CES 2009: Video close-up of the Sony Vaio P Series
If the talk this year at CES 2009 has been about any one piece of hardware, it’s been the Sony Vaio P Series non-netbook UMPC. We’d be doing you a serious diservice if we hadn’t sent Susi down to take a closer, more camcodered look at the the full size keyboard, 8″ LCD really expensive machine. So, we did…
CES 2009: Star Wars iPhone accessories
I was convinced my love for Star Wars was over years ago but a chance encounter with a table full of Trilogy themed cases for the iPhone and iPod touch made me think twice at CES 2009.
They’ll be out in all good iPhone accessory shops…
CES 2009: Motorola A3100 Surf – 5-megapixels and a touchscreen
There's a saying at Motorola that they never met a operating system they didn't like. Mercifully, the Motorola Surf or A3100, depending upon whether you're man or machine, works on a sensible if not particularly my favourite platform.
Zara took a look at the Windows 6.1, touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera…
CES 2009: Sonoro Eclipse & Elements W – upgrades to the dock/radio family
The benefit of owning a Sonoro dock is that you don’t have to hate yourself. They actually look and sound pretty good. Two of the upgrades from CES 2009 are the Eclipse eDock and the Elements W internet radio…
CES 2009: The Fat Lady from Morel – the speaker that sings
There was a chap sitting next to me on the plane on the way out here from a company named Morel. It didn’t surprise me that he turned out to be a CES 2009 exhibitor of a high end audio product after he pulled out a pair of electrostatic membrane in-ear headphones to plug into his arm rest. What did surprise me was that his product, The Fat Lady, won an award for innovation here at Vegas and, fortunately, I had a few hours for it to be explained to me in detail, and this is how it goes…
There’s two reasons why these loudspeakers are called The Fat Lady. The obvious one is that they’re shaped like the curves of a voluptuous woman. What’s more the drive units were made in house to make sure the output matched and perfectly compliemented the cabinet shape and acoustics. The second reason, however, is the more important of the two…
CES 2009: Samsung brings Blu-ray to the sound bar with the HT-BD8200
Right, this is defintely the last time I’m writing the word Samsung today and that’s only because the HT-BD8200 is the first and only sound bar to include a Blu-ray player. What is it with them and Blu-ray…
CES 2009: Four compacts from Samsung – HZ10W, TL100, SL102 & SL420
Glad to see Samsung didn’t forget simple stills photography today with the launch of four compact cameras for the world to papp with. The SL102 and SL420 are 10.2-megapixel additions to the familiar SL range but it’s the 16.6mm thin TL100 and the 24mm ultra wide, 10x mega zoom HZ10W…
CES 2009: Samsung P3 MP3 player
Samsung has launched something much less expensive at CES 2009 than everything of theirs mentioned so far. This is their take on the iPod touch known as the P3. See, it’s like mp3 but without the m. Clever, huh? No, not really.
The P3 is 0.39″ thick…
CES 2009: Camcorders go solid state with the 64GB SSD Samsung HMX-H106
Samsung has pulled another exclusive out the bag but for how long is another question. Among their fleet of camcorders just announced is the flagship Samsung HMX-H106 which is the first to feature a 64GB SSD, slightly depressingly giving it more storage than any hardware I own.
All this space means that you can record up to a staggering 12 hours of footage…
CES 2009: Samsung get wall mount fever with the first attachable BD-P4600 Blu-ray player
Alongside the glut of screens and assorted boxed up circuitry, Samsung announced the slightly bizarre but rather attractive wall mountable BD-P4600 Blu-ray player. Funnily enough, it’s the first wall mountable Blu-ray player largely because most normal people aren’t interested in stapling all appliance to their masonry. What’s next? The kettle? The 1″ microwave?…
