CES- I Heart the iLounge
One of the large pavilions here at CES is called the iLounge. And, as you can guess from the name, its al things Apple and Mac related. And, since I am one of the resident Macheads here at Notebooks.com, I thought I should go take a look and see what was there.
First note: This is the place where I have seen EVERY conceivable kind of iPhone/iPod case ever made. If you can think of it, its probably here somewhere.
There are also more accessories for iPhone and iPod than even I was aware existed. I wound up wandering the pavilion with Josh S and we were both astonished at what we saw. But, a lot of these devices could be used for more than just Mac related devices. The stands, cases, accessories I saw will work on Windows machines as well.
I was also doing my BagLady thing and looking at all the backpacks, laptop sleeves, gadget cases I could find. Its the whole girl and her bag thing. We always want to find the perfect one. I am walking away from CES with a few vendor samples myself. You’ll see the reviews up here and over at GottaBeMobile.com.
A quick hit list of interesting things I saw:
- A bamboo laptop cooling pad and lapdesk from Macally
- A handcranking recharger for iPhone from Yogen
- Gelaskins skins for all types of hardware, even my G1. They just got a deal from Marvel Comics and Nation Geographic to be able to use their images.
- A laptop case from Be.Ez that uses memory foam to decrease the impact to your laptop in transit
- The Blue Lounge Cool Feet that Josh posted about
- A TV hat, yes, hat. Josh has photos.
There is a lot more to mention, but that will have to wait until after I get the review units in.
But, I heart the iLounge. Part of me wishes that Apple could have been here, but they are prepping for their press event later this month.
