We have once again passed another Thanksgiving. As we slowly come out of our Tryptophan and pie-induced comas, it’s only natural to think, “what better way to work off those extra calories than to shop for some amazing deals”. As the first Monday after Thanksgiving is traditionally known as Cyber Monday, we thought we’d take a closer look at this online shopping day. Specifically, what changes are we seeing this year from year’s past.

Because of the economy slowdown, we have been witness to Black Friday like deals all throughout the year. So will this Black Friday be anything special, or more of the same?

Judging by the resources we are making available in this blog post, the answer is yes! Black Friday will still be a day to catch savings that ordinarily you would not have access to … at least all at once.

It’s no secret that computers are playing an increasingly important role in our family and entertainment rooms. Whether it’s sharing tweets with fellow enthusiasts during an episode of The Biggest Loser or queuing up Hulu to watch reruns of Airwolf, the digital signals of our TVs and PCs are crossing more and more frequently.

From laptops to iPads, Blu-Ray players, gaming consoles and other devices, we surround ourselves with an increasing number of components, cluttering our living and entertainment rooms with cables and black boxes. While some consumers are happy to live with high-tech inspired decor, many others just want the performance without the visible hardware.

Fortunately, one of the greatest innovations in home entertainment over the last five years has made cable and black box clutter obsolete. Wireless HD streaming, once littered with endless buffering, colorful scroll bars and interrupted audio, has made great strides on the back of research and development by companies like IOGEAR.
Of course, not all wireless HD streaming products are created equal, and settling for an untested, low-end solution can result in the same problems mentioned above, or worse. IOGEAR spent countless hours in the lab developing the most reliable solution possible, and the result…Ultra-wideband (a.k.a. Wireless USB or UWB).

This new radio technology can be used at very low energy levels for short-range high-bandwidth communications by using a large portion of the radio spectrum – 3.1GHz ~ 4.8GHz (WiMedia Band Group 1). By using this frequency, our Wireless Audio/Video Kits have a minimum level of interference with other wireless signals such as WiFi, Bluetooth, or cordless phones.

As mentioned, wireless HD streaming is an ideal solution for eliminating cable clutter, but if signal clutter is wreaking havoc and interrupting your wireless HD streaming, there’s really no convenience at all. Our wireless products may not clean up the clutter in your closet, but they can reliable make your entertainment more accessible.

If you could eliminate one cable or wire in your home, which would it be?

This is the case every year, it seems: once Halloween comes to a close, the ads and articles start appearing everywhere in the media, online and on TV, hinting to us that it’s time to start thinking about what to buy our friends and loved ones for the holidays. While we may try to ignore the ads and claim it’s too soon, time tends to fly and getting a head start on shopping for the holidays, or at least thinking about what to buy, should be considered right about now.

Electronics are always on the forefront of the most-wanted gifts on wish lists nationwide, and with that comes the need to be aware of what the latest and greatest technologies are. Electronic House, one of IOGEAR’s most-favored publications, has just rolled out those products they consider to be the hottest commodities this holiday season with their annual holiday gift guide.
