CES 2009 hits off!



CES 2009 has finished and is looking very good indeed...

Suitcases that climb stairs, taps with gearshifters, a new Palm phone, and Wi-Fi on freakin everything...
And here is my list of the best hits: (Many thatnks to Crave for their comprehensive coverage)

1. Motorola finally releases a smartphone. Yay! It's Windows Mobile. Booo!
2. A Mad Catz joystick that not only looked like the Terminator had dropped his pants, but also has 11 programmable buttons...
3. PLenty of manufacturers announcing Tablet-style Netbooks. Oooooooooh...
4. 300,000 dollar stereos and 1,400 dollar headphones. Lotto, here i come!
5. Wi-Fi Blu-Ray players with Profile 2.0 Compatability, stream functions and connections to Netflix.
6. Wireless Laptop Monitors. About Time
7. Camcorders with Wi-Fi and even a web browser. Who said you couldn't do it, and who said you didn't need it? Of course you need the Net on your camcorder
8. Sony's little tiny little small, miniature little tiny little Vaio. How small can we get? Still no match for Sony's original mini-Tablet sliding Vaio...
9. Keyboards that have little robotic thingummies on them so they move around while you type. Cool. Sort of.


Number one hit, which also happens to be number one Gimmick:
The LG Watch Phone


1.43 inch touch screen, stereo bluetooth, text-to-speech, and everyone who uses one think they are a spy but is actually an absolute dickhead...
