Logitech diNovo Mini
We have a new product to review from Logitech, maker of desktop peripherals
since being founded in 1981 in Switzerland.
Computers are moving into every facet of our lives including the living
room. It’s expected that 12 million of
these media center computers will exist by 2010 according to an Analysis and
Forecast done by Parks Associates.
This time around we’re reviewing the Logitech diVono Mini, a palm-sized
keyboard, mouse and media remote control designed for use with an Entertainment
Center PC. So if you’ve ever connected a
PC to your TV you may be interested in this product.
Overview:
Let me tell you this product is exactly what I’ve been looking for and I was
excited to get the chance to review it.
I’ve had a PC connected to a flat panel TV for a while now and have been looking
to replace the media remote that came with the PC.
(see GMC Noblesse Review ).
The DiNovo Mini is perfect. It
allows me to browse the internet, watch TV and video, listen to music, check
email, etc. all from the couch. Don’t try
to play Call of Duty 4 with it, but everything else works.
