Wireless

This ‘11B’ product is possibly the solution for anyone trying to let more than one PC access the Internet simultaneously.

Setting up a home wireless network is becoming increasingly popular. NETGEAR offers its RangeMax brand for consideration.

A simple tool to do a simple job, it is small enough to fit on a keyring and yet it will not only do the job it is designed for but another and just for good measure it even acts as a torch.

“And you shall have music throughout the home.” That could well be the clarion call from the three-year old company Sonos.

Not only is Noxon a palindrome but also a device that you may wish to add to your wireless network.

Headsets normally have one main problem you are linked to the computer or phone by them and therefore you are somewhat stuck. There are solutions, here are just two.

This is the first – that I know of anyway – truly portable DAB radio. Small in size runs on 3xAA batteries and also comes with mains adapter.

The world of broadcasting is embracing digital technology. DAB radio is a prime example of this make-over.

Having recently looked at two cordless rodents here are two further offerings, the first for the notebook user, nice and small. The second for those with style, yes it’s a designer mouse this one even has a cord.

Not all mice are created equally otherwise we would be deprived of the luxury of choice.

This is certainly something for that special person in your life. It is a watch but that is rather like saying one of Turners masterpieces is a painting. A watch tells the time, so does this, however there is more ....

Walk away from your PC and it automatically becomes locked, nothing on the screen and no access, return and you are exactly where you were and no passwords to enter.

A graphics tablet used to be expensive and really only the domain of a graphics professional. Wacom have released some smaller and lower specified units, this is the smallest and cheapest yet.

Now much as I love my PDA it does have its irritating moments - like loosing that little pen and having to use the end of a Biro. So imagine my pleasure at being introduced to the new world of the digital pen!

A keyboard and mouse are both vital pieces of kit for any computer user. So why not have them both wireless? However I found that their installation is not all a barrel of laughs.

If you a frustrated PC artist then the Wacom Graphire3 Studio may well be what you are looking for and at a price that will not break the bank.

I have been using the new Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse for two weeks now, it features a side to side scroll wheel as well as the conventional forward and back motion.

WiFi and Broadband... a couple of techno-irritations
