CES 2009: Barbie Digital Nail printer from Mattel
Beauty has always been big business, but when it melds with tech we always seem to get something extra special. Everyone's favourite fantasy figure has released a home nail studio kit that's actually rather cool. Aimed at the youth 'girly' market (well it's in pastel pink) the digital nail printer falls into the Beautronics sector.…
CES 2009: F.A.M.P.S are the sweetest RFID's around
You thought the Nabaztag rabbit was as cute as RFID readers were ever going to get? Well you were wrong my friends, oh so wrong. Mattel has released details of a selection of glorious South Park like figurines that trump that bunny cuteness any day of the week. The F.A.M.P.S (which stands for (Feelings, Attitudes,…
CES 2009: MoveIt Mini Android-based media player
It's easy to leave CES feeling jaded, cynical and knackered. It's products like the MoveIt Mini, from GiiNii, though, that make it all worth while. We might be slightly hysterical from lack of sleep and too much roulette, but we think it's awesome. On the face of it, it's a WiFi enabled media player. With…
CES 2009: Sony P Series
The Sony P Series has been met with a fair amount of skepticism here at CES - can it justify the £850 price tag in a world of cheap as chips netbooks? I got some time with it this afternoon, and I have to say, if nothing else, the build quality trumps any netbook I've…
CES 2009: Dishwasher friendly tech from Seal Shield
Now I love my gadgets. My phone is my prized possession and when on occasion it has fallen into the toilet it has plummeted me to the depths of despair.The idea of voluntarily submerging items of tech, seems far fetched but Seal Shield has made it a reality with their line of dishwasher friendly mice,…
CES 2009: Sony's X and W Series Walkmans
Lucy is evangelical about Sony's Walkman range, I'm more... meh. Having said that, I'm a new fan of a couple of the products they released this week. The W Series is less an MP3 player, and more a headband, whilst the X Series boasts a pretty bloody amazing screen. Take a look, why doncha'. For…
Go! Go! Go! Windows 7 available in Beta now!!!
Need something to do this weekend? It's apparently quite chilly in the UK today, so I'd recommend hunkering under the duvet, and getting yourself some Windows 7 action. It's been released in Beta, and there's hope that it's going to remedy all the things everyone hated about Vista. Steve Ballmer called it a "new media…
CES 2009: Motorola Surf
Zara swung by the Motorola stand here at CES, and managed to lay her hands on the Surf, the latest high spec handset from Motorola. It promises Windows Mobile Professional 6.1, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, AGPS and a microSD slot, but did it make the Zara grade?
CES 2009: Sonoro brings on the Stardust
You know when you see something and you're all, like, "OMG, that's *so* Shiny Shiny"? Yeah. That. This is the Sonoros Stardust, which is adorned by no fewer than 3,900 Swarovski crystals, ADORNED BY HAND. Can you imagine having that job? Under that sparkle, there's an AM/FM radio, an aux in jack for MP3 players,…
CES 2009: Victorinox launches the business man's swiss army knife
The good news is Victorinox has added a 32GB USB drive, fingerprint security scanner, laser pointer and Bluetooth remote to their latest Swiss Army Knife. The bad news is that's come at the expense of that thing that got stones out of horses hooves, the unusable tweezers and at least four variations of knives. The…
