Shedding a little eBook light on the subject
Even though Kindle has a backlit screen, some readers want a bit more light. Belkin delivers with an eBook Light. Designed to clip to the top of the screen, the eBook Light has three powerful LED lights that brighten the environment, making it easier to sneak in an extra chapter after hours. Priced at about $25, the eBook Light has an adjustable arm that allows you to position the light at different angles and can be folded up and stashed away when you’re done.
HD camcorder provides an instant show
Your video can become an instant show with Cisco’s Flip SlideHD camcorder. With the camcorder, you can shoot up to four hours of high-definition video and then view it on a slide-up 3-inch widescreen color display. Preloaded with editing software, the camera makes it easy to organize, create and share your video online on social networking sites and via e-mail. Equipped with 16 gigabytes, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and stereo speakers, the camcorder can capture video at 30 frames per second, capture snapshots and store up to 12 hours of video and photos. It costs about $280.
