Logitech Announces diNovo Cordless Desktop
October 20, 2004
Toronto, ON - Logitech will deliver its new diNovo Cordless Desktop solution for Notebook PCs this month.
Designed for desktop use as well as for people on the move, who carry their notebooks with them everywhere they go, whether from city-to-city, office-to-home, or simply room-to-room, the new product, a lower-priced version of the award-winning Logitech diNovo Media Desktop, combines the sleek, low-profile design elements of the original product with the top-selling Logitech Cordless Optical Mouse for Notebooks and a separate cordless numeric pad, the company describes.
The full-size keyboard layout, with full vertical travel distance of standard desktop keys (3.2 mm) ensures easy, non-constrained operation and a familiar feel. Included on the keyboard are three hot keys for Internet, Mail and Search, media controls for audio and video, and enhanced F keys that provide one-touch access to common applications and useful functions.
A separate cordless numeric pad that doubles as a smart calculator, thermometer, and time and date display, fits snugly beside the keyboard, on either the right or left side, providing complete flexibility in arranging a personal workspace. The numeric pad, which features a three-line LCD, also provides basic media control for audio and video. A removable cover protects the pad when it is placed in a briefcase.
The cordless mouse provides 800 DPI resolution and features Logitech's proprietary FastRF transmission technology. With a report rate of 125 reports per seconds, FastRF ensures that the mouse will consistently deliver corded performance without the cord. The mouse communicates with the PC via a compact USB Mini-Receiver that plugs either directly into the PC or, in cases where the USB port is awkward to reach, into a convenient USB desktop stand. To ensure maximum battery life, the mouse features an on/off switch. For easy travel, mouse and Mini-Receiver are easily stowed in an included carrying case.
The Logitech diNovo Cordless Desktop operates on a 27 MHz, dual-channel frequency. It requires Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP and one free USB port. The keyboard, numeric pad and mouse each require two AA batteries.
The product will be available at a suggested retail price of $149.95.
