alright welcome everybody to CES in depth from the cnet stage at CES 2014 i'm brian Tong you know these two knuckleheads right next to me donna bell and brian cooley jolly Neapolitans to use thank you the theist my esteemed colleagues that here with seen it now for the next 20 minutes we're gonna kind of wrap up and bring you some of the hottest news and products that we heard about today from CES day one yesterday was pressed day today is really officially CS day one so we want to jump right into it we started the day with Sony's keynote and they revealed their new service called PlayStation now if you guys aren't familiar with it this is Sony's kind of answer to bringing some of those games from the ps3 and possibly ps2 backwards compatibility back to the ps4 but through a streaming service streaming gaming service streaming gaming service yes ah you're not you don't care I never got into the Sony stuff so by I'm excited that it looks like it's a way for it's an answer that Microsoft is not provided for like streaming of the back catalogue of games right I mean it seems like a unique Sony proposition was there any pricing around that or pricing it's going to be either subscription or like a or pay service on the spot but they didn't give any price it wasn't strictly games either right wasn't it kind of like all their audio content another component that they haven't announced yet which will be like live TV or recorded TV on demand that you can stream from the that's the question is what live TV and what DVR ability will they have because that's where they can go ahead to head with Xbox which that's a big Delta right now his xbox is going stronger living room and ps4 has gone stronger to rate remaining more game this is an important ketchup move I think to make them more on parity with xbox 360 and it sounds like it's got a little bit of steam box DNA in it right the streaming games moving them all through a lingua franca of the net and just playing them out that way I won't like worry about well or lingua franca do you like I'm kind of hungry exactly that says like a sandwich though absolutely also with Sony they revealed our ultra short throw 4k projector this is called the life UX and think of it as a projector on top of your ceiling really short range maybe more below or via or below somewhere like four or five feet away projects a 147 inch 4k image on your wall retail price ranging around anywhere for 30 to 40,000 dog McDonald described it best there's a picture of it right there you see it down bike as kind of a left to kaz hirai there it looks like a baseboard heater hey this is warm but I mean the way I'm assuming I haven't talked to Kozma about this but I'm assuming this is his dream for what the ideal for case situation would be because he's been pretty strong about how 4k televisions in that 60 70 kind of mostly consumer range of televisions 4k really doesn't make a lot of sense not big enough to have that resolution really deliver anything different port 80 injectors is what he was really excited about it but who's going to install do all the work to install the projector in the back of the room run the cables do all that mess well so a short throw projector right on a little shorter looks like it's throwing like on the wall right there we do we do need to mention that Donald showed us how to build your own projection screen so I think you would be that guy that's not would Bill get the dental unit for this valve I'm sorry thank you for giving that Thun all right also kind of cool little retro throwback Polaroid shows off their Android camera now how many you guys out there remember Polaroid take the picture get the picture instantly this is a cool Polaroid Android camera and it prints out the photo right after you take it it's about a foreign a half inch device socialmatic socialmatic I just love the fact that it's it's bringing some of that nostalgia back and no price is set yet which to me is critical this is the 30 bucks for 80 sheets of print paper which that's just the paper and that is it's not bad it's pretty that's way cheaper than polaroid photos are or were they run about a dollar and exposure you can still buy polaroid film from fujifilm but this is an inexpensive media but if this is like a $90 camera I think people are gonna use it for a while and then tell their friends II i use it for a while then i stopped using it's got to be a cheap camera otherwise forget it it's just not that important is there an Instagram tying or is it just modeled to look like the insula you know what happens it's actually I was gonna get started from a project that was like a Kickstarter that they tried to launch and they were saying this is like an instant Instagram camera of you never took off and then Polaroid partnered with them okay rate this device so this is kind of the the REM it's of that project library looks like an icon right yeah but what I loved about the Polaroid is that it was the anti-social camera right i mean there's no social sharing with you flip the Polaroid film not there has look at your laptop tell you that let you cut it up into a lot of pieces he doesn't scale when I went over to the booth though the the funny behavioral thing people are taking pictures with some of Polaroids other models and they're like well the picture takes too long to see now you know everyone so used to taking the selfie you know you do that a lot here and then looking at the selfie and then sending the self you know you got to shake it out yeah which okay let's dispel the myth right now you don't shake fuller Roy photos and you don't shake these wrinkly you don't shake those either what was the song that did the shake it like a Polaroid picture baby I guess Polaroid pretty to make that thing with how everyone's doing maybe they can make it a new me the new new version of