We've seen many digital media players equipped with speakers over the years. However, Coby MP-735 has a twist on that, literally. The new media player from Coby has a pair of speakers to the the back of its body. To expose the speakers, just slide them down and twist; the speakers also act as a stand for the player.

Like most new digital media players from Coby, the MP-735 features a touchpad control with LED backlight. It is equipped with a 1.66" LCD, integrated flash memory, FM radio, photo viewer and text viewer. The player supports Windows Media DRM 10 and other popular media formats.

Like sharing your music with your friends but don't like them to get too close to you? Then, throw that splitter jack away, pick up the i2i Stream music sharing devices and start sharing music wirelessly.

The concept behind the i2i is quite ingenious. Each i2i Stream device can either stream music from another i2i Stream or listen in on one that is broadcasting. The device can receive or broadcast on one of the 7 color-coded channels. To broadcast your music, just plug in an audio source (iPod , Zune, etc.) and pick one of the 7 colors to broadcast. For others to listen in, they just need to "tune" in by picking the same color as the broadcasting channel. With the range of 30 feet, up to 7 channels of CD quality music can be broadcast and shared at once. The best thing is there is no limit to how many people can share.

The i2i Stream will be available soon for $69.95 with a 2-pack version priced at $129.95.

Streaming music across multiple rooms using over-the-air wireless technology is nothing new. Tech companies have been doing this for years. However, IOGEAR has just added a new twist to the mix with their Powerline Stereo System.

Instead of using RF-based technologies like WiFi or Bluetooth, IOGEAR's Powerline Music System uses a HomePlug-compliant technology to stream music using electrical outlets around the house. IOGEAR's powerline-based technology allows for data to be transmitted with the range of over 990ft, which is greater than most WiFi networks; it also suffers less interferences from appliances around the house. The Powerline Music System has a built-in iPod dock and analog input jacks for connecting to external audio source. One transmitter is able to handle up to 4 receiver modules.

There is no doubt that one of the phones that people are drooling over right now is the new ROKR E8. What a long way from the first ROKR that was the laughing stock of just about everybody. The phone's main feature is its shiny flat surface with "morphing" soft buttons. It uses vibration to simulate the feel of buttons on the phone's surface. To aid with navigation, the phone is embedded with a 3/4 circle pad that can be used to adjust volume and other settings.

It was almost love at first touch when I finally got a chance to use the phone. The sleek black body is beyond sexy. The weight and size feel just right. Though the phone's surface is completely flat, the vibration it emits make your fingers feel like they're actually touching real buttons. The "morphing" buttons on the phone is the main draw for me. Depending on what the current function is, the phone displays an appropriate "icon" on each button. For example, if you are using its phone function, the buttons will display numbers on the keypad. Likewise, it only displays music controls when the phone is in the media player mode. Though the phone lacks 3G support, it does support EDGE, so it's not at all that bad. And the 2MP camera and a built-in 2GB memory should be sufficient for most users (including me).

I took several photos of the E8 that I wanted to share with you but I was not able to get one good shot of the phone. So, I can only supply you with the stock ones offered to the press.

IPEVO is finally unveiling their PoV (point-of-view) webcam today at CES. Unlike traditional webcam, the PoV camera, with its pen-like form factor, is designed to be held to give the camera audience on the other end a unique point of view. The user of the PoV camera can point the camera to an object or text on a book to better get their point across. The camera is also Skype-enabled with a unique feature for sending snapshots to a Skype contact with just a click on the built-in button.

For business customers, IPEVO has also announced its VoiP Conference Station. The new product is designed to deliver business quality teleconference experience over the Internet. Besides supporting VoiP standards like Skype, Google Talk and Windows Live Messenger, the Conference Station supports a host of enterprise VoiP systems such as Microsoft Office Communicator, Avaya one-X Deskphone Edition, Cisco IP Communicator and Nortel MCS Client.

Lastly, IPEVO has updated new features to their existing Skype-enabled products. The company has updated their FREE.1 USB handset to support enterprise-class VoiP standards to appeal to business users. It also updated their SOLO Skype-enabled desktop phone with WiFi capability.

The company will be offering CES attendees free internet calls using their latest Skype-enabled products.

This product is so new that the reps at the booth were just trying to familiarize themselves with it; they just got done setting it up when I got to the booth.

The MX780HD is an upgrade to the popular MX760HD media player. LIke the Apple TV, it can stream content (photos, music and videos) from computers via wired or wireless network. However, the MX780HD can play high-definition videos up to 1080p and supports a long list of media formats. The one thing missing from the MX780HD is a built-in hard drive but that's hardly a disadvantage. User has the option of installing an SATA drive or attach a USB drive to it.

After a brief demo, I was quite impressed with its features and its flexibility. However, I find the on-screen text too jaggy. Also, the only mode of navigation is via files and folders; this means you can't navigate music using ID3 tags (artists, albums, genre, etc.)

The Sweden-based Neonode is finally bringing the Neonode N2 cell phone to the US. While our European friends have been enjoying this ultra-compact phone since August 2007, we still have just a few more months to go before it will be available to us in the States. However, the company remains tight-lipped about who will the carrier for the phone here.

The Neonode N2 runs on Windows CE 6.0 and features a 176x200 touch screen, Quad-band GSM, an media player, a 2MP camera, and an internet browser. The phone is covered with a rubberized shell that gives the user a very nice tactile feel and prevents it from slipping. Because of its compact size, the phone is ideal to go around the neck as an accessory.

After spending some time playing with the Neonode, I was thoroughly impressed with it. The Neno user interface, which reacts to sweeps and taps, responded well to the touch. Even at 2", the screen was crisp and sharp though some text might appear to be too small. The media player's interface is very intuitive, leveraging the Neno interface. Though the audio is loud and clear through the earphones, the built-in single speaker is a little weak.
