although the giant wrap around gaming screen looks great at first glance, videos of it in action show that the seams between component screens are clearly visible. Still its better than the multi-monitor setups used by Wall Street traders.

(Ranked by user votes) Vote on and review the contenders below.
Pioneer is showing a 50 inch plasma that is only 9mm thick. Funny how these days, with super thin displays, screen size is in imperial and thickness is in metric units.<p /><p />its interesting that with thin and light screens, the wall mounted concept starts to disappear and bases that resemble adjustable task lamps start to become the norm.
TVs are getting really thin and really big. There is not much so say here except to follow through the link and have a look at what Gizmodo have managed to scoop with images of Panasonics movie theater sized monster.
JVCs new range of LCD displays are 1.5 inches thick. Claiming to be the worlds thinnest for their size. We will see multiple claims for wolds thinnest displays as this continues to be an ongoing quest for multiple manufacturers.
This camera will shoot an amazing 60 frames per second in still mode, something that mechanical cameras with power winders (or even SLR of any type) will never be able to do.<p /><p />There will come a point when the reflex mirror that gives rise to the name SLR becomes obsolete.
There is a boat load of new gear from Samsung this year, and they are slowly developing a recognizable, gloss black house style across all of their products.<p /><p />This TV is one of their stranger items, with its satellite mini screen.
Although these Linux Smart Phones show a lot of promise, they are probably only for the brave early adopter, for the moment.
The Sling Catcher has been a long time coming, but looks like a solid product. it takes a Sling Box signal and pipes it to an ordinary TV - so, for example you could watch US TV while abroad, but on a regular TV rather than via a computer.<p /><p />Click through to see CNETs photo galleries from CES.
iRiver seem to be out minimalizing Apple these days. <p /><p />The Spinn player looks absolutely stunning. The whole design pivots around a chunky thumb wheel which they say has the satisfaction of an analog interface.
Motorola has 4 new phones at CES, but the Rokr E8 is the big draw.<p /><p />It has a fully touch screen interface that morphs between different display modes. <p /><p />The problem is that the displays dont seem to take advantage of what can be done with a pure screen interface, but replicate a physical one with all of its layout limitations (such as being portrait rather than landscape) and none of its tactile benefits.<p /><p />Despite the positive press we are giving this a thumbs down from what we have seen so far.
Long gone are the days of cheap utilitarian design of US Robotics style modems. The most notable thing about Linksys router on display at CES is that they are designed to be seen, with fancy gloss black enclosures.<p /><p />High gloss black - associated primarily with Samsung is also becoming a general trend in consumer electronics.
The Z10 has a 3.2 megapixel camera and potential for 32GB storage. It is being pitched primarily for its ability to be used as a full featured digital camcorder.<p /><p />The specifications of these devices are now such that they are better seen as cameras or video cameras with a built in phone.
Details of this emerged in December. Its funny how video phones were staple items of Science Fiction, but they sort of happened with a whimper rather than a bang, being a feature of regular telephony rather than dedicated devices. <p /><p />Creatives inPerson system is one of those dedicated devices. The future is here, but nobody noticed.
One of those seemingly dull products that has amazing architectural implications if used creatively. The XL50 can project an 80 inch image from 3 inches away.
This years theme for Netgear and Linksys is the move into routing high resolution video.<p /><p />Netgears offerings are more interesting, encroaching into the media server are and offering a range of products to push around an awful lot of bits.
Sharp has been showing some very nice TV designs. However, their intelligent, Internet enabled TV system, Aquos, makes them all the more interesting.
Altec Lansings dedicated iPhone speaker dock filters out the interference caused by phones as they communicate with cells and the sound gets amplified by ordinary speakers.
It looks like the Anyplay portable DVR wont be shipping until 2009. Panasonic have partnered with Comcast who will license the product.
