Yes, no controller required my friend – nadah! Check out the video below.

Here’s my first attempt to put it to good use.  A head to head match between Smart Bro and Globe Tattoo – round 1 of broadband wars.  I personally own a Smart Bro unit, its been with me for quite some time now – I’m happy with it.  I borrowed a Globe Tattoo unit from my friend – he wasn’t happy with it.  In fact, its still with me.. hahaha, I’m not sure if he has plans to get it back.  Anyway… just check out the video below (Adobe Premiere to put the 2 videos side by side) – I think its obvious why I’m the happy one.

I’ve been dreaming about this ever since I first started watching movies on my PC — an ingenious gadget that I can plug to my PC/Notebook and start watching movies on my TV while lying down comfortably on my bed a few feet away (with my notebook on my lap of course).

A while back I recall hearing about this and some predictions that the technology will soon be available – they said 2008… its true.

See for yourself:

LV3500W LongView Wireless

I’m still saving up — it will set you back around $700. Is it worth it? Ask yourself, did WiFi make your life easier? Now imagine separating that small lcd screen you see attached to your notebook (laptop) and increase the size to let’s say 32 inches LCD (hehe, just like mine) and move back to a comfortable distance (like your bed) and be able to check your emails, surf the net, watch movies and PLAY GAMES! Having said all that, is it worth it?
