Geeky Drunk

It’s that time of year, and a great time to start our new Geeky Drunk website - CES 2008.

If it wasn’t such a geeky event, I might be able to talk my wife into letting us take a vacation to CES one year. But alas, I’d have to get her real drunk to agree to such a thing. Geeky Drunk anyone? That’s my kind of wife!

Here is the list we came up with regarding devices ALREADY announced for CES 2008:

• Intel’s MID devices, including the eo UMPC running on Intel’s Minlow platform from TabletKiosk.
• HP’s new TX2000 Tablet PC, which is reviewed here.
• Xias new picture frames and viewers
• Nokia for the possible upgrade to the Nokia N810 internet tablet, and to see if they have any cool new cell phones.
• Asus for the possible upgrade to the Asus Eee PC, which could include a larger screen (height wise) and built in WWAN via Sprint Wi-Max or other means.
• You would have to be drunker than Cootie Brown to visit the Dell booth to see their new Latitude XT Tablet PC, priced similar to the car loan you still need to pay off.

Lastly, we definitely ARE NOT interested in the HD DVD booth as Warner Brothers has decided to go with Blue-ray, so there is nothing to see there. Could HD DVD be the next Beta-Max, or will they both end up in that same turmoil state? The HD DVD players are about twice as cheap so there is still life there, but just like game consoles, content will win over price.

Mobile devices will win are interest over here, and hopefully we aren’t too drunk with geekness to cover them all!
