This one’s for the geeks who also enjoy music. Carry your dictionary around while listening to your fav tunes.

So, we’ve written up a little on this tiny gizmo, the Walletex Mp3 player that’s the size of a credit card. And here we see it up close and personal in all its glory. Rep claims it to be the “Paris Hilton” of mp3 players.

We are blogging live here from the annual very exclusive Cherry Picks event at CES where a gazillion of the latest gadgets are given their minute on stage to bathe in a sea of flashes as the rep gives their best speel. So, stay tuned as new posts are being added live (pictures and video will be added later). Here’s a pic of us setting up early.

The VistaPix IS70 combines a traditional 70mm spotting scope and a 3-megapixel digital camera into one single device.  The digital spotter has a large 2-inch LCD flip screen for easy location and focusing of objects.

You have the option to use the spotting scope for observing like a normal spotting scope, or use it to take images and record video at low or high power with the built-in CCD camera.  The VistaPix IS70 is intended for outdoor photography, voyeurs, hunters, birders, sporting enthusiasts, surveillance and more.

The new nX6000 is the answer to my prayer for a Bluetooth headset that doesn’t suck ass. I’ve been using the nXZEN 5000 for a few weeks now – and I’m just in awed at how great it sounds. Gennum use digital signal processor (DSP) to boost acoustic performance, reduce background noise and isolate voice for hands-free mobile communication.

So what makes the nX6000 rock so hard? First of all, it’s roughly 50% smaller than the previous models, and provides and orgasmic experience. It features a dual microphone array that isolates voice, and Gennum’s patented FrontWave Extreme acoustic processing. So what does this mean for you as the user or the lucky guy on the receiving end? You’re able to hear and be heard clearly – even during window-down, music blaring highway driving.

Now, we’ve seen plenty of waterproof cases for the iPod, but this EGO-Waterproof Sound Case incorporates some waterproof speakers which I suppose gives it that added oomph. Equipped with rubberized bumper guards and a shatterproof polycarbonate body, the EGO case can be tossed into the pool or hung in the shower. I wasn’t incredibly excited about the product, but it’s always fun to see a booth display with an iPod sitting dangerously in a container dunked in a tank of water clinging for dear life much like some FearFactor ordeal. But unfortunately those pictures ended up all fuzzy, so there’s none here for your enjoyment.

SlashGear team showed up early this year in Las Vegas to bring you pre-CES show coverage. We have a chance to visit the show floor while it’s in the making. Enjoy the pictures of the show floor while exhibitors are putting their booth and products.
