Finding The Right Stuff

The oft-exchanged phrase among tech journalists at last week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, "more of the same," was a fair assessment of the gadgets on display. But we did dig up some products worth highlighting. The Neonode N2 mobile phone features an infrared-based touchscreen, making it more rugged than an iPhone or Palm. Seagate's D.A.V.E., a Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi-enabled pocket-size hard drive , allows users to access audio or video files from such diverse devices as iPhones, laptops and car stereos. But our favorite was Jook, a hardware add-on for MP3 players that permits you to broadcast music wirelessly to other Jookenabled devices within 30 feet, or tag songs broadcast by other users for purchase the next time you sync your player with your PC. It's nice to share.
