CES

on the door? what's all the rhyming for? I'm not sure what for, but for sure you'll like what Google has in store! The floor of CES has brought forth some interesting snapshots of the new Google Talk. Google is expected to release a new version soon which will have buddy icon ability and will be interoperable with AOL's AIM service (see photos here).

I always loved visiting the planetarium as a kid, with the SkyScout, the planetarium comes home with you! Includes software, USB connectivity, and SD slot expandability so that the fun is virtually endless. Even though no price is set, I'm putting one of these on my wish list and you can see it at CES in Las Vegas if you are able to make it.

rg for not only descriptions of products but you can also take an audio tour with CES podcasts made possible by Yahoo podcasts. CES is notorious for showing off the coolest new gadgets coming down the pipe and this year looks to be no exception.

Remember back in 2004 when photos were snapped at CES of the PSP camera accessory? The blogosphere and gamers alike were all alight with anticipation - at the time the idea of having a camera on your PSP was more exciting than words could say. Why Sony hasn't released the PSP camera here in the states is beyond me, but thank heavens for Play-Asia.

Lexar E-ink USB Thumbdrive Lexar has released their Lexar Jumpdrive Mercury, which has been eagerly anticipated since being announced at CES earlier this year.It is the first USB thumb drive to show how much space you have in the thumb drive, at all times.

If you think this watch is pretty cool, you're not alone. Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications was just named as an International CES Best of Innovations 2007 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree specifically for this MBW-100 Bluetooth watch.

Touted to be the largest ever consumer TV to date, you get a massive 1103 diagonal viewing area that is way larger than Panasonics 1033 plasma TV which was paraded at CES 2007 earlier this year in Las Vegas. Not only that, the HD110-MH80 also surpasses Sharps 1083 LCD behemoth, giving the owner of this HDTV bragging rights for the moment - at least until a 1203 version is released sometime down the near future.

When we did our hands on of the the Lifebook U810 last month, I didn't really think it would get as much attention as it has in the last few days. Charlie, winner of the CES PC Building race two years straight, says its the smallest Laptop at IDF.

The problem we had with buying a whole bunch of backup laptop batteries for CES and liveblogging was that we could only charge them inside the laptops themselves. This means waking up in the middle of the night and swapping batteries, which totally ruins snuggling time with Travis and Mark.

From the department of redundancy department, Microvision has announced today that they will be unveiling (announcing) a prototype miniature digital projector at CES next week. This projector is small (see picture above) and is designed to fit in handheld electronic device such as cellphones, PDAs or other multimedia gadgets.

Possibly designed for folks looking to keep their existing head unit but add XM capabilities, the unit can be flush-mounted permanently if you're down with keeping the same tuner for the life of your vehicle. Regardless, the new CommanderMT should be hitting stores not too long after CES concludes, so be sure to click on through for a few more pics.

Enter Engadget Software! We thought a few of these might be useful with CES coming up and all, so check 'em out.Developers: the proposition is simple.

This all especially rings false since Mr. Harari seemed plenty miffed by the music industry's stance on DRM at his recent CES press conference, stating that he hoped the industry was coming around.

Jan 7th 2007 12:53PM by Chris ZieglerFiled under: Cellphones, CES, Portable VideoWait wait wait, LG, let's be sure we have this straight: you've gone ahead and distributed pictures of the rumored 9400 with your CES press kit, but you make positively no mention of it in your press release. Didn't something just like this happen at CTIA with the VX8600? Either you've truly mastered the fine art of brilliant viral marketing, or you've accidentally announced yet another critical phone in Verizon's lineup early.
