Philips has this new wireless HDTV link which eliminates most of your unsightly cable clutter to your TV. The main unit acts a wireless AV switch box where your AV receiver, game console, Blu-ray player and other AV decks are hooked up to the unit. The package comes with a smaller secondary receiver unit as shown on the inset that can be attached to the rear of your TV. It then interfaces the TV with just a single HDMI connection. Both units then operate wirelessly and thus you can have all your AV equipment much further away from your TV than usual and not have all the unsightly wires.

Philips has a slew of new PAP and PMP devices. This is the Vibe 8GB audio player with FM radio , voice recorder, 1.5-inch display and given an aluminum finishing. Estimated to be about US$60 and from Q2 of 2010.

Here's the full gang coming in Q2 of 2010. From top to bottom:- Muse, Cam (with a 2MP camera), Vibe and Raga Sport.

This is the Philips Cushion Speaker. As seen on the inset, the bottom is s comfortable cushion to rest on your lap while the top is flat base for your laptop and it even has speakers built on the front edge.

Ever thought of the hassle of wall mounting your TVs and each vendor has their own bracket? Philips might have tackled that with an easy to mount universal bracket. The curved central bar is one of the design enablers that makes it compatible with a variety of TVs. The mount even has a leveling meter integrated!
