Price: ¥2,635 (including tax)
Size: 59 x 99.8 x 39 mm

Elecom is releasing USB link cable “UC-TV3BK”, which will make your life much easier when you transfer data between computers.

When support for Windows XP ends on April 2014, many people might be buying a new PC. Buying a new PC is always exciting but it will be a pain to transfer all the existing data in the current PC to the new one.

Connect a PC with XP and a PC with 7/8 with “UC-TV3BK” and install the dedicated utility program that is built-in to “UC-TV3BK”. Now you are ready for data transfer, so simply drag folders or files saved in XP and drop them in 7/8.

Also, you can control both PCs connected to each other with the mouse and keyboard of one of the PCs. That will help smoother data transfer process.

Price: ¥5,313 (including tax)
OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8
Length of cable: About 1.2m
Interface: USB2.0/1.1

I’m okay with using a microfiber cloth to clean the display on my gadgets and my computer. But if your nose is sensitive enough that it can smell the oil, dirt and whatever substance is left on your screen, watch out for Elecom’s new touchscreen cleaners. Aside from containing germ-killing ethanol and dirt-scrubbing surfactant, they also have various fragrances.

The scented cleaners are sold in either small spray-on bottles or equally tiny wet microfiber cloths. But even if you get the spray-on cleaner, Elecom recommends that you spray them on a piece of clean cloth first then apply the cloth to your gadget’s screen instead of spraying the cleaner on your screen directly. Probably because some of the liquid might find its way inside your gadget.

Elecom will make the cleaners available in Japan starting this month. The tissue will sell for ¥640 (~$6  USD) for a pack of 5 tissues while a 7ml bottle of the liquid cleaner will go for ¥1,323 (~$13). If that sounds too expensive to you, there are lots of guides online about mixing your own screen cleaning solution. Maybe you can add a fragrance to those recipes. Or the scent of a new computer. Or booger bits. Whatever floats your boat.
