Ugh! Will any of these devices become REAL products? The PC giants remind me of GM. They show off amazing concept products, and have no intention of ever building them. :roll:

[Phoenix]

Real products? I wouldn't see why not. Although, me likes the remote control !

[Suhit Gupta]

I have to agree with Kent here. I wonder whether these products will really make it. Although, I suspect it is easier to put out tech like this than one of those concept cars ;-)

Actually I've been fairly impressed with how many of the concept devices are produced. Think of the eHome/DMC PCs and Tablet PCs of a few years ago. It may take some time, but if they're good products, companies will make them.
