If you mansion’s WiFi connection, or lack there of has got you down, fear not, for hField Technologies is here to save your from interrupted YouTube streams.  Announced yesterday, the Wi-Fire, which is in its 3rd iteration, claims to increase your computer’s wireless connection by up to 1,000 feet.  It’s limited to b and g speeds, but since it’s 30% lighter and 40% smaller than the previous versions, and appears to clip conveniently to the top of your laptop and plug in via USB, I’d say they’ve got a winner.  Just keep in mind that it draws some added juice, which means less battery power.

You can grab one now for $59.

Setting up a security camera can be a complete drag.  First you’ve gotta wire it and then you gotta hurry up and wait for something to go down.  The All Weather Security Camera not only operates completely free of wires and in any weather condition, but sends its captured 1.3 megapixel images directly to your cell phone or computer via a GSM cellular signal.  50 infrared flash bulbs capture any nefarious activities in the lowest of light and the heat activated sensor insures that its battery (last 4 to 6 weeks) life isn’t wasted on a waving tree branch.  Course, with a price of $600 D-Link’s line of WiFi cameras are starting to look more and more affordable.

A speaker that doesn’t need anything to produce sound?  Well, sort of.  Bose has recently announced the release of their SoundLink speaker system. This new system uses a USB dongle to transmit your computer’s music (or compatible device) wirelessly to the speaker setup.

It has a built-in Lithium ion battery that can play at full volume for a maximum of 3 hours and you can crank up the speaker using the included remote control or just use the buttons on the speaker itself.

But here comes the bad part! On its official release date on August 27, the SoundLink will cost at around $550! Yeah I know, a lot of dreams have been shattered, including mine.  I sure hope that’s not going to be the final price tag because with that kind of sticker shock, I’d rather hang on to my cheaper WiFi speakers.

Now, I’m really kicking myself for purchasing a Logitech diNovo Mac Keyboard.  Why? If I held out a bit longer I could have picked up Brando’s Slim Keyboard with Smart Touchpad.  With the flip of a switch the touch sensitive numeric keypad can be converted into a multitouch touchpad with left and right mouse buttons.  On top of all that it’s RF wireless and just 18mm thick.  Yours for $69.

Nokia dropped a new pair of Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones yesterday, the BH-905.  They claim it’s the ‘first product to feature patented multi-microphone-feed-forward active noise canceling technology’.  In other words, 10 microphones work in concert – 8 to sample and cancel out ambient noise, 2 to capture speech – to produce crystal clear audio listening and telephone calls.  Integrated into the headphone are MP3 player controls, such as skip forward, play, pause and more.  A single charge provides up to 24 hours of talk time and 25 hours of audio playback; subtract 10 hours if both Bluetooth and noise cancellation are engaged.  Also included in the package is a travel charger and adapters for 2.5 and 3.5mm headphone jacks.  The Nokia BH-905 will go on sale this August for about $420.