the biggest shake-up a movie shake n bake everyone wants to do all right is in kind of a last one maybe not the sexiest but just another move for yahoo has their kind of trying to transform themselves and really be more even a bigger more relevant content machine they showcased and announced their news digest app this will be on your iPhone first what it does it's a combination of algorithms and curation of the top ten stories it'll be delivered to you early in the morning and then later at night so you kind of get two hits of the latest stuff the most relevant stuff again one of their pushes to get that new content that they you know they want that fresh kind of edge that people are looking for yeah I feel like if it wasn't yahoo no one's getting app coverage like that happen now stream coverage se yes only yahoo could make that happen but it'll be interesting to see it happen yeah when the iPad first came out member all the magazines that launched an iPad was gonna be a magazine platform more than anything at least in the beginning and there are all these new magazines custom built for the ipad and we were all gonna pay for them nobody pays for tablet magazine I think it's down to like maybe two percent of all magazines are like I'm like I'm one of those few people that actually paid you know i buy i buy the physical subscription as well add a little more it's supposed to be really pop that's why i am on one of those guys yeah but i think they say this is going to print magazine like which i don't necessarily is it's more of a digest yeah but the magazine on the multiple thing that arrives at special times like this on a publication moment that's part of why the magazine hasn't been very popular on tablet is we're just used to what we want when we want it although i like the idea their organ I in condensing I think a lot of us miss the organization of a periodic print publication all right now you guys we're gonna check out another headline here have you guys seen the bendable Samsung 85 inch TV yet you guys check that out it's cool when it crazy I don't know if you need it big buzz it's all the big buzz is here so we've got Sharon Vaknin ready to give us a live look if you haven't seen already at one of those bendy tvs in samsung futon is gianni because of the Cold War amped up about this oh hey hey guys we are here at the Samsung booth which is always one of the more striking boots at CES they always put on a big show and this year their biggest product is their curved TVs on this wall behind me are a couple dozen curved TVs and they look pretty good but some people still think they're a gimmick and I want to talk to you guys about that today so 10 feet this way and while we're here look at this food that's kind of insane they're showing off appliances they've got more home theater solutions but what I really want to show you guys today is what's really attracting a huge crowd here at the booth so curved TVs are new and they're so new that Samson knows that consumers aren't necessarily sure whether or not they want to stick with a flat panel or the curved TV so may I introduce the bendable TV this is insane watch as one of the booths attendants clicks a button and the screen just bends mind you this is a glass screen so it's a flexible display the degree at which it's bending is called 4200 are ok that's that sort of describes the radius at which its spending all this talk you might still be wondering and so well first of all you see you guys see this it's got it's like an accordion so can we can we close it again i want to show you how crazy this is so she clicks a button and the screen starts to flatten in theory this is flattening is it going oh my gosh it's so smooth I didn't even know it as boom and it's flat again so I a samsung okay how much is this guy going to be and when is it coming out no answers this isn't really intended to come to market it's really just a prototype to show just how awesome Samsung's technology is and what it can do so don't expect it to come to market as far as the price goes um very expensive 99 ballpark amount so again curved TVs are new they're big hit at CES this year but I think that companies like Samsung do have a long way in convincing consumers that this is what they want my experience I've spent some time in the Samsung booth and I have to say that if you are sitting dead center right smack in the middle of that curved display you're going to have a really immersive experience it's going to feel like you're at a movie theater like a little bit of a 3d effect the moment you step right or left too much though that angle or that viewing angle starts to get a little bit distorted so if I'm over here on the left that side looks really good to me right because now it's curved towards me but right here it's not the best picture for me so I still need to be convinced a little bit at a really big size like this 85 inch or it looks good no arguments there um but for my living room we'll have to see alright guys there's little peek at the Samsung booth and their bendable TV back to you alright guys thanks for sharing for that I think the same some people got to her a little bit two things going on here first of all is taught listen people earlier and they're saying wait a minute you're talking about these curved TVs but isn't the whole idea right now that we're buying super thin LED TVs and maybe eventually Oh LEDs when they become affordable because we love how they just go flat against the wall right now the industry's reverse direction of giving us curved TVs that are about eight inches deep so this is one that answers when you're watching it curve it if its supposedly a better image I'm not convinced either and then when you're done hit the button of thing flattens into the wall for good looks in your house or to show slides that are running