See It, Touch It, Hear It: Logitech Redefines PC Speakers; Logitech Z-10 Interactive 2.0 Speaker System Has Built-in Media Display, Touch-Sensitive Controls
FREMONT, Calif., Aug 28, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Logitech (SWX:LOGN)(NASDAQ:LOGI) today introduced the Logitech(R) Z-10 Interactive 2.0 Speaker System, the newest member of Logitech's line of Advanced Peripherals, featuring a groundbreaking design that will change how people think about and use PC speakers. With built-in touch-sensitive controls and a backlighted display that shows digital-music track information, a clock, volume and more, these trophy speakers are meant to be touched and seen -- in addition to filling a room with studio-quality sound. "Until now, PC speakers have simply delivered sound," said Jef Holove, Logitech's vice president of product marketing for audio. "The Z-10 speakers aim to incite more of the senses -- sight, touch and sound -- with their media display, touchsensitive controls and premium audio. And beyond that, these speakers are simply stunning, adding a level of design sophistication to their breakthrough digital music capabilities." The past few years have witnessed the explosion of digital music. The use of Internet radio has also spiked noticeably. According to a recent worldwide survey by analyst firm Parks Associates, 40 percent of online households play music files on their PC and 33 percent listen to Internet radio streams. The Z-10 speakers reflect the growing importance of the PC as a hub for digital music, and the accompanying value of superior speakers to complete the experience. The speaker satellites' polished acrylic faces offer clean, minimalist facades accented by the digital display and each speaker's two metal mesh grills. Perfect for use with either a desktop PC or notebook PC, the powerful speakers deliver rich audio without using a separate space-consuming subwoofer. By putting touch-sensitive controls on the face of the Z-10 speakers, Logitech has eliminated the need for people to toggle between applications to control their music on their computer monitor. People can continue to work or surf the Web, or even turn their monitor off and use the integrated speaker controls to adjust volume, treble and bass, and navigate music tracks with play, pause, skip forward and back buttons -- just as they would with a portable music player or a traditional stereo system. Using USB technology and sophisticated software, the speakers can display track information from popular media players, including iTunes(R), Windows Media(R) Player, Winamp, and Musicmatch(R). The digital display also reveals a clock, volume levels and other system information from the PC. The Logitech Z-10 speakers also have four Internet radio preset buttons located on the speakers' touch sensitive panel. When touched, the convenient preset buttons let users quickly save and recall their favorite Internet radio stations and playlists. With integrated 1-inch tweeters and 3-inch woofers on each satellite, the Logitech Z-10 speakers offer a full range of clear, rich audio with amazing bass for their compact size. The built-in amplifier splits the high and low frequencies -- called biamplification -- directing the high-range signals to the tweeters and the low-range signals to the woofers -- an approach that's typically used only in performance home-theater speakers. Taking up minimal space -- each satellite is 9.7-inches tall, 4.5-inches wide and 4.7-inches deep -- the Z-10 speakers make an elegant addition to a desk, tabletop, or any other place where people might use a PC. A single USB cable provides both a digital audio signal and the information for the LCD, making it very easy to set up. The speakers also include a convenient headphone jack that enables private listening, and a 3.5 mm auxiliary input that can connect to MP3 players or other audio devices. Pricing and Availability The Logitech Z-10 Interactive 2.0 Speaker System will be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in September. Its suggested retail price in the U.S. is $149.99. More information about the Z-10 speakers is available at the Advanced Peripherals section of Logitech's Web site, www.logitech.com/advanced.

