ZyXEL DMA1000 and PLA400
2008-04-12>
If you want to stream HD to your TV then this is probably the best option we’ve seen to date, short of setting up a PC and plugging it straight into your TV.

Yoggie pico personal security appliance
2007-07-19>
The idea of getting security software off your computer is a tempting one, but this device throws up new problems. Unless you’re tied to a specific location, the risk of forgetting the device seems high, and that could really ruin your day. If your computer struggles to cope under the weight of security software then you may decide that the advantages of the Yoggie Pico are worth the price.
