News: A Keyboard That Doesn't Exist
IBiz has begun selling its Virtual Laser Keyboard ($100). The 2-ounce device attaches to a PDA via serial cable and connector and projects the image of the keyboard onto a flat surface. The company claims that you enter data by typing on the projected keyboard image. Just make sure the flat surface isn't a Ouija board.
News: Another IPod Recorder
Griffin Technology, which makes ultra-cool IPod accessories, recently announced the ITalk, a microphone/speaker attachment that lets you make audio recordings on Apple's third-generation MP3 players. The ITalk includes a dual-purpose pass-through headphone jack, so you can monitor recordings or listen to music (with a headset) without having to remove the ITalk, the company says. The headphone jack also lets you attach an external microphone, such as the clip-on kind that TV newscasters wear (perfect if you're a budding Dan Rather). ITalk will be available in April for $40.
The ITalk isn't the first recording device for IPods. Read my review of a similar product from Belkin, "Mobile Computing: Digital Voice Recorders."
