Gadget Lovers: Netgear

Gadget Lovers Dept: For gadget lovers, it s an exciting time of year. But for Canadian gadget lovers, it can also be a frustrating time of year, because many of the products and services announced at CES won t be available in Canada for weeks or months, if ever, according to CBC. Or take Netgear, which announced a new Google TV appliance, the NeoTV PRIME, "available now in the United States." No Canadian availability was announced and the annual Consumer Electronics Show opened its doors in Las Vegas today, and the accompanying deluge of gadget coverage is already waist deep. For example, alongside its new 4K super-high definition television sets, Sony announced plans to launch a 4K video distribution service in the U.S. this summer. No Canadian availability was announced. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
