Notebooks are quickly evolving into  relatively robust media centers.  A growing number of notebooks have an HDMI port for HD video, and Windows Media Center makes it easy to manage media and record TV shows.

But connecting a notebook to a TV is such a pain.  That’s where Zoom Telephonics’ ZDTV wireless keyboard comes in.

Just plug the ZDTV USB dongle into your notebook, install Zoom’s software and connect your notebook to your TV via HDMI, and you can control your notebook from the comfort of your couch.  The ZDTV has a nicely-sized keyboard, trackpad, and quick launch buttons for accessing the start menu, controlling media, and magnifying items.

Sure, you could accomplish pretty much the same thing by connecting your notebook to a wireless keyboard and mouse.  But the ZDTV puts all of this functionality into a lap-friendly keyboard that you can control with a flick of the wrist.
