FLIP enables two computers to share one monitor/keyboard/speakers set-up http://www.gizmag.com/go/5422/ March 29, 2006 We often look at Belkin’s product offerings with respect – their product development team often comes up with clever solutions for providing seamless electronics integration between home, car and mobile and the execution has always been sound. Now here’s another ripsnorter! The new Belkin Flip lets you share one monitor, keyboard, and mouse between two computers, allowing business professionals to take home their work laptop and easily plug it into their home setup or a dozen other scenarios. By simply pressing a small remote, you can easily switch from one computer to the other. Flip enables sharing one set of speakers between computers and fully supports any combination of PC and Mac desktop and notebook computers for use in any home or work environment. The US$60 USB Flip will ship in early April. According to a Forrester Research Report in February 2005, approximately 73% of laptop owners owned at least two computers. With two computers, people are seeking methods to keep their desktops free of extra peripherals and cables. They also want a more comfortable way to use their work laptop when they bring it home. Flip solves both problems by giving access to both computers without the added peripheral bulk and by enabling connection of your laptop to your home computer devices easily. By allowing you to connect your old and new home computers, you can easily access files and programs using the same monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Flip also offers the added feature of letting you share one set of speakers between computers. Flip fully supports any combination of PC and Mac desktop and notebook computers for use in any home or work environment.
