iRiver IAMOLED Photo Tank Is Not Quite Legend But Holds a Lot of Pics [Portable Media]

Source: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/212388635/iriver-iamoled-photo-tank-is-not-quite-legend-but-holds-a-lot-of-pics

The Gear: iRiver's IAMOLED Photo Tank is another PMP, but it's HD-based (80 or 160GB) to SPINN's flash, and its 4.1-inch AMOLED display uses even less power than passive matrix OLED displays for longer batt. life. It's photo-oriented, with CF and SD slots, though it also does video voice recording, FM and uses the by-this-post-much-hyped SPINN controls.
The Bleh: No price, and the SPINN (PMP, not the controls) is definitely a sexier beast.

The Goods: The iRiver Wing is a cute little UMPC with a touchscreen and 4GB of flash storage. It's got Wi-Fi, obviously, and supposedly is instant-on. No word on the battery life. The Bads: It runs Windows CE Pro for the OS, and the keyboard looks like it could be difficult to pound on.

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.

Pioneer 9mm-Thin Concept Plasma Ogled From All Angles [Ces 2008]

Source: http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/gizmodo/full/~3/212407512/pioneer-9mm+thin-concept-plasma-ogled-from-all-angles

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]
