Your Next Mouse : the Cube

Just before the upcoming electronics extravaganza, the Consumer Electronics Show, Logitech dropped a clever little device for hungry eyes. And hands.
While Apple, Google, Blackberry, Microsoft, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Acer and others prepare to duke it out publicly for the slimmest, coolest, shiniest and fastest tablet, Logitech slipped in under our collective radar and quietly introduced today what could be your next mouse.
Called the Cube, this rectangular box comes in black or white, with scrolling surfaces top and bottom to swipe your fingers lovingly along, similar to a smartphone’s glass touch screen, only with small ridges.
The Cube connects wirelessly using a miniscule Logitech Unifying Receiver adapter. Simply remove it from the Cube and plug into a USB port on your laptop or desktop computer.
Lift the Cube from your desk, and it instantly goes into presentation mode - tap on the top to move along a PowerPoint presentation, and flip it over to click to a previous slide.
The Cube’s 2.4 gigahertz radio signal allows you to wirelessly connect up to six compatible devices, including a portable keyboard to move with you while in presentation mode. You can even use a regular wireless mouse with the Cube at your desk. Worried about power on this tiny device? It contains a USB-rechargeable lithium polymer battery which will alert you when it’s running low.
The Cube has a whopping three-year warranty, and will be showing up in stores sometime later this month, setting you back an easy $69.99. Not bad for the chance to be the coolest presenter in your office next time around

Samsung Galaxy M offers up Super AMOLED for less

Samsung's 2011 flagship still tantalizingly out of your wallet's reach? Well, you might be tempted by the latest addition to the Galaxy family that's just gone official in Korea. While the shell appears nigh-on indistinguishable from the previously announced Galaxy R, there are some notable spec differences. The M totes a four-inch Super AMOLED screen, not the Super Clear LCD found on the R, while there's also only a single-core 1GHz processor here, not the dual-core Tegra 2 found on its older brother. The camera has also felt the pinch, shrinking from a five megapixel to a three megapixel offering. The Gingerbread handset measures in at just under 10mm thick, while still packing a TV tuner and a metallic body more similar to the Wave series than the plastic-backed Galaxy family. The M moniker places it in the high-end affordable spectrum, according to Sammy's latest naming strategy, priced at around $500, although there's no news on a release outside of its homeland just yet. The phone will arrive in three confusing color options; Platinum Silver [above], Blue Black and Lavender Pink. See whether the specification trade-off is worth it for a dose of Super AMOLED goodness by inspecting the source below.

Acer and Lenovo Will Make Windows 8 Tablets in 2012

A new year marks a new beginning for many tablet makers after getting kicked around by the Apple iPad in sales all 2011 long. Acer and Lenovo are a couple of manufacturers who will be taking another proverbial 'kick at the cat' (sorry to cat lovers) in 2012 when they build and launch Windows 8 tablets to the market. Seeing as the general consumer markets are saturated by iPads and Android tablets, the word on the street is that Windows 8 tablets and their makers will aim at the business sales model to fuel market share and sales. This is always a win for Microsoft as many businesses are still functioning with Windows Infrastructures. A Windows based tablet would be just the thing to easily plug into an existing Microsoft dominated ecosystem.
With Intel's Clover Trail architecture coming out, and Windows 8 Operating System due in the latter part of 2012, we may see a resurgence in enterprise gadget sales. To add to the talk, Microsoft and Nokia are both rumored to release their own branded slate devices sporting Windows 8 OS.
