No, you’re not seeing things! That’s Peter Ha (and Pop 17’s Sarah Austin) on G4’s Attack of the Show trying very hard to look excited about the Palm Pre. He does a bang-up job!

Hungry for some Slacker streaming radio on your iPhone? The BlackBerry app just became available earlier today, and it looks like they’re already prepped to go live on Apple’s finest. We ran into a Slacker rep tonight at the ShowStoppers CES event, said some magic words, and were presented with Slacker for iPhone in all of its glory - and we’ve got the screenshots to prove it.

Anybots new robot, the QA can be controlled remotely over Wi-Fi and 3G. So you can use the robot as an interface to communicate with people. This way you don’t need to go near them. Not any more.

Watch as Doug destroys every other blog and magazine participating in the Comp USA/Tiger Charity PC Race. He’s in slot #3 and will be competing against 29 other losers. The live feed will begin shortly so please be patient.

The gear these Austrian ladies are selling is pretty cool. It’s a bunch of straps and bags for all your gadgets that wrap around your body like a bandolier. But what are they called? I’m glad you asked.

Who’s putting us on live TV?

We heard about Psyko a week or so ago, and they won accolades for innovation, producing a pair of surround-sound headphones that’s using a totally different kind of technology. Essentially the sound is produced in five separate drivers above your head, then guided down pipes to your ears.

They’re untraditional in every way, and I just wish I could have tried them out in a quiet room instead of the infernal racket that is the CES show floor. Impressions inside.

The ZvBox is a promising little CE device that streams HD content over widely available coax cable. Unfortunately, the first version did work so well but Vic Odryna, CEO and overall nice guy, promises brighter roads ahead thanks to an update and the new commercial unit.

Ahoy, space ninjas! We present to you the iTouchless Trashcan SX, a space saving version of my favorite robotic trash can in the world. This model has a lid that folds in on itself instead of flipping up, ensuring you don’t get your hand smacked by the trash can lid.

Seeing as everyone in the blogging world is scrambling to get up a Hands-on article on the Palm Pre, I’ll go ahead and say this now: if anyone claims to have gotten a true hands-on, they’re probably lying. We just got back from a post-announcement, closed doors Palm event where a handful of Pres were being demonstrated. While we could touch the phones, we couldn’t actually hold the phone, making it kinda tough to get a real sense of the phone’s weight and feel. Regardless, I still want one. Boy oh boy, do I want one. Read on for experiences. (Video is on the editing rack, by the way - we’ll have it up ASAP.)

I totally wanted to hug this little hug machine! Also, it has a hole in its mouth to allow for the insertion of a charger but, and this is only for those so inclined, I could imagine some other potentially illegal uses for said hole. Just saying.

Video after the jump.

Here we have yet another digital photo frame. It seems like it is raining photo frames at CES. You can find one on almost every corner. This time we’ve got one with iPhone and WinMo syncing. It’s called the Kaleido R7 from IPEVO and it does have a few things going for it.

Man, I saw these back at PAX but for some reason never brought them up. Which is too bad, because they’re pretty cool. I love the little in-line remote that lets you control the volume for individual surround channels. They sounded good back at PAX, but as I note in the video, there were a ton of dudes around when I was there so I didn’t try them on again.

They’re gonna have a ton of different styles for these things, which usually I don’t care too much for, but these different colors and patterns were pretty awesome. I took pictures of a bunch but I don’t know just how many there will be total.

Did I call it or what? This is, at the moment, the first and only mobile phone with TI’s DLP pico projector technology. It will ship later this month in Korea but we’ll have to wait until later this year to see if Samsung decides to ship it Stateside. As you’ll see in the video the device is capable of projecting all sorts of content at a decent resolution. Rather than blabbing on about it, I’ll let you folks check out the video.
