IFA 2009 in Berlin
In autumn, the who's who in technology gathered in Berlin for IFA 2009 - the world's largest annual consumer electronics show. TODAY was invited by LG to attend the launch of its latest line of products.
LG launched a particularly fetching new TV that was designed with a seamless front but I especially liked more practical devices like its network attached storage (NAS) devices that had a built-in Blu-ray drive which can play, archive and publish Blu-ray discs. You can also store your iTunes library on it and it's compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.
Then there were the digital photo frames, which were simple and well-designed and wouldn't make me cringe if I had to put one on display in the living room. But these frames weren't one-trick ponies. You could hook them up as a secondary display for your computer (particularly useful for harbouring widgets, a Twitter app or your IM list if your onscreen desktop's already too cluttered).
Catch the video to get an eyeful of these gadgets:
