Gadget Lust
Posted under: In only a few hours CES 2010 will open to the public but the amount of information already available on the web is impressive. CES is all about gadgets and gadgets are those little, and not so little, things that create in all of us geeks lots of lust.
According to its official website CES 2010 features a record number of 330 new companies that will be showcasing their new products along with more than 2500 exhibitors booths that you can find at this year’s show in Las Vegas.
If you monitor the Twitter #CES stream you will find enough reasons to start drooling over your keyboard: ranging from mobile devices to 3D TVs, CES 2010 will be showcasing and premiering the near future of entertainment and communication.
Here are three gadgets I’ve spotted and that are already on my #WantList
Parrot AR.Drone
The French company Parrot presents the first quadricopter that can be controlled by iPhone and iPod touch. It includes a camera and uses WiFi to connect with the device. Look at it in action:
Skiff Reader
Forget about the Kindle. Skiff takes the e-reader a step beyond into the future making any e-reader look like a Apple Newton: Slick, thin and FLEXIBLE, if publishers adhere to the business model that the company proposes this will be the e-reader to have, flexed in your pocket.
According to the company’s website the Skiff Reader has an average battery life of one week, it features 3g and wifi as well as mini-USB port and 4GB of internal memory that you can extend by using any SD Card. That will allow you to put lots of books, magazines and newspapers on it.
Kodak PlaySport Zx3 Camcorder
With a target retail price of $149.99 and a release date that points to March/April 2010, Kodak’s Zx3 is a video camera that allows you to record videos in full HD 1080p or 720p and take 5 megapixel still images that you can then easilly share on different video social networks like YouTube or Vimeo.
This would make this camera already interesting but add all the features to the fact that the Zx3 is waterproof up to 3meters/10 feet and you will have that #Lust factor rising tenfold.
