Digitz EZMouse makes big splash at CES

OPEN MUIS MET MAN VROUWThe Digitz EZMouse is one of those wireless mice that has figured out how to solve problems of most mice.

The EZMouse has a rechargeable battery with a USB connector that can be taken out and charged via USB port on the computer or some other USB recharging method. There is an LED indicator that lets you know when the mouse is running out of power.

If you run out of power, there is a smaller back-up battery inside the computer mouse. So you can work a few days longer while recharging the regular USB battery.

Not only is this the Digitz EZMouse one of the most efficient mice as far as power is concerned, but it can also be personalized. All that is required is to submit a photo and you can get a myEZcover .

You should be able to get an EZmouse with a myEZcover for about $59.90 here, with free shipping in the USA and Canada.

4-Port Super Switcher from IOGEAR does 2D/3D

GHDSSW4_0 - 1While I was at CES, I got a chance to talk to IOGEAR, who makes a lot of interesting devices. The company is really prepared to shake the world with a 4-Port Super Switcher with Advanced 2D/3D Video Processor (GHDSSW4).

The GHDSSW4 allows for the connection of four HDMI source devices to the HDMI input of a 3D HDTV or 3D-ready HD video projector. It features sophisticated upscaling and video processing to clean up video block noise and MPEG compression artifacts, which means that you will have terrific footage from anything, and more.

The more would be the perfect 3D conversion of flat DVDs, HD videos, and even photos, with “user controls that allow you to adjust the pop-out and depth effects for the optimal three-dimensional experience”.

You should be able to get the IOGEAR 4-Port Super Switcher with Advanced 2D/3D Video Processor in April 2012 for about $229.95. You might be able to find more information here.

ivee Digit and Flex voice-controlled alarm clocks

Digit_frontI think that we all know how much Siri has changed the way we look at voice controlled technology. If it hasn’t, then I can understand that too.

If you are interested in some kind of voice controlled technology for your alarm clock, then you might look into the Digit, ivee’s first implementation of a digital alarm clock with 35 voice-activated commands.

Digit is a 3-inch LCD digital alarm clock that allow the user to voice activate three sleeps sounds, three alarm sounds, a nine-minute snooze, and a timer that comes with a USB AC adapter.

I got a chance to try it out at CES, and it really is as simple as walking up to the unit and saying “hello ivee”. You can then just set the alarm via vocal controls, which really makes things easier. After all, who hasn’t had some doubt when it comes to setting their alarm clock.

You can also get the Digit and the Flex with a 5 inch LED display and more sleep sounds for $59.99. The Digit has a 3-inch display for about $49.99 at this site.
