Saitek Debuts New Digital Media Products

By Digital Trends Staff December 2, 2005

Saitek Industries, a maker of computer related products, earlier this week announced they’d begun shipping their line of Digital Media Entertainment products. The company is touting their new A200 Portable 2.1 Speaker System ($99), A250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System ($129) and A350 Wireless Headphones ($99) as designed to fit the â€œhome entertainmentâ€ style by ditching the plain white look found on many similar products.

The A200 speakers utilizes what Saitek calls an â€œexpanded air volume systemâ€ technology to generate better bass and high range sounds from its quasi triangular shape. This â€œair volume systemâ€ rises up from the A200 as the power button is touched. It produces 2.1 stereo sound and can run for 24 hours on four AAA batteries.

The A250 speakers use new wireless technology which pairs the speakers with a Bluetooth wireless USB dongle which is plugged into a computer. The unit includes a backlit screen and various button controls, can be connected to a portable audio device through a 3.5mm jack and runs for up to 20 hours on four AAA batteries.

The A350 wireless headphones use Bluetooth and an included wireless dongle to give listeners up to 25 feet to roam. They use neodymium in-ear speakers to help with the sound quality, have a behind the head design and sport a rechargeable battery which offers up to eight hours of listening time.

Ice on the moon may be billions of years old, new study shows

If the moon has enough water, and if it’s reasonably convenient to access, future explorers might be able to use it as drinking water or to convert it into hydrogen and oxygen for rocket fuel or oxygen to breathe. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center

An important step toward more long-term manned missions to the moon is locating a source of water. If water is available to future astronauts on the moon, they will be able to stay much longer than if they have to carry a large amount of heavy water with them on their trip from Earth. Recent research has suggested that there could be frozen water in craters near the moon's poles, and there may even be minute amounts of liquid water which travel across the moon's surface. But scientists aren't sure whether this water originates, so it's hard to predict where it could be found.

New images reveal more about the history of water on Mars

Two new sets of images from NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have revealed more about the history of water on Mars. Scientists believe that billions of years ago, Mars had a thick, dense atmosphere that trapped heat and allowed liquid water to exist on the surface. They want to learn more about this period to see if there is any way that liquid water might still exist on the planet today.

Scientists discovered 20 new moons around Saturn, and you can help name them

Saturn Moons

Astronomers using the Subaru telescope in Hawaii have discovered 20 new moons in orbit around Saturn. This brings the planet's total number of moons to 82, making it the planet in our solar system with the most known moons. It has surpassed the previous "moon king," Jupiter, which has 79 known moons.
