Here are some more products that our CES correspondent Greg Weinstein found a interesting.
Sharp Galapagos tablets
Sharp introduced the Galapagos 5.5″ and 10.8″ tablets late last year for the Japanese market, running a custom Linux-based OS. The tablets are WiFi only with a 3G option and allows for content sync and transfer between Sharp devices.
This tablet is primarily for book-reading and Sharp already has its own ebook store but the company is working on getting music and movies on to its store as well. Sharp is planning to bring the tablets to the US and internationally but possibly with a change of operating system which may or may not be Android-based.
The 5.5″ version sports a 1024 * 600 pixel display while the 10.8″ carries 1366 * 800 pixels.
Twonky
Once you get past the funny-sounding name, you’ll find a media sharing application that works across multiple types of devices using DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) technology. With it you’ll be able to send videos, music, and photos from your Android device to any home entertainment system that carries the DLNA specification. Twonky is also available for the Mac and PC
Withings
This is the company that brings integration between mobile devices and healthy living products. A couple of Withings’ products are internet-connected bathroom scale and an iPhone enabled baby monitor. In this video the company introduces the iOS-based blood pressure cuff which connects to any iOS device and works with a corresponding iOS app.
