Aaron Broder, Kid Reporter, Blitzes CES, Gets the Scoops

Meet Aaron Broder, the 14-year-old reporter and member of the Scholastic Kids Press Corps. He's covering CES from start to finish. Chaperoned by his mom, the resourceful young man convinced the CES suits to bend the "no one under 16, no exceptions" rule to grant him a press pass. Good move, because after all, there are millions of people his age who are tech experts (and who read Gizmodo), and it's about time they got some press representation. More »

Samsung Sticks With Rear-Screen Projectors, Shows New Series 6 and 7 Sets

The Skinny: Samsung remains unfazed by Sony's bailout of the rear-screen projector market, showing its Series 6 and Series 7 at CES 2008. The claim to fame of these big berthas? Huge screens for little moolaa, although Sammy isn't saying how much they will cost. The Series 6 will have a relatively slim cabinet for a rear-screener, and screen size choices in 50, 56, 61 and 72 inches (HL50A650, HL56A650, HL61A650). The 61-inch 67-inch Series 7 sets (Model numbers HL61A750 and HL67A750) use Samsung's LED DLP tech, and rocks a new version of its Cinema Pure color engine and power-saving Energy Star compliance. Both are available this spring. The Catch: Old tech, dying everywhere. Another pic and the press release, after the jump. More »

CES Remainders: Lost, the Final Episode

While we were busy covering every gadget imaginable at CES this year, ABC was forcing the stars of the show Lost to do a spoof on their last episode. Then they showed the finished clip at Disney chief Bob Iger's keynote to hundreds of appreciative nerds—complete with CES pandering. More »

Frankenreview: The Best Of "Best Of CES 2007" Lists

CES is so hungover, and all that's left for journalists to do during this tech lull is to sit around and write up their "best of" lists for CES. But since our Frankenreview is about collecting product reviews and sifting through the opinions for consensus, what better to review than the best of what was reviewed at CES 2007? More »

Sunwave Universal Remote: 7-in-1...Colors

Cleaning out our CES bags is like that Family Ties two-parter where they dig through the attic: it takes too long, but we remember some good stuff that would have otherwise been repressed forgotten, like the Sunwave SRC-3200 Universal Remote. More »

The Official "Will You Marry Me?" Optical Mouse

Ah, the North Hall, the ghetto of CES. Home of Asian OEMs, where you can find all kinds of crap that you neither want nor need. Take for instance, the GTMS-3000 Mini Finger Optical Mouse from Guann Tau. With the "ergonomic and humanization design" touted by its flyer, you simply slip the mouse's strap over your finger and point the optical sensor downward. It has a tracking resolution of 400/800 dpi and gives you a little over a meter of cable to work with. As you can see, the one I played with was pink (though they claim it's red), but it also comes in black and blue. Unfortunately, it wasn't hooked up to a computer so I can't really comment on how well it worked. It did feel awkward, though. And cheap. So I expect some version of this to show up in Radio Shack by the end of the year. – Matt Buchanan More »

Phone Grope and Gallery: Samsung Ultra Music SGH-F300

We told you about the Ultra Music back in December. Well at CES, we got personally acquainted with it when I mentioned the word "iPhone" to a Samsung rep, who swiftly brought us to the phone to check it out. iPhone it ain't, but sweeter than Chocolate it is. And then there's the second screen. More »

Penny-Arcade on CES: Part 1

Gabe may have wanted to rub his penis all over Sharp's 108-inch LCD, but a lot of you folks would have rather seen our own Jason Chen put that huge beast in his pants. Regardless, enjoy all 108 inches however you see fit. –Travis Hudson More »

Hands On with Novint's 3D Game Controller

We saw a lot of controllers at CES, but Novint's Falcon stood out from the pack. It's a force feedback 3D controller designed for PC games. Users hold the grip handshake style and can then move it up/down, left/right, or backwards/forwards. More »

Fukuoku Massage Glove Hands-On: Good Vibrations

Marketed as the world's first multi-speed waterproof massage glove, the Fukuoku should be used to give yourself or someone you know a nice, thorough massage. At the porn convention, however, all bets were off and the glove was used by this crazy old man to harass random passersby. We could use this after a week on non-stop CES and MacWorld coverage. – Nicholas Deleon with video by Richard Blakeley More »

Cisco Taking on Apple TV with Secret Competitor

Ever since the whole iPhone trademark scandal, Apple and Cisco have been clashing like two old archrivals. Now word has it that Cisco is working on a product that will directly take on Apple TV. According to Daily Tech, the new set-top box will be able to "serve and sync to content much in the same manner as Apple TV." The device is expected to ship later this year and might even play DVDs, though it's not known if it'll be of the high-def kind. If Cisco's secret set-top box does 1080p, we're up for a very interesting next few months. – Louis Ramirez More »

LG Hybrid HD DVD/Blu-ray Player Getting Canned?

