Total Control
With media Pcs making their way into our living rooms, remote controls have gotten a lot more complicated. Logitech's diNovo mini keeps it simple while giving you complete control. The size of your palm, this Bluetooth remote flips open to reveal a keyboard and an easy-touse touch pad.www.logitech.com
Bringing It Home
Lenovo's ideaPad line of notebooks merges entertainment and computing power in an easy-to-tote package. The 15.4-inch display on the Y510 has a frameless screen and its unique hinge lets you angle it ergonomically. Its form factor is cool, but so are some of its other features, such as VeriFace facial recognition security, dolby Home Theater sound and a multimedia control center with touchsensitive buttons.www.lenovo.com
One Touch
Motorola's new roKr E8 switches from phone to media player to camera. Those features aren't new, but the cool thing about this mobile device is you only see the buttons you need for the function the roKr is currently performing. and when you want to switch functions, it's a single touch of a button away.www.motorola.com
Eye-Popping
it may be small compared to the 100-inch-plus screens we saw on the floor, but Sony's XEL-1 oLEd (organic Light-Emitting diode) television got more attention. This slender 11-inch TV boasts an incredibly vivid picture with an outstanding contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. Samsung had a larger amoLEd (the am is for active-matrix) but Sony has them beat as to when you can buy it. it's available now for $2,500.www.sony.com
The Big Picture
The portable nav stuck on your dash usually won't help you when you're hiking in who-knows-where. That's why outdoorsy types should check out garmin's Colorado series. With 15 hours of battery life from two aa batteries, the 400t ($599) provides satellite imagery mapping and topo maps on its 3-inch screen.www.garmin.com
One For Now, One For Later
We loved Lg's concepts, such as a phone/watch or their mobile TV phone (pictured here). But since free mobile TV isn't yet to be in the u.S. (see pgs 22-23), we'll opt for the stylish Voyager phone. Features like an interactive touchscreen, QWErTY keyboard, V caST mobile TV and HTmL internet browsing will keep us happy for the time being.www.lgusa.com
Hands On The Handlebars, Please
Slim and soft, the earpieces on Parrot's SK4000 Bluetooth motorcycle kit fit comfortably in your helmet. To take a call, you just use the handlebar-mounted remote control. To do some calling of your own, simply say a contact's name, without having to prerecord voice tags!www.parrot.com
It's Here To Stay
High-def isn't going anywhere (though your old standard def camcorder should take a hike). Panasonic has taken their Hdc-Sd9 Sd-card-based Hd camcorder ($800) down to a truly puny size-only 0.606 pounds. Small enough to tuck into a roomy pocket, you have one less excuse not to make the switch to Hd.www.panasonic.com
Domestic Surveillance
Taking webcams to the next level, WowWee's rovio Wi-Fi spy robot can be controlled by any web-accessible device to report on its surroundings. Streaming both audio and video, rovio can move in any direction and even has the NorthStar smart navigation and positioning system to pinpoint its position, know the position of other objects and navigate with accuracy.www.wowwee.com
