Hands on: Belkin Flip for Mac mini



Belkin has ahuge booth here at Macworld (and I'll post an Engadget style booth tour later).%uFFFD I asked Burk Murray, director ofBelkin product management, what I should look at since I am way too important to just wander around with the rest ofthe Macworld attendees and he said, without hesitation, 'The Flip for Macmini,' which is a fancy pants KVM switcher designed for the Mac mini.

Laurie has been covering the Flip for awhile, and she will be writing up a review of it shortly, butlet me tell you I was impre ed with this thing. It has touch se itive butto on the front that let you acce features like CD ejecting, volume, and switching video/audio. Thanks to some software you can also switch just thevideo, so if you are working on your Mac mini listening to some tunes and you want to use the Windows box that you havehooked up to the Flip you can do so without having to mi out on the song.
