Logitech Harmony Link
Today Logitech unveiled the Harmony Link, a device that will turn your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad or your android powered device into a Harmony Remote. The device is pretty much an IR blaster that communicates with your iOS or Android powered device via your wireless network and sends the commands from those devices to your television or any other device you may have such as Blu-Ray player, Xbox 360 etc.
I was able to check out the Link a few months ago at a event here in NYC, and it was a pretty cool device, and it worked flawlessly with the iPad and android smartphone I tested it on.

Getting Comfy with Logitech Touch Lapdesk N600
There is a reason we don’t call notebooks “Laptops” anymore, and that reason pretty much has to do with the heat generated by notebooks now a days. You literally can burn something.
While that story is from almost 10 years ago notebooks today generate a lot of heat and might still burn something. Yet we still place it on our laps while we work comfortably in bed, or on the couch while we catch up on episodes of Doogie Howser on HuLu. I’ll be the first to admit my lap does get warm and the notebook either ends up on the end table or coffee table.

I had a chance a few weeks ago to test out the wireless speakers, and they were great. They delivered an amazing sound from the iPad it was connected wireless too. I also had a chance tot est out the Keyboard Stand for the iPad 2. It’s a keyboard that has a rest built into it so you can place your iPad on it. It is a Bluetooth device and can connect pretty much to any tablet with Bluetooth and work. I tried it on my Blackberry Playbook and it worked great.

Logitech Harmony 300 Remote Unveiled
Logitech today unveiled a new remote to their Harmony line which we at HardwareGeeks.com are huge fans of. The Harmony 300 is probably one of the simplest remotes available from Logitech and from what I have heard about the remote one of the easiest to set up. The remote can replace up to four other remotes.
“Most universal remotes have a bad reputation for being hard to program and, as a result, you still use more than one remote to control the devices you own,” said Ashish Arora, vice president and general manager of Logitech’s digital home group. “With the Harmony 300, we wanted to deliver the Harmony remote promise of one remote to control your entertainment system to everyone. No more excuses — it’s time to get rid of the stack of remotes on your coffee table and simplify your home entertainment experience.”
