Clickfree already showcased a trio of new automatic backup devices , but it managed to save just one for dexterous crowd: the Traveler for BlackBerry. Similar in design to the Traveler SD , this 16GB microSD card is tailor made to slip inside of your BlackBerry and then backup critical information from your PC or Mac

Companies love to fly their “green” flags , regardless of whether or not manufacturing (or, indeed, operating) consumer electronics can ever truly be eco-friendly. That said, HP is quick to remind us that “white is the new green,” in this case the low power, mercury-free, solid state White LEDs featured in the HP Compaq LA22f (22-inch) and HP Compaq LE19f (19-inch). Otherwise, the HP ZR22w (21.5-inch) and HP ZR24w (24-inch) are LCD displays with integrated 4-port USB hubs. All of these bad boys feature HDCP compliant DVI inputs, VGA, and optional USB graphics adapter for up to six simultaneous displays. Pretty sweet, right?

No hard feelings, tx2 , but there was always something just a little “behind the curve” about your design and feature set, and we’re kind of glad HP decided to go all-new with its TouchSmart tm2 followup. The 12.1-inch laptop is powered by new Intel Core 2 Duo procs and even discrete ATI Mobility Radeon graphics if you’re man enough, and claims 9 hours of battery life off its standard 6-cell. Most importantly, the capacitive multitouch screen is finger and pen friendly. The physical design takes some cues from HP’s new Envy laptops, including the controversial unibutton touchpad and lovable aluminum build, and seems decently thinner, lighter and stronger than the tx2.

Stepping across the not-so-fine line between regular projectors that you’d bring home to your parents and those rebellious pico affairs , HP’s Notebook Projection Companion offers up to 60-inches of LED-based projection at a range of up to 8.5 feet. It pumps light at 100 lumens and an 800:1 contrast ratio to put an SVGA 858 x 600 image up against the wall. The projector works with a standard VGA plug, and cuts a rather striking figure in its brushed aluminum shell. We spotted the “Companion” doing its thing in a relatively dimly lit room, and it certainly is a jump beyond a pico projector — it’s almost completely usable, in fact. We’d still probably prefer a large laptop screen for watching a movie, but if you’ve got to share a presentation or an experience, you could probably do worse than this $499 unit.

Thought you were done with seeing the latest Pine Trail netbooks? How about some more from HP? The world’s number one computer manufacturer has gone a bit netbook crazy with a slew of new models — the HP Mini 2101, 210 and the Compaq 201 — and that doesn’t even include the business and education focused HP Mini 5102 . The most exciting of the bunch are the HP Mini 210 and 2101 which share the same new design, rubbery feeling lid, and chicklet-style keyboard.

HP goes netbooks with Mini 2101, 210 and Compaq 201
Last year was a relatively quiet one for Clickfree after it showed its cards at CES 2009 , but it’s clear the company is looking to start 2010 off with a bang here in the desert. The recently updated C2 backup drive is seeing a significant overhaul at CES, with the C2N acting as a portable backup drive for any computer on your home network. The C2N drive is the company’s first to boast its BackupLink technology, which enables all of your networked machines (Macs and PCs) to be backed up automatically; of course, you’ll only be backing up between 250GB and 640GB of information, but we’re told that larger models are expected later in the year.

Shiny, quilt-look phones are an admittedly limited market — but considering that Samsung announces on average 17.2 quadzillion phones a week, it makes perfect sense that they’d devote a whole line to this kind of over-the-top foolishness. We spent a couple minutes with the S5150 flip and S7070 touch phones today — the first two members of the Diva series — marveling at just how truly frilly these trinkets are. The gilded S5150, in particular, dazzles the eyes with a concealed LED display (yes, LED, not LCD) and an amazing sheen that could probably be used as a defensive weapon to blind an attacker in a pinch. In terms of UI and functionality, you’re not going to find anything new here — but then again, that’s not really what a Diva’s about, is it? Follow the break for a quick, totally bedazzled look at the S5150′s flashy dress.

Cobra just announced a couple of world’s first touch screen radar detectors which include XRS 9970G and XRS 9965. Touch screen is not really a necessity on GPS radar detectors but it can simplify user setup and alert settings. It only measures 1.5 inches. Cobra XRS 9970G also features the AURA Camera Driving Hazard Database which stores GPS coordinates of speed and red light cameras and driving hazards. XRS 9970G comes with GPS and all you have to do is to plug in their USB GPS locator which you can sync online with the latest camera and dangerous intersection alerts

You’ve got to hand it to Vizio. 10 years ago, these guys were barely a blip on the radar screen, and now they’re one of the dominant players in the television business. Now they’ve got a new TV that’s gonna have you running to the store to return that new set you just got for Christmas.

