Logitech VX Revolution Mouse

I'm starting to like this whole featuring products that I own. Don't worry, I'll still post the ones that I like, but I think that writing about one that I have is a good way to build credibility... which I hope that you think I have!! Today's product is the Logitech VX Revolution.

The Logitech VX Revolution is a great wireless laser mouse. It works with a wireless receiver that is powered by USB. The mouse itself is powered by a single AA battery, so that saves a lot on batteries. It's got excellent response and is ergonomically shaped, guaranteeing you a great experience when you use it. Here are some other features of the Logitech VX Revolution provided by Amazon:

  • MicroGear Precision scroll wheel allows you to fly through documents at quick speeds
  • One-touch search in your favorite search engine
  • Document flip feature lets you jump from open application to open application without touching the keyboard
  • Precise laser tracking
  • Runs on a single AA battery
The Logitech VX Revolution has always served me well... in fact, I'm using it right now, which means that it works on Macs too! It is a bargain over at Amazon for $54.98, a savings of $25. It also has free shipping. Of course it is available in my AStore!

Get your hands on this mouse right away! It's another tool that will make your life much simpler!

Bose Quietcomfort 2 Headphones

Today's item is a little pricey, but its one that I own and I think it's great. You can see them over there on the left, the Bose® QuietComfort® 2 headphones. These babies are comfortable, thats for sure. And they sound incredible too. That's not quite detailed enough for here (even though it should be).

When do I use these headphones? I use them almost every day. Whenever I watch a movie on the laptop (on which I am blogging), and when I listen to music while I blog. They were made for use on airplanes, and let me tell you, they work great for that. When you turn them on, the drone of the engine practically disappears, and you can listen to your music, watch the movie, or sleep in peace. Turning them on brings you into your own little sanctuary.

My only gripe about them is that they can't be used unless they are turned on. They are extremely comfortable and should please audiophiles. Here is a list of features and technical details for the Bose® QuietComfort® 2 headphones:

  • Offers unmatched combination of noise reduction technology, audio performance and comfortable fit
  • Patented Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphone technology fades background distractions
  • Now with enhanced audio performance and styling
  • Lightweight and comfortable; convenient fold-flat design
The Bose® QuietComfort® 2 headphones are a great investment for people who are truly into sound and willing to put some money into it. They are sold for $299 on Amazon. The over the ear version, the QuietComfort 3, is $349. Of course, both sets are available in my Astore!

Elgato EyeTV Hybrid

Have you ever been looking for a solution that will let you watch TV on your Mac? How about playing video games on your Mac? Well, this featured product will allow you to do just that, and more. It's the EyeTV Hybrid, made by Elgato!

There are so many features built into the EyeTV Hybrid. You can watch over the air digital TV, and get analog and digital TV from a cable connection. You can record HOURS of TV onto your computer using the award winning EyeTV software, and edit out unwanted content, like commercials :-). These clips and shows can be exported to your iPod for easy viewing. But that's just some of the features available to this product. Here's some more stuff, from the Amazon Website:

  • Watch analog as well as free over-the-air digital TV on your Mac.
  • Browse EyeTV menus in Full Screen mode.
  • Record hours of your favorite TV shows directly on your hard drive and edit out unwanted content.
  • Find TV shows using the built-in program guide (USA only).
  • Export clips and entire episodes to your video-capable iPod.
  • Connect game consoles and enjoy virtually no latency game play.
I've always wanted to hook up a system to my computer, and the EyeTV Hybrid will allow me to do just that. Having that and picking up a nice HDTV antenna, and I can have all the great things made for TV on my Mac! I'm sure that these would look great on my Apple Cinema Display. And, as an added bonus, if you've got one of the higher end Mac systems (like I hope to soon), you can watch TV in 720p or 1080i! They are not the best around, but it's really close to that! And it's on your computer, so you won't need a TV!

Another great thing about this is that it's so small, the size of a USB stick. That means it's unobtrusive and won't clutter up your desk!

Here's a great review from over at Amazon, apparently its better than sliced bread:

I cannot rave enough about the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid! I use it with my iMac and a very inexpensive table-top HD antenna (Philips MANT510) to watch, record, and convert (to iPod and iPhone) my favorite OTA HDTV (in crystal clear, beautiful HD!) and basic cable shows. I get better picture quality from this setup than I do with HD cable and my HDTV! It saves me money (no need to pay for TV shows from iTMS), and it is so easy to use! I highly recommend this product to anyone (especially college students or others who live in tight spaces where having a TV and a computer poses problems)! Not only that, you don't need to buy an HDTV if you already have an iMac! You can even hook up an HD set-top cable box to the Hybrid (I know their web site says you can't, but I have done it - the picture isn't actually HD for that particular setup, but you still get the content, which would still be helpful for those with an iMac but not enough money for an HDTV)! You can also edit commercials out with the EyeTV 2 software. It's great! Seriously, save your money, forget TiVo and iTMS, and get this! You'll never regret it!

The EyeTV Hybrid sells for $137.99 on Amazon. A great deal to start receiving free HD programming onto your Mac! Of course, it is also on sale at my Astore!

Aliph Jawbone Bluetooh Headset

Today's featured product is the Aliph JawboneBluetooth Headset. This is another product that I would like but do not own. The wired headset that I am currently using is just getting in the way too much. I sit on it, constantly have to untangle it, and it's just annoying sometimes.

So what is it about the Aliph Jawbone that makes it so appealing? First off is the incredible design of the product. It just looks amazing. Designed by Yves Behar, it currently comes in three colors (all available in my A Store!). The silver or black are the ones that I would recommend. It is extremely lightweight, at a paltry 1 oz! It also can be worn on either ear, and comes with several ear loops to accomodate this.

Second is the technology. The Aliph Jawbone features noise cancelling technology to deliver the clearest sound in a Bluetooth headset. This technology, developed for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) adjusts as the conditions around you change, making sure that you have the clearest possible sound on both ends of the call. The Aliph Jawbonealso detects when you are speaking, so it knows when to enhance your voice, and also automatically enhances the incoming voice on the call.

The Aliph Jawbone is one of CNET's highest rated bluetooth headsets, and has received nothing but rave reviews. I will be picking one up very soon, and I am sure that I will be pleased with it. Go out and get yours today!

The Aliph Jawbone runs between $85 and $120 on Amazon. It's a bit pricey, but I think its definitely worth it!
