CES 2008: Never get up from your pool lounger again, thanks to the RC Cooler
There’s really nothing better than lazing around in the sun next to your pool with an ice cold beer. Or at least I’m fairly sure there isn’t – but then I live in a third floor flat in Scotland, which pretty much rules out ‘pools’ and ‘sun’ all at once. One thing I definitely don’t like doing is hauling my lazy arse out of a chair to go and find more beer, which is why the Interactive Toy Concepts RC Cooler looks fantastic.
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: $50,000 to spare? The Burmester 069 CD player is awaiting you
I consider myself a serious music buff – I still buy vinyl, keep my CDs in order and spend a significant amount on the kit to play it all. But even if my numbers came up on the Lotto, I would find it hard to part with $50,000 (£25,000) on a CD player.

No prizes for guessing where the HBH-PV712 Style Edition Bluetooth headset is being pitched, with Sony Ericsson claiming it is ‘every woman’s must-have handbag accessory.’
CES 2008: Impecca WiFi picture frames accesses your photos from afar
Digital Photo frames are another staple of CES, although having been utterly bowled over by the stunning intensity of Sony’s little OLED screens, I wonder how long the traditional LCD digital picture frames are going to keep up. But now that LCD frames have been lurking around for a fair old while, they’re starting to enjoy some really powerful connectivity options. The latest set from Impecca, which makes a fair few digital frames, along with iPod docks and portable DVD players, offer WiFi access and the ability to stream pictures from the internet.
CES 2008: Daisy by Intempo – the first portable low-power internet/FM radio
Intempo has launched Daisy, claimed to be the world’s first portable low-power internet /FM radio.
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: VIDEO OF BILL GATES DANCING AT ROCKAOKE!
Ok, so it’s not really Bill Gates. We’re not privileged enough to be allowed in on his and Melinda’s Guitar Hero sessions, sadly, but last night we wound up in a bar holding a rockaoke night, and this chap looked so much like a younger Bill Gates…
CES 2008: 10-in-1 Wii sports family pack
From the makers of the Wii boxing gloves comes the 10-in1 sports family pack, containing pretty much all the cheap knock-off Wii accessories you could possibly wish for. Sure, they may not be of particularly stunning quality – as the crazy angle of the official photos makes seems to imply – but just look how many you get in there!
