Obsessed @ CES 2010
By Jennifer Kavanagh, Oxygen.com
It's CES 2010 and I'm back in the blogging booth to share the 3 things I'm completely obsessed with! Before we get to the "stuff," one note about CES this year compared to last year is the energy. There's genuine excitement from both the exhibitors as well as the attendees about many of the headlining technologies. It's good to see that despite the economic doldrums, technology and entertainment still have the power to inspire people with possibility.
Foldable TVs!
These...are...SO...cool. These super thin, foldable screens use a special chemical rather than backlight and color filters to create the picture.
The following link walks you through how this OLED screen technology has been incorporated into devices. http://bit.ly/7ww3D1
- :23s Samsung Phone - I WANT THIS NOW.
- :39s TV Cuff - Used by the military, this cuff turns accessory into entertainment.
Leapfrog Click & Create Digital Camera
My inner child got super excited when I saw this. Leapfrog has developed a child friendly digital camera with all the bells and whistles of any grown up version. My favorite part is that it comes with editing software so kids can edit their pics as well as turn them into games!
Unlock your child's inner photog - a future Annie Leibowitz maybe?!
LG 6.9mm LED Ultra Slim
The TV thats thinner than your iPhone...seriously. While OLED won me over in terms of picture quality, this new, ultra slim, ultra sexy TV had me at "6.9mm." How can an LED television be so slim you ask? Some genius figured out how to move the "meat and potatoes" of the tech from the screen panel to a thin, flat, lower panel that's completely separate from the screen. Lots of speculation around what it will cost but we all know how this game works...give it a little time and we'll all be enjoying wallpaper TV.
Check it out...
All in all, my takeaway from this year's CES is that TV still rules and the desire to be entertained and connected will continue to drive innovation that wows us.
Cheers!
