The Best Thing About CES (2010)? Great New Products!

CES 2010 awarded the Lexmark Platinum Pro905 color inkjet printer the Innovations in the computer peripherals category. Frankly, any top quality with a $5 black ink cartridge wins us over every time. That's it—an MSRP of only $5, which makes it one of the best choices for SOHO and small office use. Color ink cartridges for this one are $9.95 each, much less than cartridges for competing printers. Pre-order yours at Amazon. D-Link has released the D-Link Touch DIR-865. The Touch works at either 2.4GHz or 5GHz concurrently. It almost maintains multiple data streams which together allow a total throughput of up to 450Mbps as long as its communicating with 802.11N-enabled device. This is a really nice little device and seems to be the new top-of-the-line for D-Link. Too bad it's going to be pricey. We like the equally zippy D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Wireless Router and the dual band version (if you absolutely need dual band) DIR-855 Xtreme N Duo Dual Band Media Router. Navigon's MobileNavigator looks superb. We already love the Navigon 7200T 4.3-Inch Portable GPS because it's got one of the best interfaces on the market. More to come from CES 2010 . . .
