As one of the more than 140,000 attendees at CES, I sometimes feel as if I were a lemming to go with the flow from one sample to another mainly because of fear throughout the show were. If there is a consistent theme that was to be centered on the concept of digital recording. It was obvious, the networking of devices in the style of life and environments for the workplace, home and car.
Microsoft impressive show illustrates the concept of interconnection with the bestPresentations and exhibits will be to integrate their software and services.
HP and other booths shows how digital technology can be used in any room of your home, for convenience, comfort, productivity, safety and fun. Many exhibitors have addressed only some aspects of the possibilities of integration. For example, there were many booths at home security and remote control of devices such as sprinklers, garage doors dedicatedHeating / air conditioning, Jacuzzi, pool, lighting, cameras and more. Some embedded systems, including the use of a Windows Mobile device as a remote control.
A room for high-definition TV dedicated to video mobile applications, sounds, games and assembly systems. With the introduction of widescreen HDTV, a new style of furniture and interior design has, along with the home theater with special seats, audio systems, installation and considerations of connectivity.
ForSo, I think I would my money on Blu-ray set as the winner of the HD format war. Unless, of course, has laid by the time the dust, it is not entirely new format.
There was a lot of games with special controllers and furniture. Considering the cacophony, which seems out of the cabin air guitar the most popular, but it is not lost to the world of handheld computers - Well, really. Hands-On Mobile in San Diego, CA, offers Guitar Hero Mobile.
TheThe car is definitely a new approach and a non-profit center for the integration of digital technology. Ford and Microsoft have teamed up to offer voice recognition, Bluetooth and GPS. For many years, Ford offers the Sirius Satellite Radio to unite, but now change the features of MSN as a breakdown service, real-time traffic and road conditions, gas prices, routes and location.
The president of General Motors has a Keynote presentation, indicating that GM has a few tricks, hisovereat. The rest of the automotive world is not far.
What amuses me, however, is that all these "new" features some of my close to the cars for years, thanks to my good old Windows Mobile devices with a peripheral year. But I assume that the average person, a simple approach to deal with everything already built integration preference.
Mobile Computing Devices
While I was trying to take everything, I'm sure I lost some smart things because there wasall so overwhelming. However, I try on two things: a new focus on Windows Mobile devices and UMPCs too.
I have some new Windows Mobile 6 devices, I thoroughly after receipt of the evaluation review of Asus, Samsung, HP, Motorola and Verizon. I was surprised that some new devices have been announced or released for the series. I'm not sure what HTC is doing, and was never able to reach it, but they are increasingly the mouth, now it workswith the transportation and marketing under its own name. Collect defined to include the latest versions of the Q9h Motorola, Samsung, and a new power shi760 iPaq Windows Mobile 6 Classic version included.
Since my article on UMPC first arose a few years ago I was just whether I would survive. Although we do not and do not replace the Pocket PC, have certainly created a respectable place in the market. I was glad to see some new modelsavailable.
I will drive from Samsung and Asus for the study and its shares my results soon. Suffice it to say that now belongs to the two companies on user input and responds appropriately. We can expect to develop a lot of improvements and innovations in this platform further.
Apart from major brands like Sony, Panasonic, and so hundreds of stalls at the Hilton Hotel and fewer places wannabees Sands Producer shall have been severalTreasures, but you have to dig for them. So I found a few of the major manufacturers of Windows Mobile devices and UMPCs is some really innovative, they get the review as well.
As for the pocket device to our dear friends, I have a few gems that are part of the backpack is.
Hands-Free Driving and Music
I am always on the lookout for a good Bluetooth headsets and headphones. I have both cars Jabra. My favorite is the Jabra BT8030Speakerphone and Bluetooth headset. This is the first time the combination is unique in the market. You can remove the headphones, turn off switch, and his release of the speakers with Power Bass Zire environment for a sound full and rich. It is a necessity in my package of mobile telephony.
My only criticism of this otherwise brilliant product is that it can be downloaded via a USB port. However, you can expect up to 32 hours for listening to music on a single charge and up to600 hours standby time. The suggested retail price of just under 11 grams the weight is $ 250, but look around and probably even better.
I'm not always fall on the search for a comfortable BT headset to my ear, that the light and not too bad. Jabra has come to the rescue again with his new Jx20 Pura, a small titanium and sleek device designed by Jacob Jensen, the famous Danish designer. Weighs less than the beak of a bird, so do not even know it's there.You can listen to music with him, not even when they talk on the phone.
The charge is a work of art to decorate your desktop. We can expect up to six hours of talk time and can be downloaded by car or via USB and AC. The sound quality is excellent, and there is no automatic volume control.
This elegant unit is more than $ 179, what kind of "strong, because you can buy a Bluetooth headset to a minimum of $ 30 is expensive, but you get whatYou pay.
