ASUS EeeKeyboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since the miniITX boards came out the fans of game platform emulators like MAME and multimedia centers like MythTV have come up with hundreds of designs for a small multimedia computer with living room appeal. It was all very exciting, but I was always wondering why no company would create such e device and sell it for a reasonable price.
Finally, here is the eeeKeyboard and it is perfect. I love the design, the performance is just good enough and the best thing is the wireless HDMI interface.
I know that it does not have a lot of power when compared to the multi-core >2GHz CPUs that you get in laptops at a similar price today, but this was never the idea. I can connect this keyboard-sized-living-room-friendly computer to my home TV and surf the Internet from the sofa. I can run MAME and play a game and I can also watch video. Of course it is not 1080p and Quicktime runs slow, but my sofa is too far from the TV to notice "low quality" when I play a "low-resolution" movie (and most of the movies I have are "low" resolution).
I love this computer because I have been wanting something like this since the first 533MHz miniITX board (yes, you can play videos even on this type of system).

IOGear Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter GUWA200 (Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Two different Iogear WUSB adapter models and neither worked. Returned both and will not buy anything from Iogear again. I'll stick with Kensington and Logitech. Iogear customer support was terrible on both counts, the product descriptions on their site are lacking and the software/driver downloads were a bear to work with.

Cables Unlimited USB-WIRELESS Dongle Set (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I could not find anywhere in the Amazon description or on the package that these only work with 32 bit Windows Vista and XP.
It is however listed on the manufactures website under "features" as "Windows Vista32/XP32-bit support".
I contacted support and they said it was a limitation of the driver provided by the chip manufacturer and that they were in the final steps of developing a 64 bit Vista driver and promised to add my email address to a notification list. I'll add an update if I ever hear from them but I will probably be returning these because I don't have any more 32 bit Windows systems to use these with.
Note: In one of the other reviews they mentioned that they did not supply the cable from the adapter to the device or hub, this is understandable. The cable needed is the same one you should already have to attach the device/hub to your computer.
[edit] The drivers for 64bit Windows are now available and this product works great. I would change my start rating to a 5 but it wont let me.

Cables To Go 29571 TruLink Wireless USB Device Adapter Kit (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this for an unusual application - I wanted to control a Nikon D700 digital SLR camera from my laptop. I had software (Breeze Systems NK Remote) that could do this via wired USB. Would it work wireless?
Per the instructions, I installed the software driver, then connected the USB transmitter. I powered-up the wireless hub. The software said it didn't see it. And nothing worked with my camera. I wrote tech support, who replied the next day. They suggested plugging in a simple USB device, like a mouse. I tried again, and as soon as I plugged in a mouse, the laptop could "see" the remote hub. I removed the mouse, and tried my camera. It worked perfect. It would appear that smart devices like my Nikon won't switch to USB-mode unless they see a PC attached. But a mouse is USB-only and starts communication as soon as it gets power. So that is the "trick". And once they wireless devices "mate" they work fine from that point on. It doesn't seem to need the "mouse" trick ever again.
Just to be clear about the "wireless" part - The hub is AC-powered, so it has a power cable, and you would need to cable it to whatever device you intend to use (printer, etc.) The Wireless claim refers to the link between the powered hub and the transmitter (powered by the USB port). An ideal application would be to connect a laptop (with the transmitter plugged into a USB port) and a printer (connected via wire to the USB Hub/Receiver). In other words, it is the laptop that is the remote portable device. I don't believe you can swap the positions of the Hub and Transmitter, since the PC software needs to see the transmitter at the USB port. So don't expect to be able to hook the Hub to a PC, and a mouse or keyboard to the transmitter.
In my case, I'm using it for two portable devices - a laptop and a camera. So the camera end requires AC power for the hub, and while it is wireless, it is not portable. I intend to connect the hub to a 4-cell battery pack, using NiMh cells (AA size). Since battery is 1.2 volts, four should net me 4.8 volts. The hub needs 5 volts, so that should be close enough. Once I get it working (or not) I'll try to remember to update this post.
==== UPDATE #1
I was able to get the device to work using battery power. I used a Radio Shack #270-391A battery holder (4 x AA cells), with the leads soldered to a Radio Shack #274-1571 DC Power Plug (Size H Coaxial), with the red wire attached to the center, and the black wire attached to the outer connector. Using w NiMh cells, I got 4.8 volts and it works fine. Now I have to work on packaging it all together so it fits on the hot shoe of my Nikon D700 camera.
It can be challenging to get the wireless link to connect. Even with AC power, it won't link until it sees a USB device attached to the hub. I use a Logitech USB mouse to make the connection, then it seems OK. Once it has "seen" the wireless, I can power down the hub, connect it to the camera, then turn the camera on and the hub on. After 30-to-45 seconds, it connects. But sometimes it won't. So I have to use the mouse, and sometimes get the devices close before they "see" each other. So it is far from perfect, but it can work. But I still keep a USB extension cord in my camera bag. I don't really trust the device just yet. But it work fairly well if you are willing to play with it a bit. There may be issues in my house with radio interference, so others may have better luck. I'll add more updates if I get it to work better.

