Sonos ZonePlayer 90 and 120
(05 August 2008) - Sonos is a company we've been following since they came on the scene a few years ago.

Apple TV v2
(13 February 2008) - Adding a few capabilities that help realize its full potential, the newly-launched version of Apple's computer-to-TV entertainment software is a massive improvement over the original. The biggest plus for aesthetes like us is the 1080p output which means you can stream HD movies, TV shows and podcasts (including featured titles like CHV!) with little more than a click in iTunes (TV and movies will...

Eye-Fi
(16 January 2008) - I was already wowed by the exceedingly simple and totally ingenious Eye-Fi card for its ability to wirelessly send photos to your computer, as well as Flickr and other photo uploading sites. But with the introduction of a feature that directly syncs with iPhoto, a good thing just got better.By installing Eye-Fi software on your computer and using the 2GB card in your camera...

Apple TV
(09 January 2007) - Overshadowed a bit by the iPhone's debut (and though it was already announced last September), Apple TV ($299) is a device that holds its own in the growing shift to (finally) get the internet out of the confines of the PC. For complete coverage including gratuitous photos, check Gizmodo and Engadget. What follows are the standout details. Like the iPhone and .Mac, one of...

Nokia Flagship Store, NYC
(06 September 2006) - Yesterday I had a sneak peek at Nokia's flagship store that will open here in NYC on Saturday (9 September 2006). The store, located just east of 5th Avenue on 57th Street, is the second Nokia store to open here in the US. Aiming to change the experience of learning about and purchasing wireless devices, Nokia's stores are highly experiential and are staffed by...

Griffin BlueTrip Giveway Winners
(01 September 2006) - In our recent post on the Griffin BlueTrip we asked readers to regale us with their most memorable experience of dancing by themselves. There were a lot of great entries, some hilarious, some cringe-worthy. Here are some highlights from our two favorites: "One night, after a heavy coffee/sleeping pill combo, I apparently woke up, and hallucinating, did my best rendition of La Boheme -...

Griffin BlueTrip: Hands-On Review and Giveaway

Foneros
(04 August 2006) - The spanish company Fon, billing itself as the largest WiFi community in the world, is poised to make a dramatic entrance to New York City this month. Their "free WiFi for all who contribute" manifesto found a comrade in technologist and former candidate for NYC Public Advocate Andrew Rasiej, who ran on a free-WiFi-for-all ticket. Having lost that bid, Rasiej is now privately teaming...

First Look: Sonos Digital Music System
(25 March 2005) - Until I had my iPod and Tivo I never knew how much I needed both. Now that I’ve had the opportunity to test out the Sonos Digital Music System, I smack myself in the head and wonder how I ever lived without it. This is one of the coolest gizmos to hit the market in a long time – and it couldn’t be easier...

Creative Wireless Headphones
(07 January 2005) - Yesterday, here at CES, Creative was showing off these prototype wireless headphones. They're a bit bulky, as is the transmitter added to the Zen Micro, but the sound is really good. That's because they use a near field magnetic technology instead of Bluetooth. Peter also has a review over at Engadget. ...

NYX Wearable Displays
(02 November 2004) - I was at a certain wireless trade show last week in San Francisco where there was plenty of decent stuff, but these dudes in animated jackets from NYX were more impressive than the rest (except the Treo 650, of course). The display is quite flexible and is not raised from the surface of the fabric. To show scrolling text or a graphical animation, just...

Sonos Digital Music System
(09 June 2004) - Launching a similar product on the heels of Sonos, however what they've got is so much better. Don't get me wrong, AirPort Express is fabulous and useful and AirTunes is a very smart addition. Two things make Sonos better: the wireless units you put in each room have built in amplifiers (so no need to have an existing stereo system) and the system comes...

AirPort Express and AirTunes
(07 June 2004) - Apple has just announced the AirPort Express pocket size WiFi base station. For the traveller, AirPort Express will free you from the uncomfortable hotel room desk that houses the oh so short ethernet cable. For the rest of us, it will (when used with the AirTunes software) allow music to be broadcast from the Mac to any, or many, home stereo systems. So simple....
