Can’t say we really expected to see anything from Western Digital here at CeBIT, but sure enough, it brought along its 2TB Caviar Green hard drive, WD TV HD media player and the new 8TB ShareSpace NAS. Along with oodles of other external, internal and somewhere-in-between drives, too. We actually kind of spazzed upon seeing two terabytes of empty space within a single internal HDD, but hopefully the blur isn’t too noticeable. Enjoy!

MSI’s Wind NetTop CD130 was quietly introduced at the tail end of CES this year, and if you’re suspecting that it’s simply a cousin of the NetTop D130, you’d be right. We caught two of the boxes on hand at CeBIT, both of which were sporting a dual-core Atom processor and one of which was entirely more colorful than the other. Supposedly, these things only draw around 40 watts of power, but don’t expect to do anything other than process Word documents, surf the web and send email with any amount of haste. Per usual, you’ll find more images just there in the gallery.

As with FujiFilm’s latest bunch, we were quite shocked to see Canon’s newest offering out and about in Hannover. Granted, most of the good one were caged under lock and key (yes, we’re talking to you, elusive PowerShot SX1), but that didn’t stop us from mashing our lens (and lips, we won’t lie) up against the glass and pulling the shutter. You already know about the specs, now check out the skins and the European model names. Sassy.

While most of Hama‘s CeBIT booth consisted of random USB drives, cases and other sorts of low-rate accessories, this particular low-rate accessory grabbed our hearts and wouldn’t let go. The absurdly titled Game Wheel Speed-X is evidently geared to work with Apple’s latest iPod touch, though we reckon an iPhone 3G should slide right in without too much effort. Clearly, this aims to be a Wii Wheel for your favorite Apple handheld, though we have to wonder how many individuals plan on carrying this ridiculously large piece of plastic around with their touch. Actually, we don’t have to wonder. Jump past the break for a couple of video demonstrations.

While it was Acer’s Windows Home Server-equipped easyStore H340 getting the Atom upgrade last month, we’re taking a look at the Atom 230-packin’ Altos easyStore here at CeBIT. Boasting four hot-swappable bays and a ravishing design, this here NAS device is suitable for avid home users and the everyday small business owner. ‘Round back, we found four USB 2.0 sockets, an Ethernet jack and an eSATA port, but why not head to the gallery and see all of it with your own two eyes?

Future Parc Hall, an out-of-the-way palace where we spotted Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft’s iPoint 3D yesterday, was also home to two of the baddest, most sophisticated robots we’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. Tattooed DESIRE (the orange guy) and Rollin’ Justin (the blue fellow), these two humanoids were built with the hope of one day being available for sale to elderly and single individuals who need another being around the house to take care of things. DESIRE seemed mighty great at picking up random cans and tossing ’em in the garbage, while Rollin’ Justin listened intently to commands from his master, spoke aloud to confirm them, and then obeyed. We captured everything on video for those who couldn’t make it to CeBIT, so hop on past the break to have a look.

MSI hasn’t made a big fuss about it, but the Wind Box DE200 is new for CeBIT 2009. The unit seems to be the bigger brother of its Wind Box DC100, and while we’re stoked about the optional Blu-ray player, we’re seriously doubting that the listed Celeron M 550 (2GHz) is the only CPU available. The unit also comes loaded with NVIDIA’s GeForce 9400M GPU, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 160GB hard drive, 802.11n WiFi, HDMI and DVI outputs, Windows Vista Home edition, a multicard reader, audio in / out, Ethernet, a few USB 2.0 ports and an overly glossy enclosure. We’ve no pricing or release information to share just yet, but you can peek a few more angles down in the gallery below.
