Philips CES Booth Tour

Did Philips follow their "sense and simplicity" theme? We didn't take their word for it; we gave ourselves a self-guided booth tour. Check the pics and you be the judge.

Gratuitous Blu-Ray p0rn followed by an encore.

Itty-bitty 512 MB portable audio device with display, mini-SD slot, FM tuner and voice recorder.

About an inch thick; not bad.

We caught folks playing electronic Scrabble on the Entertable.

Wireless audio had some good floor space.

Philips Ambilight doesn't work well with a flash pic.

Oh, that's much better. Bad pic of the display, but the Ambilight appeared to help with contrast and brightness to the eye.

Nice use of the side inputs from Phillips.

Philips does realize that portable audio needs to be portable, right? No, they had this in a palm-sized form-factor too.

Looks similar to a Logitech Fusion web cam, but handles 90 fps.

Last up was a rollable paper display, well almost last.

We keep our Senseo under glass too. Really.

I was looking at BLU-RAY and the font makes it look like BLU-RRY from far away.

looking forward to see what that rollable display can do for laptops.



reminds me of the cyberpunk 2020 pen&paper rpg...

Looking forward to the rollable displays as well... reminds me of Gundam Seed. First episode they had a rollable display laptop...



looking forward to the future.

Man dont hide your lust for the Sony Blue Ray. Its funny when it HDDVD you use the name of sony's format before last failure Betamax, but when its blue Ray you call it porn. Man I think both so far look like crap you can get from goodwill. To retro looking. All they need is woodgrain and they have it all.

#5: Don't worry, we'll deliver one rollable Ambilight Senseo at the end of the year along with a few 1080P LCD FlatTVs and a big OLED FlatTV Modea.



P.S; Since you are so special, it will be a Senseo Alu {VIP} which we do not sell anywhere outside The Netherlands.
