Fond Memories From CES

Thursday, January 31, 2008

Thanks for the interview, Ian - very funny show this week. 36:29 - 40:20 - Media Center Dinner…. at this point, I really do have to say it wasn’t a complete beerfest. But whenever I bumped into Ian (and his microphone) we both appeared to have beers in our hand. Great fun. Ian, Andrew and I [...]

CES 2008: Day 3 and Wrap Up

Thursday, January 10, 2008

0 Comments

It’s interesting to see how a lot of people attend CES from Sunday through Tuesday, and leave on Wednesday - the show floors were certainly a lot calmer today, which was a welcome relief after the carnage of previous days. A couple of highlights from Wednesday: Medion MD90110 Home Server Microsoft were showing off a range a home [...]

CES 2008: Day 2…

Wednesday, January 9, 2008

Tuesday was Day 2 and CES, and I still feel like I’ve only just scratched the surface of this show - all the articles you read about the size and scale of CES - it’s true, but then double the size and scale you actually think it is. Then add aching feet and 150000 people in [...]

You may be thinking that whilst the guys from the Windows Home Server team are out here at CES working the crowds, no-one’s back in Redmond nailing that data corruption bug. From discussions I had with the team yesterday, they have nothing official to share right now in terms of timings on a fix, but [...]

At CES next week, HP will be making a number of announcements regarding their MediaSmart suite of products, which includes the HP MediaSmart Server. We Got Served was sent early details of those announcements today (you’ll see that CNET and Engadget have covered this too today). In Spring 2008 (Engadget reckon February, but that’s not confirmed) a free [...]

Streaming21 and WNC Debut WiFi Media Frame Connected to Microsoft Windows Home Server at CES

Tuesday, January 1, 2008

Looks like the partnership between Streaming 21 and WNC continues to prosper, with the companies showcasing a Digital Photo Frame which connects to Windows Home Server at CES next week. I have a vested interest here, having recently purchased a Samsung Photo Frame which only connects to PCs running WMP11 (i.e. not WHS). Let’s hope this [...]
