LOGITECH
Logitech had a large booth covering their vast product line.
In separate rooms you had the sound systems pounding away and remote controls on display and out in their open display area you had the usual mice and keyboard components. Logitech's keyboards and mice are getting simple and more stylish. These will definitely be a hot review item and should sell well. The fit and finish is extremely high.
One product coming out soon is the Logitech Harmony 1000 touchscreen home theater control panel remote control. This geek filled pleasure pad comes loaded with every control capability that you can get in one US$500 investment. Expensive yes, and an essential addition to your HD home theater system.
There was a lot to cover at their booth but as with all the rest of the companies, we had to keep moving and keep the coverage light and to the point.
SANDISK
I have to say one thing, I personally thought that solid state memory product manufacturers were going to be boring to visit, but that opinion turned out to be completely wrong. For one, they are not only about memory cards for your digital cameras and cellphones and such, but they are also creating some interesting Wi-Fi MP3 players to spice up their lineup. They had one product that was a finalist for the best of CES from CNET.
The Sansa line of Wi-Fi capable MP3 players is an absolutely gorgeous player capable of the usual photo views, MP3 music, along with WiFi internet radio. Just connect to any available WiFi network and an ordinary MP3 player becomes a whole different monster. This is a great product that we will hopefully be getting our hands on in the near future. Sandisk, are you watching?
