Google TV looks pretty good, if they can turn it into an application for the PC they may have some competition with boxee, WD, apple TV. Although all of the videos I have seen of google tv appear to be renderings so far, no true video of the logitech STB working. This is good. No, strike that. This is […]
Read moreThis looks like a great extender for any HTPC Enthusiast. Question is will it be powerful enough to handle decoding of HD streams? The exterior looks beautiful with the bamboo, not sure it would match many entertainment centers. If all these tablet and smartbook shenanigans haven’t won you over, but you still feel the call of Tegra 2, Pegatron might have […]

We’ve been waiting for what feels like an eternity for wireless HD to really have a place in the world (outside of the elite home cinema world, that is), and while the dream definitely took a hit with theFlyWire’s death, it sounds as if things may be rounding the ever-present corner. Amimon, a company responsible for […]
Read moreLooks like a promising product for someone that wants to stream content from the PC to the TV. Flip Video remote, meet your family. One of Cisco‘s latest FCC filings happened to keep its user manual outside the seal of confidentiality, giving us a pretty good look at FlipShareTV, a setup for streaming recorded video from the computer’s FlipShare software, […]
