Cool Stuff at CES

If you were doing something else today (like working), you might not be aware that CES is currently going on. Most everything good is probably covered by Engadget or Gizmodo. Personally, my favorite two items for the day are the new Sony Reader and TiVo 3.

The Sony Reader uses eInk and the gizmodo article says that it should be around $300 – $400. Personally, my price point on something like that is more like $200, but everyone who had to carry a box of books in my move probably wishes I had something like that.

On PVRblog, there is a story detailing some of the features of the forthcoming TiVo 3 (with forthcoming translating to mid to late 2006). Some of the most interesting features include cablecard support for digital cable, mpeg4 support for downloaded content, HD support, and an external SATA connector for drive expansion. Hopefully, by the time this comes out, I’ll be able to afford one. If you’re feeling generous, you can also help the cause by using Awaken.com to rip your CDs. :-)
