All-In-One Printers

Do you remember the days when your home office seemed cluttered with equipment? There was the printer, the copier, and the scanner — the last of which seemed to cause endless problems. But thankfully, that time is now ancient history. The new generation of the all-in-one printer combines everything into one unit that can do everything except make your morning coffee (although that may be in the works). These multi-function units not only cut down on space, which is a boon in every house, they’re supremely functional pieces of gear. We present five of our favorites.

Logitech’s New Cordless Desktop LX 700

The keyboard emulates the sleek look and feel of consumer electronics equipment with its media control buttons.

Rhapsody to hit your home stereo

In a significant step forward for the online music market, RealNetworks today announced it is working together with Intel to make it easy for broadband-connected consumers to link their PC and homestereo systems and enjoy the award-winning Rhapsody digital music subscription service throughout their homes. Through these efforts, Rhapsody will soon be the first digital music service to enableconsumers to control and listen to the service in their living room. Consumers will be able to access Rhapsody’s wide-ranging library of more than 30,000 CDs and build a single, vast library of musicthat’s accessible both on their PC and through high-fidelity home stereo and home theater systems.

The new service offering is made possible through Intel’s Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Authoring Tools, which RealNetworks has used to integrate support for UPnP home networking technology into the current version of Rhapsody. As a result, Rhapsody is now capable of communicating with a new generation of digital audio products that enable consumers to access music from their PC via their stereo and home theater systems. These products include the latest version of the Omnifi from Rockford Corporation, which is expected to ship with Rhapsody support beginning November 14, 2003, and a number of devices from other manufacturers that are expected to ship in the coming weeks.
