Due to print limitations, we often find ourselves heading to the Web to present everything that we saw at a trade show. Especially at a show like the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where everything we see we wanted to write about.
So here's the best of the rest, so to speak - a bunch of other products (see this week's Cool Tools column for a list of our favorite four products) announced or seen at the show that we'll want to get our grubby little hands on in the next year.
Digital audio or media players
PoGo Products launched the mediaNOW TiVoToGo-enabled Portable Media Player, which can function as a camcorder, digital camera, MP3/WMA player, voice recorder, FM radio, MPEG1, MPEG2 (TiVoToGo), MPEG4, Divx and Xvid media player. The device has a 20G-byte hard drive, a 1.3-megapixel digital camcorder and camera, a 3.5-inch TFT color LCD, built-in rechargeable lithium-polymer battery, and built-in speaker. The device offers five hours of video playback time and has a three-hour charging time, the company said. Pricing and availability were not announced.
PoGo also announced the Radio YourWay LX device, an update of its product that lets you record radio programs such as AM talk radio, sports, news or music, and play the recordings back later (almost like TiVo for your radio). The device includes MP3 recording ability, playback of MP3, WMA or RVF files, and the ability to record from any audio source (CD, cassette or TV) in MP3 format without going through a PC. The device offers 128M bytes of internal memory, with a Secure Digital/MultiMedia Card expansion slot (SD slot supports up to 1G bytes of extra memory). It has up to 15 hours of battery life, a built-in internal speaker, built-in line/mic-in port, and 10 timer-recording pre-sets. Availability and pricing were not announced.
