The Top Five Sexiest Gadgets at CES 2009

1.) JVC 32 inch LCD TV

Televisions are always one of the main attractions at CES. In past years, manufacturers battled it out to produce the biggest screens - this year they are competing for the thinnest. This JVC is a piece of art. It weighs 5kg (11 lbs) and is a mere 7mm (0.27 in) thick. The display sits atop a curvy helix-like stand that adds lightness to the design.


2.) Palm Pre

Palm launched their new "Pre" smart phone that goes head to head with the Iphone and Blackberry. The product features a curvy touchscreen which measures 3.1 inches and also has a slide out keyboard for typing. Like the Iphone, the Pre can be turned sideways and automatically switches to widescreen mode. Features include GPS, Bluetooth, and a 3 megapixel camera. The major innovation in the Palm Pre is their all-new webOS platform, which is filled with powerful graphic and gesture-based interactions. Additionally the device’s charger uses wireless power, a first in a mainstream device.


3.) LG GD910 - Wrist phone

Wanna feel like James Bond? LG has introduced their first HSDPA wrist phone. It features a small LCD touch screen that enables high speed video conferencing, mp3 playing and much more. Every boys dream has finally come true.


4.) Sony Vaio P Series

With their P-series lifestyle PCs, Sony is adding a new entry into the market. These new compact computers are ultra small, with a very wide format display and small keyboard. When closed it looks like a small purse and when opened it has a crisp screen and metallic keyboard with a trackball mouse.


5.) PowerMat

A revolutionary new design which aims to help frustrated users charge their army of battery powered devices. Instead of fumbling with power cords and adapters, Powermat charges your phone, mp3 player and other gadgets wirelessly. The system works with a non-conductive Powermat which syncs with receivers attached to your devices. Powermat eventually hopes that manufacturers will integrate wireless charging receivers into devices making syncing even easier. The mat will retail for around $100 and the receivers will be around $35 when the system is launched later this year.

I want #4 and #5!

Samsung is supposed to have announced a flat-panel TV this past weekend at CES that is 6.5-millimeters thin - that barely thicker than the cardboard used in the box that holds your morning Wheaties.

Until now the record for a full size television with anorexia (haha) was held by Philips, which publicly unveiled an 8mm prototype LCD television at the IFA electronics show in Berlin. At the same event Sony had a 9.9mm set that is on sale and it is currently the thinnest LCD TV available for purchase.

Can screens get thinner? Yes. Sony is working on screens so thin as to be flexible. See Youtube video posted in 2007 below.
