The Best Stuff from CES

[wide][/wide]

Dozens of major tech companies debuted hundreds of their newest gadgets and technology during opening day of CES 2012 today. Here’s a summary of product announcements that we’re still going to care and want to hear more about a month from now.

  • Razer unveiled an awesome looking new gaming tablet dubbed Project Fiona.  Picture above.
  • LG has a fridge with a compartment to “blast cool” your beer in five minutes.
  • ViewSonic and EXOPC unveiled a 32″ multi-touch surface called EXOdesk.
  • A company called Innergie debuted their PocketCell portable device charger.
  • Vizio carpet bombed the audience with new products – everything from a whole new line of television sets to all-in-one desktops, laptops, a new tablet, and more. (My favorite toy of the show so far is their new $100 Stream Player. It’s a no-brainer buy.)
  • A company called BlueStacks debuted its Android app player for Windows.
  • Corning unveiled Gorilla Glass 2, which is 20% thinner than the original.
  • Canon shot their competition in the face with their new G1 X point and shoot.
  • LG introduced a new 84″ Ultradefinition 4K 3DTV that nobody can afford.
  • Samsung unveiled a ridiculously gorgeous 55″ OLED TV.
  • Sony confirmed that the U.S. launch of the PS Vita will include Netflix support.
  • Just about every company at the show unveiled new televisions, Blu-ray players, tablets, cameras, and ugly-ass cell phones that no one will end up actually buying. There was a lot of static on the show floor today. I covered the “big ones” here.

Samsung Super OLED TV


OLED televisions are super thin, have amazing contrast, and have colors that look almost too real – but until now OLED TV’s haven’t been readily available. That’s about to change.

Roku Streaming Stick


The Roku Streaming Stick is an entire Roku the size of a USB thumb drive that plugs right into your TV’s HDMI port.

MakerBot Replicator


The 3-D printer you build yourself gets a larger building area and twin extruders for printing with two colors simultaneously. All for under $2,000.

Nokia Lumia 900


The Nokia Lumia 900 is the followup to the best Windows Phone on the market, with three major upgrades; a bigger screen, a faster LTE connection, and it’ll be available in the states.

Modular Robotics Cubelets


Cubelets are basically programable robotic Legos.
