Tribute to the Little Frogs in the Big CES Pond
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: CES, CES 2008, Editorial, Video Games,
It’s been a long week. Imagine being one of the vendors at the CES, overwhelmed by all the electronic sights and sounds, not to mention being in Vegas in the first place. After all the hoopla, it’s time to pack up and move on to Macworld, unless you are like Innex, who features small items like this tiny Mario Kart Style Stylus Pen for Nintendo DS. Do you suppose that companies like this get overlooked in the 150-inch screens and lost in the latest in iTech? Our kudos to the little guys, the tireless sales reps that probably would just rather be home playing Mario Kart.

CES 2008: golla, for Those Who Have
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, Smartphones, CES, CES 2008, Design, Handhelds, PC / Laptop, Portable Audio / Video,
We don’t often indulge in designer goods, but this is the CES and we want to be fair. The website alone was so impressive that we just had to mention it. First off, Finland’s golla bags are a “collection, ” not an assortment, that changes bi-annually. They describe themselves as a blend of “lifestyle, fashion, and technology.” We didn’t check, but we are pretty sure Paris must have one of their mobile, musical, digi, laptop bags and sleeves, or backbags. Look at this! It’s a cotton, polyester, spandex sock! Finally, don’t even hunt around the site for a price. Once again, if you have to ask… By the way, ever since someone stole our flipVideo cover, we have been using an old Nike sock to carry it around. Price: $00.00. Usefulness: priceless.

CES 2008: Watch Your iPod
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, CES, CES 2008, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video, Video Games,
You can now watch music videos or movies on the move and look even sillier
cooler than you do when normally dancing around and playing your fave tunes. In cooperation with INNO Design, Myvu has created 2 new styles of their personal media viewers that can attach to Sansa -Views, Zunes, various Nokia N95 and Samsung phones, portable DVD players, game consoles, and of course viewable iPods. Slim, lightweight, and see-through, the Crystal glasses come with noise-cancelling earbuds and a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery for up to 4 hours of viewing time. Myvu Shades are available now at Amazon for $199.99 and the Crystal will be following along this spring for $299.99. We can’t imagine spending that much money to watch something on an even smaller screen, no matter how awesome you think you will look.

CES 2008: Portable Scoreboard for Jocks
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: CES, CES 2008, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
Seventy 7’s Felip Ivanovski’s baby is his Versus Scoreboard. A former professional phys. ed. instructor, he thought it would be nice to have a counter made of more than just wood. The device features 2 10W speakers, a mic, a countdown timer, buzzer, period tracker, and can be customized with a faceplate of the sponsor’s name. Its LED settings will work both indoors and out, and its RF remote can apparently work through walls. We dig that it can jeer or applaud and can be taught team specific team chants. The Scoreboard can double as a boom box with MP3 playback.Running on battery or AC power, contact Seventy 7 for further info and price.

CES 2008: Chair Mount Means Never Having to Get Up
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: CES, CES 2008, Smart Home, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop, Video Games,
Designed for the couch potato set, the Easy Chair Mount is a great excuse for not needing to stop computing or gaming until you need another beer. Mount a flat panel LCD monitor to your sofa or La-Z-boy, connect the optional arm, and attach to the legs of your furniture. The arm has a 13-inch vertical range, a 22.75-inch horizontal range, rotates, and folds into 3-inches of space. We’re not exactly sure why the arm is sold separately as we don’t know anyone who has a spare lying around. The two parts are available at a price of $285.00, while the mount alone will set you back $119.00.

CES 2008: Titan Supreme Creates Discs En Masse
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: CES, CES 2008, Editorial, Misc. Tech, Movies, Music,
We can’t outdo the CES description on this duplicator:
“Do you need an autoloader that can hold up to the pressures of your high volume 24/7 work environment? When your business requires the added edge in overnight continuous duplication with the highest degree of reliability and functionality, the Titan Supreme is the answer.” Vinpower then goes on to extol its virtues under the “most grueling of continuous duplication conditions.”
We all know what that means if we pay attention to the news occasionally, but we would prefer to think that it is studios or legitimate video outfits that are actually buying the product that has a 1000 disc capacity and configuration of 4, 6, or 8 drives for Blu-Ray/CD/DVD. Contact Vinpower for details.

CES 2008: Steamer is Two Roombas in One
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: CES, CES 2008, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
There can never be enough cleaning bots. So, in addition to iRobot’s roomba and scooba on the market, there is now one gadget that Hanulkid claims can do both. The bot can sweep door sills up to 1.5 cm high, and features IR, PSD, 3-way gyroscope, geomagnetic, and humidity sensors. When the Steamer has finished sucking up all that dirt, push a button and it will deep clean your carpets. The vacuum/steam cleaner needs 2AA batteries and comes with remote. Four hours of recharge time will give you 2 continuous hrs. of operation. Check with Hanulkid for price and availability.
