Logitech MX Air Mouse review

By Richard Leon | Published: 12:18, 12 September 2008

Used conventionally, the Logitech MX Air is an exceptionally sleek and smooth mouse. But pick it up and wave it around, and it turns into a Wii-style virtual screen pointer.

This takes some getting used to, but it makes the Logitech MX Air Mouse a perfect presentation device, and it has gaming and media applications too.

We love the look and the feel of the Logitech MX Air Mouse, although considering the price it could perhaps have a bit more metal and less plastic.

We aren't quite so keen on the Logitech MX Air Mouse's virtual scrollwheel, which is a touch strip along the top of the mouse equipped with a virtual clicking noise to simulate scrolling. It is slightly erratic in practice, and not as solid as a real wheel.

Daminion Standalone review

Back in the days of traditional film photography, it was easy to see when you had many photos: Shelves full of albums (or shoeboxes bursting with prints) were visible. Today, you could have hundreds of thousands of photos in your collection, and they would take up next to no physical space. Organizing all of those photos, however, is still a massive undertaking. Daminion Standalone is a free application that tries to help you tag and sort your photos in ways that make sense. read more...

Breezi review

Just because Microsoft no longer makes FrontPage doesn't mean people no longer need a visual way to create websites. On the contrary: Breezi (currently in free Beta) joins the ranks of visual website creation tools alongside Wix, Weebly, Jimdo, and many other tools. Breezi may not be completely unique, but it sure has style. read more...