Mobile video is more than ever
One of my favorite applications, everything is always better. I can not imagine my life without my Slingbox and SlingPlayer for Windows Mobile devices that can see me with TV Live TV and recorded my favorite shows anywhere in the world with no monthly fees.
The reason, they say, is better than ever with the recent launch of Pro-HD, Full HD, you can monitor, video streaming and access to multiple sources. You can use it toHD video streaming on your home computer or laptop. Odyssey will be available shortly and will have access to their home-video output from a video site to enable the Internet.
SlingPlayer 2.0 with Clip + Sling is now an application to take with you and short video clips, fun and very useful. Sling Media Congratulations to one of the most innovative companies in the digital world.
Video Glasses
I have the choiceFavorite MyVu.com at CES, a video display solution for handheld devices. While the company seems to depend on the iPod, but also provides a universal viewer that is with all output devices to portable video work. What you get for $ 199 is a pair of glasses that projects video output, as if look at a screen of 27 inches. This is a wonderful concept, but I'm not sure, but what you project. It "was such a hell of a noise in the cabin was no satisfactoryReply.
My experience is that the seeing of the image small, isolated, look, does not mean, and low resolution. It could be that you did not see the game on a level with respect to production, but what I saw left a lot to be desired.
Well, if you use the screen output of your Windows Mobile device and everything that could be seen displayed in the same resolution, which would appear in the palm, this is a gadget that is really worth.
Crystal offers My.Vu 701,The stylish furnishings EyeWire hands free, headset, and a display with VGA resolution and a rechargeable battery with up to 4 USB is the first time.
It is also the model of 301 colors with umbrellas and 10 hours after the prime time. You can also Edge301, a compact headset display and a rechargeable battery 4 hours. Check it out at www. myvu.com.
When I show the progress, I realized that there are other similar devices. IndeedThere are many competitors in this market, but none is as Myvu determined. Another competitor, that a good solution seemed to Vuzix, a business, consumer video lenses, medical devices produced for consumption and sale of military tactics.
VR920 The unit a 62 "screen is simulated, but it costs $ 399.95. The final model will cost $ 999.00. What a great way to add the mini-screen handheld device is improved. Obviously this is a program that Windows expands the boundaries of the drinkSmall screens of mobile devices.
Mobile Scanning and Printing
I recently submitted an article for the magazine Smartphone and Pocket PC into some of the tools that we recommend for mobile productivity. I quoted a portable scanner and printer I am trying to avoid running when you know for sure is necessary. That was before the ESC and my discovery of a pair of incredible products Planon DocuPen with its small and printers.
I almost missed out on this machine, as I my eyes to a robot Luxurythrough the hall, when a beautiful woman asked me whether I had heard of a DocuPen. He waved, it could be a high-tech in my magic wand, Harry Potter would be proud to own. Seemed a little "spring high.
The event I have been flying over from all that has to be done any document or graphic made, and was a little "black and white, grayscale or color 24th
Includes PaperPort scan software, weighs 1.75 ounces, runs on rechargeableLithium-ion batteries and includes a micro-SD expansion card for additional storage space. Universal Mobile Charger is an accessory for a maximum of 55 places where a power source is not good.
The connection with the DocuPen Printstik PS900 via Bluetooth, and is a powerful mobile solution. Of course you can also e-mail a scanned image on your Windows Mobile device if you want to use in a PowerPoint presentation or e-mail. Of course, you can use images that are already on your mobile devicetoo.
The Print Stick is only 1 "x 1.9" x 11 "and weighs 1.9 kilograms, including thermal paper and the ink cartridge. Prints up to 3 pages per minute in 8.5" wide leaves. An ink cartridge 20 8.5 x 11 inch pages. Power options include AC 120-240 DC 12/24V and rechargeable lithium-ion.
Suggested retail price is $ 299 per unit. Extras. In any case, this combination could be worth its weight in gold on the road in emergency situations. ILady glad he left his magic wand over me and I will not turn into a pumpkin. Check it out at http://www.planon.com.
MagicJack
I did a little "amazing device to share with you that I have noticed, if not exactly in the hand. Magic Jack is a VoIP solution is unique. Everyone has heard of Skype and Vonage, no doubt, but magicJack comes with a completely new approach for VoIP. Imagine a little box about the size of a matchbox with Strike AnywhereUSB connector on the extension of her.
Connect the USB port of a PC, connect a standard analog phone to the other end, and begin to talk. Local calls and long distance calls are free. This phone is equipped with all the bells and whistles, which are provided by an expensive landline phone account, such as voice mail waiting, call waiting and caller ID. It is also the call forwarding enabled for the phone calls that may justify their inclusion in this article are diverted, I think.
The only costs involvedis to buy the device for $ 39.95, which includes the first year of service. With each account, you get to call a real phone number that people in the usual manner to any phone from any location. Then it will be $ 19.95 per year, month, year. Never pay the phone company again!
