Kensington Ci70 Keyboard Has USB/Mini USB Ports and Laptop-Styled Keys
We love Kensington's low-profile keyboards with the laptop style keys, which is why this Ci70 keyboard looks so appetizing. It's got two USB ports, nothing special, but a mini USB connector that actually hides underneath a cover on top. So to recap, two USB ports, one mini USB cord, really low/quiet style Kensington keys, 35% smaller than other "standard multimedia keyboards" and a price of $49.99. Works with both PCs and Macs thanks to it having both a Windows key and a Mac Command key. [Kensington]

Stuart Ashen Reviews Vii, the Nintendo Wii Knockoff
Stuart Ashen of Stuart Ashen reviews lousy gadget fame just reviewed the KenSingTon Vii, which has nothing to do with Kensington and nothing to do with the Wii. Intrigued? So are we. Watch as he shows off the Super Nintendo-esque 2D graphics as well as the surprisingly Wii-like 3D graphics. The developer actually did slightly more than a half-assed job on this—it's at least a three-fourths assed job. And if you're still interested in the Vii after watching, Ashen's got a separate review of additional games that come with the console after the jump. More »

From Rumorware to Bandwagonware: Here Come the MacBook Air Accessories
It starts with a case: This week, after one company preemptively announced a sexy MacBook Air sleeve before the Jobsnote, others have followed suit. Not only is there a real Manila folder case in the works, but others, from WaterField to Belkin, are launching their own lineups. Here are Belkin's first hasty MBA-friendly bags. (They're pretty, but almost too pretty. Is Belkin saying that the MacBook Air is for girls?) Like I said, the Bandwagonware starts with cases—easiest to fudge—but soon we think we'll see companies like Belkin, Targus, Kensington, DLO and Griffin popping other goodies, from neon rubber protective skins to any number of competitively priced drives and dongles, just to fit in.

Kensington Introduces sd200v Video USB Dock and Other Notebook Accessories
Kensington's new $139 sd200v is a single hub that can manage your keyboard, mouse, printer and iPod, plus speakers, microphone and even a VGA monitor, all tied to your laptop by a single USB cable. The catch is that the DualView DisplayLink USB video connection is Windows-only, and it's not likely to be high on performance. Still, only having to unplug one cable when you're on the go is a huge boon. More »

Today Kensington introduces several new power products to its Power It lineup, including a new Portable Power Pack for Mobile Devices ($59), Wall Ultra Portable Notebook Adapter ($119), Wall/Auto/Air Ultra Portable Notebook Adapter ($139, with plenty of tips to fit most Windows laptops, but not Apple's proprietary MagSafe connector), and the awesome Auto Power Inverter with USB port for car lighter jacks ($39). Plug anything into your lighter, no other fancy adapter needed, and you're golden: it has auto shut-off so it won't drain your car's battery, and its circuitry will protect your devices from a bad automotive electrical system.

Kensington QuickSeek FM Transmitter
Kensington just announced their newest iPod accessory: the Quickseek FM Transmitter. It's like a Belkin with autoscan. Instead of searching through stations until a clear channel is found, the Quickseek automatically scans for open airwaves, freeing your attention for more important things (like talking on your cell, running over deer, and if you're lucky, crashing into a truckload of manure and then shouting, "McFly!").

Kensington Jumps on Donation Bandwagon with Pink Si750m LE Wireless Mouse.
We told you about the pink Si750m LE, a couple days ago, but I found out a bit more behind the reasoning for the female-designed wireless mouse. This mouse is part of Kensington's Go Red campaign. It is similar to the (RED) campaign picked up by Motorola, Apple, etc., but Go Red supports the American Heart Association because heart disease is the number one killer of women, according to the Kensington rep. I usually ridicule gadgets colored pink to appeal to women, but bravo to Kensington for this mouse and their $150,000 donation to the AHA. Although it is odd that the campaign is called "Go Red," but the mouse is pink. It will be available in February for $49 at Circuit City.

Finally - An ExpressCard Memory Card Reader
Mac owners like to take photos too. But laptop card readers are made for old-fashioned PC Card slots, not the skinny little ExpressCard slots on MacBooks and ever-more PC laptops. So Kensington has come out with what we think is the first ExpressCard reader - which handles seven memory card formats. Avialble at the end of January for $40.

Two Kensington Bluetooth Rodents
Ladies like computers too, but they have special needs - according to Kensington. Most importnatly, their portable input devices must be pink, like the Si 750m LE. It's nearly identical to the crude, beerbelly-lugging Si 750m for the less-fiar sex except for the pinky accent and a modifed grips for ladies' delicate hands.The Si 670m is a new full-size mouse (for men and manly women) with a scroll sheel that also pivots left and right.
