Best of CES – Also… My New Goal!

What? CES was a week ago? Feels like a month ago. Go figure. Never the less, I went to work and helped create a best of CES video. Poor Jessica had to tolerate me coughing and hacking off screen and then stand next to me while I’m sick. Hopefully I don’t get her ill.

But wait! There’s more to this blog than just a CES video post today…

CES 2009 – DBox (Not Dee Box or Daa Box)

For all the people thinking “Daaaa Bears!” I give you kudos for the reference, but not quite what it’s going for.  DBox is a fully immersive chair that if I had the money, I think I’d own a set or a full theater of these guys. Check out this clip for more info:

So… with my Blu-Ray movies currently I’d say that “300” would have a whole new meaning if I felt every freakin arrow hitting the chair as they stand their ground. Grand Theft Auto 4 would also be a very different twist if I felt the crash of every car as well… I don’t know. Might be the next step into the gaming world that has been needed. The only down side is that it is currently PC only for the gaming aspect. Here’s to hoping for a branch out and when that day comes, I might be first in line to pick up one of these bad boys.

Til next time – Keep geekin out.

CES 2009 – Sleek Audio – Awesome Headset

Check it out… so for anyone who has a digital music player and has been looking for the perfect headphones, I dare say this might be the ones. Not only do they have several different styles of headphones, but you basically can buy the part that you want to enhance that part of the sound. Confusing at first? Yes, check this clip interviewing Sleek Audio and see what I mean.

Interesting huh?

These videos I’m pulling from my worksource, and you can view the whole channel of videos here. However, I will still update the blog with the highlights from this venture.  I’m home ill today from work, so I’ll be blogging a bit more than usual. (iTouch talk after the jump)

More CES Shennanigans – Treo Pre

Hey folks! I’m back for more.  Actually, this time we have to thank one of the writers at my job. He was able to sneak past security and get a bit more of a hands on look of the Treo Pre. The only downside was he couldn’t flag us down in time to help out with the recording but using his Flip Mino, it worked out pretty good.  While the woman’s voice stands out, try to listen to what the gentleman is showing as it’s his phone we’re looking at.

From what we could sneak out of the footage, this looks like it could be another device to step up to the expectations the iPhone has created. I’ve had some experience with the Android G1 from TMobile, and I’m thoroughly impressed. If I had service with TMobile, that would be my phone of choice right now. Either way, very cool looking material coming forward from CES. Here’s to more fun!

Also – Added a link to Bastaroids.com. Good friends of mine and they just added a link to my blog. Thanks guys!

Microsoft Windows 7 – CES Coverage

So… I’m not sure what I can and cannot disclose about my personal experience yet regarding Windows 7. I’ll have to double check to see if I can get Screen Shots and the like to help illustrate my experience with the system.  However, I do have the CES footage which I captured for work. 

So… as to avoid getting into trouble since I’m not 100% aware of what can and cannot be said, I’m going to just post the CES video here since that is something I have confidence in the legalities. Enjoy! (PS The Beta is now available.)