Cables To Go 29572 TruLink Wireless USB to VGA Adapter Kit (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The good?
This device works excellent in our office for presentations that require no video. Powerpoints, PDFs, and other presentations work as expected from this device. It is simple to use. Simply install the program off the provided disc, plug in the device, and connect. You are good to go.
The bad?
You cannot display video. Seems to be a bandwidth issue. This is holding me back from ordering more of these devices. It would be amazing not to have to deal with VGA cables when none are ran in the walls for our projectors. It also is a bit expensive for what it does.

Imation Wireless Projector Link (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Summary: quality of image is very good, and set-up at presentation-time is easy (*initial* set-up was not, see below). But the connection can be fussy: sometimes, for no apparent reason the connection is dropped (even with only 2 metres between computer and receiver. Occasionally parts of the screen will not update properly. All in all satisfactory, but not great.
Detail: I teach at a university, and use a tablet pc hooked to a digital projector in place of a whiteboard/chalkboard. I bought this product to free me up from cables etc. Thus my needs are not for full-motion video etc, but I do need something *very* reliable (there's nothing worse than making an audience wait while you fuss with technical problems in the middle of presentation). This product is fairly good; good enough not to return, but it could be much better.
My computer's resources exceeds Imation's advertised requirements (Motion M1400 1.1 GHZ, 2 gb ram, all drivers up-to-date)
Initial set-up. The documentation suggests using the Imation software that loads directly from the USB dongle when plugged into your laptop. My heart sank when I first tried that: the image was very jerky and slow-to-update (and the image changes only as a pen writes on the screen on my tablet; I don't even want to *think* what video would be like). The documentation also suggests as another option using some third-party software by "DisplayLink" which is supplied: once that gets going it is *much* better. Getting that going was difficult though: a succession of install attempts led me through lots of freeze-ups/blue-screens etc. I reinstalled drivers and after a few hours got it to work. Not a very friendly user experience.
Use: class-room set-up is easy: just plug in the receiver to the projector and the dongle to the computer. The two find each other without trouble, and after 20 seconds or so, you have your image. It's been said that wireless USB is fussy though, and they're right: sometimes (maybe once out of every three presentations) the connection will be dropped, for no apparent reason. The reciever/transmitter can be within 2 metres each motionless, yet down goes the connection. Fortunately the software re-links automatically, so one has time to smile apologetically, roll your eyes, and 30 seconds or so later, things are back up. I'm not happy with that, but I can tolerate it. Occasionally there are some weird screen artifacts: portions of the image won't update properly.
So minus a point for difficult set-up, and minus a point for frequently dropping connections.

Atlona AT-HDAIR PC to Computer Monitor/HDTV Wireless Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second time I bought this wireless TV adapter. This Atlona one was only $129.95 from Electronics-depot. It is the same gadget as one called Warpia except the plastic case is white. It worked great streaming laptop to TV downstairs so I bought it for my second TV upstairs. The video can be choppy if used with Atom based netbook, but it works flawlessly with the core 2 duo based HP notebook. It uses the processor horsepower for the video driver so the comp. must be strong enough to handle it. As long as it is used with the strong computer the video and audio will stream nicely to the TV. Even high def movies.
