Belkin is releasing some very useful peripherals for your desktop and laptop right now, and we appreciate it. In addition to the Cooling Stand, they have also just announced the Flip DVI-D. So what does it do? The Flip allows you to plug in all of your other peripherals including DVI-D monitor, two USB devices, speakers, and what looks to be a couple of other audio in/outputs.

At this point, the Flip isn’t doing anything for you other than acting as a hub, but wait, theres more! You then plug the Flip into your desktop and laptop’s USB ports. It now allows you to decide which PC you want to display on your monitor. All of your peripherals are now being used for your laptop and you see it in your screen, oh wait, you remembered that you need your desktop for it’s power for Photoshop. A quick “Flip” and you’re covered! Prices right now are looking to be about $149.99 in February. — Nik Gomez

Today was a big day in the technology world, for CES opened and product releases are rolling out. However, there is also another expo going on right now; Macworld opened today up in San Francisco. While Jobs’ keynote is scheduled for tomorrow at 9 AM Pacific time (be sure to tune in here for all the info), some companies decided to jump the gun a little and release their products today. Belkin was one of these such companies, and they unveiled the next accessory for an iPod. The Bluetooth Dock Adapter is actually a pretty neat, for you can attach your iPod to a wireless adapter, which will allow you to play your songs through a stereo dock. Now there are a lot of stereo docks for iPods, but not many have the capability to control your actual iPod (as opposed to a remote) away from the speakers. Now you don’t have to worry about having to figure out a new remote; you can feel all cozy inside when you get to use that special scroll-wheel you love so much. At $129.99 is a decent price for one of these ever-so-popular iPod docks, and the wireless capability makes it one of the cooler ones out there. — Nick Rice

Belkin has announced that their Cable-Free USB Hub will be released in mid-December. The device employs UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) technology to transmit data from USB devices to your computer. Belkin claims the hub can reach speeds of up to 480MBps at a range of up to 30 feet. The Belkin Cable-Free USB Hub will retail for $200, and will be available in mid-December. Accessing your USB devices over a network would seem to be simpler, especially with the short range of this product, but it’s a good solution if your laptop is your only computer. — Mike Payne
