New Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse show up in FCC database

Topics: Peripherals , Rumors We’ve been hearing a lot about a new mouse from Apple lately, and earlier today images and additional documentation about a new Apple Wireless Keyboard and Mouse (using Bluetooth) showed up in the FCC database.

There are still few details on the new mouse at this point. The FCC images were quickly pulled from the FCC database, then re-added …

They seem to appeal to the same sort of folks: evangelistic, committed aficionados willing to pay any premium, to be brutally honest about it. Oh, and let’s not forget, they love to talk at length about these objects of their affection at parties. You know who you are. You’ve got a copy of Colorado Cyclist in your bathroom. So it seems like getting the iPhone working for you on the bike would be a no-brainer. And it pretty much is. Here are five apps that I’ve found I like, most centered around …

The little device hooks up to a local storage device via USB and can be connected to a broadband connection via a router. Simply go to a special web site to set up the device and boom! You’ve got access to all the contents of your local drive, right off the Internet. You can even get to them via an iPhone, though the preview functionality isn’t great. You can easily share files, …
