			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Sharper Image may no longer offer retail locations, but they were in full force with new products at CES, however I wasn&#8217;t all that impressed with what they have to offer.</p>
<p>The first product I spotted was their alarm clock butler, which basically provides a polite British voice to wake you up. Honestly, I need a harsh beeping noise to even realize my alarm is going off, so the unit does me very little good. On the other hand the device offered a very bright, easy to read display which I have to admit I was impressed by, I could even read the display from 20 feet away without any eye strain.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-56149" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/56137/the-sharper-image-shows-off-products-at-ces/101_0494-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56149" title="Sharper Image Butler Alarm" src="http://images.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2010/01/101_04941.jpg" alt="Butler Alarm from Sharper Image" width="375" height="500" /></a>The Sharper Image also showcased a wireless MP3 player dock that allows users to sit their units in a dock then wirelessly transfer audio to a mirrored speaker inside their shower, a great way to listen to your favorite tunes without ruining a perfectly good phone/media player.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-56153" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/56137/the-sharper-image-shows-off-products-at-ces/101_0497/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56153" title="Sharper Image, Wireless Media Player Dock" src="http://images.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2010/01/101_0497.jpg" alt="Sharper Image, Wireless Media Player Dock" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Honestly, it&#8217;s nice to see a dock that isn&#8217;t just for Apple devices.</p>
<p>Users can also pick up the Sharper Image 5 day weather forcast display which offers ultra bright picture</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-56158" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/56137/the-sharper-image-shows-off-products-at-ces/101_0503-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56158" title="Sharper Image 5 Day Weather Forecast Machine" src="http://images.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2010/01/101_05031.jpg" alt="Sharper Image 5 Day Weather Forecast Machine" width="500" height="375" /></a>You&#8217;ll notice that it shows the date an dtime plus the low and high temperatures for each day with a special section for the current days weather. It&#8217;s really simple to input your location information and the system can be seen clearly from across the room. It&#8217;s a simple piece of hardware but it&#8217;s well executed.</p>
<p>I also spotted a few soundbars from the company. I would like to say the sound was breathtaking, but in terms of the bass and treble levels I was only o.k. with what they offered. The units also aren&#8217;t as sleek and sophisticated looking as I&#8217;ve come to expect from Sharper Image.  Here&#8217;s a look at a few of their soundbar devices.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-56159" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/56137/the-sharper-image-shows-off-products-at-ces/101_0499/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56159" title="Sharper Image Soundbar" src="http://images.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2010/01/101_0499.jpg" alt="Sharper Image Soundbar" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-56160" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/56137/the-sharper-image-shows-off-products-at-ces/101_0500/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56160" title="Sharper Image Soundbars" src="http://images.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2010/01/101_0500.jpg" alt="Sharper Image Soundbars" width="500" height="375" /></a>Finally I checked out the plug and play iPhone | iPod wall dock which allows users to easily plug in their units and play sound from even small areas in cramped quarters. The sound  again is &#8220;decent&#8221; but nothing to write home about, however for such a small portable unit it was adequate.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-56161" href="http://www.inquisitr.com/56137/the-sharper-image-shows-off-products-at-ces/101_0502/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-56161" title="ipod and iPhone wall dock from Sharper Image" src="http://images.inquisitr.com/wp-content/2010/01/101_0502.jpg" alt="ipod and iPhone wall dock from Sharper Image" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>There were also about two dozen more Sharper Image products, but I can only take so many alarm clock and digital clock exhibits&#8230;.I&#8217;m heading over to the Speck booth, they&#8217;ve been serving micro beer! That&#8217;s an exhibit I&#8217;ll never get sick of.</p>

The folks over at <a href="http://pimpmynews.com">Pimp My News</a> &#8212; which <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/2641/pimp-my-news-turning-blogs-into-mobile-audio/">we reviewed Monday</a> &#8212; have added us into their mix following our observation that we were missing from the offerings.</p>
<p>Pimp My News converts posts from thousands of blog and news sites into audio made available for Web streaming, cell phone streaming, or MP3 player downloads.  The Inquisitr&#8217;s <a href="http://www.pimpmynews.com/SharePlayer.aspx?feed=1268">Tech section</a>, Pop section, and <a href="http://www.pimpmynews.com/SharePlayer.aspx?feed=1270">Odd section</a> now all have their own streams <a href="http://www.pimpmynews.com/SearchFeeds.aspx?searchterm=inquisitr">within the appropriate categories there</a>.</p>
<p>CEO John Atkinson also tells us he and his team are working on resolving the two issues we mentioned in our original post &#8212; site speed and content turnaround time &#8212; and are preparing to roll out a slew of new features for the service as well.</p>
<p>On a side note, if you didn&#8217;t see our <a href="http://www.inquisitr.com/2641/pimp-my-news-turning-blogs-into-mobile-audio/">initial review of the service</a>, you can now <a href="http://pimpmynews.com/SharePlayer.aspx?item=1171447">listen to it</a> as well&#8230;it was among the first Inquisitr stories pulled into the site.</p>
