Have a good idea for a new product for SFE or Olimex? Let us know!

Anybody seen anything new and exciting at CES? I just got here, and so far, 3D and flat screens are the big "news".

Big 3D flatscreens are about the ONLY news.

Oh, and loads of eReaders, and thanks to Apple loads of crappy tablets.

w00t, best CES ever.

Still, I do want a 57" 9mm thick LED samsung 3D tv!

Yeah, flat screens abound. I have to laugh at a 1/2" thick flatscreen that is 3D...Somehow I just see that as a contradiction!
The Quadracopter is immensely cool! In stand alone mode, it will follow an orange cone along like a puppy dog at 6 feet off the ground. On your Ipod touch, you can fly it around, while watching through the on board cameras as a POV. Gyros, accelerometers and ultrasonic distance monitors built in. Price tag???? Undecided. I'm guessing mid 4s.
Also, the Eye-fi SD card with built in 802.11, has alll kinds of neat apps for stealth picture or video download. Just the type of thing Sparkfun should be carrying...And re-tasking!
The Hybra bluetooth text messaging ring has potential, but it is still huge. Too big to be comfortably worn anywhere, but the vibrating feature does cause some possibilities to be thought of...
That's it for now.
Headed back to see "Abbey" from NCIS.
