Straight from the Motorola press party, we’ve got video of the ROKR E8. Check out the phone-to-music player’s ModeShift keypad morphing action. Could this be the music phone they get right?
Pioneer execs shuffle us into a dark room, reveal the most critically acclaimed TV made, and then unveil a TV that can kick its ass on contrast. Yes, Pioneer’s current Kuro—the “best flat-panel ever”—was shedding light like a sumbitch next to Pioneer’s concept Kuro, whose black literally emits no light. So here it is, a strange Battlemodo pitting the super-hot 8th-gen Pioneer plasma against its own future self.
We just got an exclusive look at the super-thin 9mm Kuro plasma concept from Pioneer, and frankly it’s hard to believe that it’s real at all. It’s holy-smokes thin—yes, even thinner than an iPhone. Even at the center where it balloons out to a whopping 18mm or so, it’s still, you know, Kate Moss. How soon until you get one of these in your house? Not soon enough, amigo. So for now, it’s just you and these sweet sweet pics. Go ahead and drool. We’ll leave the room. [Pioneer CES 2008]

As much camera as phone.
Moving on to the Rokr E8.
You made us do it fanboys. See one more pic after the jump.

Lit by LEDs, this 2880×900 monster is well over three feet wide and is said to have an other-worldly .02ms response time, great for gaming. The Soylent Green: You can see the seams between this monitor’s four segments, but the Alienware humanoids tell us that flaw will be gone by the time this craft lands on Earth. The blacks look a bit washed out to our eyes, too. Price is yet to be determined.
The Pitch: The Sling Modem, which is a Slingbox and a Cable Modem combined into one—NOT TWO!!!—gadget. It’ll be available directly from cable providers, but no partnerships have been announced yet. The Catch: You’re limited to only one type of Slingbox with this Modem, so you’re SOL if you want to get this or that type of box.
