The Pioneer CDJ-2000 knocked the socks, or should that be headphones, off the tech press at its London unveiling last night. It’s a DJ controller, but one intent on banishing laptops from the dancefloor.
It’ll hook up to USB sticks or hard drives full of music, as well as connecting to other kit using IP technology. It’ll also play CDs, and automatically records your mixes, so you can review them later on to fine-tune your turntablism. Check out our hands-on photos to see it in action!

LG has a demo version of its home 3D TV here at CES 2009, so we slipped on the 3D glasses and gave it a go. Much to our surprise, unlike a number of the other 3D TV showings here at CES, it didn’t leave us with a headache or feeling like we needed an Swedish eyeball massage.

Nokia Locate Sensor has just made its debut at CES 2009. The brainchild of the folk over at the Nokia Research Center, Locate Sensor is a prototype service designed to help ensure you never lose anything.

That’s not all it can do. Read on for the full details and to see a photo gallery of it in action. Read more
