Among the interesting new software I saw at the show was a new Web browser add-on named Browster. This free plug-in adds what seems to be a smarter, quicker way to deal with online search results, whether you're on a shopping site or using a search engine such as Google or MSN. It offers an easy way to navigate through all the links/results you receive when you’re trying to find something, without having to hit the "back" button all the time.
The wireless networking people at Buffalo Technology were introducing their small LinkTheater Mini box. It’s a home entertainment device that allows users to view digital content (video, music and photos) on any product using the new DLNA standard.
DNLA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a series of guidelines and standards that is meant to allow new home entertainment devices to easily talk to each other. That includes making PCs and network storage devices accessible from anywhere in your home. If you’ve ever tried to install these devices and tried to get them to work together you’ll be rejoicing at the new standard.
Buffalo’s LinkTheater Mini will retail for $99 making it the first multimedia home entertainment device to break the $100 barrier.
Lastly, the experts at M-Audio have been boasting about their tiny, professional, digital audio recording studio that fits in the palm of your hand.
