Portable burners and robotic dogs
Taking a walk around to the SONY area we walked past a very well kept little unit. The Sony CRX85UA2 portable CD, erm, everything. This is a small unit no bigger than a cd's width and about 1-2Cm's high. It's a Portable 20X CD Burner with both CD and DVD playback. It comes complete with PowerBurn Technology, 8X Rewrite, 24X CD Reading and 8X DVD Playback. Connected to a PC via USB2.0, it wouldn't be a bad little toy to have around for those either busy days or the ones where you just want to watch a flick on your laptop when you should be working.
Of course, no SONY stand would be complete without the SONY robotic dog which was having the time of its life in its own little pen across the other side of the stall.
After wandering around a little more the show primarily consisted of either flat screen TV's or something that would play MP3's. Following the sounds of the 'doof doof' bass we traced it to the JBL stereo stand and caught a quick glimpse of the 'Power Packed' PT Cruiser. We didn't snag any information on it so the picture's below are purely for eye candy.
 
I can just picture that driving around with a few neons under it, can't you?
Next up is the "Pocketmail" concept. The idea is you carry around this device, plug it into a phone line and it will dial up and allow you to check any pop mail in the world. It also works the other way around. You type your email, dial a number and it sends your mail for a subscription fee. More info on that can be found at their site.
Now this is an interesting little product from Panasonic, It's the Retinal Scanner for protecting your data and networks. The slogan being "No more card, password or PIN! One glance is all you need to protect valuable information assets." "The camera verifies a user's identity by scanning the person's iris and matching the pattern with the template stored at enrollment." Unlike a normal retina scanner which uses a laser beam into the users eye, The cam takes a picture of the users iris and stores it in a bank of information. This allows the user to be around 20 inches away from the camera. The poster is quite a cool design too.
 
Overall the show wasn't to bad. It had a few nice products but a lot of which had been seen before. It was well set out and had plenty of space and information. Worth seeing next time if it's in your neighborhood.
Just for the sake of doing so, this is what happens when you leave a computer in the open connected to the internet...
Thanks to Eddie for supplying those 3 pictures above *pocketmail and iris scanners* and the ones on the next page. Now, no show is complete without its section of booth babes. So in closing I leave you with some pictures of the Booth Babes of ECS.
