" OQO Model 2+  OQO is a marvel of miniaturization. It packs an Intel Atom processor, a slide out keyboard, and world wide 3G connectivity into a pocket-size device. It&amp;#039;s a full Vista computer that can be used while walking around. This is the first computer with an OLED touch screen, providing the highest image quality on the market-and it still runs $1000 to $1500, cheaper than many of its competitors. Samsung MBP200 projector  Samsung&amp;#039;s MBP200 is out to win the handheld projector war. This media player with a DLP projector built in is unlike similar models (which line the floor at CES) because it can switch between displaying videos and photos on its 2.2-in. QVGA screen, and a projector. Furthermore, the projected display can be blown up to 50 in. without serious sacrifices in quality. Aside from the screen, and the sleek design, the smartest thing about this device is its input flexibility-it accepts micro SD cards, or it can be hooked up directly to a phone or computer via USB. As far as pics go, this is the best iteration we&amp;#039;ve seen, allowing business-types to preload presentations (it reads PDFs, PowerPoint and text files) and &amp;quot;the kids&amp;quot; to bask in the projected glow of their cellphone footage or YouTube clips.  LG Watch Phone  We never thought we would see the day that the watch phone--a James Bond, Get Smart dream for ages--would become a serious consumer product. With LG&amp;#039;s pursuit of a touchscreen watch phone, the day may have actually come. And although it is easy enough to call the watch phone a gimmick, LG&amp;#039;s touchscreen design is so sleek, we can&amp;#039; help but want to put one on. The watch phones are planned to be in production by the end of the year. At that time, LG might just convince tech nerds to start using wristwatches again.  Yahoo TV Widgets interfaces  Internet browsing on the TV has always been an awkward fit, an interface that can hijack a multiperson viewing experience to answer a single person&amp;#039;s query. Yet the Internet is becoming an extraordinarily rich content delivery vehicle, and TV manufacturers know that. Yahoo&amp;#039;s widgets give bite-sized browsing and hide quickly and easily when they aren&amp;#039;t needed. And since the widget interface is extensible, new functions can be added as time goes on. At launch, Yahoo widgets will deliver Flickr photos, stock quotes and weather and sports info. But in the future, widgets could provide an alternative to the traditional television channel paradigm. Lenovo w700ds Laptop  With the w700ds, Lenovo had a clear goal: To build a mobile workstation that would give photographers as much performance and power as any desktop station. To do that, the company gave the w700ds a wide color screen, a built-in color calibrator and a digitizer for touching up photos. Of course, the laptop&amp;#039;s much-anticipated feature is its slide-out screen which imbeds the primary 17-in. monitor with a secondary 10.6-incher (great for keeping Photoshop tabs, or an IM or e-mail window). Yes, it&amp;#039;s heavy (11 pounds), and a bit pricey (expect to pay in excess of $3600 for most configurations), but if photography and graphic design are your livelihood, the ability to take your work on the road without sacrifices may make it worth it. And for the rest of us, a dual-screen laptop is just plain cool. Powermat  We keep expecting wireless charging pads to take off in a big way. And while there has been a lot of excitement of late around inductive charging in the past year--researchers at both MIT and Intel have recently demonstrated the ability to throw charge several feet through thin air--the traditional knock on inductive charging is that it must be done slowly to avoid excessive heat buildup. The new Powermat, however, is the first product to bring a serious step forward in charging speed: The Powermat can inductively charge iPods, iPhones and Blackberry devices as quickly as the chargers that come with the devices. Furthermore, the product can be installed behind walls or under counters to make for a truly wireless home. The creators of Powermat claim that the devices are more power-efficient than charging with a traditional AC adapter and the mat is expected to hit stores by fall. Ford Microsoft Sync  The Ford/Microsoft Sync in-auto computer system has wowed us in the past by bringing voice-activated communication and music into the car. The new version of Sync, which will debut on 2010 models, increases the service&amp;#039;s usefulness by adding voice-delivered turn-by-turn navigation. How it works: Users simply say the address or name of a business they are trying to reach, and the GPS-fueled system tells them how to get there. Users preferences stay with their phones, allowing them to carry over as they hop into other Sync-enabled vehicles. And consumers can try it for three years before ever having to pay a subscription fee. Palm Pre  Palm, the creators of the PDA--and, you could argue, the smart phone--finally responded to the iPhone with a multitouch smart phone of its own. The Palm Pre, like the iPhone, has a 3.1-in. multitouch display, similar hard-buttons-power up top, a single central navigation button-and lots of swiping and tapping controls. Bu also has a slide-out full-qwerty keyboard, and a micro USB port for power and data transfer, as well as an LED flash for the internal camera. The removable back cover allows for battery-swapping and, this is key, it has a cleaner operating system. When you rotate the Pre, every application switches to landscape mode. You can have multiple apps open at once, and clicking the nav button zooms out, allowing you to toggle between open programs with as swipe. And it comes with a bit of gee-whiz technology: an inductive power charger. Meaning you place the Pre onto the charger, and it charges, no cords necessary.  