CES 2010: Eye-Fi’s Pro X2 and Eye-Fi Center [updated]
The Eye-Fi Pro X2 represents a further refinement of Eye-Fi’s original idea of wireless memory. Obviously, this is the best yet. Not only will it wirelessly upload your pictures, it will do it over 802.11 N, if it’s available. Those pictures (or videos) will find their way to various web services of your choice, and/or your computer. And what makes this card better than the rest is its “endless memory” feature.
CES 2010: The year of 3D
If there was one resounding theme present at CES 2010, it undoubtedly was 3D. Television makers across the board are producing 3D capable TVs in preparation for what I think is the next best thing since color TV. That’s right, I love 3D, and I love that it’s coming to a living room (and hopefully Macintosh) near you. Here’s why…
CES 2010: The Fingerist iPhone Keytar, rock out with your dock out
It’s called the Fingerist, and no, I didn’t stroll to the wrong expo center. It’s essentially a speaker dock…in the shape of a keytar! Yes, that’s right, with this you can strap on your iPhone and play fake guitar apps until your fingers bleed. Of course, you can use this with whichever audio source you’d like to, but if you want to be an uber-nerd, fire up a keyboard app and rock out with your dock-out.
CES 2010: We don’t need no stinking Macworld
Macworld has long been the event for Apple users to gather and interact with the companies that produce their favorite pieces of hardware and software, in addition to Apple. We all remember last year, when Apple decided they didn’t need to attend Macworld anymore. Many in the industry have said that Apple’s withdrawal symbolized the death of Macworld. And with the iLounge at CES, you might begin to think that CES is a suitable replacement for Macworld.
CES 2010: Re iPhone Remote Demo [updated]
I stopped by the New Kinetix booth today at CES 2010 to check out the Re Remote. This remote is similar to the L5 remote, it just costs more. Sadly, this premium cost does not get you any more features or a better looking interface. It does however, get you a larger dongle. The guys at L5 wouldn’t let me film their interface since it was still subject to change before release. Suffice to say, it’s much prettier.
CES 2010: The YouRock electronic guitar, midi and game controller
The YouRock guitar has nearly all the bases covered when it comes to guitar, from a real instrument to a game controller. The possibilities of this instrument/controller really blow my mind, and I’m imagining yours too. I have even heard that there’s an iPhone app coming, so I guess there will be an app for this sometime soon too. You can expect this thing to ship around summer time for $179 and the game carts for $20 each.
CES 2010: MusicSkins announces Beatles themed skins
MusicSkins announced their new Beatles themed skins for a plethora of devices—from laptops and netbooks to iPods and iPhones. If it’s a digital device, then MusicSkins wants to skin it, and now you can get those skins with the Beatles on them. Think of it, now your iPod or iPhone can step into the skin of the Beatles, and then play their music, which is likely what you’ve wanted it to do all along.
CES 2010: Jaybird announces BlueBuds Bluetooth Earphones
This year at CES, JayBird announced the next generation of bluetooth headphones: the BlueBuds. This time, they’re much smaller. They have music controls and a microphone, so you don’t miss out on any of the regular features of the standard iPhone headset. They even shape to fit your ears with a flexible (but stiff) cord. Video from the show floor after the break.
CES 2010: Denon introduces S-5BD BD/Receiver with iPod connectivity
Apple connectivity is showing up in the strangest of places. Case in point? Denon’s newly introduced S-5BD BD/Receiver, an innovative single-component home entertainment solution that elegantly combines an audiophile grade 5.1-channel surround sound receiver with an advanced Profile 2.0 Blu-ray player featuring BD Live connectivity. Oh, and iPod connectivity.
CES 2010: One on one with Nuance [speech technology]
Voice technology is the wave of the future, and behind that Wave is Nuance. They are behind nearly every implementation of voice recognition of which you are aware. They’re everywhere; from the voice systems at AT&T and Vonage, to MacSpeech, GPS units, in-car units, and so much more. At CES 2010, I sat down with a few of the guys at Nuance to have a little chat.
