Best home pc to tv gadget wifi USB media drives

August 27, 2012 by JJ 5 Comments

This post was originally written in 2010 but a lot has happened since then, tv’s have become smarter and so a lot of these gadgets  reviewed  below have become obsolete now in 2018 and beyond. The eye-fi pro still stands out as a gadget that can stand the test of time for its unique capabilities. Do check out our latest Google home gadget  & tech reviews too.

Share Your PC media to your TV wirelessly

The IUM has built in WiFi and pairs to the WiFi Interface of your laptop.The IUM is paired with one Host PC/Laptop then can be used in any USB Equipped Device that accepts USB Flash Drives

Infinite IUM USB Media drive

Open for orders from 01 august 2010

The device has built-in wireless and uses the wireless interface of your laptop on the end. The connection is point to point and not via other access point or internet.

PC to PC works fine. The shared files are visible on the IUM like a normal flash drive so the PC will read them as if they are actually on the device.

It’s very nice and handy, but as you said, $129 is a bit much for something like this.

“instead of storing data inside the stick it uses any thing that has a USB port as the storage space, enabling “infinite” data sharing ( videos, photos, doc..etc) using WIFI network meaning the device act as wireless connector between a personal computer and anything that is USB-enabled.”

More features for this drive at the vendor website at http://www.infinitec.com/ium_drive/features.php

HSTI Wireless Media Stick™ @ $99 Only

THE Option similar to this which is already available in the market is the “HSTI Wireless Media Stick™”.

Simply share your files from any computer within your home/work wireless network, plug the Wireless Media Stick™ into the USB port of your playback device and stream your media instantly. The Wireless Media Stick™ references shared media files from any networked computers and NAS devices and presents them to the playback device it’s mounted to as if the files were stored locally.

Once a file is selected for playback, the Wireless Media Stick™ then streams the file via a wireless router from any PC, Laptop and NAS device.

MSRP: $99.99 – Introductory Price!

“Eye-Fi Pro”  Wireless memory card

The cost for this convenience is $129, which seems rather steep to me, although (for what it’s worth) it’s generally equivalent to the Eye-Fi Pro, which offers the same kind of wireless ad-hoc network functionality.

Also released recently “Eye-Fi card”, the “Eye-Fi Pro”. It costs $150, and is able to handle RAW files, as well as connect to a computer via an ad-hoc wireless network, i.e. no router necessary. These are certainly nice features, although RAW support at least seems more like a firmware upgrade, and it would be cool if Eye-Fi would push that option out to their other cards

    This means you will end up going by the people’s choice and they undoubtedly
    wilkl comply. Knowing the bridal couple is occupied, and not just
    standing around waiting for me to figure out the problem with my camera seems
    a lot less stressful on the wedding day. Finding Work: Decide whethyer you wish to start your own business of
    wedding photography or you want to join an already established firm.

    I have the WirelessMediaStick and it is heads above the IUM stick, as I can simultaneously access my 5 different machines on my network, all sharing files. The IUM will allow you to only ‘pair’ with your one machine.

    Get the Media Stick, you won’t regret it!
