Back in October 2009, TechRadar put on its felt-edged predicto-hat and tried
to guess what would be grabbing the headlines at CES 2010. We called it: New
Year gear to get you excited.
Our thoughts naturally turned to Microsoft’s Project Natal, the Courier
Tablet, legions of new Kindle-rivalling e-readers and Full HD 3D TVs. And, as
this year’s CES has unfolded, we’ve not been entirely disappointed.
There’s been no Courier Tablet (sadly) — Microsoft has undoubtedly blown
its chance of stealing a march on Apple. But here’s are some of the gadgets
that have caught our beady TechRadar eyes so far and set the global newswires
buzzing…
1. Project Natal
Steve Ballmer’s lack of charisma on stage still can’t dull the excitement
surrounding Microsoft’s motion capture gaming hardware. Windows 7? Don’t
care any more. Windows Mobile? Microsoft doesn’t seem to have any
revolutionary ideas for this at all.
But give us the prospect of gesture-based, controller-free gaming by
Christmas and we’re already sold. Mr Ballmer? Mr Bach? Where do we sign up?
2. Samsung transparent OLED laptop
We love a good prototype and Samsung has delivered the goods again with a
14-inch transparent OLED laptop screen. Watch the video here to see the
technology in action.
3. Sony Bravia LX900
The minimalist ‘Monolithic’ design of Sony’s new LX900 Bravia is only the
first thing to catch the eye. It isn’t just the company’s flagship HD TV, it
’s a showcase for some of the new technologies that are vying to become
standard issue telly-features in the coming decade.
So the LX900 can also cope with 3D TV, boasts integrated Wi-Fi (802.11n) and
all manner of TV widgetry from onscreen Twitter apps to streaming catch-up TV
services.
4. The HP Slate
Steve Ballmer described HP’s new ‘Slate PC’ as “almost as portable as a
phone and as powerful as a PC running Windows 7〃. Yes, we agree that it
looks lovely. And yes, it’s a triumph of micro-engineering. But despite its
high-profile showing at CES, what are the odds that people will actually
remember it once Apple has unleashed its own tablet device?
5. The world’s fastest 3D TV
What happens when you put a variant of the PlayStation 3’s Cell chip into a
Toshiba HD TV? You get a TV that can convert 2D content into 3D in real-time.
How about that for the ultimate HD TV experience?
6. The world’s biggest 3D TV
3D TV was always going to dominate this year’s show. So what better way to
show off the technology than by super-sizing it into a 152-inch 4K x 2K 3D
plasma display? Panasonic’s giant TV set is the world’s biggest 3D TV. It
uses the full HD x 2 frame sequential method to alternately reproduce full HD
(1920 x 1080 pixels) images for the left and right eyes on the display frame
by frame. Active shutter glasses required.
7. MSI dual-screen e-reader
It doesn’t matter that the intriguing Courier tablet was a no-show at this
year’s CES. Because MSI has come up with a thin, dual-screen
tablet/e-reader/slate of its own.
Featuring two 10-inch multi-touch displays and a full-size virtual keyboard,
the Atom Z530-powered device was spotted on the show floor running Windows 7.
It’s early days — so no official name, no price and no release date.
8. Powermat wireless charger
While Powermat was one of the highlights of CES 2009, the fututistic wireless
charging technology is now available to buy. New for 2010, Powermat is
working to integrate its technology into batteries so that devices will work
with the charger without messing around with add-on sleeves or backplates.
9. LBO Light Touch
Not only are slates, tablets and e-readers out to get the traditional
keyboard, now pico projectors have started to taunt them too.
Light Blue Optics has been using CES 2010 to show off its Light Touch system
– “an interactive projector that turns any flat surface into a 10-inch
touch screen.”
Using proprietary holographic laser projection technology, the Light Touch
can project a screen onto any flat surface. An infra-red sensing system then
enables you to interact with the projected display just like a touch screen.
10. The Parrot AR.Drone
Finally, what tech enthusiast wouldn’t want a remote controlled Wi-Fi
helicopter with two onboard cameras. And you you can pilot it using an
iPhone. Genius. Take a look at our picture
