Here’s a brief rundown of notable items we saw last night at the pre-show event for the press called Unveiled here at CES 2011. We’ll have more hands-on coverage of some of these items this week, plus a ton of other docks, more docks, some items that aren’t docks, and a few more docks and accessories for your iPhone, iPad or iPod. There may even be some items for your Mac!
We wrote about the Withings blood pressure monitor already, but seeing the device in action was a treat. The app looks easy to use and easy on the eyes, and the design on the hardware is impressive. Withings also makes a Wi-Fi scale and introduced a baby monitor that allows you to see your baby via your iPhone or iPad, but also communicate with them.
The nPower PEG is a “personal energy generator” that uses kinetic energy (like when you walk around) to charge up a 1000 mAh lithium polymer battery. In turn, this battery can recharge your iPhone, iPad, etc. You can also charge the battery using the USB port, but where’s the fun in that? It’s much more fun to shake the thing like a Shake Weight, harnessing all that kinetic energy so that you can play another hour of Infinity Blade.
