"What's New" Wednesday--New Gadgets and Tech This Week

Starting this week, every week we’ll round up some of the highlights from new releases of gadgets, gear, and more.









Netgear Digital Entertainer Elite ($499.99 MSRP)–Like a home theater PC without the maintenance or setup hassles, the Entertainer is a device that will stream content from the Internet and your networked computers or NAS to your HDTV. What makes it different from its slew of competitors is a 500 GB hard drive, HDMI 1080p upconversion, native support for high-definition audio codecs like TrueHD and dts-HD, and support for a ton of audio and video file formats.






Nikon D5000 Digital SLR ($849.95 MSRP w/ 18-55mm lens)–12.3-megapixel resolution, plus a 2.7-inch Vari-angle color LCD and D-Movie mode with sound, meaning you can capture 720p HD video on this camera.






Western Digital 1 TB MyDVR Expander ($199.99 MSRP)–Finally released in a full terabyte version, the MyDVR Expander works with every type of TiVo (Series3, HD, HD XL) to increase the storage capacity for your favorite recorded shows–up to 60 hours of hi-def shows or 300 hours of standard-def shows.
