Quick CES Highlights: Undercover Palms, Slinging Cable Modems, and Mo Mylos

Here is a quick recap of the few things that grabbed my attention in the barrage of press releases I got on CES day one.

First of all Sling Media has pulled a surprise out of their hat by announcing they they created a “Cable Labs Certified” cable modem with a built in Slingbox. Interesting eh?

SlingModem is the first cable modem with a built-in Slingbox. This product is fully functional and CableLabs certified. We’re in talks with a variety of MSOs in the US and worldwide to bring this product to market.

Secondly Bill Gates, in his last EVER CES keynote, seems to have leaked a yet unknown Treo model. It is speculated that it is the Treo 800w or Treo 850, which are CDMA and GSM accordingly. It appears to be based off the new Centro design and sporting the new Windows Mobile OS.

Also, Sony let the wraps off their much improved and much ignored Mylo internet enabled handheld. It sports an upgraded OS that is nothing like the generation one model, touchscreen, and full YouTube and Flash support, as well as a 1.3 MP camera. Can’t wait to review this one. Hey Apple, if Nokia and Sony have full flash support on their handhelds – WHY CANT YOU?!
