CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is bigger than ever this year in Las Vegas with some new gear that puts last years lineup to shame. Engadget, Gizmodo, CrunchGear and all the rest have been there from the start covering it all and MassivePress.com is rounding up the best of CES.
To start off the list, SAMSUNG has an entirely new lineup of entertainment gear including LCD’s, surround sound and much more. Care to watch HD in 3D, the SAMSUNG series 4 and 5 plasma, DLP and LCD HDTV’s “make use of 3D technology. Literally, you put on a special pair of glasses and you’ll be watching 3D in high-def.” Find out more at CrunchGear.com. SAMSUNG also has “an all-in-one single wall-mountable speaker unit that contains a DVD player and looks like something Batman would use in his Batcave Bat-hroom. It also has a subwoofer, DVD player and Bluetooth connectivity for streaming audio.” Find out more at Gizmodo.com.
iRiver hit the ground running this year with a new line of media devices including the most fashionable DAP you have ever seen. Not much info on this one but you can see some cool pics at Engadget.com. iRiver’s SPINN PMP “combines warmth of analog controls” “with digital content—apparently this is an analog toggle wheel of some sort. It’s stacked PMP-wise, otherwise: 3.2-inch 480×272 screen, FM tuner, flash, Bluetooth, dictionary and 30fps MP4 playback.” More info at Gizmodo.com.
Sony is hoping to redeem what is left of the Mylo brand with the Sony Mylo 2. “Mylo 2, like its predecessor, is a portable internet communicator. This one is more powerful, but it’s still a freak of nature.” More info at Gizmodo.com. Also, the SonyEricsson brand of Walkman phones is getting some new editions starting with the W760. “Tri-band HSDPA and GPS make this a good traveling phone while the gaming features make it good for play. It even picks out music depending on your mood.” Head over to CrunchGear for more info.
Pioneer is taking on Microsoft Sync with Link… “Foremost, it’s an in-dash GPS device bringing everything you expect from a high-end direction-finder. In addition to those standard features, the AVIC-F500BT brags of 1.2 million points of interest, has an SD slot for updating your system’s navigational information and uses MSN traffic, weather and gas price information.” Head over to AutoBlog.com for more.
If you are looking for some banging headphones, you should check out the new Monster’s Beats Headphones from Dr. Dre Backs. “Monster proves that as long as you put their company name on it, you can charge as much as you want. They teamed up with Dr. Dre and Interscope records to create a shockingly expensive set of headphones with a “unique and avant-garde look,” according to the release.” Read more at CrunchGear.com.
Philips has a ton of new gear this year starting with the new GoGear line of PMP’s. “Like a cop giving out tickets at the end of the month, Philips is definitely trying to fill some kind of quota…. The company released just about every variation of portable media player you can think of here at CES. Settle in, I’ll try to be brief.” CrunchGear has all the info you need on the entire new line of GeoGear media players.
