Buffalo WZR-AG300NH AirStation Wireless-N Infinity Dual Band Router

Now this is where wireless routers are going. Besides its speedy wireless -N connectivity, Buffalo says this AirStation Wireless-N Infinity Dual Band Router is the first to receive the stamp of approval for Windows Vista. You can tell by those serious- looking antennas that this baby is a juggler, handling four wireless standards (802.11b/g/a/n) all at the same time, and even going dual-band for quicker throughput. That veritable alphabet soup (especially that letter "n") lets you grab your data at speeds of 300Mbps, and hey, that's fast enough for some serious HDTV throughput. If you don't like using this WZR-AG300NH as a router, switch it over to bridge mode and then you can use it as an access point. In addition to its wireless feats of strength, it also has a quartet of gigabit Ethernet ports. Buffalo didn't announce pricing, but said the product is designed for the consumer market "and small to medium businesses."

Buffalo LinkTheater Wireless Media Player

Buffalo rolled out an easier-to-set- up version of its LinkTheater Wireless Media Player, and it's not going as far as its higher-end brandmate, the AirStation Wireless-N Infiniti, and staying on more finite ground with the 802.11a and 802.11g standards. In case you're wondering, that's just garden-variety Wi-Fi. Its latest trick is its ability to play well in the sandbox with Intel Viiv PCs, even waking them up when they're asleep, and it's also Dolby Digital approved and certified by the Digital Living Network Alliance. Plus, it can play just about any music, image or video file formats such as MP3, MPEG 1, 2, and 4, Windows Media and even XviD and H.264 among others. Those must all be, of course, in standard definition. There's more: Other than that, this LinkTheater looks a lot like the media players Buffalo has been showing as for the past year or two. It's a rather handsome box, but it also stops a little short in the output category, too, where it spits out composite, S-Video and component, but no dice with HDMI. Pricing and availability date wasn't announced, but this will probably be the value-priced entry in the Buffalo home theater media player line.

Taser C2

Taser introduced the C2, its latest personal protection zapper. It does not work out of the box. Once purchased, you must complete a background check online or using a toll-free number... After that you get an activation code and unique serial number. The C2 also disperses serialized confetti whenever deployed, as with earlier models. Taser also realizes that having your taser match your handbag is important, which is why it comes in colors—Black Pearl, Titanium Silver, Electric Blue, and Metallic Pink for the ladies or more fashionable men. This model is also more novice-friendly, which means that the high-end pro features like dataport management and digital displays are gone. The result is a much lower cost, it starts at $299

DigitalSpectrum MemoryFrame MF-8104: WiFi Digital Pic Frame

The DigitalSpectrum MemoryFrame MF-8104 Premium is a 10.4-inch digital photo frame that can connect to your home network wirelessly via WiFi and is IP addressable. That's right, here it is, a picture frame that can match the feature set of the ill-fated eStarling frame that appeared early last year and then mysteriously vanished. Finally, this could be the digital frame we've been waiting for. It's bigger than any of its competitors at 10.4 inches, displays photos from Flickr and other photo sharing sites, plays audio/video files and a lot more.

Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Watch

Sony Ericsson liked Fossil's idea for a caller ID wristwatch so much that they took the technology and re-designed it as the MBW-100 — adding the ability to control their cellphone's music player from the buttons on the side (play, pause, next track). The functions worked well during the demo, although we didn't get to hear it switch between music and call or anything. The watch is seriously sleek (it comes in silver and jet black), much fancier than the Abacus from Fossil. My only question is about the usefulness of the music player integration on $399 watch. Wouldn't this functionality be more appropriate for a sports style wristwatch?

Sony Reader Pricing and Availability

Because we were scooping the rest of the world on the Sony Reader info, and posting numerous pics of it and its accessories, we couldn't quite release all the information at once earlier today, but now the embargo has lifted and we can tell you that the final pricing on the Sony reader will be $350, and it will be released in October. Plus, you get 50 bucks' worth of free e-books at Sony's iTunes-like store when you sign up. Such a dealio. Take a look at Brian's exclusive report and pics, tells the tale. Sign us up.

Exclusive Zing WiFi Music Player Photos, Smaller than Stiletto

DEMO is a bust for hardware geeks, but we did catch a live Zing music player—you know that one that uses WiFi to download internet radio and Sirius. The nice lady showing it off told me that they weren't announcing anything right now, but gave us a little tour of the player, as well as a chance to see how it stacks up to the Sirius Stiletto, which looked just hulking next to the cute little Zing. Granted, Zing has no Sat receiver, but it did have... a really cool menu system that didn't take you out of your song playback screen. Come to think of it, it reminded me of OS X's dock. And the wheel wasn't touch based, but it seemed to work ok for a not-iPod.

USBCELL: pilhas USB recarregáveis

A tecnologia está ainda a dar os primeiros passos, por isso não sei qual será a verdadeira viabilidade da ideia, mas pilhas recarregáveis através de USB é a melhor ideia desde que inventaram as meias mais curtas para se usar no Verão. A ideia é facílima de explicar, basta levantar a tampa da pilha, ligar a bateria ao slot USB de qualquer computador (ou carregador) e pronto... ao fim de algum tempo está carregadinha e prontinha a (re)usar.

Shiro SK9151 DECT Skype Phone

Speaking of Skype, a Singaporian company named Shiro has announced the SK9151 DECT Skype phone. In case you weren't familiar with DECT, it's the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications frequency, which goes on the 1.8GHz band instead of the 2.4GHz, which interferes with WiFi and Bluetooth. The Skype phone itself works without being connected to your computer, like the Linksys Skype Phone that we reviewed a while back. The Shiro has a base station which charges the phone and and connects to your computer via USB, which then interfaces with the Skype software on your PC. The phone has a 100 number memory and 20 number caller ID. It's also hands free, and lets you walk 50 meters away inside your house—300 if there's no obstructions

Noisy HTPC Fans? CoolIT Silently Does the Job with Liquid

Home theaters are not good places for PCs—the big complaint with home theater PCs (HTPC) has been their noisy cooling fans on their processors and graphics cards. Now CoolIT Systems makes liquid cooling more accessible with its Home Theater PC Cooler, a self-contained system specifically designed to easily drop into a media center PC. The maintenance-free system fits into the space normally reserved for a couple of three-inch cooling fans, replacing them with a radiator and tubes that carry cooling liquid around the CPU and graphics processor. Pricing and availability weren't announced yet, but other CoolIT cooling systems cost around $300 on the street. Expect to see this liquid cooling concept—long a favorite of overclockers everywhere—to become more mainstream soon.
