CES 2007: WowWee's Robopanda and FlyTech Dragonfly
WowWee really are excelling themselves at CES this year, the Tech Digest team are not only impressed with the Elvis-bot they’re showing, but the chaps who brought us the Robosapien back in the day have recently given us a sneak peek at a couple of their new products. Firstly, the sweet-as-apple-pie Robopanda has a head-mounted IR sensor, stereo sound, a fair amount of advanced sensors, and the best thing, it also reads bedtime stories, enabling it to be not only toddler-friendly, but busy-parent friendly as well. The next best thing in the line-up is the FlyTech Dragonfly, apparently the ‘world’s first radio-controlled flying insect’, which has 150 feet of wireless range, and can fly for 10 minutes, before needing a charge-up.

CES 2007: Pioneer's cheap-as-chips single CD player lines
Perhaps not of interest to us London-dwelling public-transport using folk, those who rely on their cars for transport will be pleased to note that Pioneer, the leaders in in-car audio, have announced a new line of video, navigation, and audio products which will hopefully be affordable for all. Featuring two new audio/video players, 14 car stereos, and a couple of in-dash navigation systems, there’s something that will suit every form of commuter. The new single-CD player lines start at just $100, and work alongside your mobile phone, so when it rings, the stereo will instantly mute, allowing the call to be easily answered. The players have XM/Sirius support on all models, and are compatible with all music devices available, through USB connectivity, Bluetooth compatibility, Direct iPod control, and auxiliary inputs.
