Introduces Range of Products Including New Logitech Keyboard Case, Logitech Wireless Speaker, Logitech Tablet Keyboard, Logitech Tablet Mouse
Today Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) unveiled a line
of iPad and Android-based tablet accessories that enable you to make the
most of your tablet, no matter how or where you use it.
“People love their tablets — the category is growing quickly and is here
to stay,” said Azmat Ali, Logitech senior director for tablet products.
“We’ve created a great lineup of products for tablet users, and it’s
just the beginning. Over the coming months you can expect to see
additional products for iPad® and Android™ tablets that are designed to
help people create, consume and communicate.”
Encompassing products for both iPad and Android-based tablets, the new
lineup from Logitech features a wide range of accessories — from
keyboards to speakers — that help create the perfect environment for
your tablet. Whether you want to use your tablet to catch up with
friends on Facebook®, post quick updates to your blog, or share your
favorite music – Logitech has a product for you.
Highlights of Logitech’s new lineup of tablet accessories include:
Logitech Keyboard Case
Created in collaboration with ZAGG®, the latest Logitech®
Keyboard Case features the same sleek aluminum cover with
military-grade, high-density padding as Logitech’s previously announced
version. The protective case wraps around the iPad 2 to cover the screen
and sides, and the Logitech Keyboard Case uses Bluetooth® connectivity
to pair the keyboard quickly and easily. The new Logitech Keyboard Case
incorporates a more intuitive keyboard layout and improved keystrokes
for even more comfortable typing. It also adds a recess just behind the
keyboard that props up an iPad 2 in portrait or landscape mode,
virtually eliminating setup and packup time.
Logitech Wireless Speaker
When you want to share your favorite music, the Logitech®
Wireless Speaker is a great choice. It eliminates cables and lets
you place your speaker wherever you want — up to 50 feet away from your
iPad or Android tablet depending on use, settings and environmental
conditions. And you’ll get rich, full stereo sound — even from across
the room — with your speaker’s dual two-inch drivers and plenty of bass.
A rechargeable battery powers your speaker for up to 10 hours depending
on your use and settings—so you can take your music with you wherever
you go. And setup couldn’t be easier. Just pair with your tablet using
Bluetooth wireless, and you are ready to listen.
Logitech Tablet Keyboard
The Logitech® Tablet Keyboard, a keyboard-and-stand combo, comes in two
versions, one for
Android-based tablets and a second for
iPads, and is designed to travel easily, set up quickly and add a
touch of convenience to all the places you use your tablet. It pairs
easily with your tablet over Bluetooth wireless, so you can use it on
your desk, lap or anywhere within 30 feet of your tablet, depending on
use, settings and environmental conditions.
Logitech Tablet Mouse
A perfect companion to the Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android, the Logitech®
Tablet Mouse pairs with your Android-based tablet using Bluetooth,
and offers smooth, accurate laser tracking, and side-to-side scrolling.
The Logitech Tablet Mouse is designed specifically to work with tablets
running the recently announced Android™ 3.1 (Honeycomb) platform.
Information about these products and additional accessories for iPad and
Android-based tablets, including speaker docks, headphones, wireless
speakers, keyboards and mice, is available on the tablets
accessories page of Logitech’s website.
