Veebeam Wireless USB Media Streamers is cheap than any other media streamers.It is content agnostic and it’s a USB based product that simply creates a wireless link between PC and TV…..

Veebeam, a wireless company dedicated to bringing Internet video content to every TV, has announced today at the DEMO Fall 2010 conference in Santa Clara, a revolutionary 1080p HD media player named Veebeam that offers the easiest, most affordable, way to wirelessly stream anything from your laptop to your TV.  Internet-delivered movies, sports websites, photos and more can now be shared on any HDTV.

“Veebeam is the only product on the market that doesn’t pre-define the viewer’s experience. It is what we like to define as ‘content agnostic’ – anything from the Internet can be viewed on the TV.  The market interest has been incredible – Veebeam is going to enhance home entertainment, and help people to make the most of the Internet,” said Andrew Vought, Veebeam CEO.

In a world where individuals use the Internet on a daily basis to access endless entertainment options but are limited by the small screen and weak speakers of a laptop, Veebeam gives every broadband consumer the freedom to share their favorite content with others directly on their TV’s big screen.  No other product on the market offers an equivalent high-quality experience at such an affordable price, enabling the consumer to maximize the investment in their laptop without replacing their current TV.

This strange, strange looking device actually looks more sophisticated than it actually is. It’s not a traditional media streamer; rather, it’s a Wireless USB based product that simply creates a wireless link between your PC and your television. This obviously has pros and cons, but Veebeam is hoping you pay more attention to the former.

Unlike a Roku box, which is wired directly to your HDTV and received content from the Internet, the Veebeam box relies on your PC’s web browser to stream content, and then it sends that information wirelessly to your television over the Wireless USB protocol. It’s nice for those who simply need to stream everything, but Wireless USB isn’t known for having an incredible amount of bandwidth, so streaming 1080p may be a problem. That said, Veebeam is offering two units: an SD version with a composite output, and the HD version which has HDMI and digital audio (along with 2 USB ports).

In order to address consumer need, Veebeam is built to allow users to play any TV shows and movies from popular streaming sites without restrictions. Aside from being content agnostic, the device is also built on industry standard technology and works on most modern PCs and Macs.  The key features are:

• Easy to use – Just plug the Veebeam antenna into a laptop’s USB port and it begins streaming the desktop to the TV. Depending on what’s being viewed, users can switch between the ‘Screencasting’ mode, best for sharing websites or photos, and the ‘Play-To’ mode, to enjoy highest video quality and the ability to multi-task.
• Affordable – Starting at $99 USD/99 GBP/109 EUR, Veebeam lets users make the most of their existing HDTV and laptop.
• Looks great – Veebeam outputs up to 1080p video. Digital media files have never looked better on an HDTV.
• Compatible – Veebeam software works on laptops running Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Mac OSX 10.5 & 10.6.
• Plays anything – If a PC can play it, Veebeam can play it on a TV – anything from TV shows and movies streamed on Hulu, BBC iPlayer, and YouTube, to downloaded video and personal photos.
• Secure wireless USB – Veebeam creates a secure point-to-point wireless connection between a laptop and a TV. Wireless USB is more powerful than traditional WiFi because it offers more bandwidth, better security and less interference in an in-room environment.

Veebeam is available in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe from the company’s website (www.veebeam.com), and soon on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
