In addition to their new TVs and AV systems, Philips had a ton of small new gadgets and appliances at IFA 2008 today: new Streamium 160GB micro Hi-Fi systems, the CinemaOne all-in-one home theatre unit, the new version of the Wake-Up Light alarm clock, a cool home messaging system bar, a beer draft machine, a barrage of grooming things, food processors, and the new Senseo Latte Select, which does perfect latte macchiatos in seconds. I'll get an espresso instead, because I was getting quite sleepy right there.
Honestly, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of stuff these kind of general consumer-oriented companies make. [More IFA 2008 Coverage]

You know I've never really understood it. Won't making accessories for the iPod defeat the purpose of competing with it?

Guys, if you're gonna make us click through two dozen images, could you please put some kind of description on them? Like, what the hell is a "UPHI356" or a "Moon Chrome"?
O.K., some are self-explanatory, but give us a break on the mystery devices.

Philips works on model numbers so if you go www.philips.com and type the numbers in they should bring up the details on the product.

@Crescent: Hey dude, it's better than rocking out with a body 'fro. Shave on!
I like that coffee thing. We have the regular Senseo and it works great. Although I would suggest getting the refillable pods from Amazon, it will save you a lot of money.

Tried it. Philips.com doesn't know what a UPHI356 is either.

The wake up light and de ambi light are already for sale in the Netherlands. The wake up light is really nice, if you you are getting up around 6 o'clock in the morning. the ambi light(the black bowl) is nice very but a bit expansive for a smooth colour changing light :D its around € 139,- the wake up light is less expansive its around €75,-
