Introduction

Tonight's CES adventures lead us to the Pepcom Digital Experience. Digital Experience is a smaller showcase for exhibitors than the main CES showfloor, yet included many more companies and much more floor space than the previous night's event, CES: Unveiled. The less cramped quarters allowed us to get a little more face time in with the exhibitors and kept the lines at the buffet tables to a manageable size. With room to roam we set out to chat with industry reps under a backdrop of a "Surfs Up" themed Bellagio ballroom.

Logitech

Again we started the evening with our friends over at Logitech. At first we just wanted to say "Hi" but they quickly piqued our interest with a new product just released earlier today. Their new Apple specific keyboard and mouse combo combines the style and quality common to Logitech with the iconoclast iPod/iMac white casing. Obviously they were keeping this one under wraps, as the reps weren't authorized to breathe a word of it to us last night. These keyboards and mice will be shipping soon if you have a lonely iMac that is longing for a matching friend.

Motorola

Motorola decided to work with Oakley to create the O Rokr; it's basically the same as the RAZRWIRE, but it's all integrated. Their new Bluetooth Stereo Headphones HT820 work with Bluetooth-enabled devices including music-capable cell phones. The headset lets you answer and make calls, and if you answer a call while listening to music, it will actually pause the current track until you end the call. The music buttons are on the right erarpiece and the call buttons are on the left, and there is a small imbedded microphone.

Motorola also announced a sweet new Bluetooth earpiece. The microphone works off vibrations coming out of your ears (not thru your jaw bone), and in addition to being an isolated earphone, there is also active noise cancellation. We took a couple shots of the re-designed RAZR, the V3c; the original was cool, but it's even cooler in black.
