ASUS has announced a number of new products today, one of them is the Transformer Book Trio. This particular product is actually a laptop, desktop and a tablet rolled into one. It can either be used separately as a tablet or it can be connected to a PC Station to use as a laptop. The PC station can be connected to another external display through a Mini DisplayPort or micro-HDMI to use the Transformer Book Trio as a desktop. It has a 11.6 inch full HD IPS display. In tablet mode, it is powered by a 1.6GHz Intel Atom Z2760 processor aided by 2GB of RAM. It is available in 16/32/64GB storage options. There’s a 5 megapixel rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, a 720p front camera is also present. Android 4.2 Jelly Bean powers the tablet.

ASUS has taken the wraps off its new Transformer Pad TF701T, a 10.1-inch Android slate that is very similar to the Transformer Pad Infinity we saw at the beginning of June.

The Xperia Z1 was clearly the darling of today’s Sony press event at IFA, but what is a smartphone without a smart imaging stand, right? The peripheral only got a quick mention as Kaz ran through phone specs, but we managed to get a bit more time with it on the floor afterward. The device is a cradle for your handset that you can control via phone, tablet or, in this case, the company’s new SmartWatch 2. That’s what Sony was using at the event — though, we have to say, while we appreciated it killing two birds with one stone, maybe it wasn’t the ideal choice.

Tap the icon on the watch’s display and you’ll see a barebones interface. At the center is a camera icon for still photos, with a video record icon in the upper right. There are also four arrows around the perimeter that let you adjust the stand’s position. We had some serious trouble with the latter. Connected with the stand via Blueooth, we found ourselves having to hit the arrows multiple times to get it to move. When we did eventually get it to shift, the whole stand moved a bit — though we’re willing to chalk some of that up to the somewhat precarious position the stand was in while on display.%Gallery-slideshow79438%

Sure smart watches are the hot newness, but Sony’s already been there and done that. In fact, the company got a jump on IFA by first announcing its second-gen wearable way back in late June. The device did grab a brief mention at today’s press conference (due in part, we suspect, to something Samsung may have up its sleeve), and the device got some face time on the IFA show floor. The watch doesn’t look entirely unlike its predecessor, though there have been some modifications.

For starters, the display has been kicked up a bit to a 1.6-incher with 220 x 176 resolution. Of course, that’s still a tiny color touchscreen, so you’re only going to fit around six icons on there at any one time. The device is also slimmer than its predecessor, which goes a long way for something you’re going to wear on your wrist, though we wouldn’t exactly call it thin at the moment.%Gallery-slideshow79435%
