This unique personal simulation system provides a whole body total immersion gaming experience right in your own home. We couldn't help but migrate towards this large contraption at the CES 2007 ShowStoppers event. One of our editors took it for a spin and as you can see from that big smile she really enjoyed it. Not only can you rotate, you can also twist, tilt, and pan thanks to its unique patented multimodal crown support from which players are suspended.
Both domestic and commercial versions will be released, but the domestic version does not need its own power source and can connect and get power directly from your PC. And it's easy to setup and store. Expect it to be available in March 2007 for around $1700.

CES 2007 Cherry Picks: NETGEAR Dual-Mode DECT Cordless Phone with Skype
I’m a hard-sell when it comes to VoIP handsets, in fact some might say I was just plain picky. I can’t see the point of anything that has to be plugged in to a USB port (unless you’ve got a server at home, would you really want to leave your PC on all the time on the off-chance that you want to make a call?) and I want as much of the software functionality available from the handset itself without having to go to a computer to set it up. Well, NETGEAR have met my arduous demands and actually gone a bit further; their SPH200D works both with Skype and your PSTN landline, allowing calls to and from both to be managed simultaneously.
Based on the DECT standard, a full-colour screen, speakerphone and capacity for up to four handsets registered to each base-station round out what’s on offer for the $199.99 MRSP. It’s available now.
