CES 2008: All your singing Mr Clock Radio robots are belong to us
Meet Mr Clock Radio. Made by Geewiz Entertainment, he claims to be the world's first "animated robotic alarm clock radio". And that just about describes all you need to know. He has 30 different ways of waking you up, some of which involve singing. Watch the video above for a taster.
CES 2008: DOSS Wireless iPod Speakers
Some of the best stuff we’ve seen at CES so far has been far from the madness of the main halls and the major players with their new phones, digital bloody photo frames and iPod docks. And yet, as you might reasonably point out, this is also an iPod…
CES 2008: Samsung’s giant French Door fridge – a breakthrough in late-night snacking technology
Samsung has proudly unveiled its latest French Door refrigerator here at CES. This behemoth easily outstrips all other French Door style units to offer the largest storage capacity of its kind in the market, at a whopping 29 CUBIC FEET. You could probably lose a whole child in that.
CES 2008: The Philips Streamium, now with internet radio
An updated Philips Streamium has been revealed at CES, with the added extra of internet radio. So now not only can you rip music and stream it around your house, you can also pick up obscure radio channels and play them to your neighbours too. Susi shows off the kit below…
CES 2008: Samsung's 3D-ready Plasma television
It's not CES without someone looking like an idiot in gaming glasses or riding horse simulators. This year, Susi tested out the first 3D-ready plasma television from Samsung. It looks a bit odd without the glasses on, but she assures…
CES 2008: Samsung unveils more Bluetooth-enabled Home Theatre goodies
I am loving Samsung’s decision to slap Bluetooth into absolutely everything this year. The HT-X710 is another compact 2.1 virtual surround system, designed to match Samsung’s latest sexy looking HDTVs with A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth included. The built-in DVD player will also upscale your movies to 1080p resolution.
CES 2008: Panasonic Link to Cell
Panasonic Link to Cell is one of those ‘I can’t believe nobody’s done this before’ products, leading me to think someone probably has done it before. The $99 gadget will redirect calls to a cellphone through to its landline phone, meaning you no longer need to keep your mobile in your pocket when you’re at home. This is probably most useful if you live in an area with bad network coverage in certain parts of your house, or if (like my entire family) you never seem to hear your mobile when you’re at home…
CES 2008: Sony's OLED 3mm thin televisions
They might be small, but Sony’s OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) televisions are definitely perfectly formed. With a ridiculously tiny 3mm thickness, it’s a bit like putting your telly on a piece of paper. The 11 inch screens are available to consumers already, and Susi shows them off in the video under the cut. There was also a prototype model with a slightly larger screen on show at CES, but considering these babies come it at almost $2,500, it may be a while before we see that one on sale in the US, let alone the UK…
CES 2008: Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX USB with 7" Mini-Me monitor
Isn’t it annoying when you try to hook up a monitor to your PC, only to discover that – gosh darn it – you haven’t got any video outputs? Well Samsung has you covered; the SyncMaster 2263DX is capable of connecting via USB “without the need for any additional video hardware”. Admittedly, we’ve struggled to think of a single occasion when this has actually happened to us, but after a bit of brain storming we realised that this could be brilliant for laptop users who don’t have a VGA output on their machines.
CES 2008 Roundup: Monday
Oh. My. God. I’m slightly disbelievingly putting this post together and realising that we’ve published more than SIXTY posts on Tech Digest today. And we’re still sitting here with bags of other stuff ready to go. So this is an attempt to sort through it all.
