10 Cool Gadgets You Can't Get Here--Yet

A high-definition TV you can carry in your pocket. A remote you talk to. A dongle for bringing HDTV broadcasts to your laptop while you're on the go. Sound great? Too bad, because you'll have to cross an ocean to get them.

High-Def Revolution

Aigo USB Dongle

It's a laptop! No, it's an HDTV! Actually, it's both--thanks to Aigo's USB Dongle, which uses Legend Silicon's LGS-8GL5 chip set to receive and decode high-definition TV broadcasts on the go. Plug it into any laptop's USB port to receive terrestrial signals from China's new mobile HDTV broadcast network, created specifically for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The dongle is one of dozens of portable high-def receivers that are being installed in buses, taxis, and public venues throughout China.

Availability: China only.
