Touch Digital Photo Frames
One of the electronics Genius will have on display will be the DPF-T805 and the DPF-T1000, both of which are touch digital photo frames. Both of these allow you to upload pictures, music, videos and play them on the photo frame with only a few touches. In addition, both of them have the capacity to play four different pictures at a time, stores up to 700 pictures, and have automatic scheduling so you can conveniently set them to play whenever you want. Lastly, the T805 comes with an 8.4 inch touch screen and 800×600 resolution. Meanwhile, the T1000 comes with a 10.2 inch touchscreen and the same resolution. No word on pricing at this time, but expect it to be pretty expensive with the touch technology and big screen sizes.
Touch Speaker System
One of the touch speaker systems Genius will have on display is the SP-T1200. The speaker system itself comes with a touch panel screen that allows you to control the volume, bass, and treble with ease. The system even lights up when you make sound change. The speakers are said to be small and compact with a 30-watt sound, so it doesn’t compromise size for quality. Now, I’m fine with changing the volume of my speakers by turning the knob, even thought it would probably be much cooler to slide my finger across a screen when I want to make it louder. That being said, the speakers have to be relatively inexpensive, otherwise I would have to pass until it fits my budget.
Infrared Security System
Lastly, we have the IP Cam 350TR, which is an advanced security system using infrared lighting when used in the dark. At night, the IP Cam 350TR automatically senses the lack of light and turns on six infrared LED lights that can pan 135 degrees and tilt 350 degrees – providing the maximum security possible. These would probably work best at home or at a work place to provide good security and let you sleep well at night knowing you are fully protected.
Overall, Genius has some good products in the wings for us and it will be interesting to see what people think at CES.
