CES 2010 Wrap-up – Looking to our Future

Gadgets, robots and hovercraft

What would CES be without the gadgets we all love and depend on and … hovercraft … and … robots?

An Irish company was demonstrating their completely interactive remote, the “Amulet” that works with Windows Media Center and voice commands for the couch potato in all of us.  You can also talk to it and even ask it, “what song is this?”

I remember Audio Technica from my last visit to CES over thirty years ago.  Actually, quite a few of the famous audio brands have survived since the 1970s although some have had to completely re-invent themselves.  Here we see their complete vinyl to PC solution.

While vendors are happy to meet consumer demands for “green” environmentally-friendly technology and products, they’re also attempting to stay ahead of the demand for products that will help consumers save energy and money.  Saving money is becoming a theme that is making sense.

Our friends at P3 International (Kill-A-Watt) have a new tool (center):

MagicJack was getting a lot of attention.

CelLynx unveiled the first affordable mobile plug ‘n play cellphone signal booster that is guaranteed to work with any usable signal. With the 5BARz Road Warrior, anyone can enjoy crystal clear cell phone reception and avoid dropped calls in areas with even the weakest signal.

And the truly weird was also in Las Vegas CES.  This music promises to move your – or relax you – depending on what you choose.

I supposedly got a demo from them at CES but the download link was broken and they never responded to my email requests for help.  Perhaps they are using too much of their own product.
