Some of you may remember when I reported on Teac’s new iPod Docking Station that uses the NXT flat speaker system.

There are plenty of HDTV walls at CES , but the most beautiful, by far, is Panasonic’s staggered arrangement of TVs ranging from the monster 150-inch plasma to its offspring of lesser size. Gorgeous.

The monitor you see above was awfully close to becoming exactly like this , but thankfully, the wood gods spoke to Scuba_SM’s heart before he could round up another batch of Victorian-era tubing. The 22-inch wooden enclosure completely covers up the fact that an awkward looking LCD monitor is sitting on the table, and the solid maple top / base caps, light cherry stain and light coat of satin finish polyurethane make for something that’s actually enjoyable to gaze at.

We hit up Dell for a few more minutes with the sleek new Studio XPS 13 and 16 , and our positive early impressions just got better with time. We’re really digging the leather panel on the lid, and while the machines are total fingerprint magnets, when they’re cleaned up they’re pretty eye-catching — particularly the light-up circles on the hinges and the backlit keyboard and mouse buttons. Even the bottom is slick — it’s nicely detailed and the whole things lifts off (Dell calls it a “garage door”) for easy access to the RAM and hard drive. We nabbed a ton of shots, check it out in the gallery!

Up in the Siberia of the Las Vegas Convention Center there’s International Gateway, where obscure Asian electronics companies congregate to hawk their wares. It’s generally boring/terrible, but sometimes you stumble on wonderfully goofy gems. I scoured the entire area, and found what I consider to be the most amusing items there and placed them into a gallery below for your consumption.

2009 was supposed to be the year of OLED TVs. Sony dazzled us with actually watchable sizes and Samsung flat out said so . So, uh, what the hell happened to OLED at CES 2009? OLED TVs—a nigh miraculous display tech that blows away plasma and LCD when it comes to sheer OMGorgeousness—were supposed to hit their trade-show fantasy prime this year: Still too expensive for you and me, but flooding our greedy retinas with stunning images at every corner, just a few months away from hanging on Usher’s bathroom wall. It’s not just that there aren’t any of the big OLED TVs we’d been hearing about— nothing near 40 inches —we’re just not seeing them.
