Once again our friend Robert Silva from About.com has come through with some great footage from CES. This is from the IOGEAR booth. Here we wee IOGEAR’s Wireless 3D Media Kit in action. This will stream Blu-ray and 3D content wirelessly to your HDTV. This is due out in August which, according to the rep, is three months ahead of the competition.

Next, check out their Qumi Pico DLP projector. It’s got a WXGA resolution, LED light source with a 30,000 hour life, and will also stream 3D. Thanks again Robert for the scoop. Read more…

Liz’s audio is much better this week, look for video’s to resume soon. Speaking of video’s check out the one below for Robert Silva’s interview with the Vivitek rep on their new 3D projectors. You won’t believe the price. Tom and Liz have a few things to say about digital copies. Tom has a bad 3D experience. iTunes has special features you might not know about. Who’s right? Dolby or THX? Tom decides. Liz mishears Tom. People with more money than sense with home theaters. An update on Tom’s book. Stay tuned for more from Robert at CES right here on AV Rant.
