Depending on where you live, there may be a 7-Eleven convenience store on nearly every corner. In Taiwan, there will soon be 7-Eleven Wi-Fi hotspots on every corner, too.

According to DigiTimes, President Chain Store, the Taiwan operator of the 7-Eleven chain, has launched Wi-Fi services under its own brand in Taiwan. All 4,800 7-Eleven stores will eventually host a "7WiFi" hotspot.

Chungwa Telecom helped establish the network, though 7WiFi pricing will differ from CHT's own offerings. 7-Eleven will also offer store cards good for a single day or a month of 7WiFi access.

A company called Warpia on Tuesday unveiled a device intended to let you watch media from your laptop on your living room HDTV in full 1080p glory. It's called the StreamHD and it wirelessly transmits pretty much anything you want, including movies, pictures, Facebook, Hulu, and so forth.

"Our improved technology gives customers the all-access viewing they've come to expect from Warpia, along with stunning HD quality," says Marc Levaggi, VP of Marketing for Warpia. "StreamHD makes wireless home entertainment seem effortless."

All a user has to do is hook up the receiver base to their television using the included HDMI cable, and then plug the USB dongle into their notebook. Warpia says the device has a line-of-site wireless range of 30 feet, and if you have optical inputs, you can shuttle 5.1 channel surround sound as well.

The StreamHD is available now for $170.

Trendnet went for style points with the release of its new 300Mbps Wireless-N Media Bridge, model TEW-640MB. The new device sports a sleek glossy black finish and is able to connect Ethernet-ready living room devices, such as gaming consoles, network TVs, receivers, media controllers, DVRs, Blu-ray players, and more.

"Following the tremendous success of our 300Mbps Wireless-N Gaming Adapter, model TEW-647GA, we decided to build the foundation of the 300Mbps Wireless-N Media Bridge and use the same high performance chipset," stated Sonny Su, Technology Director for Trendnet. "The TEW-640MB is truly the result of listening to our customers. Users were saying that they absolutely loved the performance and the look of the TEW-647GA, but wanted more ports to connect all of their new media center devices to a high performance wireless connection. I believe the TEW-640MB delivers on its promise and will be well received."

Quality of Service (QoS) data prioritization comes as part of the package, as does Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology, one-touch wireless security setup, encryption up to WPA2-PSK, and up to 100 meters of outdoor coverage (up to 50 meters indoors).

The TEW-640MB is available now for $70.

Samson Technologies on Thursday announced its wireless Expedition XP40iw portable PA system, the latest addition to the Expedition family and the first to feature a built-in wireless microphone and rechargeable battery.

"The XP40iw sound system is perfect for any occasion where great sound and portability are a must," said Mark Wilder, Director of Marketing for Samson Technologies. "Setup is a snap so it’s easy to use at a backyard party Saturday night and to fire up the troops at a Monday morning sales meeting."

It also comes with an onboard iPod dock plopped right into the top handle. Samsung says the XP40iw is capable of up to 40W of full-range sound from a lightweight Class D amplifier and 6-inch woofer with titanium dome compression driver.

The XP40iw is available now for $300.