Logitech Pushes the Edge with Stunning New Keyboard Design
Rechargeable Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard Features Ultra-Slim Design, Integrated TouchDisc, Dynamic Backlighting
FREMONT, Calif., Oct 03, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- It's more than a keyboard -- it's a minimalist work of high-technology art. Today, Logitech (SWX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) unveiled the Logitech(R) diNovo(TM) Edge keyboard, a cutting-edge blend of refined design and breakthrough innovation. Following the design legacy of Logitech's original, award-winning diNovo(TM) Media Desktop(R) (2003), the diNovo Edge reflects the growing importance and visibility of the PC in today's home. Meant to be seen and touched, the comfortable new keyboard, with a high-gloss finish, is laser cut from a single, semitranslucent piece of black Plexiglas(R) and set into a brushed-aluminum frame. Its minimalist style is further evident in the limited number of buttons and the dynamic, backlighted icons embedded within the keyboard, which are invisible when not illuminated. Considering the keyboard's many innovations and advanced technology, this eye-catching design seems impossibly thin at only 3/4-inches (19.05 mm) thick. Breaking new ground in technology, the diNovo Edge is Logitech's first rechargeable keyboard, features an integrated touchsensitive navigation and scroll panel, and includes embedded Bluetooth(R) wireless technology. Its fusion of premium technology and aesthetics adds a sense of prestige to any den or office. It also makes the keyboard a perfect addition to the living room, where an increasing number of people are using their computers. "The diNovo Edge is the most beautiful and elegant keyboard we've ever made," said Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for Logitech's keyboards and desktops. "It elicits an immediate emotional connection the first time you see it -- and that connection only gets stronger when you place your hands upon it. The diNovo Edge delivers a premium experience in every way, from how it looks in the office or living room, to how it feels and performs in the hands of its owner." The Ultimate Computing Experience The diNovo Edge is the newest member of Logitech's premier family of Advanced Peripherals. It's designed to perfectly complement the equally stunning and powerful Logitech(R) MX(TM) Revolution Cordless Laser Mouse. To further create the best-of-the-best computer system, people can add the Logitech(R) Z-10 2.0 Interactive Speaker System, which matches the diNovo Edge with a soft-orange liquid-crystal media display and a pristine glossy black surface. Minimalist, Refined Design Logitech's first-generation diNovo keyboard design, introduced in 2003, reflected the growing minimalist tastes among consumers -- with sharp angles and an ultra-slim profile that complemented flat-panel monitors. The new diNovo Edge keyboard takes the approach even further by reducing the number of seams and buttons on the keyboard, offering touchsensitive technology and controls that are flush with the keyboard surface, and using dynamic soft-orange backlighting behind the single Plexiglas panel. The semi-translucent surface enables the dynamic backlighting of icons embedded within the keyboard, which are invisible without illumination. Pressing the function key illuminates icons for secondary F-key functions, including media controls and application-launch keys. After the function key is released, the icons above the F-keys disappear and the keyboard's top panel returns to its pristine black state. The keyboard rests completely flat, with a low profile, on a desk or coffee table, or on a lap. Several studies have shown that lower-profile keyboards reduce wrist extension and thereby reduce the risk of hand and forearm discomfort. Premium Navigation Experience The navigation features of the diNovo Edge keyboard are carefully designed to deliver premium performance, whether with a
PC in the office or in the living room -- using Windows(R) XP, Windows(R) XP Media Center Edition, or the upcoming Windows Vista(TM) operating system. For example, the keyboard has a special start key that launches the Vista start menu, and an Fkey search button provides one-touch access to Vista's search feature. The keyboard includes the first-of-its-kind touch-sensitive TouchDisc(TM), which enables people to scroll and navigate a graphical user interface without having to reach for a mouse -- perfect for leaning back from the desk, for making a small adjustment when working at the desk, or for using a media PC in the living room. Moving a finger up and down or across the disc moves the cursor on the computer screen, and moving the finger in a circular motion around the perimeter of the TouchDisc enables people to scroll horizontally and vertically through documents. Located above the TouchDisc, the keyboard's touch-sensitive volume slider makes it easy to quickly adjust the computer's volume. And on the left-hand side of the keyboard, three zoom buttons -- zoom in, zoom out, and 100 percent view -- enable people to navigate and edit digital photos with ease. A pointer button, used with the TouchDisc, enables two-hand navigation. The Ultimate Typing Experience With the diNovo Edge, each keystroke feels fluid and stable with Logitech's PerfectStroke(TM) key system, featuring precision micro-scissor mechanisms that distribute force evenly across key surfaces. On many keyboards, when pressure is applied to a key's edge, the key sticks and requires more force to engage. On the diNovo Edge, whether one pushes the center of the key or one of the key's edges, the keystroke feels the same. Logitech also has carefully calibrated the tension and travel required for keystrokes, optimizing each specification to deliver the best performance. Advanced Wireless Technology With Bluetooth(R) wireless technology, the diNovo Edge can connect directly, without the included USB micro-receiver, to PCs that have built-in Bluetooth technology. For computers without built-in Bluetooth technology, people need only plug in the micro-receiver to a USB port to connect the keyboard to the PC; the keyboard and receiver are pre-paired during manufacturing so that they automatically connect when plugged in. Bluetooth wireless technology provides the keyboard with a longer range (up to 10 meters, or 33 feet) than for many cordless keyboards -- important for use in the living room. Stylish Recharging Stand The rechargeable diNovo Edge comes with a stylish stand that serves as both a recharging station and a display base; when inserted in the stand, the keyboard rests perpendicular to the desk, showing off its slim design and freeing up valuable desk space. A two-hour charge yields up to two months of battery life. Pricing and Availability The Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning in November. Its suggested retail price is $199.99 in the U.S. More information about the keyboard is available in the Advanced Peripherals section of Logitech's Web site, www.logitech.com/advanced.
