Demofall 2006 highlights: Day 2
Security and communication is the name of the game as Keith features demonstrators uControl (home security), Trend Micro (beware of the Botnets) and BeHere Corp (conference calls with a 360-degree twist).
Demofall 2006 highlights: Day 1
Keith features two cool technologies from the first day of DEMOfall 2006: Presto’s service that let’s non-technical family members receive photos through e-mail without a PC and Tribeca Labs’ Photobot that automatically touches up your digital photos to make them look their best.
* LATEST COOL TOOLS COLUMN:
Networked GPS offered better traffic info
It’s DemoFall 2006 time, and here are two cool product launches happening at this week’s show in San Diego:
Dash Navigation is a GPS device that includes an always-on network connection (through a combination of GSM/GPRS cellular and Wi-Fi) to provide up-to-date and relevant information to users in their cars.
The Nabaztag bunny uses Wi-Fi to gather data on the Internet for the user. Also known as the Wi-Fi rabbit, the Nabaztag device connects to the Internet through Wi-Fi. Version 1 developed a cult following in the blogosphere for its ability to do things like speak, sing, read text and move its ears.

DemoFall notebook: Bye to San Diego (maybe)
Wrapping up items while sitting on the floor at the San Diego airport waiting for foggy conditions to clear…
It’s official: I’m old
During the “Express Yourself” portion of the show, which all involved consumer-generated content applications (aka “Web 2.0” stuff), I came to the painful conclusion that I’m officially old.
Video stuff from DemoFall
While it’s easy to plug the Cool Tools Video Show video highlights from Day 1, we also want to direct readers to the “Official” Demo Videos at the Demo.com Web site. If you want to see the Day 1 on-stage demos (the six-minute speech), head there.
DemoFall morning session “cool” stuff
The first session of the day is almost over, and DEMOfall 2006 is off to a pretty good start (except for a dove in the ballroom that keeps flying around distracting the audience a bit).
Heading to DEMOfall 2006
We take a small break from the world of gadgets to see if anything cool debuts at DEMOfall 2006, in San Diego. Check out the DEMOblog for updates from the show all week.
Demofall 2006 Bonus: Be sure to check out all of our coverage from the show, including the video highlights, blogroll (Jason Meserve and Paul McNamara join the discussion) and the actual videos of the Demo demonstrations.
