The Consumer Electronics show is underway this weekend in Las Vegas showcasing the hottest in high-tech for 2006 and products that will make the lives of consumers a little easier.
Products like the ThinkPad x41 Tablet from Lenovo make getting organized simple: it functions as a PDA and doubles as a portable notebook, which can take handwritten notes with a Tablet Digitizer Pen (www.pc.ibm.com). Multitasking phones make lugging around music and gaming devices a thing of the past (www.SonyEricsson.com).

The powerful real-life story of Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene (portrayed by Academy Award nominee Don Cheadle), an outspoken ex-con who talked his way into becoming an iconic radio personality in the 1960s in Washington, D.C. Sparked by both the era's vibrant soul music and exploding social consciousness, Petey openly courted controversy at a white-owned station. Relying on his producer Dewey Hughes (double Golden Globe Award nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor) to run interference, Petey's unprecedented "tell it like it is" on-air style gave voice and spirit to the black community during an exciting and turbulent period in American history.

Rock / New Wave / Pop put on a smile, they're coming your way...with alt-rock radio station-friendliness on "Put on a smile. They're coming your way," foursome China Room's full-length debut. The title even sounds like it could be plastered across a Radiohead CD. But these guys prove they're originals. The highly-produced sound of this album is California all the way, starting from opening track "my friend the manic" ("scripted nights in California, young and bright in California") it's a journey best described as angst goes to the beach, a panorama of a Sunshine State burning up into oblivion.
