Lindy intros Wireless VGA Projector Server


We know, it's never fun to think about spending even more time in the boardroom, but LINDY's looking to make things a bit easier around the office with the Wireless VGA Projector Server. Put simply, the device "enables users to easily network a projector or display monitor," which makes transfers much easier when switching between presenters. Up to 20 users can log in to the machine at one time, and an integrated browser interface "allows control to pass between the users." Notably, the box supports audio and MPEG1/2/4, 802.11g, Ethernet and Windows XP / Vista (sorry, Mac users), and can be thrown on the corporate card now for £299 ($608).

Lindy's Data Dock hot swaps all kinds of junk


Do you ever find yourself staring down at your drive bays, watching as the lazy, single purpose hard drive does its work and think, "Man, I wish I could swap that thing out for a USB hub when it's done spinning."? Well, the clever folks at Lindy have answered your prayers by creating the USB 2.0 Data Dock. The premise is simple: the Dock installs into your standard, 3.5-inch bay and provides two open "slots" which you can use for either a 2.5-inch swappable drive enclosure, a four port USB hub, or a multi-format card reader -- all of which are provided. Additionally, once the modules are swapped out, they can be plugged directly into another system (or the same system) via a typical USB connection. Available now for £49.99 (about $101).

Lindy's Mini NAS enclosure hearts your Mac mini


If you've managed to resist stacking your Mac mini atop, say, six or seven Mac mini-friendly external devices, consider yourself fortunate. If you have, however, it's likely that you'll be ratcheting things up even higher once you see Lindy's Mini NAS, which unsurprisingly fits comfortably beneath your wee Mac and dishes out data over your network. The chassis is compatible with standard 3.5-inch ATA hard drives, sports a built-in FTP server and support for Samba, but only touts a 10 / 100 Ethernet connection. Moreover, users can connect it directly to a computer via USB in a pinch, and while there's no word on this thing arriving on American soil anytime soon, those in England can snag one now for £64.99 ($132).

Lindy's Minicam Pro, a webcam with lights

Lindy Minicam ProIt's no secret that we fancy novelty USB devices here in the Engadget office -- and at best, the Linda Minicam Pro can only be described as novelty. While not the first webcam to feature infrared or sport LEDs -- or even to combine them -- it does win points for having a flexible neck, always a plus. Other than a 350,000-pixel CMOS sensor and optional desk stand, the £21.99 ($43.00) webcam is fairly common-place. For those still looking for a cheap stocking stuffer, though, it is available now.

LINDY releases remote-controlled 3 port HDMI switch

In the grand scheme of things, having too many HDMI devices and not enough HDMI inputs is a problem most of us would love to have, but it's still good to know that there's companies like LINDY out there making dreams come true for the HD-obsessed. The company's new descriptively-named HDMI Switch Remote will give you three extra ports to connect HDMI or DVI sources (with an adapter) to your HDTV or projector, and it'll let you switch between them from the comfort of your couch with its handy remote control. Fully HDMI and HDCP-compliant, the unit should easily handle video up to 1080p and multi-channel audio, as well as resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 if you're using it with a DVI source. You can get one now, in the U.K. at least, for £149 (about $280 US).
