Linksys came in today to demo their newLinksys: WMA11B - Wireless-B Media Adapter
It was pretty impressive and genuinely useful. While it wasn't all singing and dancing, the ability to send Music files via the TV was quite cool. The killer though was being able to display photo albums on the TV. Digital Cameras would suddenly make a lot more sense to the mass market if they can easily view the pictures on their TV using a remote.
Can't wait to get one and show it to my wife. Even created a buzz with one of the PAs (and that's tough I can tell you).
Also seen today was one of the new Gaming adapters. Linksys don't have this on their website yet but it was very neat little box, essentially their Wet 11 adapted for a gaming market. Also I think a winner.
The meeting was also notable for the appearance of Cisco bods... I think they will find mass market a very different ball game from Networks.
Anyway, thanks David and Ivar!
