We were lounging around the Intel area and saw this big collection of Mobile Internet Devices. These things are so weird we could barely tell what’s new and what’s years old, but we did spot the freshly-announced OQO 2+ and decided to give it a spin. There were guys standing around it so we picked up a Willcom D4 first for comparison. → Read More
What’s the quickest way to kill any momentum you might have built up in the past 24 hours, Palm? How about pricing the Pre at $399, as this rumor currently zipping around the Internet suggests? A Russian, who is apparently Mr. Credible for having reported on the death of the RAZR 3, says that Palm will price the Pre at $399 when it launches on Sprint in a few months. That’s $100 $200… → Read More
Anybots new robot, the QA can be controlled remotely over Wi-Fi and 3G. So you can use the robot as an interface to communicate with people. This way you don’t need to go near them. Not any more. → Read More
Watch as Doug destroys every other blog and magazine participating in the Comp USA/Tiger Charity PC Race. He’s in slot #3 and will be competing against 29 other losers. The live feed will begin shortly so please be patient. → Read More
The gear these Austrian ladies are selling is pretty cool. It’s a bunch of straps and bags for all your gadgets that wrap around your body like a bandolier. But what are they called? I’m glad you asked. → Read More
We heard about Psyko a week or so ago, and they won accolades for innovation, producing a pair of surround-sound headphones that’s using a totally different kind of technology. Essentially the sound is produced in five separate drivers above your head, then guided down pipes to your ears.
They’re untraditional in every way, and I just wish I could have tried them out in a quiet room instead of… → Read More
Ahoy, space ninjas! We present to you the iTouchless Trashcan SX, a space saving version of my favorite robotic trash can in the world. This model has a lid that folds in on itself instead of flipping up, ensuring you don’t get your hand smacked by the trash can lid. → Read More
I totally wanted to hug this little hug machine! Also, it has a hole in its mouth to allow for the insertion of a charger but, and this is only for those so inclined, I could imagine some other potentially illegal uses for said hole. Just saying.
Video after the jump. → Read More
Man, I saw these back at PAX but for some reason never brought them up. Which is too bad, because they’re pretty cool. I love the little in-line remote that lets you control the volume for individual surround channels. They sounded good back at PAX, but as I note in the video, there were a ton of dudes around when I was there so I didn’t try them on again.
They’re gonna have a ton of different… → Read More
Did I call it or what? This is, at the moment, the first and only mobile phone with TI’s DLP pico projector technology. It will ship later this month in Korea but we’ll have to wait until later this year to see if Samsung decides to ship it Stateside. As you’ll see in the video the device is capable of projecting all sorts of content at a decent resolution. Rather than blabbing on about it, I’ll… → Read More
Hey! Memorize Every Wonderful Moment With AEE Cool Recording Gadget! It is Very Small. It Support USB 2.0. It only 55mm tall! It has LED Indicator. You Can Mount It Anywhere. But the Absolutely Best Thing About it? → Read More
IOGEAR announced a wireless USB audio/video adapter today. Seems like it could be interesting. → Read More
So these things are basically headphones designed to output up to and only up to 85 decibels. You plug them in and no matter how high the device is set, your child will be listening at a level safe enough for everyday use and that won’t damage their hearing accidentally. → Read More
CES is filled with gadgets and gizmos that are known about months ahead of time and so the real jewels are the booths from previously unknown companies. Case in point is Touch Revolution and its sweet NIMble platform that is ran by *gasp* Android. → Read More
Well, maybe not the biggest ever (Tekken on IMAX!) or the most original, but with all its chromoly-steel construction and tubey good looks, I just had to put it up. I’d like bigger screens, personally, and they were playing a kind of lackluster racer, but the device itself was cool. The wheel is Logitech and the pedals… I’m not sure, but there were three and they were big and metal, so it… → Read More
Now here’s something that will end up at the bottom of the toybox next Christmas. The Mindflex lets you control a floating ball around a little obstacle course. Air bumps and pops the ball through hoops and tubes and ends up frustrating you more than anything else. → Read More
HP finally came clean on its Firebird midsize gaming rig and we just spent a few minutes with the liquid-cooled machine. It seems that HP had the traveling gamer in mind as it’s light enough to lug between LAN parties thanks to its laptop components. But don’t forget that Gideon Bible-sized power brick. Overall though, it’s a hot little rig that’s sure to make all the nerdy LAN chicks giddy. → Read More
We’ll be meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada tonight at 9pm at the Casino Royale hotel. If you’re in Las Vegas and want to come by for a little bit of camaraderie and drinkie drinkie. You should just look for a bunch of drunk fat people but I’ll tweet our actual location around 9pm. → Read More
The CES posts have been coming out like machine gun bullets at CrunchGear, so much so that even we can’t keep track of them. But that doesn’t mean you should miss the highlights, hands-ons, and sneak peeks that have been going on all day here in Vegas on the first day on the show floor. Here are a few noteworthy posts from today:
We got hands-on with:
Last night Greg Kumparak and I had the pleasure of interviewing the Dr. Dre of NWA fame. Jimmy Iovine from Interscope, Noel and Kevin Lee from Monster were also present. Our video isn’t quite finished yet, but we’ll have it up soon. We asked Dre a couple questions like what his favorite gadgets were, what he thought of DRM and what he’s working on now. But you’ll have to wait for the interview. In… → Read More
Here’s a little demo of the SanDisk Sansa slotRadio player that we reported earlier. The basic gist is a $99 player loaded up with 1000 songs spanning various genres. You can also buy genre-specific microSD cards for $39.99 that come with 1000 songs too → Read More
The Asus Core i7-powered ROG was all by itself at the CES Asus booth but for good reason. This thing is a F’n beast! It’s massive and must weigh a metric ton. The Asus booth monkey wouldn’t open the case for some reason despite my persistent asking and joking. Even still, it’s a gigantic, massive, huge, gaming machine that probably has it’s own weather climate. → Read More
That great watch/phone we saw a few weeks back is here at CES. I got my hands on it last night but they made me turn off the video for some secret screens that nobody can see. Still, it’s all there on video and it looks great. The light was really awful, though. We’ll have more later, of course. Click on through for the vids. → Read More
Hmmm. CES Box lunch. Hopefully the Big Daddy Roast Beef tastes as good as it sounds… → Read More
Netbook, notebook, call it whatever you want — the MSI X320 is slick city, my main man. Here’s a hands-on video and some photos of the device, plus info about pricing and availability. → Read More
