The iPad and Your Living Room

Filed under: Convergence,Home Entertainment,Netbooks — admin @ 3:26 pm

Apple’s latest brainchild, the sleek iPad is flying off the shelves. Conservative estimates put iPad sales at around 2.2 million for the calendar year, while overall tablet sales are expected to top 10.5 million.

If Apple even comes close to these estimates, we can look forward to a changed portable computing market landscape. Combined with the exciting changes in the Audio/Video market, we believe the iPad will play an interesting role,….but no-one seems clear on what that role will be. Here at IOGEAR, we’ve taken out our crystal ball and provided some thoughts on how the iPad will change the world … (cue world dominating laugh).

The Future of USB 3.0

Filed under: KVM,USB — admin @ 10:30 am

Forget 3D TVs and the insanely thin HDTVs flooding your local Best Buy. The latest buzz on the street in the consumer tech world has nothing to do with home entertainment but everything to do with daily technology usage. It’s time for USB 3.0 AKA SuperSpeed USB.

Similar to IOGEAR’s USB 3.0 PCI-E card announcement at CES, many companies are unveiling their USB 3.0 integration. USB technology has always had a breakneck speed of adoption – just as USB 2.0 took over USB 1.0 technology in 2000, USB 3.0 will soon replace USB 2.0 and offer faster ports.

How much faster will USB 3.0 be? Buckle up your seatbelt and try this – TEN times the speed of 2.0 technology!
