CES!
CES 2008 was pretty much off the hook this year. I did a TODAY Show hit on Monday, WATCH IT HERE, then on Tuesday I walked the floor where many things caught my eye. You can see VIDEO HERE from "View From The Bay" up in SF of some of the things I liked, or read about them below.
Samsung "Touch of Color Series #7" HDTV
This television has a "touch of color" around the perimeter allowing you to incorporate it into the color scheme of your room. The cool factor takes yet another step up with the built in RSS feed screen that can be pulled up over whatever you're watching transparently to give you info like weather, sports scores, news and more. Lovely , indeed!
Samsung DUO High Def DVD Player
OK, so by now you probably heard that the war is somewhat over between which format is going to dominate the next generation of DVD playback market. This means to me that I can get an entire DVD collection of HDVDs, the seeming looser in the battle, for a good price! While my new plethora of movies in in sight, I also want a player that will be able to play the winner's format, Blu-ray, and last me for years to come. The DUO plays HDDVDs, BluRay discs as well as regular DVDs!
Zoombak GPS Locator For Dogs and Cars
GPS location for the important things in your life was a hot trend this year. Zoombak is a company that makes device the works on advanced GPS technology with your cell and a satellite to bring up extremely accurate and fast location information. Attach the device to a dog with the comfy pouch or place the pager sized unit in your car. Go online and set up a safety zone. If the device goes outside of the zone you'll receive a text message saying that you've got some action! Get online and access a map that'll give you the devices' location within a 30 foot radius! You can also do an "on-demand" locate from your cell if you're not near a computer too!
Alpine EX-10 iPod Controller and Bluetooth Hands Free Kit
Looking for a way to incorporate your ipod and hands free calling into your car without having to pay for an after market install? This is the solution for you! Mount the LCD screen on your dash, clip the mic to your visor, plug in the power via the cigarette lighter, attach your iPod and you're set! Access all of your tunes as well as make and receive calls with the touch of a button on the remote. The menus are all iPodesque making on-the-go searching really easy.
My music sits on the computer in my bedroom, making my bedroom the only place I can access the files, until now! There are two components to this gadget. Attach one end to your speakers and the net. Attach the other end, which is a dock for the remote, to your music source. Once you're all set up and rocking you can play all of your music throughout your house as well as freely access the 10,000 radio stations that are online!
