Mimo 720-S USB Monitor Adds Touchscreen Functionality

We’re not sure we agree with introduction two similar products to close to one another from a business standpoint, but from the consumers’ eye, there’s nothing better to really expand your field of options. Nanovision has just unleashed its newest secondary display not even a month after debuting the Mimo 710-S. This one, labeled the 720-S, is practically the same USB monitor as the 710-S, but the standout difference is the touch panel within.

Sony Introduces S Series And E Series Walkman MP3 Players

We haven’t a clue why Sony would choose today to introduce its S Series Walkman–after all, the company’s Reader Daily Edition was also just announced, and it’s undoubtedly the show stopper of the two.

The headset weighs just three ounces and is compatible with pretty much any Bluetooth media player or cellphone

Acer Looks Out For Budget Consumers With Veriton Z280G All-In-One PC

We have to confess–Acer’s latest all-in-one PC certainly looks a lot like another of its machines announced back in April. But we suppose there are enough differences here to warrant a slightly new model name and a marketing approach aimed at business users. The company’s Veriton Z280G is its second Veriton in the past week, though this one actually includes an LCD with the innards that make a PC tick. The AIO machine boasts an 18.5″ widescreen display, an Intel Atom ultra-low-voltage CPU, a fanless design,
