First 3D TV USB Tuner from AVerMedia
Excited about 3D but not ready to take the plunge due to lack of content, channels or standards? AVerMedia has stepped up to fill the void with their latest AVerTV 3D USB TV Tuner. This 3DTV tuner picks up DVB-T broadcast signals and lets you play them on your PC. (DVB is a digital TV system that is available in Europe and parts of Asia whereas North American countries have adopted ATSC.) The AVer MediaCenter software that is included with the flash drive sized tuner has a built in program guide to sift through all the available stations and programming. The full featured software mates nicely with a full sized IR multimedia remote control. Shows can be captured and converted into mobile friendly format for iPod or iPad and others realtime, no need for a conversion step. The MediaCenter program is also responsible for the 3D features of this tiny tuner. It is capable of producing all of the three current types of 3D for video output or recording. The software can also interpret 2D video and make a best guess 3D version of it. Initial impressions of this Up-Dimensioning technique have been very positive. 3D fans might find this a great segue device until more content comes along in true 3D.

Edifier USB Hub Speakers Made With Practicality in Mind
Edifier has been known for their quality and sensibly-priced speaker systems. With the release of the M20USB speakers, they seek to innovate the USB speaker market with some very creative features. As USB speakers, the Edifier Prime handles digital audio with a single USB jack. Since digital audio is streamed directly from the source, aftermarket sound cards will not be required for pure and quality sound. In the hardware department, the Prime USB features a 52mm fully shielded dynamic driver in each of the two satellites rated at 5W RMS which should be very capable in reproducing sound in high fidelity. Aside from the USB input, the speakers also feature an analogue 3.5mm jack for easy connection to iPods and other PMPs, as well as an AUX stereo in for other audio equipment. A unique feature found on the Prime USB is its USB hub capability featuring 3 (4 if using analogue inputs) available high-speed USB 2.0 ports. These will help greatly in expanding the much-needed number of USB ports on laptops, as well as serve as a central hub for keyboards, mice, and other USB gizmos. All these put together, Edifier has made another impressive speaker system that is practical, and priced at 79.99 USD, it is quite affordable compared to other true-USB speakers such as the B&W MM-1.
