charge over your computer's USB port. Pricing is at ¥25,100 (which is around $214 US) and according to the official site the phone should be hitting Japanese shores sometime around late September. Judging by Logitec's track record, don't be shocked if this remains Japan-exclusive for a while.

 Japanese manufacturer Logitec (the h-less one) looks to be catering to more style-conscious media junkies with its latest external hard drives, available in two different models coming in 250, 300, 400, and 500GB varieties (all 7,200 RPM). The black model sports what Logitec calls an "i-Dial," which appears to be some sort of security mechanism, while the brushed aluminum one's, well, brushed aluminum -- which appears to be enough for Logitec to charge the same price for both of 'em. Look for them to be available in Japan in mid-September for 21,000, 25,100, 36,800, and 50,900 Yen, respectively (or between $180 and $434). All the drives also feature Logitec's "A.S.C SYSTEM" fanless cooling, although it doesn't look like you can just purchase the enclosure, unfortunately.

The Logitec LBD-A2FU2/WM Blu-ray burner for Macs & PCs has unfortunately been delayed again until mid-August, but they've shown off the box for the external edition and announced it will ship with Roxio's Toast 7 Titanium. All the delays should give you sufficient time to scrape together the $1100 or so dollars you'll need to take one of these home. What we really want to know is if that price includes some playback software, unlike Sony's BWU-100A drive.

Japanese manufacturer Logitec -- who, as we found out the hard way, is in no way related to the American Swiss firm Logitech -- has just announced a colorful set of in-car DAPs that plug directly into your vehicle's lighter socket. What's more, the MP3- and WMA-capable LAT-FM300U includes both a built-in FM transmitter and line-in jack, so you can broadcast directly to your head unit from either the device itself or from an external player like an iPod. And judging by the $68 price tag and lack of storage information, it sounds like you'll probably need to bring along a more capacious device on trips lasting longer than an hour or so, as we doubt you'll be getting more than 512MB of flash memory when these drop in early August.

As you've probably noticed, the Photoshopping skills around here aren't what you'd call top-notch, so we're thinking that maybe attaching Logitec's upcoming USB touchscreen to our monitor might help us give you the realistic product mock-ups and goofy photo-illustrations that you deserve. Coming in 15-inch or 17-inch varieties, respectively, the LTP-15UBK and LTP-17UBK (or LTP-17U, in white) simply attach to your existing LCD with velcro strips, and let you manipulate your pointer with either a finger, a la an ATM machine, or the included pen, as with a graphics tablet. Both models will go on sale in late June for an undisclosed sum of money, but we're not sure if these will even be available outside of Japan, so you may have to put up with our crappy Photoshops for just a little while longer.
