There’s been a lot of news about gadgets, technologies, and the all mighty touch screen coming from bloggers and journalists alike at CES 2008. I would love to be there, but spending my one of my three (or is it four?) week vacations at geek-fest in Vegas instead of working on my tan?… Probably worth it, but I totally didn’t plan.
Well, after some much drooling and asking some invisible God force why I got left out of the experience, here are some of my favorites:
.
There seems to be much in store for the PSP, including game sample downloads and a lot more portable content coming out way… maybe it’s time I plugged the thing in for a system update. That and a better keyboard. … but wait! There might be a Blu-ray to PSP movie transfer in the future? w00t!

82-inches of love, baby and in 3840 x 2160 resolution? Sign me up!

From cnet:
“Philips’ Eco TV sips power, saves rainforest“
“…Dimming the backlight in darker scenes has the dual benefit of saving power and improving black-level performance, according to the company.”
Riiiiight. Call me skeptical, but is Philips just crying green? No doubt a dimmer backlight helps with “black-level” performance, but energy saving? How much energy? Rainforest saving
.
What’s this? Well it’s a computer with an Intel Core Duo 1.66GHz CPU with 1GB of RAM, a 120GB hard drive, a DVD-ROM/CDRW drive, radio interface, 24-bit digital-to-analog converters for sound, Dolby Digital 7.1 optical output, USB/SD/auxiliary jack ports, Bluetooth, GPS, and mayhaps Wi-fi…
Finally!
And with that much memory, you don’t even have to say, “Where the ipod dock?”
Only bad news: it runs on Vista.

A bed that lulls you to sleep… See what Michelle Thatcher has to say.
.
pimp your car with 21 speakers and 16 LCDs…yeah…

Okay, I’m all gadgeted out. I’ve already read some great coverage of a vid cam with built in hard drive that easily fits into a large pocket, some news about the Rokr by Motorola that has some amazing touch screen capabilities, and then the IdeaPad… but really no more from me today.
byeeeee
