Sortprice Transforms Holiday Shopping While Transformers Return as Hot Holiday Gift

Leading search engine to compare prices names top holiday searches for 2007 gift giving season

Sortprice.com, the leading free-to-use shopping search engine that looks across thousands of online retailers to compare prices, today announced the most popular holiday gift searches for 2007. Topping the list, Transformers are officially back.

“Action figures are popular from year to year,” said Doron Simovitch, CEO and co-founder of Sortprice.com. “We don’t often see the same action figures purchased each year though, as different, newer television shows and movies contribute to overall popularity. It’s also uncommon to see an item that was big as a toy in another decade make a return in almost the exact same form.”

Hot technology items this year include the familiar, such as cameras and MP3 players. Popular clothing items range from cashmere sweaters to patent boots, and men’s dress shirts made an appearance as a safe standby.

Helping shoppers locate and share their finds on Sortprice are features such as “shop, drag and drop” that make it easier to send wishlists to friends and flag great deals. Another way to take advantage of can’t miss bargains is to begin early in the shopping season, as many online retailers offer free shipping up until the holidays.

“The best tip for bargain-seeking shoppers is to start online and start now,” added Simovitch. “Avoid the crowds and the chance that a hot gift will be out of stock. Online stores often have the ability to offer better deals, so it’s best to act soon, while there’s still time to take advantage.”

The Sortprice 2007 Holiday Gift Guide is now available to provide more assistance with gifting ideas.

In addition to popular searches, top gift categories in 2007 include:

Video game consoles
Action figures
Riding toys
Digital cameras
MP3 players
Women's handbags
Men's watches

WiFi Extender for weak WiFi networks works wonders!

hField Technologies has just launched an unified version of the Wi-Fire, a compact high-performance long-range USB WiFi Adapter. Wi-Fire now uses the same hardware for Mac, Windows XP and Vista - with the same outstanding performance. WiFi users can now easily use the Wi-Fire with a Mac, via Parallels, and on Windows platforms by installing the correct software on each machine.

With its high gain directional antenna and extremely strong receive sensitivity, this all new Wi-Fire now gives Mac and Windows users the freedom to connect to WiFi networks when they want, where they want using the same Wi-Fire. Users benefit from the increased mobility and greater range with faster speeds in comparison to other standard WiFi adapters.

As before, Wi-Fire provides interoperability with any 802.11 b/g access point and multiplies the effectiveness of wireless networks by allowing users to connect to a WiFi network from up to 1,000 feet - more than three times the range of Airport - often at significantly higher speeds, and even in locations where no wireless signal could be detected previously.

Wi-Fire, only 3 inches by 4 inches and a sleek 3/8-inch thick, is small, easy-to-use, and folds up with its mounting device and USB cable for portability.

Retail price for Wi-FireTM is $79.00 and is available now at http://www.hfield.com/buynow and participating retailers.

hField launched Wi-Fire for Mac in August to rave reviews http://www.hfield.com/news/wifire_inthenews.htm. The company expects the new universal hardware version to be met with equal excitement. "Wi-Fire is the perfect device - light weight and easy to use - for the seriously mobile Vista user and those who have problems connecting to their regular wireless network because of distance, obstacles or other interference," said Tom DiClemente, hField's CEO. "We're dedicated to empowering people to connect better, faster and more economically."

A Linux version is in development.

HD Radio - Discover it!

Polk Audio Introduces I-Sonic® Entertainment System 2

Denver, CO—September 6, 2007— Today at CEDIA Expo booth 830 in the Colorado Convention Center, Polk Audio announced the introduction of the I-Sonic Entertainment System 2, joining the critically acclaimed and award-winning original I-Sonic Entertainment System introduced in 2006. Both models represent the pinnacle of table top entertainment system performance and serve people who love music and care about how good it sounds; each I-Sonic model has a different feature set to serve different user profiles.

In addition to its audiophile-grade sound, the new I-Sonic Entertainment System 2 is the first radio that allows listeners to buy songs heard on HD Radio broadcasts using Apple’s revolutionary iTunes Tagging technology.

The I-Sonic ES2 features the same acoustic technologies that made the original I-Sonic the best sounding table top music system available. Four-speaker I-Sonic technology is a revolutionary way to launch stereo sound into a room. It delivers rich, room-filling stereo sound 360-degrees around the entertainment system. With I-Sonic technology listeners enjoy a big-life-like stereo image wherever they are in the room.

Patented PowerPort® bass venting technology belts out the kind of rich powerful bass one would expect from large free-standing speakers. Professional audio critics and I-Sonic owners described the sound of the original I-Sonic as “extraordinary,” “remarkable,” “incredible,” “live,” and “shockingly good.”

Polk Audio chose the feature set of the I-Sonic Entertainment System 2 to serve “new media” customers more likely to use their iPod for video delivery, while the original I-Sonic ES with its built-in DVD player appeals more to consumers for whom DVD is the preferred video format.

The I-Sonic® ES2 includes a second generation HD Radio tuner with full multicasting. With its advanced acoustical system, Digital Signal Processing, and new HD Radio tuner technology, the I-Sonic ES2 is the highest performing self-contained HD Radio product on the market. The I-Sonic ES2 accepts all iPod models with dock connectors in its top-mounted dock hidden beneath a sliding door. S-Video and composite video outputs allow the user to connect a television or video monitor to the IES2 for viewing video content stored on a video iPod.

The I-Sonic ES2 will debut a new music discovery feature from Apple® called iTunes Tagging which allows consumers to buy songs they hear on HD Radio stations. The iTunes Tag button on the I-Sonic ES2’s front panel and remote control allows consumers to tag songs broadcast by HD Radio stations. The I-Sonic ES2 stores information about the tagged songs to its memory and transfers the tags to an iPod when docked. When the consumer connects the iPod to his/her computer, iTunes automatically presents the songs in a new Tagged play-list for the consumer to preview, buy, and download. iTunes Tagging is a great way to discover new music and add it to one’s collection. An auxiliary input allows hook up of any stereo audio device such as a portable CD player or cassette deck. The I-Sonic ES2 is also a full function dual-alarm clock that can use the radio or iPod as the alarm. It also features a headphone jack for private listening, 24 radio presets and a wireless remote control. On-product controls allow the unit to operate should the remote be lost or disabled.

The I-Sonic ES2 measures only 14.5" x 9" x 4.75", making it the perfect system to use on a kitchen countertop, on a nightstand, in a TV stand or on a coffee table. Use the I-Sonic ES2 in homes, offices, and small businesses to deliver rich, room-filling 360-degree stereo sound that rivals or betters that of much larger and costlier audio systems. The I-Sonic ES2 will be available from select specialty retail stores, Apple® stores and direct from PolkAudio.com in October 2007 for $499.

HD Radio is digital radio technology developed by iBiquity Digital that offers static-free, crystal-clear reception with CD-quality sound from FM stations and the richness of FM-analog stereo sound quality from AM stations. HD Radio also allows broadcasters to multicast program streams over a single FM frequency (e.g. 97.7-1, 97.7-2, etc.) to offer additional content to serve multiple audiences. A variety of data services that range from text-based information -- artist name, weather alerts, school closings, traffic alerts, etc. -- can be scrolled across the receiver display.
