CES ShowStopping
By embaltz - Jan 09, 2007
ShowStoppers was the hottest spot on the strip tonight, showcasing technological standouts to an enthusiastic crowd at the Wynn. Hilarious veterans from Wow Wee Ltd brought back the singing Elvis head, while Hobbytron.com helped me learn to shoot an Airsoft rifle powered by compressed gas - exactly what the Police train on! Lightsnake provided more entertainment by introducing the greatest generic cable. Able to plug into any instrument, Lightsnake makes recording live music one step easier. They also showcased a blogging kit, complete with microphone, voice lessons, and software. How could they forget the NoDoz?
But the true ShowStopper was Jawbone, Aliph's hottest product, and Yves Behar's lastest brain child. This wireless headset uses military-grade technology to get rid of nasty background noise, while remaining lightweight, comfortable, and beautifully designed. Minimal push-button operation is intuitive and effective. Behar himself was supposed to be in attendance for this evening's festivities, but word on the street is that a Baby Behar is expected any day now. Congratulations Yves! We'll refrain from the jaw-breaking puns and wish you and Aliph continued success.
