Wiz Network Adaptor Rendering Shot

[iAmGhost]

3d rendering shot of Wiz Network Adaptor is released.

It uses 24-pin connector, and there is USB port at back.

You can use wireless network by connecting USB WLAN card or Bluetooth module to USB port.

I don't know there is built-in Wi-Fi. (maybe you need WLAN/Bluetooth module for use wireless network.)

Nice!

Thanks for these pics!

So its pretty much a usb port to put a BYO WiFi or LAN adapter in?

EDIT: Re-read, might have in-built WiFi

EDIT II: but then again what would be the point in calling it a 'Netword Adaptor' if it cant connect to a network by itself?

This sounds like theres a mistake somewhere. I mean whats the point of a adapter if it doesn't actually do anything? Both BT and wifi integrated, please.

Looks a bit chunky for something that does nothing .

Are you sure those are recent renders? The Wiz doesnt have a split dpad in the first pic.

I hope that USB-Adaptor will be support plugging the USB-Hub for 2+ external USB gaming controllers.

A network adaptor which requires a USB WLAN or Bluetooth module to be connected to it in order to function?

*confused*

Sounds more like a USB host adaptor to me...

 

[jbrodack]

so what exactly does this do again?

 

[quasist]

One we know for certain ... this is not a handstrap adaptor

That large space could be to hold a battery for the USB host.

Ok I am confused. I thought this was just going to be a wifi dongle but this is also so the Wiz can have USB? I thought the Wiz already had USB, because that's how it chareges the battery.

the 'usb' power line is on the EXT connection, either you will have a ext to usb cable or in my case a dev break out board with the power socket it on it.

It isn't a WiFi dongle if I understand it good ,, it is going to be a EXT -> USB host + power ( but I hope it will have WiFi and 2+ USB host ( bluetooth would be nice to ) )

This is a joke right? Why make such an adaptor at all and in 2009? :rolleyes:

Yes butt what does the adaptor do like Craig said is it its own host.

New incarnation of the GP2X cradle perhaps? Looks ok if that's the case, as long as it's given the correct name.

I think Wongle has already been decided .


A new cradle is a nice way to look at it.

Ach and when will We get the cardle with TV-out ?? Will We ever get it ,, USB host isn't everything that should be on the cardle at least for small developers who don't have the BoB ( Maybe if they would sell the BoB this Dongle would be enough as a cardle ) That's my opinion ..
