This HDMI cable from Sanus joins the pivot-head crowd. I’ve had a little bit of difficulty at times when wall mounting a TV and getting the HDMI cable plugged into the back. It think this pivoting connector could make life a little easier.
These pivoting HDMI cables will set you back $30 to $50 depending on the length, so it looks like it works out to be a little cheaper than iConnects’ offerings.

The Sound Egg is a unique chair packed with a 5.1 surround sound audio system – that includes the 10-inch sub. Acousticom had previously used this chair to show off other products, treating it solely as a display tool. However, when they started getting requests to purchase the chair, Acousticom decided to make the chairs available for sale.
Price of admission? $1450.
The Sound Egg will be on display at CES 2010 for it’s official launch. I’ll do my best to get some time in one and report back.

Unvieling at CES 2010 in Las Vegas are 2 new GPS units the T70 (7 inch screen) and the T50 (5 inch screen) which are basic GPS units, but can be purchased with a range of options, including HD Radio, Live HD Traffic update, Bluetooth, WiFi, mobile TV, and black box.
BX1 – a Black Box for the car is Cydle’s solution to a eye-witness. The new Cydle BX1 continually updates every 30 seconds to keep a running video of events while driving. When the the BX1 takes a jolt it retains data from 15 seconds before an impact to 15 seconds after. The footage is saved to an SD Card, so you or law enforcement can take a look on a PC. The Cydle BX1 will be available in the United States in the first quarter of 2010 around $150.
Also, slated for release the first quarter of next year is Cydle’s new M7 Mobile Internet Device (MID.) The M7 functions as an Internet search appliance, a digital photo frame and multimedia player and incorporates HDMI support. Eight GB of memory comes standard, expandable to 16GB. The M7 is expected to come in around $200.
Cydle released a new GPS with built-in HD Radio and free live HD live trafic updates earlier this year. The T43H is the worlds first portable GPS with HD Radio built in. At the current price of $250 US dollars, that is not a bad deal considering you not only get the above mentioned, but also a rich media video player, audio player and picture viewer all displayed on a 4.3 inch screen. Of course the are no subscription fees of any kind.

Included in the kit:
- Preloaded Maps: US, Canada, Puerto Rico & Hawaii
