CES 2008: Casio Exilim EX-Z80, EX-Z200, EX-Z100 and world's thinnest 10.1-megapixel camera, EX-S10
Casio Exilim digital cameras are definitely a Marmite product, with the division between lovers and haters almost as big as the HD format war. There’s three new additions to the Zoom range, with the EX-Z80 (pictured) featuring a 3x optical alongside 8.1-megapixels, then the EX-Z200 and EX-Z100 both containing 10.1-megapixels, wide-angle 28mm lens…
CES 2008: SanDisk's Cruzer USB gold pendants – pretty ain't they
Not too much to say about these – you are better off watching Shiny Alex's on the vid – but they are 1, gold, 2, cool in a retroey kind of way, 3, just prototypes. CES 2008 Special Read…
CES 2008: Erector / Meccano unveil three new Spyke robots (well, Spykee)
Spyke was one of the hits of last year’s CES, being a spy robot capable of trundling around the house recording video and streaming it to you over Wi-Fi. Trouble is, he never actually went on sale – makers Erector and Meccano delayed him to get the technology just right. He’s due out in September or October this year now, and has acquired an extra ‘e’ (he’s now called Spykee).
CES 2008: Blue Action's BAC100M Bluetooth watch – better than Sony Ericsson's appparently
Must admit don’t know much about Blue Action, but I do like the look of its Bluetooth watch. Due out in the US later this month (and hopefully in the UK later in the summer) the BAC-100M is according…
CES 2008: Robo-fun with the Clapping Penguin, Attacking Duck, and Probing Robot
I'm afraid I have very little information about any of these robots, other than they were on the stand of Robotis at CES today, and they've got comical names. I mean, it's not as if an Attacking Duck or a Clapping Penguin is going to put fear into the hearts of mankind when the robo-revolution comes. Although the Probing Robot sounds like he could be quite worrying.
CES 2008: First booth babe spotted!
And no, she’s not going to let you touch her gadgets. Find out just what she’s advertising after the jump….
CES 2008: Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker strums up a storm
This is the best gadget bar none at CES 2008. I'm telling you, it is. The Guitar Hero Air Guitar Rocker is a gadget from Jada Toys, it's out in March for $29.99 (with UK distribution following), and it lets you crank out fat air guitar riffs from Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Motorhead, Van Halen and Boston.
CES 2008: Get your hands on The Shaft Wii joystick
Look, I make no bones about being a juvenile man when it comes to things named after willies. Heh, I said bones. Etc etc. But yes, The Shaft is what this Wii arcade joystick is called. It’s designed to play virtual console games, and is bigger than the official Nintendo model, which its makers reckon makes it better for old-skool beat’em ups.
CES 2008: Skype coming to Slim and Lite PSPs
Confirming one of the more concrete rumours from last week – made all the more believable by the fact that Sony had itself mentioned it on its own CES page – Sony is demonstrating its upcoming Skype update for PSPs. A new firmware upgrade, expected to be arriving later this month, will include a full Skype system allowing for PSP to PSP calls, PSP to PC calls and PSP to normal phone calls as long as you have Skype credit, which you can purchase direct from the PSP software.
CES 2008: Razer Mako is a high-end desktop audio system
I bought my desktop speakers for about a fiver in Wilkinsons. No wonder everything in my iTunes library sounds tinny… A far better bet would be Razer’s new Mako 2.1 desktop speaker system, which goes on sale this month.