UMID is the leading Korean company for MID devices and they happen to offer not only their own devices on different market but also for other so sells like for example another Korean Manufacturer Kohjinsha . Anyway Strong from their success with their little MID (powered by an Atom 1.2GHz, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of HDD and Runnig XP for just 366g), they decided to get a booth at CES and spread the joy… SO if you happen to be at CES… Just go and check their booth!

We’ve been hearing reports of the ARM Cortex-A9 holding its own with the ever-present 1.6GHz Atom processor for quite a while now, but ARM is now taking advantage of CES to do a bit more up-front boasting — like this recently-posted video demoing the processor’s browsing performance against an average netbook. While it’s obviously not entirely scientific, the Cortex-A9 does seem to lag only slightly behind — which is all the more impressive considering that the ARM is running at just 500MHz compared to the Atom’s 1.6GHz. Equally impressive: ARM’s fine taste in websites. Head on past the break for the video.

Microsoft’s push for the Tablet PC segment has earned them widespread ridicule and relatively minimal market penetration, something that’s only beginning to change with the advent of lower-priced multitouch notebooks and netbooks that use a basic touch-UI rather than in-depth handwriting recognition and the like. So we’re not quite sure what Microsoft may have on the cards for CES 2010 tomorrow, what with the New York Times reporting that Steve Ballmer will take to the stage for his company’s keynote clutching an HP-made slate. According to the NYT’s sources, the Microsoft slate – it’s unclear which branding it will carry – might arrive on shelves by mid-2010, and be focussed on multimedia and ebook content consumption with a multitouch interface.

T-Mobile existing customers attempting to buy a Nexus One today apparently do not qualify for the $180 cellular contract price that was revealed in this morning’s Google press announcement. This is even the case if you are currently out of a contract with T-Mobile and just want to renew your plan. Nexus One Pricing Plan – Nexus One without service: $529 -Nexus One with new, 2-year T-Mobile US service plan for new customers only: $179 -Nexus One with new, 2-year T-Mobile US service plan for qualifying existing T-Mobile customers who are adding data plans: $279 -Nexus One with new, 2-year T-Mobile US service plan for qualifying existing T-Mobile customers who are upgrading their data plans: $379 If you’re an existing T-mobile customer and want to grab the Nexus One special for $179, you’ll have to cancel and reapply all over again.

This is where we’ve come as a society. No longer are external speakers, pillows or even laptop cooling apparatuses enough to satisfy us. Instead it takes a conglomeration of all three to prop up our hapless “portable” computers as we wallow in our Snuggies and fat free comfort foods. The new Logitech Speaker Lapdesk is one such $80 conglomeration, with two-inch stereo speakers, a built-in fan and a nice bit of padding to keep the whole assembly from frying your lap. It all plugs in over USB, both for audio and for fan power, and there are hardware buttons for switching the fan on and off and changing volume

As you well know, Magnetic 3D is one of many companies that have been dabbling in 3D sans glasses — and lo and behold! Here we are in Las Vegas where the company is debuting three new auto-stereoscopic product lines including the Allura (commercial grade high-definition 3D LCD monitors up to 55-inches), Emersa (3D displays for close proximity viewing up to 42-inches), and Envolve 3D touch displays for commercial uses — you know, slot gaming, kiosks, and all sorts of red hot Vegas-y stuff. Will this be the year that 3D displays stop giving us headaches? Time will tell..

iBuyPower still isn’t offering many details about its new Battalion Touch CZ-10 gaming laptop, but it has produced that image above, which we’re pretty sure tells you everything you need to know. Namely, that it’s a touch screen gaming laptop (15-inch), and that it has more flames and fangs than your non-Battalion laptop. More details are promised to be coming at CES, but considering this is iBuyPower you can pretty safely bet that it’ll be plenty customizable, and it should be available sometime “in the coming months. iBuyPower teases Battalion Touch CZ-10 gaming laptop, punishes subtlety originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 05 Jan 2010 20:57:00 EST.

Living in Australia can be a frustrating experience. You’re always reading about the hottest new phone being released overseas, yet everytime you ask if you can buy it in Australia, you’re met with a standard “wait and see” response. But thanks to the Internet, you don’t really have to wait anymore – you can pick up phones online and have them shipped to you well before they even start getting tested in Australia. But there are a few important aspects you should consider before you spend a heap of cash on an international phone
