Targus Announces New Line of Apple-Compatible Mobile Computing Accessories
Posted Aug 24, 2004 Print Version     Page 1of 1
  

Targus Inc. has announced a suite of products compatible with Apple PowerBook and iBook notebook computers running Mac OS X operating systems. Targus' new products include the Wireless Ultra-Mini Optical Mouse, Mobile 70 Universal AC/DC Adapter, Podium CoolPad, and the Notebook Portable LapDesk.

Targus now offers a mouse specifically for the Apple notebook marketplace. Mimicking the aesthetics of the iBook, the mouse features the familiar white coloring and silver accents. The 800dpi optical resolution provides optimum precision and accuracy while the thumb-sized USB receiver enables precise data transmission. Also included are an on/off switch for effective power management, a three-button scrolling wheel, and a carrying pouch. The mouse is compatible with Macintosh OS X as well as Windows 98, 2000, ME and XP. When used with Macintosh operating systems, the mouse does not require installation of a driver, making it plug-and-play. The Wireless Ultra-Mini Optical Mouse has a suggested retail price of $49.99 and can be purchased at www.targus.com and major retailers, such as Best Buy.

Targus' Mobile 70 Universal AC/DC Adapter powers and charges iBooks and PowerBooks from a standard AC wall outlet, car cigarette lighter or commercial airplane power port. Weighing 8.5 ounces, the compact device offers a three-in-one adapter for Mac users on the road. The Mobile 70 adapter includes two charging tips compatible with most iBooks and PowerBooks, a three-foot AC input cord, a three-foot DC (auto/air) input cord, and a six-foot DC output cord. This accessory can be used in conjunction with the Mobile 70 Adapter to simultaneously charge a cell phone, PDA, or iPod from the same power source while at the same time powering a PowerBook or iBook. Targus' Mobile 70 Universal AC/DC Adapter is available at major retailers, including Best Buy, as well as online with a suggested retail price of the $119.99. Additional charging tips will be available exclusively on the Targus Web site.

The Podium CoolPad increases airflow to improve the cooling efficiency of any notebook computer, including an iBook or PowerBook. While a notebook is on the CoolPad, users can swivel the iBook or PowerBook 360 degrees, and six small rubber pads on the bottom provide a tight grip on most work surfaces. Height on the CoolPad is adjustable for optimal ergonomics, and the unit weighs less than 15 ounces. The Podium CoolPad for Mac is available exclusively at CompUSA or on the Targus Web site with a suggested retail price of $29.99.

The Targus Notebook Portable LapDesk is a folding tray that supports a notebook computer while on a user's lap, plane service tray or other surface that can benefit from added stability and the LapDesk's cooling properties. The suggested retail price of the Notebook Portable LapDesk for Mac is $29.99 and is available exclusively at CompUSA or on the Targus Web site.
