Industry giant Kodak showboated its EasyShare Picture Viewer, a unit the width of a couple credit cards that is expected on the market in May for about $150. It features a 2.5-inch liquid-crystal display and a Secure Digital card slot. This allows user mobility and display capability through single, album or slide-show modes. A photo viewer also allows users to print images (although its production still needs help). Furthermore, users can mark photos for e-mail or printing and sync the device with their PC-based photo collections.
The inch-thick 7.2-MP 3X optical zoom Cyber-shot P200 rolled out of Sony Electronics’ corner. It may be slimmer than others in the P series, but it is convenient for travel and even sports a larger 2-inch display.
Sakar rolled out some notable Web cams, disguised as a sports memorabilia. (Another interesting Sakar product included a mousepad with built-in speakerphone.)
In regards to video player products, Toshiba used CES to announce plans to launch its first HD DVD player and recorder in the fourth quarter this year. The player and recorder will play back HD DVD video, DVD video and CD audio discs. Users will also have Ethernet terminals for interactive capabilities. Universal Home Video and Paramount have also announced such plans.
Panasonic introduced three new DIGA DVD camcorders that capture crisp, high-resolution digital video and still images in one compact package, its exhibitors boasted. All three models - the VDR-M54, VDR-M75 and VDR-M95 - record high-quality digital video on removable 8cm DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs. They also offer the ability of nonlinear editing of home videos right on the camcorder.
"These new DIGA DVD camcorders are the logical choice in DVD recording," said Rudolf Vitti, national marketing manager of Panasonic. "They offer easy recording onto DVD media, in-camera editing and no-nonsense playback via a standard home DVD player."
The audio industry unveiled more than a handful of improved technologies. With iPods all the craze, company after company displayed their addition to the iPod accessory community. However, not many compared to Maxell’s line.
Maxell’s accessories for iPod and other Mini players include a $35 remote control and receiver, $40 battery back-up pack, $40 universal charging dock, $30 digital FM transmitters and $7 Y-splitter for dual headset capability. Another notable accessory from Maxell includes the $30 voice recorder, which enables users to record, store and playback personal messages, conversations or lectures.
Audiovox released its new iMOBILE kit, which is an iPod adapter kit for most OEM radios that enables iPod song and artist information to appear on a car radio screen. It also allows iPod maneuvering from steering wheel controls. The product, priced at $200, debuted on the market this month.