Anyone who was planning on buying LG's hybrid high-def player may wanna sit down for this one. As we reported from CES, the BH100 fully supports Blu-ray discs, but since it lacks support for HD DVD's iHD, you can't access an HD DVD's interactive menus, you can only see the movie straight through.

Updated iRiver has Bluetooth, Awesome Accessory

Spotted at CES by the dapreview folks is this iRiver S10 with a watch-conversion attachment. Interestingly enough, the watch accessory covers the headphone jack on the actual S10, but then it was noticed that this version of the S10 (rather than the older version) actually has a small Bluetooth logo on it. I'd rock that watch, and rock some Bluetooth headphones to go along with it. No details on this updated S10, but we'll keep you posted. –Travis Hudson More »

Hands On with CES' Smallest Tablet

Flybook's V33i was without a doubt, the smallest notebook we saw at CES. This thing made our 3-pound ultraportable look like a heavyweight. The keyboard is very cramped, but we love that it has built-in HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE and GPRS. The 8.9-inch display might make you blind, however. We put our Motorola Q on the keyboard just so you can get an idea of how small this sucker really is. – Louis Ramirez More »

Canon Buys Toshiba's Stake in SED

Canon and Toshiba are going their separate ways in what was their joint SED-based venture. The reason? It seems that Nano-Proprietary, a Texas-based company which licensed technology to Canon, is crying foul over the fact that Canon is sharing Nano's technology with Toshiba. As a result, Canon is telling Toshiba to fork over their 50% stake in their SED venture, making it a one-company project. It's uncertain how this is gonna play out in the long run, although Canon insists they'll still produce the displays for the fourth quarter of 2007. But between their previous delays and their skipping CES, it just sounds like SED is heading the way of vaporware. – Louis Ramirez More »

Toshiba Stainless Steel TV

I've always dreamt of having one of those stainless steel kitchens seen in celebrity homes, and when I make my first million and make it happen, this will be the first addition to it. Actually, screw the kitchen I think I'll get this for my small apartment. It won't match anything, but it will look sexy as hell all by it's lonesome. –Travis Hudson More »

Wrapping Up CES 2007: Babes Female Booth Embassadors Gallery

I managed to sneak out of Vegas a day earlier than everybody else, so most of the regular Gizmodo crew will be in transit today, but I'll do my best to keep you folks entertained. So here is a gallery containing many, many babes spotted at CES over the week. No nudity, but could be considered NWS if you happen to work in a church (maybe). –Travis Hudson More »

iPhone Reactions From CES: The Joy of Competition

The iPhone: We love it. You love it. Everyone loves it. Except for maybe the phone makers that now have to stack up to it. We decided to hit the CES show floor to see what some reps from other makers had to say about the Jesus phone and how they plan on dealing with the Second Coming. Quotopia after the jump. More »

Wrapping Up: Gizmodo's "IP" Address During CES

From the 16th floor of the Imperial Pit Palace in Las Vegas, which was Gizmodo's base of operations for CES when not in press-room hell. Or swank-ass parties. Which means when we fell into comas at the end of each day, running nonstop from 8 am to 10 pm (or later). It was intense, tiring, stressful, pure madness and a hell of a lot of fun, all at the same time. We hope you loved our coverage as much as we loved covering it. And apparently a lot of you did, so thanks and look forward to post-show analysis in the coming days. – Matt Buchanan More »

Sprint EV-DO: Gizmodo's Mission Critical CES/Keynote Gear

How do you toss up 500+ posts at CES and the Macworld Keynote without hooking up to a single WiFi or hard ethernet port? You rock some cellular data. Every person on the team had either a USB dongle by Novatel (the U720), or a Sierra Aircard 595 PC Card. That's thanks to Sprint, who loaned us the cards on the condition that we'd give em feedback on how they worked in Vegas and SF. They were incredible. More »

XM CommanderMT Universal Receiver

Despite talks of a merger, XM had some new gear shown at CES this week including the CommanderMT. The CMT is a bit different that the average satellite radio receiver because it is built to be integrated into the vehicles dash.

Nyko Goes Wild, Releases Entirely Too Many Next Gen Console Accessories

Nyko used CES this year to show off (in a swank Hilton suite, no less) a host of accessories for the PS3, Wii and Xbox 360. Lucky me, I got to touch and play around with them until they finally kicked me out. Charging controllers is the name of the game on the PS3 front, with the Charge Base, Dual Charge AC and Charge Link all serving to charge the Sixaxis controller. The Charge Base ($40) can charge up to four controllers at the same time and plugs into the wall; the Dual Charge AC ($25) charges two controllers via a USB connection; the Charge Link ($15) plugs into the PS3 and charges while the system is turned out. The cable's a little longer than the standard Sony one, welcome news for those who like to sit far away from the TV. More »
