Hasta La Gadget!

Clickfree’s remarkably useful Transformer Cable isn’t the only new gear being announced from the outfit today — far from it, actually. For starters, it’s bringing a 1TB backup drive with its heralded auto backup functionality at $229.99. Next, we’ve got the entirely overpriced ($19.99) five-pack of DataGuard Clickfree DVDs, while the “automatic” Total Backup Clickfree DVDs ring up at just $14.99 for the same quantity. Potentially more notable is the notion that all Clickfree products are now Mac compatible so long as you’re using OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or higher and an Intel CPU. Moving on, we’re told that Clickfree Online Backup and Flash Backup are both slated to become a reality later this year for folks needing off-site / pocket-sized backup solutions. The full spill is hosted up just past the break, and trust us, it’s crowded down there.

Okay Yahoo!, we’re sorry we teased, we give up, you win. After what certainly seemed on this end to be an endless run of HDTV manufacturers announcing support for the Widget Engine today — and serving up a hefty slap in the face to Microsoft and others who’ve been moving the Internet to TV movement for some time now — all we can do is look over the carnage. Signed up on the app side of platform formerly known as Konfabulator are content providers like eBay, MySpace, CBS, Blockbuster OnDemand (in its first off-2Wire MediaPoint appearance), Netflix, Showtime, USA Today and Twitter, while the Widget Development Kit has opened up to developers interested in putting their apps on the screens of millions. Hardware should street starting this spring from the likes of Samsung, LG, Sony and Vizio leaving the biggest question mark as how the competition and their clumsy external boxes can possibly respond.

We don’t see too many 3D scanners ’round these parts, so we’ll be excited to hit RealView 3D’s booth at CES and see what all the fuss is about. The RealView 360⁰ 3D Desktop Scanner is being billed as the world’s first desktop scanner capable of capturing objects in their full 360⁰ topographic glory, suitable for scanning mugs, model space ships, D&D figurines, and whatever else fits on its base. There are three models available: RealView 360 3D (the plain ol’ VGA scanner), RealView 360 3D HD (for that hi-def resolution you crave) and RealView 360 HD Commercial (for large format scans and kiosks). Beyond that, we’ll just have to wait for CES 2009 to open its doors. Soon.
