Well, last week was CES (Consumer Electronics Show), and this week it’s Mac World’s Expo.  I haven’t forgotten about either, and I’m sorting through all the latest information.  Later in the week I’ll be posting some interesting items and picks.  From what I’ve seen so far, video is one of the big items this year.  Video “on demand” over the Internet.  Not a shocker.

Some of my favorite manufacturers are releasing new hardware and software this week as well.  Sure enough, there are several items that will be of use to RV owners.

As a “sneak peak” for the favorites I’ll post this week I’d suggest going to LaCie’s web site and looking at their new portable drives.  While pricey, they’re definitely of interest to anyone looking to save some space.  In particular, their new “Rugged All Terrain Hard Drive” has definitely peaked my interest.  It’s yet another portable drive that can be used for backup storage, video, audio, whatever you’d like to store!  Like many of LaCie’s other portables it doesn’t require a power adapter, rather it draws from the USB or Firewire connection to your computer.  And the size……well, check out the link above.

I won’t be racing out to buy the new LaCie.  I’ve already got their 100GB portable drive, and haven’t quite filled it up yet.  But this new drive sure is tempting!
There will be more on PVR’s this week, some new video viewers, and even a few items not worth picking up at the moment.  Yup, I’ve got a few items on my “needs to be panned” list.

Off for some more reading.  Oh, and we’ll have another video web cast coming up soon….
