Adesso WKB-3200 Wireless Multimedia Keyboard: Review


 Adesso WKB-3200 Wireless Multimedia Keyboard

I was recently given the opportunity to review Adesso's new WKB-3200 wireless multimedia keyboard…and good timing I might add, as the one I was using was so old most of the letters had worn off!

The WKB-3200 wireless keyboard features an 800 DPI Optical Trackball, Scroll Wheels, Windows Key, Multimedia Control Keys, Internet Hot Keys and (MCE) Media Center Edition controls all are built in. The MCE controls let you easily (and quickly!) operate most of the multimedia software...perfect for Windows Vista users.

Connecting it to my computer was a breeze too. No annoying drivers to install. I simply took it out of the box, put the batteries in, plugged in the USB receiver and I was good to go. A pleasant surprise. Read more

The Only 3D Web Camera


 The Only 3D Web Camera

We haven't heard from Hammacher Schlemmer in awhile. It must be because they were working on their latest product - what they call The Only 3D Web Camera. Just be sure you don't throw away your 3D glasses from any of this summers' blockbuster movies because you'll need them!

Here is how it works: Its "eyes" are dual cameras that record a stereoscopic image, or anaglyph using the same technology used in 3D movies. The two cameras can capture video at 800 x 600 resolution at 15 frames per second and it can focus in up to 12" away. The 3D video can also be recorded and uploaded to YouTube and Facebook, and the video is compatible with most IM services such as Windows Live Messenger, Skype, AOL Instant Messenger, OoVoo, Videora, Windows Movie Maker, and Stereoscopic Player. The camera also lets you display picture-in-picture videos. If you want to chat in 2D, simply switch to 2D mode. Sets of 3D glasses are included with the camera…but like I said…don't throw away any extras you may have lying around…pass them around to your friends!Read more
