IOGear's USB to VGA Kit Puts Wireless Gap Between PC and Monitor
Combine this little gizmo with a wireless USB hub and you could almost have your PC in a separate room to you: it's a wireless VGA cable. The USB to VGA kit consists of a transmitter dongle and a receiver with a VGA-socket. It's probably aimed more at swanky PC-projector setups, since it can cope with video of up to 720p quality over a range of 30-feet, and sadly is only compatible with Windows XP and Vista machines. Due in September for around $230. [TFTS]

IOGear GearJuice Rescue Charger: 15 Mins of Emergency Gadget Power
Sure, there are other emergency chargers out there, ready to give your gizmos a puff of extra life when they're out of juice, but perhaps none so pocketable as IOGear's new GearJuice Rescue charger. Just big enough to house a single AA battery it's got a mini-USB plug to connect up to many MP3 players, cameras and phones. It'll give a phone about 15 mins of talk time— enough to call Mom and Dad and tell them you'll be home late and your phone's out of juice, anyway. Available for around $11.99.

IOGEAR USB Net ShareStation Brings USB Over the Network
Sharing USB Printers over the network is old hat, but IOGEAR's USB Net ShareStation lets you share just about every USB device you've got. There's external hard drives, flash drives, card readers, USB webcams, USB Speakers and USB printers, all extensible over the 10/100 port to your network. There's also a built-in USB 2.0 hub extension so you can shove in four devices to use. Definitely useful if you've got an old printer that doesn't have networking features, or if you want to have access to a webcam you hid in someone's bathroom. [IOGEAR]

IOGEAR's Portable Media Player Upscales Video to 720P, Bears World's Most Generic Name
IOGEAR's portable media player, actually named Portable Media Player, may look as generic as its name on the outside, but actually has some good features on the inside (but no screen). There's the most unique one, the ability to upscale video files to 720P for display on an HDTV, but there's also XviD, DivX, MPEG1/2, and full DVD menu support as well as a bunch of audio support. With a 120GB drive on board, the $349.95 price tag doesn't seem all that steep, but there's probably little to no chance that most people will have the use of playing back 720P video on the go, on other people's screens. Maybe if you traveled a lot and wanted to watch your own movies in hotel rooms? [IOGEAR]

IOGEAR Fined $208,000 By EPA For Germ-Free Mice Claims
IOGEAR's Germless Portable Laser Mouse isn't quite so germless after all, which is why the Environmental Protection Agency levied a fine of $208,000 on the company for "unsubstantiated public health claims regarding unregistered products, and their ability to control germs and pathogens." In other words, these things aren't killing any germs, and you probably shouldn't be buying them in hopes that they will. And as a result of the fines, IOGEAR's also stopped claiming that their germ-killing mice (now just "mice") kill germs. [IOGEAR via Crave via Gadgetell]

IOGEAR PCPortal Lets You Remotely Control Your Parents' Computer via Hardware KVM
Remotely connecting to your parents' computer to show them how to send email or file their taxes is fine if everything's working correctly, but how about when there's some sort of hardware or operating system error? IOGear's PCPortal actually bypasses the issue entirely by being a hardware solution that hooks directly up to an Ethernet port and to the computer you're trying to connect to like a KVM. More »

Iogear Mobile Digital Scribe Writes Anywhere
The updated Iogear Mobile Scribe captures 50 pages of your handwriting and doodles on any surface, using normal ink, and without the need to be connected to a computer like the previous Digital Scribe GPEN100C. This storage capability is more than enough for a full day of classes and meetings, but short of the 250 pages necessary to do anything really useful. And with useful I really mean full-length stickmen animations. Full specs after the jump: More »

IOGear Wireless USB Hub Reviewed (Verdict: Pointless Use Of Good Technology)
Unquestionably, Wireless USB is a technology with great potential. With the introduction of IOGear's Wireless USB Hub, they claim it connects to your PC easily, clears up wire clutter and makes speedy file transfers. But after playing with IOGear's Wireless USB Hub, we can't say this device lives up to that potential. Connecting can bothersome, USB 2.0 is substantially faster and the wires are still there.

IOGEAR's Gear Juice Makes Sure Your Gadgets Are Never Without Power

IOGear Automatic HDMI Switch, Instead of a Whole New Receiver
If you're thinking about dropping more than $1000 on a fancy new receiver just because it has four HDMI inputs, wait a doggone minute. This IOGear Automatic HDMI Switch has four HDMI ports going in and one going to your TV, and it's pretty smart, too, automatically figuring out which component is on and then sending that (up to 1080p) signal directly to your HDMI-equipped TV set.

Iogear Keychain WiFi Detector
It's pretty small, that's for sure. This Iogear WiFi, the GWF001, is as basic as can be. LEDs show signal strenght and access point status and it's thin enough to hang off a keychain without blowing out your pleats. Priced at about $29, it's an easy, if uninformative, way to see if there are open WiFi access points in a 500 foot radius. More » -
