What is going on here? We don’t know. I don’t know why they made this poor man dress up like this nor do we know what he’s trying to sell. As a marketing exercise, I suspect they’ve failed. Or they haven’t, considering that you watched the video.

Check our more CES WTF here.

How about the Zood 3D!

Here’s what Twice has to say about it, which makes it sound pretty cool, but what a freaking name:

iStation: The Korean company plans early 2011 delivery of the Zood 3D tablet, which uses polarized glass to display 3D images without glasses and provides 2D to 3D conversion. It features Android 2.1 OS, 7-inch 800 by 480 capacitive touchscreen, 1080p with HDMI output, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, web browser, A/V playback, USN 2.0 Host, HDMI 1.3 output, composite-video output, Bluetooth 2.1 EDR, SDHC card slot, e-book reader, document viewer, dictionary and gravity sensor for use in playing games. It comes in 16GB and 32GB versions. Pricing was unavailable.

There was some interesting tech at Unveiled, but it's really about experiencing the lunacy that is every CES press event. Tortellini, drinks, booth jostling, and crowd noise are all I remember. Caution: lots of video windows inside. RAM use may skyrocket.]]>

Just can’t read that iPhone alarm clock from across the room? Check out the iPad alarm clocks, big enough to see from space.

Sometimes you just need to take a break and play with some sweet RC toys.


Blue Microphones. They’re blue, and they’re microphones. What more do you need to know?


Nicholas goes nuts over the Celestron connected telescope. Like astronomy? Want your kids to as well? Check this out.


Black & Decker shredders. I know, sounds boring, but these things were awesome. I can’t believe that big one is only a hundred bucks!


Technocel is an all-purpose emergency charge pack with adapters for most phones. We had a few dying iPhones in our midst, and these guys were a welcome sight.

Biggs relishes the company of female PR representatives.


All right. We’ll be live again in an hour or so. We’ll let you know.
