Apple LED Cinema Display
- 27-inch
- glossy widescreen
- cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio
- 2560-by-1440 resolution
- LED backlight technology
- built-in 49-watt speaker system
Leider immer nur noch 3 USB Ports — kein Firewire Hub. Trotzdem sieht mein 30” Apple Cinema HD Display dagegen alt aus. Sniff.
Apple Battery Charger
The Apple Battery Charger sets a new industry standard: It has the lowest standby power usage value — or “vampire draw” — of any similar charger on the market.
Ich weiß, alle werden jetzt wieder wg. dem Preis kotzen. Aber wenn man Nachhaltigkeit ernst nimmt, sollte man nicht in den erstbesten Crap-Auflader aus Fernost benutzen. Außerdem sind die Batterien todschick.
Apple Magic Trackpad
The new Magic Trackpad is the first Multi-Touch trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer. It uses the same Multi-Touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro. And it supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology.
Formal sehr schön gelöst — leider gibt es eine Kante von der sensitiven Fläche zum Aluminum. Das beißt sich mit dem Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Data Robotics Drobo FS
The revolutionary Drobo FS was designed with one purpose in mind: to deliver the best file sharing experience ever. From the moment you plug it in and see it instantly appear on your desktop, you’ll know there’s nothing like it. The all-in-one Drobo FS is perfect any connected home, home office, or small office environment needing a simple, safe device for sharing and backing up files over the network.
Endlich kann man den schnarchlangsamen DroboShare in die Tonne kloppen. Tja, halt zusammen mit dem Drobo, denn der Drobo FS löst beides ab. Engadget hat ein paar weitere interessante Details, wie
- den GigaBit-Ethernet-Port,
- den integrierten BitTorrent Client,
- die UPnP/DLNA Streaming Services
- und die installierbaren Apps, die im Falle von “Oxygen Cloud” sogar den Drobo FS von unterwegs zugänglich machen.
Bestellt.
Gefen Mini-DisplayPort Adapter für HDMI, DVI und DisplayPort
Gefen on Wednesday released a number of new products that will hook up to the newly standardized Mini DisplayPort (MDP) connection found on late-model MacBooks and iMacs. This includes the MDP to HDMI adapter, MDP to DVI adapter, and MDP to DP cable.
Sobald ich eine neuen MacBook Pro mein Eigen nenne, werde ich hier zuschlagen.
Chumby One
Chumby One represents a leaner, faster, cheaper take on the original. Aside from ditching the plush Italian leather and beanbag shape of the original for the clean lines of ABS plastic, the new Chumby benefits from a faster processor (454MHz), a built-in FM radio, a dedicated volume knob, 2GB of microSD memory, and a single USB 2.0 port. They’ve now made it portable, too, with an optional rechargeable lithium ion battery good for an hour of use.
Now for pre-order for US$ 99.95. Lost a lot of his plush charm – wished my classic Chumby would have cost the same.

Gefen DVI to Mini-DisplayPort Converter
The DVI to Mini-DisplayPort Converter enables computers with a single-link digital DVI-D interface to utilize display devices that have the Mini-DisplayPort interface.
Finally a European alternative to the Atlona DVI to Mini DisplayPort Converter AT-DP200. The Gefen EXT-DVI-2-MDP should launch in November 2009 and will be sold for EUR 137.00 plus VAT.
Mightier Mouse with a Touch
Nothing but a rumor for now, but it would be definitely a nice touch to get rid of all the plastic stuff.
Should the new mouse arrive alongside revamped iMacs, it’s also likely to drop the white plastic finish it formerly used to match previous Mac models. Informed speculation would suggest the new hardware could sport an aluminum appearance to fit in with Apple’s current lineup of desktop computers and notebooks, though those familiar with the product have not commented either way.
