Several Linksys products are hot tech gift ideas this holiday season.
The new Wireless-B and Wireless-G Game Adapters (WGA11B, WGA54G) are great for for game enthusiasts. These adapters allow gamers to wirelessly connect their PlayStation2, Xbox, or GameCube consoles together for head-to-head gaming and to the Internet for live online multi-player gaming.
The new Wireless-B Internet Video Camera (WVC11B) allows customers to set up a wireless video monitoring system with viewing access available via Web Browser from anywhere in the world. Weighing less than a pound, the Wireless-B Video Camera's slim design and unique form factor make it easy for parents to mount in a variety of locations or simply slide it into the included stand for desktop use. Once the camera is connected to the Internet, parents can "see what it sees" from any Internet connected PC in the home, office or on the road. The camera can also be used for video monitoring such as keeping an eye on children in another room, babies in their crib or even to check in on pets while working at the office.
Here's a great gift for someone who wants the latest in home entertainment -- the new Wireless-B Media Adapter (WMA11B). The media adapter connects a TV and Stereo into a wireless network, allowing users to enjoy digital music such as MP3s and pictures stored on their PC on their TV and stereo system. The media adapter connects to the entertainment center using standard A/V or S-Video cables. Users can play songs individually, by directory, or create M3U or ASX playlist files. Users can also set up their own play lists by album, song title, genre and much more. For digital camera users, pictures can be displayed individually or in a slide show format.
Mike Wagner, Linksys director of marketing said, "This holiday season, we are offering great deals on the latest products for everyone on your gift list. Last year, millions of wireless routers were opened during Christmas and Hanukkah and this year we are recommending ideal solutions that work with those wireless networks to extend the uses into many areas of the home where it's most convenient and more fun."
