We’ve seen IR solutions for the iPhone before, but this is the first we’ve seen for BlackBerry – and the first that also works as a garage door opener. More »
While universal remotes can be hard to program, each being a bit of their own beast, theRCA Voice Control Remote will talk you through the process. And you can talk right back.
While RCA debuted their Small Wonder camcorders at CES 2008, the model they are showing off just a year later looks vastly improved.
Audiovox will be releasing custom PS2 consoles for cars. Apparently Sony has handed over PS2 hardware to Audiovox (surely through some sort of co-beneficial licensing agreement), who has then re-cased the hardware and added their own tweaks like wireless outputs (allowing the whole car to share one system). Available in 6 months for a $US200 premium over existing in-car entertainment systems, there will be a front overheard pop-out version of the system (left) as well as backseat units (right). It’s sort of like the soccer mum version of pimping one’s ride.
The new FPS10 subwoofer from Audiovox / Acoustic Research features a flat design that stands in stark opposition to the big and bulky subwoofers we are used to. At 31.5″w x 4.5″h x 15.2″d, the FPS10 is lean enough to be hidden under a couch or behind an entertainment cabinet. It also features 225WRMS, a 900W dynamic peak 10″ with a 12-inch passive radiator, and a two-way state-aware RF remote control. The only question is, how would a flat subwoofer like this sound?

Audiovox’s Digital Picture Frame/Message Board that we showed you recently has just been made official. In fact, it announced two different versions of it. One allows you to record video messages, the other just audio messages. The video version, the DPF711K, will sell for $US200 which the DPF710k audio-only version will run $US160. Hit the jump for the full press release and details.
The Pitch: Get a backup camera in your car without buying a new car with the feature built-in. Avoid backing over children and dogs by seeing a whole lot more than your mirrors show. It’s waterproof and won’t block your license plate. The Catch:While they say it stays hidden behind the license plate, sticking a $350 gadget on the outside of your car is just asking for it to get stolen. Hit the jump for the full release.
This fridge magnet has a screen that displays a calendar, a whiteboard, and a camera for video messages to family members.
Audiovox isn’t so much an innovator as a “value” company, making (or at least branding) products that are fairly cheap in price but hopefully hold together. You probably know Jensen is an Audiovox brand; you may not know that Acoustic Research (along with certain RCA products) were added to the Audiovox lineup not long ago. Today in NYC, Audiovox showed some of the hotter things from its current lineup—Jensen Rock-N-Road XM-capable GPS, the Audiovox wireless surround-sound home theater debuted at CES, and Jensen Code Alarm remote-start keychain with full motion video (in gallery)—plus some fun new stuff… More »
