Fancy New Stuff at CES 2007

Onyx Concept Phone:

Apparantly, only at it's concept stage with no buttons at all (sounds a bit like iPhone, no?. According to CNet, "it's a bar-style phone that would integrate GPS, music, teleconferencing and calendar events". It uses a thin high res touch screen for nearly the whole handset.

S-XGen Ultramobile Personal Computer (UMPC)

Targetted at the mobile warrior, this device runs on intel PXA 270 Xscale 520 Mhz processor running Windows 5.0 CE. Has also bluetooth, GSM/ EDGE capabilities, and 20GB of hard disk. And of course a fold out QWERTY keyboard like you see above. All of the above for about US$1395.

Sandisk Sansa View

At a capacity of 8Gb capacity, this is one of sexier Portable Video Player (PVP) in the market. It also boasts extra SD Ram memory slots, so you can store more videos there and play it too. One of the key features it that the screen is 4 inch across, which is heaps bigger than the iPod video (which is a strain to my eyes currently!). It also has a output for u to connect this to a TV if you want to watch content on bigger screens

Sandisk Connect

This device is something like Zune , but is able to log on to any wireless zone and grab any photos or music online - that means buy a song from anywhere. You can also listen to internet radio if you're near a wireless hotspot, but this is prob quite useless for most of us since we're mostly on the move all the time. It has 4Gb of memoey with expansion slots but does not have video playback capability or radio function. Around US$250.

ADS Tech Instant Video-To-Go

I find this device rather intriguing because I have been converting DVDs to iPod format recently; and it takes about 4 hours depending on the length of the actual movie. Too long!

Supposed to be the first "self-contained, hardware-based video-content conversion solution for consumers", this device, once plugged into your USB, can crush a 100 min video in 20 mins. Wow! Need to get my hands on this to try it!
