The Best of CEATEC 2009

It's not all about singing robots in Tokyo this year. The annual CEATEC tech expo is loaded with the makings of your gadget-geek future.

Most of the more drool-worthy goodies are, of course, only in the prototype or demo stages right now. (Just like IFA before it, it's just a big ol' tease.) For now think of them as a far eastern crystal ball to what we can look forward to at CES come January when us Yanks get to have some fun.

From a Star Trek translator app to the thinnest laptop screen we've ever seen, here is the tech to watch coming out of CEATEC.

Umm...What?

Dude, its bad enough they send us stuff like that one kid who THOUGHT he was getting a new nintendo ds lite, but opened it and found a box of rocks and a newspaper. And i wont even tell you what was in another box that some kid got.

But THIS?
All in all, sometimes, and i mean SOMETIMES, american built things, you just cant beat.

And im not trying to be bad mannered to the japanese, i just thing this is extremely strange.-DaSonicMan
