Wireless presentation gateway
I like the look of this - a 'b' device that allows a projector to be shared by wireless-equiped notebooks, allowing different people to grab the screen and share their stuff without all the usual plugging and unplugging nonsense. Now this is good practical HCI. As to whether it will work or not, my only experience of wireless screens is the Toshiba one, which acts as a lightweight, portable touchscreen but communicates with the host PC wirelessley (basically, think tablet PC without a processor or memory but with a wireless link back to a base station that has the necessary stuff - well, maybe don't think of it like that, but you get what I mean). This worked fine - slightly slow to respond to touchscreen inputs, but usable - and would be fine for presentations. I have to get one of these. And a projector, I guess, rather than keep borrowing one.....
And I like their wireless media adapter, and wireless web cam too: watch this space for reviews.....
