I bet there are lots of you out there who like me enjoy watching the occasional video online from YouTube or Hulu. The main reason I don’t watch more videos is that I don’t like watching on my PC screen. I want to watch on my big screen in the living room.

Alereon is showing off a new OEM solution at CES that is called the NoWire Laptop to HDTV Extender Kit reference design. The tech allows you to plug a USB dongle into your laptop and a receiver into your HDTV via the HDMI port.

When I first heard about Wireless USB, I was excited that I could ditch all the cables behind my computer and go cable free. Unfortunately, my dreams of no cables in my office have not yet come true. One of the biggest companies pushing Wireless USB is Alereon and the firm is announcing a new accessory for the iPhone this month at Computex.

The accessory does two things for the iPhone and iPod touch. First, the gadget apparently has an internal battery that allows the iPhone or iPod to operate longer than possible on the internal battery alone. The accessory is based on low-power 90nm-LP AL5301 chip built in the 12-inch wafer plant owned by Samsung in Korea.
