| Brooklyn-Based EXOVAULT Will Clad Your iPhone In Metal & Wood Posted: 07 Jan 2011 11:18 PM PST Yes. Another iPhone case. But these aren’t your typical American-designed, Chinese-made mass-produced cases. These are designed and made in Brooklyn, NY by people who are clearly committed to their craft. They’re a bit pricey with prices running between $70 and $195, but they’re unlike anything else and seemed to be built to last. EXOVAULT

| Greg Talks To T-Pain About The New I Am T-Pain Microphone Posted: 07 Jan 2011 04:17 PM PST
The best thing? Greg sang like T-Pain in front of T-Pain because Greg wants to be T-Pain. (Working on getting a better quality version of the video. Hold tight.)

| CrunchGear Drives GM’s Autonomous EN-V Concept Vehicle Posted: 07 Jan 2011 04:13 PM PST  We're here at CES in Las Vegas live streaming the show floor; getting our hands on all the super-modern and futuristic cool stuff. Today, GM asked us to come by and check out what they think the future will be like for some people. This future has many types of vehicles that fit entirely different lifestyles. That future is of course more than 10 years away, but we'll get there with working concepts like the GM EN-V. And they gave us the keys.

| Is This The Nintendo 3DS’s UK (And US’s) Release Date? Posted: 07 Jan 2011 03:26 PM PST Japan is getting the 3DS on February 26. That’s a fact per Nintendo themselves. But so far the rest of the world is left wondering when they’ll be able to buy it although most are speculating that early March is likely. That thought seems to be confirmed with a Gamestation shop window display that clearly indicates that the 3D gaming system will be released on March 1st. Of course this is from the UK where they drive on the wrong side of the road and transpose dates, but there’s nothing stopping this from not being true. Retailers make up signage — that’s what it’s called in retail-speak — months in advance and this is generally followed by a few more months of marketing strategy so it’s very likely that select launch partners already know when the 3DS’s release date even though Nintendo hasn’t publicly revealed it to us. March 1st? Sure, why not.

| Best In Show: The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Minis Posted: 07 Jan 2011 03:01 PM PST  It's not every electronics show that big news comes out..in fact most of it is unrelated to the field. However, this year we were bown away by news from Hershey's, those same people that do Hershey's bars. After extensive research, Hershey's found that less people are able to fit their Peanut Butter cups in their mouths. The only logical solution was...

| Viewsonic Puts Boxee Inside Its New HDTV Posted: 07 Jan 2011 02:47 PM PST  Thinking about buying both a new TV and a Boxee Box? Well, I can save you some trouble. Viewsonic has included Boxee as an included app on its new line of connected HDTVs. It's nothing crazy — you can just run Boxee on the thing, without the box. No price, but it should be arriving in Q2.

| Posted: 07 Jan 2011 02:42 PM PST Showstoppers, like Unveiled and Digital Experience, is a peripheral show to CES but it offers close hands-ons with lots of great gear. Here is the huge mass of videos we’ve collected and we’ll pop out items that made us smile.

| Hands-On Video: Surface V2 At CES Posted: 07 Jan 2011 02:31 PM PST  We saw the Surface V2 (as they're calling it) soft-launched at the press day before CES, then demonstrated briefly by Ballmer in his keynote, and at last given official status with pictures and all the next morning. And then we got the the chance to try it out in person at the Microsoft booth. We've got video, some hands-on pictures, and our first impressions of the device. Video inside...

| Video: Hands-On With The RED Scarlet Posted: 07 Jan 2011 12:52 PM PST
I don’t want to repeat what’s already out there regarding the resolution, accessories, dates, and so on, which are all googleable (and some not final), so I’ll stick to general impressions and you can watch the video as soon as it’s live for specifics. In the meantime, here are a couple new pics to tide you over.

| Windoro: The Magnetic Window-Washing Robot Posted: 07 Jan 2011 12:36 PM PST  During our foray into the "robots" section of the south hall here at CES, we found this little guy. I heard about this guy a few months back somewhere, but it was something else seeing it in action. I mean, it's not like it was going crazy or anything, but look at it! The two halves (I prefer to think of them as twins)....keep reading on

| What Is This Verizon Event And Why Was I Invited? Could It Be? Dare I Say… iPhone? Posted: 07 Jan 2011 12:33 PM PST  Hmmm. Earlier today, BGR published a story that Apple is looking to launch the iPhone on Verizon's network as soon as February 3. That's in line with an earlier report about no-vacation windows for Apple retail employees. And now something curious has just appeared in my inbox. An invite to a Verizon event, taking place in New York City on this coming Tuesday, January 11. Could it be?

| Zenith Christophe Colomb Watch Hands-On Posted: 07 Jan 2011 11:35 AM PST  I am here to answer the very important question of "can you even wear this watch?" I first wrote about the Zenith Christophe Colomb watch here. This question has salience because the movement in the Christophe Colomb watch requires that there be a large spheroid in the watch that makes it looks as though it has a tumor. This non-malignant growth is actually the "zero-gravity tourbillon." An escapement on gimbals that moves around such that the escapement more or less is always placed the same position. Does this improve performance at all? Highly doubtful. Consider it a visual toy. And to watch, the complication is cool, but not necessarily evocative of a "wow factor."

| Apple Says Over 1M Apps Downloaded From Mac App Store In 24 Hours Posted: 07 Jan 2011 10:57 AM PST  Apple this morning announced that over one million apps have been downloaded from the Mac App Store, which was launched just yesterday (with over 1,000 apps). Our own MG Siegler thinks the Mac App Store will be huge indeed, even if many of the apps available through the desire leave much to be desired. For (a lot) more coverage, check this Techmeme thread.

| Fly Or Die: Does Flipboard Have A Chance? Posted: 07 Jan 2011 10:49 AM PST  It's time for this week's episode of Fly or Die, the TCTV show where CrunchGear editor John Biggs and I look at three new products and debate their longterm chances of survival. In today's show, we discuss Windows Phone 7, the just-announced Casio Tryx digital camera, and the popular Flipboard iPad app. At the end of the show, a special surprise guest appears from one of the companies involved to respond immediately to our criticisms of his product. That's the best part of the show, so be sure to watch until the end to catch it.

| Hours After Launch, Lackluster Apps Inspire A “Worst Of” The Mac App Store Posted: 07 Jan 2011 10:48 AM PST  If you're as chained to Apple products as we are, you probably spent a couple hours this morning exploring the nascent Mac App Store or as I like to call it, the Productivity Toilet. And you are not alone, hours after launch some industrious (and foul mouthed) UI enthusiast has created "Read the fucking HIG," a Tumblr compilation of terribly designed Mac Apps. While we found it on Twitter of course, we hear this has been making the rounds at Apple all afternoon, "I can't stop laughing. Every post is quotable" one employee told us. True.

| Daily CES WTF: A Small Dancing Sprite Posted: 07 Jan 2011 10:33 AM PST What is going on here? We don’t know. I don’t know why they made this poor man dress up like this nor do we know what he’s trying to sell. As a marketing exercise, I suspect they’ve failed. Or they haven’t, considering that you watched the video. Check our more CES WTF here.

| Our Hands-On With The Notion Ink Adam Tablet Posted: 07 Jan 2011 09:06 AM PST Here is a higher-res version of some of our talk with Rohan yesterday. Enjoy.

I just wrapped up a short interview with Ted Schilowitz from RED, in which he told us (and all our live stream viewers) all about the new RED Scarlet digital cinema camera. I got to hold the thing and revel in its 3K glory; and while RED devices are notoriously never “final,” this felt about as final as it gets.
