Leadtek
Leadtek's WinFast PalmTop TV box is a portable USB 2.0 device designed for TV, DVD, and VCR capture activities while offering scheduled recording and time-shifting capabilities.
Leadtek was also showing off the capabilities of their DTV2000H analog/digital TV tuner card. The digital portion of the card requires DVB-T input and offers HDTV/AC3 support in full screen or a scalable window.
ASUS
While not exactly multimedia products, Asus was showing several interesting consumer products.
This is the Asus P525 Quad-Band PDA phone featuring VoIP, business card recognition, and a 2M-pixel camera. Considering the amount of business cards we exchanged during our visit, this unit would have come in handy.
Another interesting item was the Asus MyPal A636N Wireless GPS Navigator unit, for those of us who get lost often but also enjoy viewing Windows Media 10 content while searching for directions.
The Asus R2 is based on a 7 inch WXGA LCD platform that is powered by a Celeron M ULV 900MHz CPU with up to a 60GB 1.8" hard drive. It features a GPS unit, full digital video and audio functions, Bluetooth V2.0, 1.3M-Pixel camera, and a RF Biometric Fingerprint reader for security.
If you want to listen to music or FM radio while also having the ability to talk to your friends or family then the Asus V75 is an option. The MPEG4 playback was actually decent on this unit. The phone also includes a 1.3MP camera and allows for memory expansion via a miniSD slot.

Too bad Geil's new enthusiast memory line is Black Dragon instead of Golden Dragon. I had some DDR Golden Dragon stuff, and it was awesome...very nice looking modules too.Skobbolop - Monday, June 12, 2006 - link
haha.. :D that's so typical. after i posted my comment i just wanted to give the compro USB tuner another shot. and after som tweaking and minor adjustment is actually is quite good. Not as good as a standard televison, but watchable.Sorry.
ps. i still get a lot of those products returned though.. i wonder why.

We found their latest products to be on par with others at the show. I think the latest update to the PVR2 software is what made the difference. After comparing the two releases, I can understand why some people would return the product. We were allowed to play with their Release 3 software and were quite impressed. We will have a couple of reviews of their products up in July.Skobbolop - Monday, June 12, 2006 - link
Well. I sell Compro products and i get alot of them returned. The customers are simply not satisfied with the quality. Don't know about the new products though.i've personally tried an analogue USB tuner for a short period of time and i can't say that i was impressed. That said, i've never really tried any other external tv tuner, so i wasn't quite sure what i was expecting when i tried the compro device.

I thought there was a limited timetable for moving to ddr3; but now there is one??does ddr3 just bring more bandwith improvements and lower power use at cost of latency again or is there more?
Gary Key - Monday, June 12, 2006 - link
DDR3 allows higher clocks which will eventually equate into additional bandwidth although none of the mainstream processors are currently starved for bandwidth with DDR2. Some of the original product roadmaps from SIS and Intel showed DDR3 capable chipsets in Q4 of this year. It now appears these plans have slid to late Q1 / early Q2 of next year. DDR3 samples we noticed were at CAS7 settings, for DDR3, CAS5 will be considered very low latency.
