Philips Pronto TSU 9600 with WiFi


The new Philips Pronto TSU 9600 is a universal remote, which can control almost anything from a central location like your home theater system, music libraries, cable TV; it can even do your lighting if you have an automation system installed. It works on WiFi technology and has a 3.7-inch touch-screen (640 x 480 pixels). It is said to be powerful enough to work through walls. Well that is good because you do not have to install separate WiFi routers to work with it. A few people are suspicious about it that it may have side effects living in such a close proximity from a device like this. All of its functions are easily configurable by a PC, which enhances rich user experience.

Pronto is a must own for anyone who ever considered (or actually purchased) theater-style seating for a home screening room, or for anyone who wants to get spoiled by sitting at a place and controlling everything.

Wifi solution by Cradlepoint


If you are a crazy person and want to go wireless in your home even by a Phone, then this gadget is for you. This one is awesome gadget that can take the internet connection from your phone, and turn it into an 802.11b/g network, others can also connect through the same. If you dont want them to steal on your connection, then put the 64/128bit encryption that must be enough for most hackers out there.

The bad thing about is that right now its compatibility is limited to certain Sprint and Verizon products. As they both have very strong 3G networks, but they don't have enough coverage area. But still you need a Verizon or Sprint device to use this gadget, its cost around $179, but no body will regret to have this product.

Battery free mouse


Wireless mice are great. They help get rid of one of the most annoying things in every computer setup: cables. It’s only a small dent in the amount of cords dangling behind your PC, but every little bit certainly helps. Of course, with the good comes the bad. In this case you have to worry about keeping fresh batteries on hand at all times. Sure, rechargeable batteries are great, but what if you could get rid of those too? That’s exactly what A4Tech promises with their new wireless mouse.

The new Battery Free Wireless Mouse and Magic Pad set eliminates the need for batteries in your cordless mouse by transferring power using “electromagnetic induction technology.” A wireless mouse that doesn’t need batteries? Surely it must be too good to be true! Don’t worry, it is.

The mouse itself may not be tethered to your computer, but the special mouse pad is. All of that power has to come from somewhere, so the special Magic Pad connects to an available USB port on your PC. In addition to having a cable, (which completely ruins the point of having a cordless mouse) it also has some sort of giant in-line control box. I’m not really sure what it does, other than obviously taking up more space than is actually necessary. If you’re interested in this strange mouse, you can get one for $22.99

Zipit Wireless Messenger 2


Remember the Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 that we covered back at the end of September, along with a reinforcement of the device earlier this month? Well, it is now available for purchase - and in time for the holiday season, to boot. For those who are still in the dark on what exactly is a Zipit, well it acts as a cure for those who just cannot live without their instant messaging programs (IMs such as AOL, Yahoo and MSN) no matter where they go. Zipit is compatible with virtually all major IM platforms, and best of all is it does not charge any fees, whether monthly, per message or otherwise. You can use the Zipit Z2 to hold multiple, concurrent conversations with friends without missing a beat.

The Zipit Z2 isn’t just limited to keeping in touch with friends and family, as it can be used to keep you entertained during those long commutes to and from work. This is made possible thanks to the built-in music player known as MyTunez, a service that provides instant access to the MP3 files which are stored on a separate miniSD memory card. Alternatively, you can always stream radio from the Internet, although that would probably mean you’d best stick to a place that offers WiFi connectivity all the time. In addition, users can also view their memorable moments via photos and slideshows courtesy of the integrated MyPhotoz feature.

The Z2 is highly customizable - an important feature when it comes to capturing the imagination of the younger market. It boasts the capability of unique backgrounds and themes which can be downloaded from the company’s web site. In addition, users who log on to the site will be able to indulge in several IM-themed games while working on the Zipitpedia - an online dictionary that helps clueless folk keep up to date with the latest 1337 5p34k (in other words, translations for IM lingo). The Zipit Z2 ought to be safe for kids since it features an interactive Parental Portal. In can be purchased for $149.99 a pop.
