NEWS: MovieWedge mini bean bag iPhone stand available

Clever design for less than $10

We've seen both ultra-simple and ultra-stylish stands for the iPhone before, but this takes the biscuit as the most flexible - literally - as it's a modified mini bean bag.

"Have you ever tried watching a movie on your iPod touch or iPhone only to realize it's not that fun to hold your device for hours at a time? Did you then try to prop it up against stacks of books or magazines or try to create an improvised stand or holder with limited success?", ask the chaps behind the design.

"So did we. That's why we created the MovieWedge. Hope you find it as useful as we do".

Made of soft microsuede, that can also double as a screen wiper, the squidgy device gets a little lip to hold the gadget in place, but then contours to whatever you've placed it on.

As well as Apple-flavoured products, the teeny beany will also (obviously) work with other mobile phones, other MP3 players and even some of the smaller handheld consoles.

The MovieWedge is available now for $9.95.

NEWS: Logitech Notebook Kit MK605 announced

New kit uses Unifying tech

Logitech has bundled together a few of its peripherals into the Notebook Kit MK605. The kit comprises of a pivoting riser laptop stand and a wireless mouse, keyboard and USB receiver.

The Notebook Kit MK605 is Logitech's first all-in-one solution to feature the recently announced "Unifying" USB receiver technology, that offers an easy way to connect multiple wireless keyboards and mice.

Perhaps obvious, but it's worth noting the elements of the kit can be used separately, so for example, out and about you might choose to take just the mouse, while at home the whole set-up could make for a more comfortable laptopping experience.

The pivoting riser lets users choose from three different angles to bring the screen to the ideal, eye-level height and fits laptops up to 15.6 inches.

The Logitech Notebook Kit MK605 is due to go on sale in both the US and Europe in November for a suggested retail price of $99.99.
