Logitech Rools Out Tiny VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse July 23, 2007
READ MORE Gadgets , Peripherals
Logitech just rolled out its VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse, especially designed for notebooks. Its most remarkable feature is its improbably small USB receiver, a tiniest yet conceived. How small is it? Insert the receiver into a USB port, and all you can see is a tiny nub sticking out. We're just wondering how they ever crammed all that 2.4GHz circuitry inside. Neat. And how fast is that scroll wheel, anyway? See the video and another pic after the jump.

Buffalo 56GB Solid State Portable Drive July 23, 2007
READ MORE Storage
Buffalo is taking the gloves off the solid state market, releasing a portable drive (just 57x89x14mm) that's up to a very palatable 56GB in size. Resistant to shock and ready to tumble, Buffalo's newest iteration puts solid state into slap fight range of smaller portable drives. Of course, at $828 the pleasure will run you almost $15 per gigabyte. So at this point, it's Rambo tech only, yuppies. You kick it on Wall Street not the street. -Mark Wilson [buffalo via akihabara]

High-end audio maker KEF is joining Arcam in the rush to grab a slice of the burgeoning market for quality iPod docks.
The PicoForte 1, which will retail for £250 when it launches next month, is a compact dock flanked by a pair of the excellent the KEF 1001 speakers. The 6in speakers are powered by 25W amps which will no doubt fill most rooms with plenty of volume and crystal clear audio.
There’s a slinky credit-card remote control and you can hook it up to an external subwoofer if you really want to drive the neighbours potty.
The design is clean and modern, and the PicoForte 1 will ship in white or glossy black.
It’s certainly a tempting proposition if the retro-iPod looks are not to your liking. A PicoForte 3 system is also coming with bigger speakers and will cost around £400. See it after the jump.-Martin Lynch

Just after Nintendo took the wraps off its Star-Trek-themed Wii Zapper gun appendage for the Wii console, another firm has nipped in early with its own offering.
Owing more to the Wild West choice of weapon, this long-barrelled add-on is the Wii Blaster and it does look sweet indeed. With a price $16.58 [£8+] is also a few quid cheaper than the forthcoming Zapper. According to the marketing info you get:
Comfortable single banded trigger grip or combines with dual handed barrel grip
Lock & load
Ergonomically balanced and weighted Blaster control system
Complete-range motion detection for Wii Remote
Maintains natural Wii innovation motion
Made with hard plastics of high quality
So, phaser rifle or Winchester?-Martin Lynch
