21. Sony Dsc-H200
Never to have actively catered to the
entry-level of the market, Sony made a bold move by announcing the Prosumer level
DSC-H200 compact camera at the CES. Designed to look more like a DSLR, this
fixed lens cam still has a 26x optical zoom, a massive 20.1MP sensor and an ISO
sensitivity of 3200, making it a capable low-light weapon. The deal clincher
will be its price though, which should be in the region of $15,000 when
launched.
Now that’s tempting!

22. Monster Diesel
Its partnership with Diesel is yielding
some pretty interesting results for Monster. The VEKTR range consists of two
finishes - Chrome and Military Green. The diamond-cut Diesel logo goes a long
way in making a statement besides the cutting-edge design. Monster won’t
divulge much information about what makes them so special, but we’re made to
understand that the Monster Pure Sound package makes them as close to studio
monitors as possible.

23. LG 55EM9700 Oled TV
As most CES concepts go, the OLED TV from
LG is the exception by quite a margin. Merely a year after its show debut, it
is being put on commercial sale in Korea by next month. Measuring a petite 4mm
in thickness and less than 10kg in weight, this size-zero telly is unperturbed
by ambient light and always works at optimum contrast. So ask your other
LED-toting buddies to suck it and start saving up something around $10,000!

24. NVIDIA Project Shield
We can’t blame NVIDIA to be tempted to
think that they can make a gaming console better than anyone else. The Project
Shield was protected under a glass case at all times but we were excited at its
capabilities. Running full stock Android, it has a million games waiting for it
already through the Play Store and it will also play buddy with PC games via
streaming. Its HD screen rocks with the Tegra 4 chip and word is that more
games are being optimised for this platform.

25. Sharp GMX -10
Adding a touch of color to the show was the
Sharp ghetto blaster-esque iPod dock. Besides stunning its prey with more
lights than Vegas, it also made them feel nostalgic with a CD player and a
single color display. It goes beyond playing your MP3 files though. It can
actually amplify your tunes with a MIC and guitar input. In our brief demo, we
weren’t blown away by the sound quality but if you feel like starting a jam at
the corner shop, now you can!
26. LG Laser TV
Designed for tight spaces in a commercial
or living room setting, the LG Laser TV projector is designed to throw images
from a distance of a mere 22in. Capable of Full HD resolution, it also supports
LG’s Smart TV platform which includes a Magic Remote and Intel WiDi
compatibility too. If you want to impress a small group of people, it also has
built-in speakers so you can go from Indiana Jones to a sales forecast in an
instant.

27. Samsung Curved Oled
Showcased as a concept technology, Samsung
displayed the world’s first OLED display to have a curved screen.
Theoretically, this will enhance the viewing pleasure by making the experience
more immersive and reducing glare. No word was out on a release date and
potential screen sizes, but the demo seemed to be working effectively for the
one person who grabbed the center position. So there could be some work lined
up for Samsung.

28. Sharp Aquosled
Dubbed as the world’s largest LED TV, the
90in Sharp is no thicker than a Blu-ray disc and will also look stunning
playing its content in active 3D mode. With almost twice the brightness level
as compared to passive 3D TVs, Sharp claims this 90in behemoth will provide a
more engrossing experience thanks to its Quattron picture-processing engine. As
common practice, Wi-Fi is standard and so is an App store that gives you access
to basic goodies.
29. HAP iFork
Now we know the first thing you do at a
coffee shop or a restaurant is search for a freely available Wi-Fi signal.
Well, the next time you get lucky swindling a freebie, enjoy your meal using
the iFork a giant piece of plastic and metal silverware that monitors your
calorie intake as you eat, and sends the information back to home base. But the
burning question here is, if you can’t see what you’re eating, should you be
eating it anyway?
30. Panasonic DMC-XS1
Panasonic has no word about it in their
press release, but we’re pretty sure the XS in its nomenclature stands for
‘xtra small’. A hair more than half an inch even with the lens in action, this
16.1MP cam has a 5x optical zoom and a wide-angle 24mm lens that is great for
panoramas straight out of a fitted jean pocket. You might even end up
withdrawing from Instagram since this cam has 13 filters to satiate the budding
artiste in you.

31. Panasonic N P-10
Most brands stay away from tablet docks
like the plague, but not Panasonic. Within its compact housing, this 2.1
speaker system tries hard to squeeze out every ounce of performance from your
tablet multimedia via Bluetooth Re-master technology that is claimed to
compensate for the lossy wireless transmission. The 12-degree angle aims the
speakers at the listener even at close quarters, providing a wide stereo image.

32. Sennheiser SET 900
Just like a pair of glasses for your ears,
the Sennheiser Set 900 offers the unique blend of amplifying ambient noises as
well as watching TV in the privacy of your own space. If you take it with you
to a concert hall that is IR-enabled, you could even control the level of the
orchestra to suit your listening needs! At home, it doubles up as a personal
listening device or as an assistive hearing aid, enhancing even the subtlest of
sounds from faraway locations.
