The mammoth CES trade show took place this week, and though it
offered far too many new items to conceivably cram into a single column, we'll
look at some of the most notable and notorious. On our show floor this time are
Sony's latest Walkman, a smart grill, a speaker-beer cooler hybrid, a
fitness-tracking belt, and much more.
As ever, the ratings reflect only how interested I am in using
each -- these are not reviews.
Sony Walks Back the
Clock
Sony just won't let the Walkman glide off gracefully into the
sunset. The latest
incarnation, the ZX2(pictured above), is a
high-end music player that's said to offer crystal-clear audio. That's great!
I don't really need the highest-quality audio to enjoy some sludgy
metal or a folk singer bootleg recorded on an aging dictaphone, though.
I'm all for consumers enjoying music and movies as artists
intended them to be experienced, but I can't justify shelling out US$1,120 for
a fancy music player when my phone does the trick just fine.
