They could have spent a ton of dough building one booth amongst many. Instead, Aliph set up shop at the CES concierge desk to trade Jawbone noise-eliminating Bluetooth headsets with anyone willing to give up their existing model. The strategy is genius on many levels (and reminds me a bit of TiVo’s VCR funeral). By … Read more
I’ve caught a bit of the Sony Rolly coverage over the last few months – an MP3 player about the size of a tennis ball that also happens to spin around on a flat surface whilst playing tunes via speaker. However, prior to seeing it in person Thursday, it hadn’t gotten my attention. Now, it’s … Read more
I’m going to do a bit of Memento trickeration here and continue to cover CES – out of order and after the fact.

We’re here. Honest. It’s just that our day jobs are keeping us hopping at CES. But look at the different badges. Same pub – one press badge, one blogger badge. What’s up with that?
Both TiVo and Sling had tables at the Digital Experience press event last night, so with about ten minutes left in the show I was able to sneak away for more details on the forthcoming TiVo Desktop PC software. Perhaps I’m overtired, because when I had originally received the embargoed press release on Saturday I … Read more
