IOGEAR Wireless USB Audio / Video Kit, more wireless USB eyes-on at CeBIT
While wireless USB hasn't exactly, um, taken off, there's definitely still some promise here. We swung by the USB-IF's booth today at CeBIT in order to have a look at a new single-chip Fujitsu Siemens' solution along with IOGEAR's recently released Wireless USB Audio / Video Kit. The former is mostly a European version of the Wisair Wireless USB Display Adapter Set, and while the latter seemed to work perfectly fine in the demo, the resolution was decidedly not 1080p. Nowhere close, actually. We reckon this stuff will get some real traction if and when two things happen: 1) the industry embraces it and begins embedding it into products (no one likes dongles, sorry!), and 2) when prices fall to reasonable levels. Can we get somebody on that, or what?
Cables To Go intros Trulink Wireless USB to VGA kit
Cables To Go, your one-stop-shop for all things cabled related appears to be aiming squarely for a sector of the market that's decidedly un-cableish... wireless transmission of VGA signals. The company is slated to demonstrate it's new "TruLink Wireless USB to VGA Adapter Kit" at this year's CEDIA, which utilizes UWB technology to toss your UXGA or WSXGA signals up to 30 feet away, and stream 720p over the same distances. Sure, it sounds awfully similar to IOGEAR's... wait for it... "Wireless USB to VGA kit," but hey, the more the merrier, right? No word on price or release date, but we should know more soon.
