Toshiba Wireless USB Video Replicator Finally Goes Full HD
Laptop replicator is one of the few applications that truly benefits from UWB-based Wireless USB. The USB cable is too much of a hassle when you need to re-connect the same cable every time you return to your desk. Albeit a niche (and rather costly) accessory, wireless notebook docks do prove to be useful in cubicle environment. The new Toshiba Dynadock W20 is a modest upgrade over last year's Wireless U dock.
The improvements are the ability to output at full HD (1920 x 1080) through the unit's DVI port. Toshiba claims you can hook the dock with up to 3 monitors at once; though we don't see any additional video-out other than one standard DVI-I. Additionally, you will find 4 USB 2.0 ports all of which are Sleep & Charge capable. The Dynadock W20 also works over wired connection. It has a few things missing however, notably the 7.1 surround sound and Ethernet jack. As the W20 is available anywhere in the world but North America, those of you in USA and Canada interested in this niche accessory should check out Dynadock Wireless U instead.

Philips GoGear Connect PMP Joins Android Gang
Anything that has to do with Android platform always becomes the center of attention among bloggers. That's largely the reason why this Philips GoGear Connect PMP creates some excitement, but it's primarily because of the possibility of running a bewildering array of Android Market apps on this relatively unknown player. Specs-wise, the GoGear Connect sports a 3.2" touch screen; comes with 16GB internal memory (microSD slot provided for expansion); equips with a camera on the back; and interestingly, packs with a GPS as well as HDMI-out (720p max. output). There's also one curious looking button in the front of the horizontally-oriented PMP, but we weren't shown the GoGear Connect from other angles so there's no way if there are other buttons. Other than the fact the new Philips GoGear runs Android 2.1, the GUI skin isn't anything to write home about. If Philips believes the Connect (£199.99) has a chance, it better ships PMP internationally before the iPod touch 4 hits sometime this month.
