The Underwater Digital Interface, a.k.a. UDI, is the world’s first digital undersea text messaging and SOS emergency communications. It was invented/manufactured by Israel’s Underwater Technology Center (UTC) and its patented technology gives you a greater degree of security than anything else on the market.
After the bizarrely huge 32-inch digital photo frame Smartparts announced at CES 2008, this SP8PRT could almost be overlooked being a mere 8-inch panel. However, hidden inside the frame is the display’s secret weapon: a printer, that can produce copies of images stored on the device for people to take away with them.
We already knew Digital Foci were launching three full-sized digital photo frames at CES this year, but it turns out they have some pocket versions in the pipeline too. The Pocket Album range consists of a 1.5-inch and 2.8-inch OLED screen in a compact casing, the former capable of storing the 120 photos and the latter in excess of 3,000, both displaying those images either according to a preset order or randomly.
Pulse Link logo may become the standard print on next generation of HD devices along with CWave fever. It’s Gefen this time that announced World’s first HDMI over coax for High Definition video connectivity with Pulse-LINK’s CWave(R) UWB technology. I’m not sure about you, but I am psyched about the ability to extend the reach of HDMI from room to room over their existing in-home coax cabling, that including splitters according to Pulse~LINK.
While the industry is busy engineering a more sophisticated multimedia hand-held, Motorola is experimenting the DVB-H technology with a portable mobile TV player on-the-go.

If you think the PhotoVu PV2265w 22” Digital Picture Frame is big, wait until you see the whooping 32” model SP3200 from Smartparts. Like PhotoVu, the Smartparts’s digital photo frame uses a widescreen LCD panel. Unlike PhotoVu, it’s not wireless and has a lower resolution of 1366×768 (16:9) compare to 1680×1050 (16:10). Overall, it’s 10” in dialog bigger and $400 cheaper with less features. Smartparts will be presenting the Sp3200 at CES 2008 and looks forward to see it on the street with a price tag of $899 coming this February.

Not only is it apparently skinnable, but you can do just about everything with it, I bet you could probably play Xbox 360 and PS3 with it if you tried hard enough. This touch panel can not only control devices that output audio and video, but the Rosie itself can output audio and video.
It has a touchscreen TFT LCD, WiFi, and an integrated webcam. It can control A/V for several rooms, control a digital media server, act as a jukebox, perform surveillance duties and home automation.
Yves Saint Laurent had Cathérine Deneuve, Galliano had Lady Amanda Harlech, and now Scott Jordon – the man behind the SCOTTeVEST line of geek-favourite gadget-toting coats – has Judie Lipsett Hughes. Turns out, Scott was fed up of seeing Judie sporting men’s coats from SCOTTeVEST, and so used her as his muse for the new line of women’s jackets. Which is a great excuse to look at outerwear overflowing with hidden pockets, headphone channels and more.
