CES 2007 Video: Planet 82 Accufat Scanner

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, CES, CES 2007, Features, Household, Misc. Tech, Videocasts,

At the show, we were on the lookout for odd, out of place products, and we think we found one in the Accufat Scanner. The whole demo was just kind of…odd. We mean, aside from the fact that is teeming with your standard gadgety fare and we didn’t expect to see a body fat scanner. During the demo, a Planet82 representative shows off their fat scanning device, and calls over another representative who seemed apprehensive to have his fat measurement taken on camera. Now that’s good comedy!

CES 2007 Video: Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Head To Head, Short Bytes, CES, CES 2007, Features, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Videocasts,

Okay, forget all the corporate-speak we have been getting on the issue. We went around and ask people wandering the floor at CES which format they liked and thought would win out in the end. We got quite a few interesting responses, many of which seeming to come from people who don’t even know that a format war even exists.

However, if you also don’t want long contracts and have no desire to deal with salesmen, LaserShield will work in just about any sized home.

CES 2007 Video: Digital Hero 3 Camera From GoPro

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Cameras, CES, CES 2007, Design, Features, Videocasts, Wireless / WiFi,

We loved the concept of the GoPro Digital Hero 3 that we saw at CES. It’s a small digital camera that straps to your wrist. It’s ultra-secure, so no worries about dropping it, and the images look fantastic. Perfect when hiking, skiing, or sporting events when you want a camera near at all times but don’t want to have to worry about putting it away and taking it out repeatedly.

CES 2007 Video: Premier Image Optics Tiny Camera Components

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Cameras, Cell Phones, CES, CES 2007, Design, Features, Videocasts, Wireless / WiFi,

Andrew Lin from Premier Image Optics shows off their projectors, digital cameras, and camera phone modules. It’s really incredible how small they can get, even when you go up to 3.2MP. They say 5MP is coming soon, but Nokia already has one in their newest N95. The projectors are pretty neat, and there are some very high megapixel cameras for a point-and-shoot.

CES 2007 Video: Loc8tor Homing Device

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gizmatic, Short Bytes, Accessories, CES, CES 2007, Features, Household, Videocasts, Wireless / WiFi,

We were able to check out the Loc8tor device at CES. This is a gadget that lets you home in on things (or people) that you have attached a small homing key to. The plus version even lets you know if a homing key moves out of your range, so you know if a kid is heading towards a street or if someone is trying to jack your gear.
