PCWorld released their Best of CES 2009 slideshow, highlighting their view of the best ideas from the annual Consumer Electronics Show that recently wrapped up in Las Vegas. Most of the ideas are just fun and interesting, but a few caught my eye as being applicable to lawyers.
High-definition pocket camcorders like the Kodak Zi6 and Flip Ultra are all the rage for the average consumer, with excellent clarity, ease of use, and the low-cost--priced under $200! Lawyers should consider purchasing and using these for a range of activities including memorializing certain events, such as will signings, personal property inventories, or recording and uploading short informational videos for clients to access via your website.
The new Palm Pre smart phone, which I wrote about late last year, may soon be the latest phone/web tool to grace your mobile arsenal to keep connected when out of the office.
Pico-projectors--pocket-sized presentation projectors--continue to grab attention because of their bang-for-the-buck capabilities.
Yeah, I love tech gadgets. I gotta get to CES one of these years!
