Epson is one of the biggest printer makers around and when I hear the name I automatically think about expensive ink. I once had a printer from Epson that cost more to fill with ink than I paid for the printer. Epson has unveiled a new printer called the Stylus NX625.

The NX625 is a printer that is aimed at the home user and can print, scan, and copy. The thing can print in black at 15 ppm or in color at 7.2 ppm. It is also capable of printing on two sides of a page automatically at 7.6 ppm in black and 4.6 ppm in color.

The copier can do black and white or color copies up to 99 at a time. The scanner has 2400 dpi resolution for hardware with 48-bit color. The maximum interpolated resolution for the scanner is 9600 x 9600. Other features include a memory card reader, WiFi, and an Ethernet port along with a 2.5-inch LCD for viewing images with no PC.

Of all the notebooks I have tired over the years it’s safe to say that 99.99% of the have crap sound systems. They sound flat, lack volume so you can actually hear what’s going on and have no bass. This is the reason there are some any different external speakers and headphone options around.

Logitech has announced a couple new laptop offerings called the Logitech Laptop Speaker Z305 and the Logitech Wireless Speaker Z515. Both speakers are aimed at notebook users with Mac or Windows machines. The Z515 is a wireless offering with a USB transmitter that uses 2.4GHz tech for 50-foot range. The speaker can also connect to the iPad or iPhone wirelessly as well.

Power for the Z515 comes from a rechargeable battery good for ten hours and it will ship this month for $99.99. The Z305 is a round speaker that uses 360-degree sound tech for all around sound. The thing needs only one USB port for connectivity and power. The USB cable tucks away when not in use and both it and the Z515 come with a carry case. The Z305 will ship this month for $59.99.

Creative has been around for a long time and I first knew them as the company that made sound cards for gaming PCs and other computers. Today Creative has all sorts of gear from MP3 players to speakers and still makes those sound cards too.

Creative has announced a new speaker for outdoor use called the Sound Blaster Wireless Rock. The speaker is one of those outside jobs that looks like a granite stone sitting there. It gets power from a lithium ion battery pack that is removable for charging.

That battery pack is good for six hours of music per charge. The speaker has a 6.5″ woofer and a stationary tweeter. It measures in at 12″ x 11.2″ x 13.8″ and promises a 100-foot wireless range all for $199.99. That price apparently lacks the needed wireless transmitter though, so figure on another $40 or so for that if you don’t have one already.
