It has been widely reported that attendance at CES 2009 was down. While it was much easier to walk around the halls without feeling like you were stuck in a New Your subway, we stayed busier than ever just trying to keep up with everything. There were definitely good products to see and great folks [...]

Lenovo’s new all-in-one, the A600, has a nifty new feature: the remote has built-in VOIP features and its new accelerometer lets allows you to play ping pong, and such, like you do on the Wii. I tried it out and it feels just like playing on the Wii. Check out the video demo.
