For my last CES 2010 post, we’re going off-topic. Being a bit early for my Hauppauge briefing, I took the opportunity to crash Adidas’ meeting room next door. Prior to the show, I had caught some blog coverage of Adidas’ new miCoach line of training gadgetry. In fact, the Firefox tab was still up, as … Read more

I’ve had both positive and negative experiences with Sungale products, so I advise caution when approaching their new-to-market devices. However, that said, the company does have some interesting products waiting in the wings. First there’s the Kula TV device, which has gotten the most press attention. It’s a Wi-Fi-based mobile TV product that provides “hundreds … Read more
On my way to another appointment at CES, I got sidetracked by the display at the Cydle booth. Cydle, you say? Yeah, I’d never heard of them either, but they’ve got some cool-looking gadgets here in Vegas. Apparently out of South Korea, Cydle is due to go into retail in the States in the first … Read more
