We’ve been pretty envious of the Logitech Solar Wireless Keyboard that has been selling for months now for Windows PCs (though it does work on Macs with key mapping). Amazon reviewers give it overwhelmingly positive feedback on the PC, it is thin and goes for three months without light.
Today, Logitech announced that a Mac version is on the way. As a bonus, it is available in 5 colors including black, white and 3 different admittedly ugly pastels. Interestingly, Logitech is selling it for $20 less than the list price of the $79.99 PC version at $59.99. So much for the Mac Tax?
Besides the pastels, this product looks like a winner. Sign us up.
Additionally, Logitech launched a $50 back mounted iPad speaker earlier this week. It has batteries which last about as long as an iPad and also charges via USB. I’m not immediately sure if I like this idea or more importantly, the implementation but, there it is:

Logitech K750 Wireless Keyboard for Mac review:
Overall a very nice keyboard, until you have a battery failure. Apple-like design and functions very well. Easy to setup and very reliable for the first 1.5 years. Then the battery could not fully charge and life went from months to just a few days. Don’t bother contacting Logitech for a keyboard that IT STILL UNDER WARRANTY. You will be locked in back-and-forth emails with EVERY response taking 3 days and then they will tell you that your receipt is not good enough because you received it as a gift and they do not honor Amazon gift receipts. (all this is done in poor Ching-lish)
I have been a customer of Logitech for years. I have purchased numerous keyboards, mice, trackballs and even one of their bug-ridden MP3 players. Now that they refuse to honor a valid warranty claim, they have lost my business.
