This is not just another guitar controller for Guitar Hero or Rockband. It's a digital guitar! A guitar you won't have to tune ... ever! You can go from playing a game to actually playing guitar (if you know how). It's very comfortable to play versus the plastic controllers you use for your game system, which gives you blisters. Another cool feature is the "YouRock" Mode, which allows you to only play the right notes. Inspired Instruments hopes this inspires you to learn how to play a real guitar, if you don't know how. To play Guitar Hero or Rockband on your game system, you'll have to purchase a "GameFlex" cartridge. To take it a step further, you can connect the guitar to your computer (PC/Mac) and record yourself rocking out. YouRock Guitar will be available in Q1 of 2010 for $199. Video Coming Soon! |

A lot of us at “Into Tomorrow” have been fans of Boxee since their conception. We're excited about the Boxee Box from D-Link, which brings all of your favorite TV shows & movies from the Internet or your hard drive onto your TV, without the need of a PC. The design is pretty neat, too. The Boxee Box will be available in Q2 2010. By the way, you can download the FREE Boxee software here. Video Coming Soon! |

The IdeaPad U1 Hybrid isn't just a tablet -- its screen detaches completely, giving you a different experience. (See it in the video on the left) We like it because you're getting two products in one. Tablets -- or "slates" -- will definitely be a hot item in 2010! It is estimated that will cost around $1000 whenever it's released. Stay tuned! Watch the video interview on the left to see how the IdeaPad converts into a tablet computer. |

eneloop Synergetic Hybrid Bicycle by Sanyo Want to ride your bike to work without losing your breath? We rode the eneloop bike at CES and were impressed with the little boost electric power gives you. The eneloop is a 26-inch, three-speed regenerative, pedal-assist hybrid electric bicycle. It's very "green" by reusing resources such as “energy” by “looping” it in a sustainable cycle. Will cost about $2300. Watch the video interview on the left to learn more. |

Tiffen also showed adapters for Flip cameras and for the Motorola Droid. Wil be available soon. Watch the video interview on the left to see the Smoothee in action. |

It's the first quadricopter that can be controlled by your iPhone or iPod Touch. The AR.Drone is a Wi-Fi helicopter with 2 cameras for an augmented reality videogame experience. We love how simple it is to control it. Just lean your iPhone/iPod Touch forward to move forward or sideways to change direction. Sweeeeet! |
Panasonic 1080p Full HD 3D Technology "Into Tomorrow" was very impressed with the technology of Panasonic's new 3D TVs. Panasonic selected the frame sequential method to bring cinema-like realism to 3D movies, gaming and sporting events at home. Separate images for the left and right eyes at 1920 X 1080 full-HD quality are alternately played at high speed. By watching these images through special LCD glasses that are timed to open and close the right and left lenses in synchronization with the alternating images, the viewer is treated to some exciting 3D realism. After a few minutes, you don't even notice the stylin' 3D glasses. Just sit back -- or jump back -- and enjoy the realism. Watch the video interview on the left to learn more about their 3D technology. |

ZOMM, wireless leash for mobile phones ZOMM makes sure you don't lose your mobile phone, therefore, acting as a leash. It also works as a speakerphone for incoming calls, has a panic button and can call emergency assistance from anywhere in the world with just one touch of a button. It pairs easily with your phone via Bluetooth. Will be available later this year. Watch the video interview on the left to find out more about ZOMM and where the name comes from. |
