CES 2005 - Pepcom Digital Experience
Dell
Dell was showing off several of their products at their booth, from MP3 players to laptops to printers. Dell's Inspiron 9200 laptop features a 17 inch screen, a Radeon 9700 and multimedia keys located at the front, below the touchpad for easy access. The Axim X50 isn't really new, but is still cool enough to show off. The X50 features a 3.5 inch QVGA screen at a resolution of 320 x 240 while the X50v's screen is 3.7 inches of VGA goodness at a very nice 640 x 480. Both versions support CF and SDIO expansion slots for connecting a variety of add-ons. Another interesting gadget is the Photo Printer 540 which allows you to print photo quality pictures anywhere with a PC, from multiple memory cards or any camera that supports PictBridge technology. The printed photos are covered with a high-gloss protective finish allowing for immediate sharing and long life. The final product of interest was Dell's Digital Jukebox which now comes in a 5 gigabyte Pocket DJ version which measures in at 3.5 x 2.1 x 0.5 inches and has a battery life of around ten hours.     HP We found the PDAs of particular interest at the HP table. The iPAQ h4700 is a high-end model which boasts features such as 4" high resolution VGA display, integrated Bluetooth and 802.11b wireless connectivity, and rather than a 4-way directional button they opted to use a touchpad. The silver iPAQ is HP's h6315, which features Bluetooth and 802.11b, 3.5" transflective backlit display, an optional "keyboard,' and did I mention it is a phone too?   Fossil I have long been a fan of Fossil. I have the watch(es), cap, and I even tote my cash in one of their wallets. At their booth they were showing off two things - Wrist Net and Wrist PDA watches. The Wrist Net watch uses the MSN Direct wireless service to keep you up to date on news, weather, sports scores, stock quotes, horoscopes, lottery results, personal messages, entertainment news, movie listings and times, and more. However, this all comes at a price, as you will have to pay an annual subscription fee of around $60 to get access to many of those features. When the Wrist Net watch actually hits the shelves in the spring it will sell for $130. The Wrist PDA, as you might guess from the name, is a PDA on your watch. This watch uses the Palm OS, and believe it or not, it isn't a stripped down version of it. With the 8mb of memory in the watch you will be able to store thousands of addresses, years of appointments, memos, third-party Palm OS applications (yes, that includes games), and more. To connect it to your computer for hot syncing there is a small USB plug on the side of the watch, and to use the PDA functions of the watch there is a tiny stylus in the watch buckle. In fact, the stylus is so small that Fossil includes two of them with the watch, just in case. Also worth mentioning is that this bad boy has customizable watch faces.
