Wireless HD video is seen as a killer application for WUSB. When Atlona announces its new AT-HDAiR HDTV Wireless Adapter will have HDMI with digital audio, we know we may have a winner. Previously reviewed IOGear Wireless USB AV kit is equally capable of outputting 720p video, yet only through VGA and analog audio. The most ironic aspect of the IOGear is the number of cables involved in making video to stream wirelessly. It even has a discrete audio receiver. In contrast, the Atlona removes several cables, because the video base station is built in with audio components.
The Atlona AT-HDAiR video base station also comes with VGA interface so you could both the analog and digital interface to output identical content on two different displays simultaneously. Audio for the VGA is is handled by a 1/4″ mini stereo jack. Ideally, video playback at 720p is possible in extended mode. We believe in mirror mode the host PC would be bogged down with the decoding and the process of replicating and compressing the HD moving images for the wireless projection. Keep in mind this is a Windows-exclusive solution. Let’s wait and have a see.

Do you a fan of  Hello Kitty?Have you had some Hello Kitty High-tech products?

The only thing weirder than a SolidAlliance flash drive to me is Hello Kitty. Perhaps I don’t have enough estrogen in my system to get the little pink clad kitty, yet she seems to pop up on all sorts of USB gear. The most recent Hello Kitty thingy is this USB powered (and pointless) device that plugs into your USB port and her little wand glows and her wings flap in time to your typing. There are even some sound effects that the device makes and while the sound effects aren’t described one can assume it to be meowing. Since the device requires software there are system requirements and only really girly geeks that run Win XP, ME, 2000 or 98 SE, have 32MB of RAM and 40MB of HDD space can enjoy the feline waste of desk space.
