It's been a long time comin', but the little startup-that-could has just gone official with its first major consumer electronics peripheral, the IUM (http://www.engadget.com/tag/IUM/). First introduced at CES (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/exclusive-infinitec-demonstrates-ium-ad-hoc-streaming-device-m/), this ad hoc streaming stick creates a local WiFi network (802.11b/g/n; 2.4GHz to 5GHz) for all sorts of media and data to flow from your PC to, well, pretty much anything. PC to PC, PC to Blu-ray player, PC to printer and PC to console streaming is all within reach, with HD support baked in to boot. We've already given you low-down on functionality (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/18/infinitec-details-infinite-usb-memory-device-functionality-ahead/), but today the company is announcing a July 1st availability date for consumers across the US, Canada and Europe. We're told to expect it for "under $129 depending on the location," and if all goes well, it'll ship in even more locales in due time. Hop on past the break for the full release and promo video, and be sure to give that Shufflegazine link a visit for podcasts detailing the use scenarios.
