NBCU Show 1 Coverage from Bravo Stage

CES 2011, Special Events, , , ,

NBCU was nice enough to offer up their main stage for two events again this year, due to NBCU regular production time over runs we recorded our first NBCU event from the Bravo stage. What is funny is that we finished our 5 company interviews in 26 minutes, yet the program that caused us to not be able to use the main stage, recorded their 8 minute spot 5 times. What was different from take 1 to take 5 still has me still scratching my head, but the producer of that show obviously was not happy.

We had executives from Ford, iRobot, Red, Anti Sleep Pilot and Clickfree we could not not keep these executives waiting,and could not infringe on their time any longer holding them longer waiting for production at NBCU o wrap, so we had to shift to the poorly lit bravo stage. You will see in later videos from our NBCU day 2 coverage the deltas in what going from their main stage to the bravo dome. While I appreciate the support of NBCU and their allowing us to use their facilities we were disappointed that we could not give the companies we invited the appearance experience we had expected. Hopefully in future years we are given time slots that are a lot less conflicting with actual production of NBCU television shows.

Actiontec Wireless HDMI

CES 2011, Wireless, ,

Actiontec has introduced Wireless HDMI at CES 2011 which allows you to connect multiple monitors to a single transmitter. So you can transmit the HDMI signal from lets say an xBox or your cable TV set top box to a TV 150 feet away. The product will be available in the second quarter for around $200.00. The exciting thing about this is you can hook more than one TV up aka you have a single transmitter with multiple receivers, this is a great way to distribute the same content to multiple TV sets.

Viewsonic

Eventually, we will have our Over the Top TV solutions right into the TV. It was only a matter of time before a company like Boxee would start to do this. ViewSonic answered that call with the new DT.

Boxee will be integrated in the TV, plug in Ethernet and go. It also frees up your HDMI 1 port. The ViewSonic TV already has 4 HDMI1 ports, so you can connect up multiple devices.

The TV is expected to be out by June.

Bling Tag enables Payments with your Cell at CES 2011

Accessories, CES 2011,

The concept is simple, your sign up for an account over at BlingNation.com and get your bling tag you put on your cell phone. Then anytime you are at a merchant that takes Bling Payments you simply tap your Bling Tag on the payment interface and your account is automatically billed cool for consumers. What is even better is that merchants can set up reward programs to offer discounts to frequent customers.

Bling also integrates with Twitter and Facebook so your friends know what merchants you have visited and paid for products with your bling tag. Several companies have tried this in the past and what makes Bling different is that they tie in discounts and the social aspect. According to the company representative the number of vendors adopting the optional bling payment system is going well.

Spot Connects to your Smartphone CES 2011

CES 2011, Health, ,

Spot has been a leader in satellite rescue and communication devices. With a Spot device you can send a rescue signal via satellite, for several years now you have also been able to send short text messages as well through Spot devices. Now your smartphone can interact with a new Spot device essentially turning your smartphone into a Satellite Communicator.

This will allow people to send text messages to twitter of facebook in non emergency situations to send short updates on your adventures wherever you may be. I have said for a long time that if I was a world traveler that got of the beaten path that I would never leave home without a spot device. While the new integration to your smartphone is cool. The device will still work standalone when your in trouble or if your smartphone battery has died.
