As USB ports, auxiliary jacks, and Bluetooth connections become increasingly standard, many of today's cars are well-equipped for both music and phone calls. If you're like me, however, your aging ride rolls along with little more than a fuzzy radio and a cassette deck. For cars like these, however, integrated music and hands-free calling are not out of reach. Here are three solutions for those wishing to bring a touch of today's tech to yesteryear's wheels... More

Logitech Touch Mouse M600
• $69.99
• Logitech

The humble mouse has seen a resurgence in the last couple of years, thanks for the elimination of visible buttons and scroll wheels. Touch and gestures are where it's at now, and Logitech throws in a stylish option with their Touch Mouse M600.

We hope to follow up soon with a hands-on review, but for now, these are available for pre-order directly from Logitech. More

Got out of my crummy comfortable work-at-home clothes last night to sneak into the nearby Apple store right before closing to pick up a new Apple wireless keyboard. I love these compact models for their quality and small desk-friendly form factor, but like a lot of Apple products, they're priced at a premium (obviously one I'm willing to pay).

You'll also want to check your bank account, because SSD drives are still quite expensive. Seagate is offering an excellent compromise, a hybrid of both traditional and dependable 7200 RPM spindle technology, married with an 8GB flash memory buffer, the best of both two worlds (speed and dependability at a reasonable price).
