Not afraid of the big bad (somewhat uncertain) upgrade path? More 802.11n-draft wireless networking gear, coming through today, this time from Belkin. Say hello to their N1 line of gear based on Atheros XSPAN chipsets, which come in the form of a $99.99 PC card (sorry, no ExpressCard yet), $119.99 PCI card with antennae (F5D8001), USB adapter (F5D8051) later this year, and pleasantly affordable $149.99 router (F5D8231-4). Of course, we’re making no claims whatsoever that you should run out and grab these if it’s 300Mbps wireless you’re after; but if you’re ready to take the plunge these could be as good as any, and seem to stand an equal chance of actually being compliant with 802.11n when it’s approved by the IEEE some time in 2015.

We’d heard it, it leaked, it got reviewed, then announced, now it’s time to get your 750GB perp drives on people. Seagate’s new 750GB Pushbutton Back-up Hard Drive isn’t by an means out of the ordinary — it’s an external drive with USB 2.0 and FireWire, the only difference is it’s 750GB in a single drive, not two drive in RAID 0. For what you’re getting the $559 doesn’t even really seem that out of control, and you’ll have your chance to get one starting next month, according to Seagate. We’re not going to ask what the hell kind of data you’ve got that requires you to go buy a 750GB drive (or a couple of ‘em for an array, as it were), but copious storage early adopters, we tip our hats to you.

Yeah, we’ve seen plenty of LCDs haphazardly attached to about every recent console out there in hopes of creating a portable system of sorts, but we’re not sure they’ve ever looked quite as ridiculous as this 9.2-incher from JoyTech. Sure, 9.2-inches is a decent bit of display as far as these setups go, and the 800 x 480 widescreen resolution is welcome, but with as hot as the 360 gets already, we don’t think it’ll take very kindly to having its side vents sealed off by a hunk of plastic. We also can’t imagine this thing riding on your lap while you game in the backseat of your next roadtrip, but it doesn’t look like even JoyTech would presume that, and instead probably hope to squeeze this into a few tight dorm rooms that would otherwise resign to being entries in Xbox 360 Fanboy’s most pathetic 360 setup contest.

Until now SD WiFi has come in the form of those oversized (well, relatively) cards too long to actually fit in your device except those specifically designed to take one, like Kodak’s Easy Share One, or Treo 650 / 700. Well, according to Eye-Fi, we can all scratch that problem off the list. By building their wireless into the flash of an SD card they can save on precious space, and also get a GB of memory in there too. Of course this won’t exactly help all those digital cameras out there that don’t even come close to supporting such a thing, but sometimes this kind of gear has to precede the hardware support in order to prove its own demand.
