Disclaimer: I have one of these devices that I am testing at this time. Vudu is one of the most unique products I have had exposure to in a long time. Vudu allows you to rent movies like you would on Pay Per View. Vudu also allows you to actually buy the movie and store on its internal hard drive.

This box delivers 1000's of videos new and old. The releases of videos are on a very similar time table as standard pay per view. Since this interview the vudu box price has been reduced to $295.00 which is a much better price than the old price.

If you want more information on Vudu and info on future special offers please visit www.rawvoiceoffers.com and enter promo code "VUDU" or visit www.vudu.com

SpeechGear is a company that is very innovative for their language translation software. They are the experts in translating nearly anything and use military technology to translate the spoken word. Having talked to them in 2007 they have came a long way with their products.

I thought translating text was hard these folks take it to a whole new level. This is a series of software products that run on windows mobile operating systems or a standard windows machine. A cool new product they have introduced is called Compadre which is a series of five modules.

Compadre Interact™ is the ultimate in bi-directional interactive language translation: you speak to the system, it repeats what you said in a different language. Compadre:Interpreter™ is the next generation of PDA translator, Compadre:Document™ provides quick and accurate translations of Microsoft Office files such as PowerPoint presentations and Word documents. Compadre:Camera™ translates anything you see. Any text that you can scan or take a picture of – signs, menus, documents and more – is translated in seconds. Compadre:Composer™ provides a common translation engine for the entire Compadre product line.

This company is delivering some very cool translation software. If you want more information on SpeechGear and info on future special offers please visit www.rawvoiceoffers.com and enter promo code "SpeechGear" or visit www.speechgear.com

A first of a kind keyboard where each key can have its own image and function programmed into it. The keyboard is very unique where you can have the keyboard programmed to do anything you want it to and have a unique layout as well. Demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show.

The keyboard retails for $500.00 it was definitely the most unique keyboard I have ever seen. The price may be high but it can be re-programmed to be much more than a keyboard.
