WOODBURY, N.Y., July 31, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- DemystifyingDigital.com, the Web site dedicated to helping consumers make sense of today's technology, today announced its Top Five "Back To School" Technology recommendations for the upcoming school year. One key theme sums up this year's recommendations: mobility.
"Let's face it, today's students are more mobile than ever," said Dan Havlik, Editor, DemystifyingDigital.com. "Many of the products we recommend enable students to learn the way that fits their always-on-the-move lifestyles -- as opposed to confining them to learn the way their parents may have. By leveraging a few easy-to-use technologies, today's students have the opportunity to learn wherever and whenever they choose."
Among the items that DemystifyingDigital.com recommends is:
* Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop Computer: By complementing cool colors with high performance, Dell is sure to win over students with its Inspiron 1520 laptop computer. With a bevy of configuration options; colors ranging from blue, red, yellow, brown, green and pink and a price as low as $749, students of all ages will feel stylish while filling their brains with the three-Rs. And what's more motivating than that?
* Canon Pixma MP600: All-in-one printers come in all shapes and sizes but our favorite all-around model is the Canon Pixma MP600. The lightweight MP600 prints, copies, and scans photos and documents, providing the ability to access paper documents where students learn - anywhere. This all-in-one printer costs an affordable $180.
* iRiver Clix Gen 2 MP3 Player: Many students today are securing lectures and homework on teacher-podcasts offered on school Web sites. Beautifully designed with an elegant 2.2-inch touch screen interface, this 4G multi-media player is perfect for sick days, distance learning and supplementing in-school lessons. At a price of $199, this MP3 player is attractive for the eye and the wallet.
* Apple Airport Express Wireless Router: About the size of a deck of cards but able to wirelessly network up to ten people, the Apple Airport Express is a small, wireless wonder. This wireless router is sure to impress friends with a $90 price point.
* Samsung NV3: The Samsung NV3 is a point and shoot camera that multitasks as a personal media player. Students will shoot pictures, view video and review coursework with the same device. With two built in speakers and a price of $230, audio, video and price never sounded so good!
