Rotobot mice: the best use of typewriter keys since the typewriter

Posted by on Monday, 13 June, 2011

These fully-functional wireless Rotobot mice from designer Aaron Ristau will make you look seriously cultivated when people drop by your apartment. In our eyes, that means they officially join the esteemed ranks of typewriter-themed Works of Art, but unfortunately it also means they cost 0 — which might be hard to stomach when you realize that each one is just a non-ergonomically modded Logitech M305. Hey-ho, everybody needs at least one peripheral to be their geeky equivalent to good cutlery. And no, that CSR Elite in the cupboard doesn’t count.

Olivetti launches OliPad tablet, second coming of the typewriter?

Posted by on Sunday, 6 March, 2011
It’s a sign of the times: a company originally known for typewriters, and struggling to find its place in a tech-driven market, turns to manufacturing tablets. This week, Olivetti announced the release of the OliPad, staking its claim to a slice of the slab pie, and repositioning itself on the enterprise PC market. Heralded (at least by Olivetti) as Italy’s first tablet, the OliPad sports a 10-inch screen, 3G, WiFi, and Bluetooth connectivity, NVIDIA Tegra 2, Android 2.2.2, and a 1024 x 600 display. It also features USB and HDMI ports and a 1.3 megapixel camera, but perhaps most telling is the simultaneous launch of the Application Warehouse, “a virtual storehouse of configurable and customizable software applications designed by Olivetti specifically for business and government.” Considering the vast and varied competition, we’d say sticking to what it knows — and Olivetti knows business solutions — is probably a safe bet. Now, if they could just make the thing look as good as the Olivetti Valentine… The OliPad goes on sale this Monday for €399. Full PR after the break.

[Thanks, Riccardo]

You could use a typewriter. No, but I think Atari make a computer that was just a keyboard and a little screen for typing.