Flatwire HDMI Cable  Hiding cables can be difficult, and often forces homeowners to drill holes in their walls. FlatWire has taken care of this for years with power cords that look more like a piece of tape than a high-bandwidth digital cable. Now, Flatwire is planning on doing this for HDMI cable, giving HD flat screens everywhere a simple way to hide their cords. Homeowners can run this HDMI cable from their TV, and paint over it like it was nothing more than a strip of drywall tape.  Panasonic SDR camcorder line  Putting together any digital imaging device with an intense zoom is difficult-the further out you zoom, the shakier your video becomes. Panasonic&amp;#039;s line of SDR camcorders are the first to feature a 70x optical zoom that has the stabilization software that can handle such a zoom. We played with them, and when we were able to zoom in on tiny letters printed all the way across the convention floor, the shakiness was nearly nonexistent.  Polaroid Pogo Digital Camera  Polaroid may be killing their instant film division, but that doesn&amp;#039;t mean the end of instant photography. The Polaroid Pogo Instant Digital Camera is the first digital camera to be released in the United States that features a built-in printer. The printer uses ZINK heat-activated pigments to print photos without the need for a traditional ink printer. Shure PG27USB Microphones and X2u adapter  With a rise in music, podcasts and video production at home, there is a growing marketplace for cheap USB microphones. But as home operations get less makeshift and more professional, better recording equipment is needed. That&amp;#039;s where Shure comesin in. The PG27USB microphone ($199) is a high-grade Shure microphones that connects to any USB computer port for &amp;quot;Plug and Play&amp;quot; studio-quality performance. But if you want to use your own professional microphone, the X2u adapter ($129) allows you to connect any XLR microphone to a computer for better-than-cd quality recordings on the fly.  Cloud Engine Pogoplug  Having access to all your files over the internet should be as easy as it is with the Pogoplug. A box connects a USB hard drive to your home network in order to let you access your files from over the internet. Plug it in and your files are onlin---it&amp;#039;s that easy. And for only $79 with no monthly fee, why wouldn&amp;#039;t you jump into this simple remote access? Furthermore, it comes with an iPhone app that allows you to access your hard drive from your iPhone. This makes this great not only for your desktop computer, but for your netbook or smart phone.  Sony Bravia VE5 Series TV  This is one of the greenest TVs in the world. The Bravia VE5 Series bring the first TVs we have seen that give a major reduction in standby mode with a zero-watt standby power switch. To further it&amp;#039;s energy-friendliness, this television&amp;#039;s efficient backlight reduced the Bravia&amp;#039;s power by nearly 50 percent and a motion sensor turns the TV off when you forget to (or fall asleep before you get the chance). A light sensor also allows for dynamic backlight control, giving the appropriate minimal amount of power needed to best illuminate any room.  Sony Vaio P Series  This is what a netbook is supposed to be--lightweight, with a crisp screen, integrated GPS and 3G wireless broadband. The netbook--which is currently available for preorder for about $900--is a mere 1.4 pounds and is can fit in a jacket pocket. The high-resolution 8-in.-wide LCD screen is made for viewing web pages like it were a desktop and the built-in GPS is great for navigating like a smart phone.  Kodak ZX1  The new Kodak ZX1 (coming out in April), is just what every Flip-advocate wants: A handheld 720p-capable HD camera that is splash and dirt-resistant, and will cost only $150. We doubt the ZX1 is going to win any cinematography Oscars, but it&amp;#039;s a recession-conscious way to shoot hi-def home movies of the family, and--bonus--you don&amp;#039;t have to cry if the baby spits up on the camera.  LinkSys by Cisco Media Hub  The LinkSys by Cisco Media Hub has all the functions of a home server for far less money (starting at $300). The Media Hub stores and streams all your music and videos and is capable of streaming three simultaneous high-definition video streams over the internet without all the hassle--or cost--of an elaborate home server.  Blaupunkt Internet Car Radio  The world&amp;#039;s first internet car radio from BlauPunkt gives drivers access to an unprecedented number of stations. The Stereo internet car radio uses Bluetooth to tap into internet radio provider miRoamer&amp;#039;s nearly 30 thousand stations (so far), which are easily searchable through any Bluetooth-enabled Internet device.
