Logitech diNovo Mini: Take Control Of Your PC TV Link

For all those people who like to hook up their PC to the TV set for watching movies or just browsing the Web, Logitech will unveil at CES 2008 a “must-have” product.

Called Logitech diNovo Mini, the new device is in a fact a wireless, plam-sized keyboard, that connects to your PC via Bluetooth technology.

Thanks to an innovative ClickPad, diNovo Mini can be used also as a touch pad to point, scroll and click - or as a directional pad to navigate menus and make selections.

Logitech has come up with the idea, after their research revealed that more than 60 percent of people who have connected their PCs to the television use this setup to browse the Web, view photos and videos from their personal libraries, and watch downloaded shows on their TV.

diNovo Mini features a complete keypad, dedicated hotkeys for media players and the Page Up and Page Down buttons, perfectly fit for easing the Web navigation or zooming through the TV channels.

The keyboard even offers a dedicated button that launches Windows Media Center, as well

as a row of media controls that allow people to adjust volume and easily play, pause, stop, fast forward and rewind.

Because Bluetooth technology provides long-range wireless control from up to 30 feet from the PC, people can type IM messages, enter URLs and search-text queries, as well as navigate Windows Media Center from across the room. The design of the keyboard is very elegant, with a sleek silver-and-black profile.

Also, when in touch-pad mode, the ClickPad is backlighted in orange and the function is switched to media-remote mode, the ClickPad's directional buttons are backlighted in green. The keyboard keys, however, are always backlighted in orange.

Logitech’s gadget is powered by rechargeable Li-ion batteries, which will last up to one mont between the charges. The new PC-to-TV remote can be yours, starting next month, for only $150.
