Digital Life ‘07: Wrap up!

We went through pushy brand ambassadors, covered less-than mediocre products, heck, someone even spilled coffee on us, but that didn’t stop the BGR team from bringing you all that Digital Life ‘07 had to offer! So conveniently located at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, we don’t think there’s a question that we’ll [...]

Namco loves Pac-Man

Namco, the arcade gaming powerhouse, has a massive presence here dedicated entirely to a single game: Pac-Man. Yeah, seriously. They are making a huge mobile Pac-Man push, demoing the game on a variety of low-end handsets from Sprint and T-Mobile. They’re also showing off the iPod version. The game is fine, but it’s an interesting [...]

Toshiba’s Massive Regza LCD TV

If there’s one thing we can’t get enough of around here, it’s iPhones / BlackBerrys / HTC Handsets gigantic LCD TVs. Thanks to Toshiba, we just got our fix for the day. They had a couple of their high-end Regza screens on display here at Digital Life, and the stunning TVs didn’t disappoint. Sporting full [...]

Dell brings the ugly with the XPS M2010 laptop

Have you ever seen something so hideously unattractive that it makes you want to lose your lunch? If not, take a gander at the Dell XPS M2010 "notebook" computer. This beast is, quite honestly, one the least attractive computers we’ve ever seen. To be fair, it’s got quite a feature set, sporting an Intel Core [...]

HP’s Blackbird 002

There are gaming PCs, and then there are Gaming PCs. HP isn’t terribly well known for their entries in the gaming market, but they seem poised to make some significant changes with the BlackBird 002, bringing a remarkably powerful gaming experience to the average consumer. Winner of the "Best of Show" designation here at Digital [...]

Microsoft’s media server lineup, D-Link, Linksys, Niveus all come to play

We took another trip to the Microsoft booth taking a peek at their lineup of media servers as we wandered through. They had several models on display, all clearly running as breakout boxes for networked PCs running Windows Media Center. They ranged from massive to minuscule, with the Niveus Media Center Extender taking the cake [...]

Polk Audio, long known for their superior home entertainment system components and speaker systems, appears to be making an aggressive move into the iPod accessory market. The Polk I-Sonic iPod dock is one of the slickest iPod docks we’ve seen to date. The I-Sonic sports full video out capabilities, allowing you to stream movies and [...]

HP Touchsmart PC

HP’s booth here at Digital Life is one of the most heavily staffed joints on the floor. It’s literally teeming with HP personnel, showing the latest and greatest from Hewlett-Packard’s catalog. They, like many of the exhibitors here, are focusing on home media and entertainment, but we got a chance to take a look at [...]

The Virtual Army Experience

 
One of the more interesting exhibits (depending on how you look at it, we guess) is hosted by the United States Army here at Digital Life. It’s actually called the Virtual Army Experience and it’s a full scale setup. It even has a tour bus, flashing lights, and the works. The basis for the Virtual [...]

HP Home Media Server

What is a home entertainment system these days without a networked media server? Thankfully, HP has a solution for the modern family. The company had its HP MediaSmart Server on full display here today, demonstrating the unit’s impressive capabilities. The system is designed for families / individuals with multiple computers running on a single network. [...]

Toshiba’s massive Qosmio G45 Laptop

 
Toshiba has one of the biggest setups here at Digital Life (The Guitar Hero main stage notwithstanding), and we’ve been generally impressed with what they have to offer. We got a chance to play around with one of their Qosmio G45 flagship laptops this morning, and came away with a favorable impression. First things first, [...]

Nick Cannon Wilds Out with a Sidekick LX

Just a tad better than Master P, don’t you say? If there was any question about it, T-Mobile has started to build a buzz around their upcoming Sidekick LX handset due to be released October 24th. I’d say that about the Sidekick Slide, but there hasn’t been much more than pictures released and let’s be [...]
