- Day One Wrap-Up
Here's a collection of small things that turned up today on
the first full day of the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, including
some great new info about the Palm Pre.

- Palm Hits A Triple With The Pre
Today at CES Palm unveiled its next-generation mobile platform and
the first piece of hardware running on that platform. The Palm Pre
and WebOS are solid steps forward for Sprint, but they aren't a home run. Yet.

- Celio Beefs Up Redfly Smartphone Companion
Celio announced a new set of hardware and software products to enhance
the usability of smartphones on the road. Its new docking station gives
smartphones the ability to add a mouse, keyboard, and external display.

- Nokia Bringing E63 Smartphone To The U.S.
Nokia first introduced the E63 smartphone back in November. It is a solid
little smartphone that offers a good feature set at a great price point.
Today, Nokia announced that it will be available in the United States.

- OQO's Model 2+ Impresses
OQO, which has been making small, fully functional Windows machines for
years, debuted its latest hardware, the model 2+. Key improvements include
a much faster Intel Atom processor, an OLED display, and worldwide 3G
wireless data capabilities.

- Sony Ericsson Pops Out Two New Phones
Ah, finally some phone announcements. This evening, Sony Ericsson
unveiled a new Cyber-Shot phone and a new Walkman phone.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=35&m=30915363&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDQ5NzMyMzMS1&mt=1&rt=0

- Upload Video From Camera Straight To YouTube Via Eye-Fi
Eye-Fi's SD card for cameras has allowed photogs to take pictures and
wirelessly upload them via Wi-Fi for about a year now. Taking things to
the next level, Eye-Fi is set to bow a new service that lets users upload
video from their digital cameras directly to YouTube.

- Samsung Intros Pico Projector For Mobile Phones
Today at CES Samsung introduced a new pico projector. The device will
connect to mobile phones and allow users to project video content onto
any nearby surface.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=3&m=30915363&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDQ5NzMyMzMS1&mt=1&rt=0

- SD Card Association Sets Spec for 2-TB Memory Cards
No, that's not a typo. 32-GB MicroSD cards are barely available yet
and the SD Card Association today introduces SD eXtended Capacity. SDXC
will be able to fit up to 2 TB of data onto a small memory card.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=50&m=30915363&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDQ5NzMyMzMS1&mt=1&rt=0

- LG Offers Little To Gloat About
Continuing the line of evolutionary -- not revolutionary -- announcements
at CES 2009, LG showed off its watch phone during is press conference this
morning. It also introduced a solar-powered car kit.

- CES 2009: So Far, So Boring
It's CES Eve's Eve here in Las Vegas. The Consumer Electronics Association
kicked things off to a somber start with the CES Unveiled event, a veritable
snoozefest of lackluster gadgets and gizmos.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=27&m=30915363&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDQ5NzMyMzMS1&mt=1&rt=0

SOUNDING BOARD: READERS WEIGH IN

"I expect that Apple and the content producers have determined a fair
price to insure against the cost of illegal (their terms, not mine)
copying and that that fee is what is the difference in price. That's a
business-like way to handle an issue like this."

- Apple Shafts Customers With DRM Deal
Yesterday, Apple announced that it's stripping digital rights management
from the iTunes Music Store. That's great, but customers who want to upgrade
are getting a raw deal.

- Can A Super 'Nova' Save Palm?
Palm's CES press conference is mere days away. Before Palm CEO Ed Holligan
has a chance to tell us what the company is up to, the Internet has coughed
up some details and a rough sketch of the new smartphone from Palm.
http://links.techwebnewsletters.com/ctt?kn=31&m=30915363&r=MTM4NTY5MzE2NgS2&b=2&j=NDQ5NzMyMzMS1&mt=1&rt=0

- Analyst: Apple To Debut Alternate Version Of iPhone
Ah, the rumor lives on. An analyst has chimed in with his thoughts on Apple's
future product lineup. In the mix, you guessed it, is a "lower-cost version
of the iPhone." The analyst stops short of calling this device the iPhone
Nano, but that's what it's widely believed to be.

reporting success, while others are reporting failure.
