Hot, New Computer Accessories for College Students

This Week's Update:
by Jamie Forhan

I'm still sorting through the last round of trade shows and manufacturer meetings. There is just an unbelievable number of great new products hitting the market. Here's a sample of what I've found.

IOGEAR has this digital pen. You can use it just like a regular pen, writing with ink on dead trees. However, sensors and a wireless connection take what you are writing and transcribe it straight into your laptop.

Imagine all your class notes being piped into your computer automatically and no need to keep stacks and stacks of paper in your room.

Mobile Edge was doing demos of their Slim-Line Wireless Presenter Plus. Have you ever seen video of Steve Jobs present at MacWorld?

This lets you be as slick as him when you use PowerPoint or something similar. Well, maybe not "slick," but it will enhance your own personal presentation style.

Just the thing to give you an edge in presenting your class work.

Work & play at electronics shows

Ever want your own radio station? Here it is. The Arielle 121 Stream is a wireless digital audio device that lets you broadcast and stream your music in CD quality sound to anyone who also has 121 stream capability.

Plus, it's universally compatible with: iPod, MP3 and pretty much any media player (unless of course, you have a Walkman from around 1980, but that would be your problem, not ours).

If you like your music players smart, then Zune is for you. It starts with a digital media player and adds a twist. You can wirelessly share selected full-length sample tracks, playlists, pictures or your homegrown tracks directly from Zune to Zune. You can listen to the full-length songs that you receive up to three times in three days, flag the ones you like and easily buy them the next time you sync up.

You can discover new music in the Zune Marketplace, and show off your favorite pictures and videos on the big, bright screen. Zune has all that and a built in FM tuner, too. Let your inner DJ run wild.

EzBackup software instantly transforms any drive into an easy to use automatic backup drive. You can use any external drive as your backup drive.

If you've got your own, great. If not, check out our EzBackup-sa or EzBackup-pd USB backup drives.

EzBackup saves an exact copy of your computer's hard drive to your backup drive. Then it automatically backs up whatever individual files you pre-select at whatever time you choose--once a day, twice a week, whatever. Or, if you prefer, you can select and backup a particular file or files manually anytime.

Whether you mistakenly delete a single file or your entire drive crashes, you'll have everything you need to quickly restore or replace what's been lost. EzBackup doesn't overwrite your old backup with a new one. It makes and keeps a new backup copy each time it runs. If something goes wrong, you always have multiple dated copies of your files to choose from when it comes time to restore.
