It seems like summer just started, but fall will be here before you know it. When you send the
kids back to school, it should be with these cool gadgets. And hey, maybe pick something up for
yourself too. You deserve it.

Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard
Tired of your space-hogging keyboard, or carrying one around for your tablet? Try a virtual
keyboard. The Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard projects a virtual keyboard onto any flat surface,
connecting to your device via USB.
DialSpeed Electronic Combination Lock
Locks have come a long way – no more calling for the janitor and bolt cutters when you forget
the combo. Just go online, login, and retrieve your lock’s master combination. You can also set
guest combinations if your friends need locker access.
LiveScribe Smartpen
If your student is still taking notes the old-fashioned way, with a smartpen they can also record
lecture audio as they jot down notes. The notes can be sent to services such as Evernote, and if
the special paper is used, tapping on the notes will replay the corresponding audio.
Lepow Moonstone
Students rely heavily on their electronic devices, and running out of power at an importune time
can have consequences. The Moonstone is a cool-looking portable power supply with two USB
ports, as well as both ordinary and fast-charge modes.
HooverCam Desktop Camera
Keeping in touch with Skype means an
HD Camera, which the HooverCam
Desktop Camera certainly is. But this
versatile little gadget is also a powerful
scanner, with included software to scan
everything from documents to business
cards and receipts.
