It’s not that I don’t appreciate Logitech’s diNovo Mini keyboard and trackpad. It’s just that I can’t think of a use for this little guy since dismantling my HTPC(s) and projector 2.5 years ago. Back in the day, I settled on a Gyration set – less for mousing through the air, and more for the compact keyboard with decent wireless range. As opposed to Gyration’s RF, this diNovo uses Bluetooth which would have been within my range. It’s also rechargeable… Though, at $150 I expect a cradle (for the end table) rather than just a power cord.
With the increased DVR text entry we’re doing these days searching for shows and downloads (plus entering WPA passphrases), it’d be nice to see someone like TiVo add Bluetooth support for the diNovo. And Vudu already uses Bluetooth… (Given the Xbox 360’s limited movie selection, I haven’t felt the need to pick up Microsoft’s Chatpad – not to mention, I’ve no desire to IM on TV.)
I like this device too, but also have not figured out how I would use it. If i had an HTPC, it is a no brainer.
I think if Tivo supported it, I would be likely to buy it.
