Logitech is rumoured to issue a portable Cube mouse only a couple inches in length
It is learned from a report that Logitech issues a portable Cube mouse. It may just look like a fancy, oversized Lego block, but Logitech's Cube mouse is actually pretty nifty. There are plenty of small, portable mice out there but the Cube is definitely one of the smallest we've seen. On display here at CES, Logitech's Cube is only a couple inches in length and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. Unlike traditional mice, the Cube is sized to be used with a couple of fingers rather than your whole hand.
The Cube uses a discreet USB 2.4 GHz radio receiver that can communicate with up to six other compatible devices in just one USB port. One of the more appealing aspects to the Cube is its touch-sensitive interface. Tapping on the front or middle acts as your left and right clicks while sliding your finger along the cube activates its scrolling features.
The Cube is great for anybody looking for a portable, wireless mouse, but we would definitely suggest trying it out before purchasing. Its small size can take some getting used to, and for people who prefer the ergonomics of a traditional mouse, it may be a good idea just to skip this one. Logitech's Cube won't be on sale until later this month for $70, but anyone eager enough to make the jump can preorder theirs from Logitech here.
The Cube is a mouse that's super easy to write off. It looks like Logitech started at square one and stopped there: it's just a box, nothing doing. If you're in the market for a travel mouse, however, you'd be doing yourself a disservice, as the Cube makes a lot of sense once you see it.
This thing is small. Press photos don't give you an appropriate sense of scale, and it's a key part of the Cube's allure up front.
Rather than manipulate it with a hand as you would a full-sized mouse, you really only use your fingers with the Cube. Pressing down on the front of it (and yes, it does have one) counts as a click, press the middle and that's your right click, and you slide your finger along its top to scroll. It uses Logitech's Unifying receiver, a 2.4 GHz radio receiver that can manage the Cube and up to six other compatible devices off one USB port.
It's simple, small and light, and all of a sudden the idea of making it into a little box is rather genius, as it's such a convenient shape that flies in the face of ergonomics, but works so well at your fingertips as that's the point — it doesn't care that you have a whole hand.
The Cube drops later this month for $70. The one thing that's still up in the air is how long the Cube lasts on a charge (charged up via mini USB), as Logitech hasn't made that detail public.
HTC will reduce the number of new products to be released
According to Taiwan media "electronic times reported, according to industry sources, including the HTC, RIM, SONY, MOTOROLA, intelligent mobile phone manufacturer restructured its strategy, will reduce the launch of the new model year mobile phone, to focus on promoting a mobile phone.
Sources said the strategy of change is learning the apple and samsung. The two manufacturers on every year, the promotion a flagship products and successfully expanded itself market share.
For example a mobile phone iPhone, a quarterly sales will be able to reach 30 million department; Samsung Galaxy S II in the release within six months after he sold 10 million department.
Sources, the strategic adjustment not only save manufacturers of development, marketing costs, and still can make the supply chain of large-scale production manufacturer, better control of raw materials and distribution problems.
But the strategy change original design manufacturers (ODM) competition more severe. With intelligent mobile phone manufacturer absorption of the original design reduces, ODM had to keep improving, roll out more competitive products.
Seagate will lay a external drive adapter with Thunderbolt interface out
Intel Thunderbolt interface technology seems to finally going to erupt. CES 2012 exhibitions, Seagate took out two based on the technology of the external drive adapter products, are applicable to GoFlex Desk, GoFlex Satellite, and the measured shows two times more than speed Firewire 800, and do not need the power supply amount.
GoFlex Desk adapter has two Thunderbolt interface can be in the form of chrysanthemum chain connect more hard drive, so as to further expand capacity, improve performance, but most attention can't more than six.
Seagate site USES a 3.5 inch 7200 RPM hard drive the demonstration. The first to use FireWire 800 interface, writing and reading speed is about 83 MB respectively/s, 68 MB/s, then into Thunderbolt, writing and reading speed to 177 MB/s respectively, 176 MB/s, and to promote the 1.1 times and 1.6 times, the effect is remarkable.
The adapter will be in the second quarter before the launch, the price is $189, but will not attached to the Thunderbolt data, users need to buy separate, the price of about $45.
GoFlex Satellite adapter is provides only a Thunderbolt interface, so can't form a Daisy chain. It is the other end of the standard SATA data and power supply interface.
This is expected to listed in February, priced at $99, still don't take data cables.
Another Seagate also show the 4 G LTE wireless mobile storage solution can store more than 300 of hd movies, any Wi-Fi iOS, Android devices can be through the browser on access, stream player. The equipment is 4 G LTE service of from Verizon, you can feel free to download, flow transmit multimedia content, this is also the main selling point.
The equipment is also bring a rechargeable battery, the longest run five hours, but specific time to market, the price is temporary.
RunCore showcases its SSD with single chip
Domestic solid-state storage brand source family (RunCore) and also go to Vegas to the exhibition CES 2012, and brought a very special design scheme: only a chip solid state drive.
Three blue PCB that is the source of the single chip, SSD drive three forms: 2.5 inches, and 1.8 inches SATA SATA, mini mSATA. The whole piece of PCB so a lone chip, and power supply circuit and the firmware ROM, no single master control chip, NAND flash memory chips, DRAM cache chip.
As for the chip the internal structure, the source families did not give, specific flash memory channel number, performance is not public, just said for entry-level market.
Red "R-Drive" will be four single chip solid-state hard disk integration together, sharing a SATA power source, but not yet formed and internal RAID arrays, but foreign become a separate respectively the SATA equipment. The user can in support of the RAID on the main board to use them, also can be in AHCI mode used independently.
