Digital Trends
Buttons belong to 20th century. While we’re sure that making electrical contact with the press of finger seemed nigh-miraculous at the same time that most people were still using the bathroom outside, the little switches and levers that brought us to this current age of technology have worn out their welcome. We’re ready for something better. We’re ready for something more refined. We’re ready for touch screens.
What you see is no longer what you get. With the advent of Blu-ray Profile 2.0, also known as BD-Live, the content pressed onto a disc when it leaves the factory no longer represents the limit of the experience. A live Internet connection allows Profile 2.0 players to deliver extra content through the Web: everything from trivia games and extra clips to mini games. And to really take advantage of the Internet connectivity that these players carry, many manufacturers have pushed the limits even further, packing compatibility with Netflix streaming, YouTube, Pandora and other online content into the same boxes.
There are a lot of unbelievable products at every Consumer Electronics Show – and a lot of buzz over nothing thanks to some clever PR, too. We’ve separated the wheat from the chaff to deliver the top 10 most impressive products from this year’s show, and there’s a lot to get excited about.
TomTom GO 740
A wireless modem within allows the TomTom GO 740 to link up with TomTom’s servers for access to everything from weather and gas prices to localized Google POI searches. Even better, it taps into traffic information fed from other live GPS devices, letting TomTom layer that information on top of conventional traffic feeds.
