CES 2010: Show Floor Coverage (Part 2)

By Vincent Chang - 9 Jan 2010

D-Link and Shuttle

D-Link's Booth

D-Link had quite a healthy crowd at its booth, mostly attracted to one device, the Boxee Box.

And here is the Boxee Box and a glimpse of its rather polished interface. That's before we found out that Boxee is a software application that's free for download and is in essential a media organizer that draws on sources like the internet, your hard drive and your network drives to create an unified interface for your media.

The Boxee Box as we learnt, uses the new Tegra 2 inside, so playback of media should not be an issue, especially since the software supports subtitles and an extensive list of formats. Here you can see it has a SD card slot and a USB port.

The prototype D-Link DNS-213 is a single-bay 2.5-inch ShareCenter NAS. All you need to do is to plug it into your router and it should take care of everything else, like serving files to your other networked PCs and even over the internet. No pricing info yet nor firm availability.

Can a touchscreen make a router sexy? Well, th printer guys are doing it so why not? Personally, we aren't too sure but D-Link is taking this route with the D-Link Touch. Available by the end of Q2 for around US$360.

Shuttle's Booth

It was rather quiet at Shuttle's booth, which had its main attraction its updated multi-touch AIO. The fact that half the booth was dedicated to Shuttle's motherboard designs could be a reason too.

Now with Intel dual-core Atom D510 inside, the Version 2 of the Shuttle X50 All-in-one now comes with multi-touch too, though the other specs are quite standard and ordinary.

We also spotted a new barebones PC using the Intel H55 chipset. The SH55J2 supports both Core i3 and i5 processors with built-in graphics.