just as wall art well even besides watching sharing with the TV you can see like the little the light on the camera that's lighting her was went from being like a pinpoint reflection in the screen to being like a streak that just came out it's like ha I mean of all the the other one one of the more popular around us we have on seen it as like the matte screen TV or TVs for like really reflective rooms this is a TV that creates a war with ok that's really cool the other thing about the whole immersive thing when you ever if you guys go out to the Samsung demo they tell you to stand in the center very close yeah like of course it's going to be immersive when it's wrapped around your peripherals and you're like two feet away from ok so this is this is the dirty little secret of 4k TV the BTS bring it up here when you buy a 4k TV if you ever do one day you're probably buy a bigger TV you've ever had before because you're going to say I want a bigger TV and 4k is great lots of pixels to fill it and then your natural inclination is to say is the biggest TV I ever had we can back up a little bit and still have this big TV yours knit you need to get closer to a 4k TV this is kind of the counter intuitive thing the idea is you get closer the screen there for phils more of your vision creating the immersive affect whether it's curved or not and you still can't see dots or lines maintain the illusion of reality so when you get a higher res TV move in don't sit back otherwise you kind of waste it all right you know when I get this close to Donald yeah how am I sure you're very nice okay I want to get closer ya know okay all right you guys time for break we'll be back kick this show in a moment with a live demo of Panasonic's high-tech moisturizing hair dryer ladies and gentlemen you want to take this out my dad had a Honda my mom had a Honda who is coming from a 2007 honda accord I traded it for fusion titanium I am no joke i test-drove 15 different vehicles I kinda was indifferent toward fort and then i sat in the fusion for the first time but i just like wow this is it you have the power but you have the fuel economy that's what EcoBoost does I love to help people look at what board has to offer okay welcome back to CS in-depth live on the scene s stage now we've got our friend lovely lexus avedis here all the way from cnet sydney she's going to demo off the new Panasonic hairdryer and Lexie I'm gonna just toss it over to use tell us everything about this what's it like thanks Brian well this is a brand new hair dryer okay we're thinking a whole bunch of tech here at CES it's all about bendable TVs everything we're all sorts of connectivity but this is just a hair dryer and no it's not the Home Shopping Network either I'm actually gonna give you a live demo of it the main part about the Panasonic nano is all down to the ionizing technology that's inside so I have here Jeffrey guest artist from Panasonic who is going to be blow-drying my hair now the hairdryer looks pretty much like a standard hairdryer and for all intents and purposes it's got a whole bunch of the same controls so you get a couple of different speeds and a couple of different heats as well as a range of heads and settings so you can style your hair any number of different ways the main difference with the nano e is all down to the ionizing technology and that's from a separate vent at the top that's just above where the actual heated air comes out so these ionizing particles are slightly different to the ones that you find on regular ionizing hair dryers there are a thousand times more moisturizing so this means that all of the moisture from the air and your hair itself is actually going to be locked in so you end up with shinier and more healthy looking hair now Jeffrey's just blow drying a very small section of my hair because it's Vegas it's dry outside it's the desert and my goodness my hair is turned totally frizzy and it's going to take a long time to dry all of it but Jeffrey's doing a pretty good job of styling it at the moment Jeffrey tell me a bit more about how the hair dryer handles is it just like a regular hair dryer I really really love about this dryer is number one the weight of it I've been working all day and everyone's asking my arms are getting tired but they're not really honestly it's a really lightweight blow dryer but what I love about this is it literally conditions the hair as you dry it so the number one complaint I hear in the salon is about heat damage and that's damaged from excessive hair drying but this literally puts the hair in better condition after you've heat styled it which is I think revolutionary guys I've got to admit something actually did pop over to Panasonic's group earlier and get my hair done properly with this nano air dryer and it's actually stood out really really well for the remainder of the day that was about six hours ago or so and I went outside it's not frizzy it's not turning into a lion's mane like it normally does when i get my hair blow-dried or i do a terrible job of it myself of course it helps if you have a professional stylist on an to do it for you but overall the results are proving really really nice and I can definitely see a difference if you want to check out before and after difference you can check out the cnet video I've just popped it up online now so you can see what my hair looks like before and what it looks like after all right it does to be teased hair I know you know you don't mess with this you no matter this I want to see that all good ionized nice drive right yeah I mean I'm a tree died i loved how but some of the ladies from the backstage area keep your on to check out okay for the audience out there right now um how many of you are act like kind of intrigued by this product right now put your hands up hands up all right all right I see
