Here it is in all its’ glory, folks. The only legitimate iPhone knock off. We weren’t able to see if multi-touch actually worked, but it’s a direct clone of the iPhone UI.

Need an iPhone-like interface, a squirrel wheel, and keypad? Can’t wait for the iPhone 3: Steve’s Revenge? Pick up the BW7000. This is a GSM phone with full keypad which with never — and I reiterate this — never reach our shores. Are we sad? Probably not.

Actually, this is the Austrian OLPC group’s booth. Nothing to see here but it’s cool that the Germanics are taking an interest in this project.

Swedish-based Tobii had their unique eye tracking system on display at CeBIT and I have to say that it’s probably one of the coolest things we’ve seen so far. Per Nystedt was nice enough to take us through a relatively thorough walkthrough of what the system is capable of. The sensors you see blinking like crazy are only being picked up by our Samsung HMX10C, but rest assured you won’t see them if you ever get the chance to interact with a Tobii system. After all, you may have an epileptic seizure if that were the case. The usefulness of such a machine helps those with disabilities who may otherwise not be able to communicate. Watch the video and be amazed. You’ll see just how perverse John Biggs really is around the 2:00 mark.

A closer look at the University of Bremen’s Brain-Computer Interface which uses pulsating lights to read activity in your brain and react accordingly. Sadly, the arm wasn’t working but the description by Brendan Allison Ph.D. is great.

I think my Hot Pockets are ready

Most of us here are MacTards but I still have a soft spot in my heart for the many cool cases I’ll never be able to use with my beloved OS X. These cases run the gamut ultra-small to bigger than Peter Ha. Our special favorites show up near the end of the slide show and include the Top Gun and the monstrous, dial-covered I-Curve9 from Aerocool.

Another day, another breathy video from your loving correspondents. Yesterday we saw our name get butchered, baby phones, and lots of ASUS stuff. We also looked at the Dreamcom 10 laptop and made toast.

Remember: Help us help poor Peter enter LOLCAT infamy with our CeBIT contest. Feel free to grab our CeBIT RSS feed and stay tuned for some more red hot tech from the funnest city this side of Bielefeld.

For just 50 cents a day — the price of a cup of coffee — you can help this poor man look less like Mr. Bean. Won’t you please help?

While most of the CrouchGear staff can barely lift a pair of skis over their heads, some people actually get onto skis and ski around on flat surfaces for exercise and sport. This is called “cross-country skiing.” Whereas my favorite part of skiing is the mulled wine and languid bowel movements back at the chalet, these people have trainers who push them to be better and faster.

Enter this little project from TU Clausthal, a technical university, wired up two GPS-enabled accelerometers that transmit data back to a trainer’s terminal. The trainer can then watch the skier when he or she leaves the immediate area and give them advice and encouragement. It’s a prototype right now but as you can see trainers can sense which sticks are being used, speed, position, heart rate, and even oxygen usage. They attached it to me and it showed them I was dead.

Here’s another cool tidbit we found in the design hall. This is a paper construction set you can use to create little figures with stars of paper. Although the shapes are fairly basic, the little buggers are pretty cute and very cleverly designed. Think of it as Legos made of paper.

Every year at CeBIT they have a special hall dedicated to cool design. This year we found a lot of great medical gadgets including this odd finger prosthesis made of wire and plastic. You’ll also find a hands-free faucet and two baby scales made of balloons. Most of this stuff won’t really effect our daily lives but it’s cool to know babies get little bubblewrap things to lie on when they’re born.

I’m trying to find a website for these guys but these were fairly cool phones for kids and older folks who might need a little help finding the buttons. The phones are all GSM compatable and as you see there are three styles: Baby, Easy, and some sort of DECT cordless phone with images instead of a number pad. Pricing and availability are, as usual, unannounced.

Meeeh

Look, I’m down with mini laptops. I really am. Give me a X300 over a monster IT-department-hand-me-down Dell any day. But I’m kind of tired of the eee. Sure it’s small, light, and fast, but wasn’t Sony doing this back in 1999? Even the Air is getting a bit too much press for what it is. Anyway, here’s the “9-inch,” which is really the 8.9-inch.

This wee PC has WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 built-in and is about four inches thick and 12 inches high. It’s outputting HD video here so it looks like there is a nice video card in there as well. Again, no price or availability.

We couldn’t open this thing up — Peter tried and almost broke the front panel — but this is a fairly beefy looking PC from ASUS with standard gaming specs and a chromed armor look that would be at home in a WoW player’s basement den. No pricing or availability.

This morning we got to the press office and tried to register Peter Ha on site so we could bring the news to you all. Although the woman had a card, a written application, and Peter Ha was standing right in front of her, they still gave him a badge that says CrouchGear. Therefore, we’re officially changing the name of the site to CrouchGear for the duration of the show.

Best of all, we’d like to invite you, the reader to submit a LOLCAT inspired edit of this Peter Ha photo and you can win a 4 GB SanDisk Cruzer thumb drive. Email your altered photos to contest @ crunchgear.com — we didn’t register crouchgear.com yet — and we’ll post the entrants. Here is a high-res version of the image.
