The Optimus Maximus keyboard, created by Russian design studio Art Lebedev, has tiny 48 x 48 pixel, 65,536 color OLED displays on the top of the individual motionless keys. The Sony PX-LX300USB turntable sports a USB cable. Plug it into your PC, and you can digitize those albums and convert them into MP3s you can listen to on your iPod. The Casio EX-F1 digital camera takes 60 frames in a second. You can quickly scroll through those 60 frames, pick the perfect one and capture it for saving to the camera's storage. The robotic, nearly silent Automower is built from 90% recyclable material, runs on electricity from the sun and puts out zero emissions. (If the sun ain't shinin' you can plug it in to charge it.) The Gamers Cockpit GTS simulator is a racing chair, steering wheel console, sound system and display all in one. The GTS at the 2008 auto show The 30-inch Dell 3008WFP's 2560 x 1600 resolution and 3000:1 contrast ratio means digital photographs will come alive and HDTV will look ultra realistic. The Robonova-1 is a robot kit that requires construction and programming. Once built and programmed, it can defeat the neighbor's dog in a battle for dominance over the yard. The Garmin Edge 605 GPS device for bicyclists won't let you be cheated by red lights -- an Auto Pause feature stops the timer when you have to slow down or stop, so it won't count against your time. The MacBook Air is so slim it fits in a manila envelope. With no FireWire port, Ethernet port, or optical disc drive, the Air may initially seem a crippled computing choice. But when you're in a plane, train, or automobile, you'll hardly miss what you'd never use anyway. Celebrate the victory of Blu-ray DVD and be ready to play this years big blockbuster game releases on the Sony PlayStation3.
