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). The pick of today’s posts follow, with all the others after the jump. Right, we’re off for some indie-dancing at the Mirage’s Revolution bar, if anyone fancies it…
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.
1. (above) For some reason this makes me think of Star Wars.
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.
CES 2008: Punch with some proper Wii boxing gloves
While wandering around the Sands hall at CES today, I bumped into a Chinese company called Shenzhen Koonhome Technology, who were showing off some Wii accessories. The most quirky was the Wii Boxing Gloves.
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.
NOT CES 2008: Exclusive video of what WON'T be in Las Vegas this year
Hey everyone. What with all the talk of this “CES” thing that’s going on at the moment, I thought I’d give you an EXCLUSIVE look at a few of the products that won’t be on the show floor this year.
I’ll be revealing a two-year-old TV with NO HDMI sockets on it whatsoever, a six-year-old games console and a literally ancient digital cable box that’s definitely NOT rocking the crowds at the Vegas Convention Centre right now.
You won’t see these anywhere else! (apart from maybe at a dump or really poor friend’s house).
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.
