Hi Danny,

I am proud user of the diNovo Desktop:

My Rating: 9 out of 10

+ The design is very cool
+ Keyboard, Media Pad and Mouse are built very solid
+ Bluetooth is HID-compatible, this means that the basic functionality of
the mouse, keyboard and media pad are provided with no logitech drivers on
any bluetooth-capable device that is HID compatible, too.
+ The range of the keyboard is very far, so the media pad can indeed be used
as a remote control
+ Mouse comes with rechargeable batteries

- Logitech Drivers can only be used with the original bluetooth base station
(so all the nifty extra-features cannot be used)
- Only a limited selection of software can be used with the advanced
functionality of the media pad (E-Mail notification, Progress of Media
Playback, Instant Messaging notification)
- Batteries inside the keyboard and mediapad are non-rechargeable
- Mediapad batteries are worn out pretty fast IMHO, (maybe it is because the
display is always showing the clock)


Overall: Although the cost of the diNovo Desktop is rather high, I think it
is worth the price.

HTH
