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: Toshiba's thin bezel on Cinema series gets the hands-test
Just how thin are the bezels on Toshiba’s new Cinema series TVs?
Well, we know the specs, that the bezel is the world’s thinnest…
CES 2008: Samsung Infolink television with USA today RSS feeds on screen
Susi's lethargy is obviously setting in as she looks at the Samsung Infolink television. Our quote of the trip so far has to be "anyway, there's stuff," which actually sums up this television pretty well. It's got an ethernet connection built in which allows the telly to connect to the internet…but don't get too excited, it doesn't allow you to surf the web, but pulls in RSS feeds on stocks, news and weather and displays them on screen. In the US the service is provided by USA Today, and a UK partnership should be revealed very soon…
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: Toshiba's arty 'world's highest capacity 2.5" external hard drive', the 320GB-er
Toshiba’s been kicking around the mobile storage industry for a good few years now, so it’s refreshing to see them update their line with something visually appealing, and also with a worthy claim. Yep, it’s another ‘World’s most…’ product.
Take a deep breath – these 320GB HDDs are the world’s highest-capacity 2.5″ storage device. Not as impressive…
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: Hands on with the Sony Rolly dancing music player
We showed you a bit of Sony Rolly action earlier in our CES coverage, but here's a much more in-depth look at the gimmicky music player – see how to control volume and tracks by moving the device, and a…
