Steering Wheel Mounted Cellphone Holder

Jason Chen — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 14:00:44 EST

Although keeping your cellphone close to reach when you're driving is a good idea—one that Jack Bauer himself would approve of—keeping it this close to your wheel is probably bad. How close? How's on the wheel itself sound?

A good idea on paper—when you're drunk—since you'd be talking directly into the phone when it's on speaker, but practically dangerous, as many victims of gab-and-hit can tell you. Has this thing actually made it to production? – Jason Chen

Live from CES: X-Arm LCD TV Mount

Travis Hudson — Sun, 08 Jan 2006 09:35:55 EST

Booths featuring LCD mounts are a dime a dozen here at CES, but there is one sparkling pearl that emerged from this sea of crap: the X-Arm mount by Clo Systems. This is a robotic mounting arm that allows the consumer to change the viewing angle of large-format LCDs with the push of a button. The X-Arm supports screens from 40 to 60 inches. Using a remote control, the X-Arm can extend the TV away from the wall then tilt the TV up to 32 degrees each direction as well as tilt the TV up to 7 degrees up and down. This should be out sometime later this year and it will be sub-$2000.
