Logitech V220 cordless mouse
Logitech has recently launched the V220 cordless optical mouse for notebooks, bringing notebook users an ergonomically designed mouse complete with soft rubber grips that ensure you have total control of the mouse all the time. As with most modern cordless mice, the receiver of the V220 snaps onto the mouse for easy portability. A single battery offers up to half a year of battery life, ensuring battery changes are few and far between. The V220 boasts a 1,000 DPI high-definition optical sensor that provides ample response for office work, although it won’t fare too well in terms of gaming due to the lack of buttons and ergonomics for extended periods of gaming. The Logitech V220 will be released in the US and Europe this July for $29.99 a pop.

Super Talent is currently waging a war against notebook hard drives in particular, releasing a range of Solid State Disks (SSDs) in the 2.5″ format. While 4GB might sound extremely paltry to you (no doubt it is), Super Talent will be providing such hard drives that come in capacities of up to 128GB. Since it has no moving parts, you can expect your notebook’s battery life to improve, in addition to worrying less about data integrity since there are no hard drive heads to plough into the available platters. The only drawback would be its price - a quick check shows that 16GB models retail somewhere in the region of $480, which means the 128GB model will cost a bomb.
Strange to see Creative release the Zen Stone Plus when the Zen Stone was unveiled just last month. The Zen Stone Plus, as its name suggests, will come with improved functions despite sharing a rather similar form factor. What you get is a blue OLED display, an integrated FM radio, stopwatch functionality, and voice recording capability. In addition, the Zen Stone Plus supports recording your voice over to a music track to create your custom karaoke track. It also retains the drag-and-drop feature that was a huge plus in the original Zen Stone. A 2GB Zen Stone Plus will most likely retail for approximately $70, making it a pretty serious contender to the iPod Shuffle’s dominance. Battery life is rated at 9.5 hours for continuous audio playback, but real world usage is probably less than that.
Samsung’s SGH-D610 has just been given the nod of approval from the FCC, which means this GSM/GPRS handset is very close to being released in the US. What you get in this package includes a 262k color display, a 2 megapixel camera, 80MB of internal memory, and a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes. The Samsung SGH-D610 measures a mere 11.9mm thin, making it a joy to tote around and impress folks. There is no word on pricing or availability, and neither are there any pics floating around due to Samsung’s request for confidentiality.
We saw the Samsung SGH-F210 earlier, so here we are with the SGH-F200. As the model number suggests, it resembles the F210 closely but comes with watered down features, glaringly missing a camera and the 1GB internal memory, where the latter has been replaced with a paltry 5MB. Thankfully, the microSD memory card slot is retained, giving you up to 2GB of music on the go. Supported audio formats include MP3, AAC, AAC+, and WMA. Features include a built-in FM tuner and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. The SGH-F200 measures 89.5mm x 32.6mm x 19.8mm and weighs 76 grams. There is no word on pricing or availability of this GSM handset.
