CES 2008: Comprehensive Robot Roundup


We had a wail of a time at CES 2008, but we were not the only ones. The various robots on display were also going nuts at the convention. We have rounded them all up in this excellent video, showing you the neat robotics that we thought were worthy of a video shout out. Hit the clip to see them in action, and then read on for a full breakdown of all the droids featured. More »

Aaron Broder, Kid Reporter, Blitzes CES, Gets the Scoops

Meet Aaron Broder, the 14-year-old reporter and member of the Scholastic Kids Press Corps. He's covering CES from start to finish. Chaperoned by his mom, the resourceful young man convinced the CES suits to bend the "no one under 16, no exceptions" rule to grant him a press pass. Good move, because after all, there are millions of people his age who are tech experts (and who read Gizmodo), and it's about time they got some press representation. More »

Samsung Sticks With Rear-Screen Projectors, Shows New Series 6 and 7 Sets

The Skinny: Samsung remains unfazed by Sony's bailout of the rear-screen projector market, showing its Series 6 and Series 7 at CES 2008. The claim to fame of these big berthas? Huge screens for little moolaa, although Sammy isn't saying how much they will cost. The Series 6 will have a relatively slim cabinet for a rear-screener, and screen size choices in 50, 56, 61 and 72 inches (HL50A650, HL56A650, HL61A650). The 61-inch 67-inch Series 7 sets (Model numbers HL61A750 and HL67A750) use Samsung's LED DLP tech, and rocks a new version of its Cinema Pure color engine and power-saving Energy Star compliance. Both are available this spring. The Catch: Old tech, dying everywhere. Another pic and the press release, after the jump. More »

Latest by austek: I think the PhlatLight PT120 LED lighting for the new Samsung Slim RPTV range, such as the 61 inch HL-T6187S, makes them worth further thought. They certainly seem to be doing well in sales through Amazon. LED lighting more »

Harman Kardon Guide+Play GPS-500 Does Nav and HiFi

Harman Kardon has announced their GPS-500. This is a small GPS device that also has media functionality. This GPS unit includes a hi-fi music player (with FM transmitter), video player, 2GB of internal storage with optional SD expandability and support for MP3, MP4, WMA, ASF, WAV and OGG. The 4-inch touchscreen and software doesn't look too shabby, either—nice and clean. It will be hitting the shelves later this month for $500. – Travis Hudson

Buffalo LinkTheater Wireless Media Player

Buffalo rolled out an easier-to-set- up version of its LinkTheater Wireless Media Player, and it's not going as far as its higher-end brandmate, the AirStation Wireless-N Infiniti, and staying on more finite ground with the 802.11a and 802.11g standards. In case you're wondering, that's just garden-variety Wi-Fi. More »

Buffalo WZR-AG300NH AirStation Wireless-N Infinity Dual Band Router

Now this is where wireless routers are going. Besides its speedy wireless -N connectivity, Buffalo says this AirStation Wireless-N Infinity Dual Band Router is the first to receive the stamp of approval for Windows Vista. You can tell by those serious- looking antennas that this baby is a juggler, handling four wireless standards (802.11b/g/a/n) all at the same time, and even going dual-band for quicker throughput. That veritable alphabet soup (especially that letter "n") lets you grab your data at speeds of 300Mbps, and hey, that's fast enough for some serious HDTV throughput. More »

Altec Lansing M812: Eschewing Wires for Shocking Sound

Going wireless is the order of the day, and Altec Lansing severs that tether with the M812, a wireless speaker system that lets your iPod transmit its signal 100 feet. Put your iPod wherever you want, and then you can position the unit anywhere around the house. You can add up to four speakers and have music everywhere. Sure beats stringing wires inside walls for big bucks. More »

Casio's Big-zoomin' slim fittin' digicam

Slim cams with internally-zooming, nonprotruding lenses are nothing new. But Casio kicks it up a notch by squeezing a 7X (38mm - 266mm) zoomer into the one-inch thick Exilim Hi-Zoom EX-V7. Lots of other goodies are inside, too. In addition to the anti-shake chip that it's been using to (somewhat successfully) process blur out of photos, Casio finally sprung for a mechanical antishake system that shifts the CCD to compensate for jitters — a la the mechanisms in some Pentax and Olympus cameras.

Sony VAIO TP1 Media Center PC: Roomba or High-tech Wheel of Cheese?

Sony's new VAIO may look like a Roomba, but don't let this PC's spherical shape fool you. The TP1 was designed to replace that giant tower lurking underneath your desk and despite it's small footprint, it packs more than enough power for your daily needs (unless of course you're a serious gamer). Tucked neatly among the TP1's rear panel is an... More »

CES 2007: Garmin Nuvi 680 Links Up With MSN Direct

Seems like just yesterday we heard about the Garmin Nuvi 670, and now the company will reveal the Nuvi 680 GPS navigator at CES 2007. It keeps the 4.3-inch touchscreen of its predecessor but now adds the handy ability to receive dynamic content from MSN Direct, something the Nuvi 670 couldn't do yet (contrary to our earlier report).

Microtek Unveils Thrifty Plasmas

Microtek's debuting two lines of plasma TVs at CES this year. Their two higher-end Cineon-branded plasmas come in a piano-black finish and are available in 42-inch and 50-inch sizes. The 42-inch has a single large base (left) whereas the 50-inch has two legs (right). Prices on their website—for what we're guessing are older models—are $1,599 and $2,199 for the Cineons. More »
