I have the brand new 3rd Generation of EFO USB RF Wireless Keyboard with Laser Pointer for a week. And I have played with it a little bit.

Previously I have tested the USB RF Wireless Keyboard and it was a very quality product and the 3rd Generation of EFO USB RF Wireless Keyboard with Laser Pointer has some extra features.

Complete features list for 3rd Generation of EFO USB RF Wireless Keyboard with Laser Pointer

• 4 in 1: Keyboard, mouse, touchpad and laser pointer 4 in 1.
• QWERTY keyboard has more defined buttons.
• Full Function keys (F1 to F12) and Multi-Media Key (Play, Pause, Next, Previous, Mute, Volume Up, Volume Down).

I like too many things about this new gadget so I will name just a few:

• it integrates a laser pointer which is super useful for presentations
• the keyboard has a little magnet which allows you to put the dongle on the back to keep it safe
• the 600 hours battery life

The tests

I have inserted the RF dongle into an USB port and waited a few minutes for Windows to find the new hardware. After that I’ve started using the 4 in1 keyboard.

All worked fine. The keyboard is intuitive and super easy to use – it will take a while to get used to the new keyboard thou. The touch pad work like any regular laptop/netbook touch pad so you won’t have any accommodation problems. And to use the laser pointer you just have to press one button.

Review

A very useful gadget for the lecturer, meeting presenter, classroom teacher, sales manager or anyone using a projected image.

Simple to use and efficient. I just Love this types of gadgets.

I have a bad and a good news for UK football fans.

Sky Sports customers face a £3 per month subscription increase from tomorrow, with Sky Sports and Sky Movies customers being hit with a £2.50 increase. 

But don’t despair. I’ve got an email from BT Vision saying their customers can watch premier league games from about 75p a game based on the next three months fixtures on BT Vision’s Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports 2 and ESPN, paying £11.99 a month.

BT Vision combines Freeview channels via the aerial with more than 10,000 hours of on demand content delivered via BT Broadband.

Customers can pay-per-view or subscribe to thousands of hours of sport, film, documentaries, drama and kids entertainment, available on demand and all the Freeview channels, all available on the TV.

External HDDs are very hot these days. The reason is simple: they offer a good cost per GB ratio.

In the last years there were 3 main trends:

• the prices per GB went down
• the capacity increased
• the miniaturization made the HDDs smaller and lighter.

Now the prices are great. For a 1tb external hard drive you will pay only £59.99. I remember when I wanted to get an external hard drive (1 TB) not too long ago, the price was around £200.

For extra portability you can opt for an extra portable hard drive. I use an Iomega eGo Portable 320GB Hard Disk Drive 5400rpm USB 2.0 8MB.

Iomega eGo Portable 320 Features

• Iomega eGo Portable Hard Disk Drive
• 320GB Capacity
• Interface: USB 2.0
• 5400 rpm Spindle Speed
• 8MB Cache Buffer
• Rugged: Perfect for travel environments, the ego includes a sleek aluminum enclosure and the Drop Guard feature protects the drive when dropped up to 1.3m (40% above the industry average)
• Secure: Receive a full suite of protection solutions when you purchase USB 2.0 Iomega eGo Hard Drives! Iomega now includes McAfee VirusScan Plus, Iomega QuikProtect, EMC Retrospect Express Backup software, and MozyHome Online Backup service to protect your data and your computer (software available via download)
• Capacity of 1,280,000 photos, 5920 hours of music and 480 hours of video
• Colour: Midnight Blue

It is small and light and it fits in my pocket. When I need extra space I use an western digital 1tb external hard drive.

I have had both the Western Digital and the Iomega eGo Portable hard disk drives for 2 years and both work great.

Cool t shirts are working great with the latest gadgets. So having a t-shirt along with the best gadgets will make you stand out of the crowd.

The Music T shirts are allays a good choice. They are easy to find and it is an interesting feeling to listen to music on your Mp3 player and wear a t shirt with the same artist.

Music items are loved by music fans from all around the world.

Music t-shirts definitely attract attention. And there are so many models to choose from and if you don’t find a t shirt with your fav artist or band you can make a custom one.

I like the The Beatles T shirts. Beatles are one of my favorite bands. I like to listen to their music when driving: it is alert and relaxing in the same time.

A place or city t-shirt is also preferred by many people. Take the Always Sunny in Philadelphia T-shirts as an example. People who love their town – Philadelphia will appreciate a good t-shirt with a clever message regarding their favorite city.

My favorite t-shirt is called: Always Sunny In Philadelphia Paddy’s Black Babydoll. It has a simple but fun message.

It is super hard for small companies to compete with the big ones (big sharks) when it comes to prices and paying for top services.

This is why small companies needs to find reliable and affordable services offered by firms specialized in working with small businesses.

So you must use the communication ways smartly. Phone is probably the best way to keep in touch with your customers because it is personal.

How to choose the perfect virtual phone system 

A good VoIP service must:

• have low monthly fee. You should find VoIP good providers which offers affordable rates.
• the provider must give you portable IP virtual phone systems. If you move from a place to another your business should not suffer – you must take the virtual phones with you.
• provide extra features for long distance calling without charging extra. This is very useful if you use long distance calling often.
• be specialized in small business. It is best to work with a VoIP provider which works with small business because they know how to help you.
