Windoro: The Magnetic Window-Washing Robot

During our foray into the “robots” section of the south hall here at CES, we found this little guy. I heard about this guy a few months back somewhere, but it was something else seeing it in action. I mean, it’s not like it was going crazy or anything, but look at it! The two halves (I prefer to think of them as twins) attach to each other through the glass magnetically and then work their way systematically over the window with its little microfiber cloths. Love it. Here are some more pictures of this guy. It’s from a company called Ilshim.

Polaroid And Lady Gaga Introduce Grey GL30 Instant Camera

The camera Polaroid teased last month, at the time simply (and ominously) called “Grey,” has been revealed by no less than Lady Gaga herself (about 40 minutes late), who claims to have been intimately involved with the design process. It’s pretty much what it looks like: a digital Polaroid camera that doubles as a wireless color printer. It’s got a flip-up LCD where you frame your shot; the controls are all under there unless you’re just firing one off.

The guys at NotionAddicts recorded our live video of the Notion Ink Adam Tablet interview in which we give the device a fair shake and explain ourselves to the man Rohan himself. He was very gracious and quite generous with his time. The jury’s still out in John’s mind, but we’ll see when the pre-order ships.

They’ll be publishing more of the interview shortly and we’ll have a snipped out version as well soon. What did you think?

Oh man, I was so pumped to get my hands on this thing. This is the beautiful retro-styled, APS-C sensored, dial-covered compact camera we heard about a few months back, and immediately fell in love with. It’s got a “hybrid viewfinder” that either works as a regular see-through thing with overlay, or you can flip a switch and it becomes an EVF.

Plus, just look at that sucker. More details at our previous post; we’ll have a review unit soon.

Thinking about buying both a new TV and a Boxee Box? Well, I can save you some trouble. Viewsonic has included Boxee as an included app on its new line of connected HDTVs. It’s nothing crazy — you can just run Boxee on the thing, without the box. No price, but it should be arriving in Q2.

Samson Meteor Mic: Meteor-y

I use a Samson capsule mic to record my podcasts and I really want to get a hold of this mic for the road. It’s a tiny, CD quality 16-bit mic with a chrome-plated body and built-in tripod. It works without drivers on Macs and PCs and includes a 1/8-inch headphone jack and headphone volume control. It even comes with a handy pouch.
