Supermodel thin video screens at C.E.S.

Samsung super thin digital photo frame prototype. Screen is only 1.2mm thick!

Eric's first report from the floor of the convention center highlights these prototype video screens from Samsung Mobile Electronics. Lance Ulanoff, Editor in Chief of PC Magazine helped us wrap our heads around how these micro thin displays work and where we can expect to see them popping up in the future.

Imagine the GPS display that now takes up space in your dashboard, embedded in the windshield of your car... no more taking your eyes off the road in order to see where you're going!

The screen you see in the pics next to this text is a prototype of a next generation digital photo frame. Right now all over the C.E.S. convention floor vendors are pitching digital photo frames of all shapes and sizes, but NONE of them come close to the design specs of this bad boy. It's 1.2 millimeters thick! Right now it's just for still pictures, but someday you'll be watching "News To Me" on a screen that thick!

No, you can't buy it now, but that's part of the allure of the Consumer Electronics Show... it's a glimpse into the FUTURE!

Is there is a gadget here at C.E.S. that you've heard about and would like us to check out? Leave a comment and let us know... we'll track it down, test it out and let you know if it lives up to the hype (so far almost everything has).

Looking ahead to tomorrow: Eric is geeked about the "Hall of cars," the Sustainable Planet area, and getting his picture taken on the "Jeopardy" set.
