Now these mice probably won’t appeal to the older business crowd (imagine whipping one of these out at a meeting) but instead maybe to the more adventurous demographic (read: young).

Anyways, what you see above are Logitech’s new V220 notebook mice which are essentially the same thing as your run of the mill RF USB dongle touting Logitech notebook mice with fancy paintjobs.

You’ll be able to pick up one of these for around $30 from your favorite electronics retailer in any color you like as they are available today.

As we speak I happen to be have something in between my hot hot laptop and my lap. And it’s not a Logitech Comfort Lapdesk but I wish it was. The new laptop holder is white and it comes with a sinewy coccyx for your knees. Not only is it comfortable but it will surely divert that heat from your body. The Lapdesk is the perfect solution if you happen to prefer working on the couch or bed instead of that regular, boring desk. Logitech’s new Comfort Lapdesk costs just $40 and you could have it for Christmas.

Well I don’t know if Mac users want to change any of their current keyboards. But just in case they do, Logitech has a new keyboard solution for them: the Logitech diNovo Edge. The keyboard is just 0.87 inch thick and it has the same features of the original diNovo: the PerfectStroke key system, Plexiglas and the aluminum palm rest. It will connect to your Mac wirelessly and the battery will last about three years of intense usage.

In addition to the Harmony 510 remote, Logitech has released a new microphone named Cordless Vantage Microphone, which is compatible with PlayStation2 and PlayStation3.

Priced at $30 and full of promises of being a great microphone, the Vantage has 20 hours of battery life which seems enough to play plenty of games on the gaming consoles. Due to the 2.4GHZ wireless USB receiver that is suppose to have an easy setup process, you can use the mic by being 30 feet away from the PS, and the sound will have a high quality.

A good 2-in-1 combination used in this system is that the receiver is able to hold the microphone when not being used, which saves space.

So what do you need next? How about some PlayStation games that require a microphone as a tool? That would be convenient…

There are already lots of mobile speaker systems, but one more won’t hurt, especially from the likes of Logitech. Solely aimed at Bluetooth-enabled cell phones, the Pure-Fi Mobile Speaker system works within the range of 33 feet and can be used with the A2DP profile available on most music-oriented phones. A2DP support also means that the system can double as a speakerphone, courtesy of two integrated microphones of which one is used to pick your voice up and the other is for noise cancellation. All this is made much more easier with the controls onboard for answering/ending calls, virtually eliminating the need for you to have your mobile by side. As for music, the Pure-Fi is equipped with 2-inch high-excursion drivers and 2-inch pressure drivers x2 to provide a smooth treble and articulate bass for any song that you fancy blasting out.

The Logitech Pure-Fi Mobile Speaker system is expected to land stateside in June with an approximate price tag of $149.99.

The Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse is a low profile, narrow design that uses glossy black plastic and shiny chrome trim on the bottom. The mouse matches pretty well with the Logitech DiNovo Edge keyboard, but would match better if Logitech had used brushed silver rather than shiny silver.

Logitech used Freespace technology to take hand motions when you are holding the mouse and transform them into commands for your media. The instruction manual gives no hints as to how the Freespace is supposed to operate other than saying a flick of the wrist changes your song and moving left and right controls the volume.

The user’s guide was rather surprising in that it didn’t offer much in the way of details for using the Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse. The Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse lacks a real scroll wheel and uses a touch sensitive scrolling area.

Power for the Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse is via a built-in Li-ion battery and the wireless connection uses 2.4 GHz technology and has a range of 30 feet.

Logitech includes a charging base that is small and takes up little room. The power adapter is large though and will probably block adjacent outlets on your surge strip. Logitech also includes the familiar black polish cloth they have begun shipping with their high-end products. The cloth is a nice touch because the shiny materials used on the Logitech MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse smudge easily.
