I might actually buy this thing.
Logitech’s Speaker Lapdesk N700 (USB powered) has a built-in fan to keep your crotch cool (unlike mine at the moment since I’m in the middle seat in coach on a Delta flight) and embedded speakers (two 2-inch speakers) to get your nether regions jumpin’. Oh, and it has a wide padded base!

Rarely, if ever, do I find memory cards exciting, but then again, not all memory card manufacturers are doing what Eye-Fi are currently doing. Makers of the first Wi-Fi SD cards have revealed the 8GB Pro X2 this morning. It’s $150, which is a heck of a lot for an SD card, but this one might actually be worth it.
It not only boasts …
Out of Lenovo’s entire crop of CES laptop offerings, the Skylight might be the neatest of the bunch. Wait. Did I just say that about a netbook? I did! The ARM-based 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon smartbook features a 10.1-inch display, full keyboard, up to 10 hours of battery life, weighs less than 2 lbs. and has built-in Wi-Fi and 3G. …

CES wouldn’t be CES if Samsung didn’t announce a gaggle of “world’s firsts” and the IceTouch looks to be the tip of the iceberg. See what I did there?
