The novelty powers itself itself through its integrated solar panel whenever there's light, even indoors. No batteries or charging cables needed.  The included solar power app (available for download beginning November 15, 2010), a lux meter to help you get the necessary light, makes it easy to get at-a-glance information about battery levels, and even alerts you when you need more power.  According to the press release, Logitech's first solar keyboard can be powered by indoor light and stays charged for at least three months in total darkness. Plus, an integrated power-indicator light eliminates surprises.  At only 1/3-inch thick, the sleek Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard also looks good. With its rounded edges and thin profile, this stylish, streamlined keyboard is a "joy to hold and behold."   The low-profile keyboard features Logitech Incurve keys. Using a concave design, Incurve keys support the shape of your fingertips, while helping guide your fingers to the right keys. In addition, the soft, rounded edges make it easy for your fingers to glide from key to key.  The keyboard offers Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, keeping you connected with virtually no delays or dropouts. Logitech Advanced 2.4 wireless also includes 128-bit AES encryption with the keyboard, one of the highest levels of security available.  Plus, the tiny Logitech Unifying receiver is small enough to stay in your laptop, so there's no need to unplug it when you move around. And you can easily add up to six Logitech Unifying and Unifying-ready mice and keyboards without the hassle of multiple USB receivers. The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 (P/N: 920-002912) is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in November 2010 for a suggested retail price of $79.99 (U.S.).

The new drive features enhanced garbage collection that is OS-independent to extend the life cycle of older client systems. The drive performance has also been increased by 25 percent. In addition, a new 96GB capacity has been added to the family.  As mentioned above, the new Kingston SSDNow V+100 has an enhanced "always-on" garbage collection feature, which cleanses redundant data from the drive to prevent performance degradation and maintains the drive over its life cycle. Since the garbage collection scheme operates independently from the OS, it works with both modern, TRIM-supporting systems such as Windows 7, as well as older legacy OSes such as Windows Vista and XP that do not support TRIM. With a 2.5" form factor, this new series is now available in 64GB, 96GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities. Kingston SSDNow V+100 features and specifications:
