Hulu Plus is coming to the 360. Avatar Kinect looks intersting and MS sold 8 Million Kinects already!!!!! They predicted 5 million!

 

Liz is quite excited.

 

Windows surface looks pretty badass

 

Stogie I found your tablet! The Samsung Sliding PC 7 Series

I just saw it demod during the MS keynote and it looks like what you're looking for.



Comes out in March and is $699

 

OK I think I get what MS is doing with Windows 8. Much like how Apple said the iPhone is running OS X on an ARM chip MS is bringing Windows to ARM chips. The foundation of windows, the lower level kernel stuff. I don't expect MS to bring explorer.exe and the keyboard mouse interface to an ARM tablet. I expect a brand new UI but still running on "Windows". Much like how iOS is OS X but with a completely different user interface.

I think the benefit of this is that MS can port their underlying technology over to ARM for example their pen and handwriting recognition that they've been working on for 10 yrs on x86 Windows can be ported to ARM windows and work right away instead of having to rewrite them for a new OS.

 

OS on the Samsung?

 

NVM got it.

 

Win7. Here's some more pics from the demo. not that great but you can see how it slides up. I liked it!

 

it's certainly a neat portable. Samsung 9 series laptop looks pimp too.

 

The keyboard slides out from underneath the screen and the screen stands up on it's edge. It's like a slide out keyboard from on a cell phone like the droid or epic 4g, except that the screen stands up.

 

Yeah that looked nice. I'm not paying $1600 for it though. Apple learned you can't charge that much for a laptop that doesn't doing anything except be thin and now the MBA is much cheaper.

I'm still holding out for a standalone Windows Media Center box

 

love this time of the year!

 

me too. I've been looking at building my own on a mini-itx board for a few weeks now that I found this case: Fractal Design Holds 6 HD's in a very small/sleek form factor and appearance. I moved into a condo and my server is way too loud so I need to build something that's dead silent. I really want to go with a dual core atom board, but I don't think the hardware is enough to last a few years.

 

wonder what booths i should visit.

thinking of visiting at least the Panasonic booth to check out their new plasmas.

 

meh, I wouldn't go with atom way too low performance. I had my eye on one of the new Core processors. The Core i3 2100. These chips are quite powerful and in the graphics are builtin. Atoms processor and graphics are meh.

But if one of those boxes comes out I'll just get one of those....

I put it in the W7 thread a few months ago when MS released the embedded version of W7 that would allow for these boxes to be made. There's a few in development now and I'm hoping to see more about them at CES. I don't want to wait until CEDIA this summer for them to come out.

 

Your job is to go to whatever booths will tell you to go to then take pics and video and ask any questions we tell you to ask. Got it!

You're the eyes, ears and voice of AZ at CES. Our ambassador, diplomat, secretary of state

 

 

wait are you talking about CES or AEE?

 

both.

Make an AEE thread and I'll give you your orders there!

 

yea.. id make a thread but im pretty sure it'd be a useless thread w/o pics and i dont want to get banned.

 

That Samsung iPhone 4 looks pretty cool, but i think ill stick with a Harmony remote.

 

Put it in L&N, and make sure it's non-nude. Use black rectangles if you have to.

 

 

oooh blackberry playbook preview! on E

 

You put the SFWish pics in the thread and then put the others in a PM and send it out.

 

so hard to keep up with the updates on Engadget sometimes.
Like id goto the next page and it'd be all the same stuff i just looked at

 

More pics of the Samsung sliding tablet

 

This one's for you SVT. Custom DIY ear molds in 4 minutes.....

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/06/s...-molded-headp/

 

its too fat, forget that thing.

that aint no tablet, thats a laptop!

 

That honeycomb preview looks really nice. Android is starting to make their things look nice and clean.

 

Pretty cool. The impressions I had made will be used to make me a pair of earplugs as well as custom-fits for my headphones.

All told, my hf3+custom-fit is right between the prices of these two phones. Disappointing that engadget linked to a $1000 set of custom-fit when the drivers in those Ultimate Ears are probably leagues beyond the ones at the show.

 

More porn...

 

wskars.

 

Mac app store coming out today

My coworker reports that his kids are bored with the kinect already.

 

heard the Mac App store has been jailbroken already

 

Now I'm wondering why I need that.

 

Did they say what the startup time from cold (or standby) to fully up and running is?
