Printing has entered the wireless age. Steve demonstrates how easy it is to setup a printer on your wireless network with the HP PhotoSmart C6300 and the HP PhotoSmart C8180 printers. There is no longer a need for cables to be strewn about your office. And now you can connect multiple computers to the same printer even from different parts of your house.

Steve also shows off HP’s Photobooks, the perfect way to share those precious moments. 

In this edition of Urban Upgrade, we show you how to choose the perfect HDMI cable for your system.

Hybrid Networking

Choose your network, more access less cost!

There is a really compelling new direction our wireless world is taking. From a technology perspective it is compelling, that is, not necessarily from an ease of use perspective.

Many of our mobility devices are now designed for hybrid networking. These devices work on more than one network. For example I am testing out the Blackberry Bold, a new Blackberry that actually looks almost exactly like the older Blackberry. The difference is the Bold has WiFi built in. So you can log onto your home or office network and use the Wifi connection.

iMovie

Steve puts on his movie producer’s beret to demonstrate what you can create with iMovie HD, part of Apple’s iLife ’06 package. Transform digital stills or video into home movie masterpieces using themed graphics packages. Caroline’s got a source for effortless, and free, entertainment that’s bound to catch on – Pandora.com, where you can set up your own personalized song streaming service.

Wireless

The wireless trend continues unabated… from Bluetooth keyboard & mouse desktop sets from Microsoft and Logitech, to D-Link’s gaming router & adapter or the powerful Xbox 360. With wireless controllers and three core central processing units, the Xbox is also extensible for an added hard drive, memory sticks or USB peripherals. And find out how you can upgrade your system into a “gaming computer” with a video card.
