Small is all well and good, but sometimes tiny flash drives are a nuisance. Where do you keep them handy? Wallet Flash is showing off their custom made credit card sized flash drives. Get them branded however you like, then keep them in a card spot in your wallet.
2GB was the biggest I saw there on the stand, which as far as general business needs go is probably ample space. Apparently the USB plug is double sided too, so the fact the card is pretty wide should never be an issue as you can flip it to get the best fit.
They’ve even got some options with MP3 player built-in, so you can rock out with your phones plugged into your wallet, a kind of pointer for potential thieves. They’ll probably be disappointed to find its a wallet, and not your iPod. -Seamus Byrne

Internode’s booth is pretty boring — c’mon, it’s a network booth after all! But they did have this very cool poster showing the details of their Australian network, all its nodes, peers and exchange points, as well as how fat the major pipes are between cities. It’s utterly geeky, but yeah, I’d probably be happy looking at something like this on my wall.
I kid! I’ve already got one of those maps of the Internet. That’s much cooler.
Fess up! Any Internode lovers out there keen to get one of these posters?

No, this will NEVER fit in your living room. And yes, I’m talking to you, Gates. But it’s alright, you can always build on extension.
103 inches of plasma goodness. At this size, 1080p is not so much a must, as a bit on the thin side. It looks spectacular. Crispy, clean, no muddy areas. But with screen real estate the size of my living room floor space, I wonder when they’ll be delivering this in 4K — then Red One owners will have something to show their home movies on!
I’ll have more of a look at the Panasonic booth tomorrow. -Seamus Byrne
Jabra has some sexy headsets on show here, crafted by designer Jacob Jensen.
They are special editions of the JX10 model Bluetooth headset, deubbed the JX10 Cara. One in brushed steel finish, which looks the goods. But the other… oh, just your everyday 24-ct gold plate. As tacky as these things can look sometimes, this actually looks very, very good.
Definitely the headset I’d be wearing if I was taking calls while waling the red carpet.
More images after the jump.
We’re struggling here with the terrible up-down up-down Wi-Fi connection. Specifically set up to let bloggers blog from the event, it has so far been completely useless, particularly in letting us upload images.
If you have a BloggerZone in a tech show, and you can’t blog, is it really here? Hmmm… CeBIT and their zen question for the day.
Tomorrow we will be back here again, and we’ll be bringing our own wireless connectivity. We’re chalking this up to experience—never rely on others to give you the connectivity you need.
Sorry, folks. Will keep trying to get some posts up before the day is out. -Seamus Byrne
If you’re at all interested in the PlayStation Eye, the EyeToy for the PS3 generation, take a gander at this interview with its father, Richard Marks. Along with releasing four—yes, four—albums since 2000, Richard’s added many new features to PlayStation’s camera.
Among the issues seen as most important were light sensitivity, achieved by using a sensor with more area per pixel, instead of more megapixel count. The 60 fps minimum requirement, for better tracking resolution, and the four-array microphone. Definitely a cool read if you’re planning on using the Eye to record your own Singstar videos and show them off online. – Jason Chen
Yes, I still play with action figures. I spent a bit of time today playing with the Optimus Prime toy that I got today to give you this video review of how easy it is to unfurl into robot-ness, and who would win in a fight: New Optimus Prime vs. Old Optimus Prime vs. R2D2 vs. iPod vs. Moto Q. The results may scare you.
Well, maybe not scare you, but you’ll have a new found respect for Autobots and the ease of Ikea DIY. – Brian Lam
If you just can’t seem to get enough Lego, now you can pack your lunch in one, available in your choice of pink, brown or blue. Unfortunately, that Lego cheeseburger isn’t included in the box, and there’s no word whether the lunchboxes interlock with each other.
Get yourself some Lego furniture to go along with this lunch carrier, and then all you need to do is build a Lego house and drive a Lego car, and the entire Lego illusion will be complete. – Charlie White

After a lap of Darling Harbour looking for alt parking because the convention centre was full, and some general network shenanigans, we’re here and online.
This CeBIT is really huge — the biggest I’ve seen here in Sydney. And better laid out than ever before. Kudos, CeBITters! Now whether there is much of genuine interest on the floor is another story…
We seem to be having some image upload troubles, which is a real shitter. Will start talking about stuff we see and then fill in some pics later… when we get back to Giz HQ in need be. -Seamus Byrne
We’ve heard a lot of complaining about the paucity of editing tools for the nascent AVCHD video format, and now Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus comes along with that capability and a lot more. With AVCHD originator Panasonic’s latest solid-state camcorders using the format, and Sony rocking more cameras using it just the other day, the ability to edit that footage is long overdue.
Hey, that format’s fo’ reals, and is here to stay, right? Yep. Well, what else can Ulead VideoStudio 11 do?
