CES 2008: More footage of the ace Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker
I've already raved about the Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker – it's a $29.99 gadget that lets you play air guitar to a bunch of top rawk tracks, cranking out the riffs as you wave its guitar pick in front of the special belt buckle.
CES 2008: Microsoft confirms open to idea of Blu-ray drive for Xbox 360
It’s tempting to see every positive news development for Blu-ray as another nail in the coffin of HD DVD at the moment, which is simplifying the format war somewhat. But it’s a fact that Microsoft is key to any chance that HD DVD will survive, so the news that the company hasn’t ruled out releasing a Blu-ray drive for Xbox 360 will certainly cause a few ripples.
VibraExciter turns your iPhone into a vibrator… for men!
There are several features lacking from iPhone, including 3G and video recording. Oh, and it doesn’t come with a buzzing cock-ring attached, which is a pretty serious omission. Thankfully, LoveHoney has stepped into the breach, with its new VibraExciter Mobile Phone Sex Toy for Men.
CES 2008: NoPoPo are AA batteries powered by water, beer or your own pee
Sadly, Tech Digest’s battery correspondent isn’t at CES this year, so it’s fallen to me to ferret out the latest in AA energy technology. It’s called NoPoPo, which stands for Non Pollution Power. Japanese firm Aqua Power System is behind it.
CES 2008 Roundup: Tuesday
It’s the end of Day Two proper at CES, and Team Shiny has fanned out across the various halls to ferret out the most important products (and a fair few fun ones too).

CES 2008: Zoom around on a pair of iShoes
By rights, iShoes should be trainers with iPod docks built in. They’re not though. Instead, they’re motorised wheely things that strap onto your actual shoes, and let you roll around at an impressive 13.5 mph.
CES 2008: The 25 coolest cars at CES
There’s an entire hall devoted to in-car stuff at CES, complete with many cars showcasing the exhibitors’ kit. If you want detailed specs and information, you’ll have to go to a proper motorblog – it’s all about the CarPorn photos here. See below for my pick of the coolest 25 motors at the show.

CES 2008: Logisys shows off ace neon PC mod
Logisys has a vision. That vision is to turn PCs into spangly neon boxes of joy, through the use of CCFL and LED lighting, as well as transparent casing.
CES 2008: Trust makes tiny Bluetooth 2.0 USB adapter
And I mean tiny: check it out. No, I don’t have giant freakthumbs. Trust International is showing it off at CES. And, er, there isn’t much more I can say about it until they release pricing and availability details. But still, innit small, eh?
CES 2008: Lachiya's touchable piggy iPod dock wins our hearts
There are too many iPod docks and not enough hours in the day at CES to cover them all, so we’d rather focus on the cool ones. Especially if they’re shaped like pigs and come in bright colours. Tech manufacturers, there’s a lesson there for next time.
