Wii on the Move – LCD Screen for Nintendo

by Jay Garrett on April 18, 2008

ChinaVision LCDFed up with having to leave your beloved Wii behind when you go out?

Dry your eyes because ChinaVision have the remedy – no longer will you have to look over your shoulder as you close the door and see your console give you the puppy-dog eyes.

This LCD monitor can attach to the back of the Wii easily, and the screen has a ball and socket hinge that can be turned appropriately for whatever use. When the monitor is not in use, the screen can be folded down against the Wii, just like a laptop.

There is even a reverse/up/down picture control enabling you to mount it on the roof of your car. You can also plug in other devices such as a DVD or other media players with the extra AV outputs, as well as USB peripherals.

As for power, the Wii LCD screen is powered by the normal Wii power cable, or included cigarette lighter adapter.

You can get one for $101.45 each, or get your buddies involved and get 3 for about $97.39 each.

The Fastest Wi-Fi Router?

by Jay Garrett on November 6, 2007

Airbox auto-router

The Airbox CM3 mobile router allows devices like PDAs, laptops, and gaming consoles to be simultaneously connected to the internet in a moving vehicle via Wi-Fi or one of two Ethernet jacks —no additional software or PCMCIA cards required. When connected to a 3G digital cellular telephone network (generally EV-DO), speeds average out at 400-800 Kbps with bursts up to 2.4 Mbps. When no 3G signals are available, the Airbox will switch to 2G and average speeds of 120 Kbps. According to product tests, the wireless range extends up to 300 feet and the connection has proven reliable —even when traveling at 100 mph.

As you might have guessed, the Airbox is powered by a car cigarette lighter, but what is really interesting is the compact size. The weight is comparable to a paperback book, and the dimensions are small enough to place it under a car seat. You can even take it indoors and connect it to a standard electrical socket for home use. Available for a whopping $499 (cellular data plan required.) Buy from WAAV
