The Canadians Are Coming! The Canadians Are Coming!

One of the surprises of this year's CES was some cool products coming from Canadian companies - I'll spotllght 3 here - two from Quebec.


This was probably the coolest thing your Dudeness of DV saw at the show. I'm not into gaming, or 3D, but I gotta say, this ROCKED. The VRX iMotion Simulator. Anyone who tried it was blown away. From beautiful British Columbia. You can see more at http://www.vrx.ca/imotion.php


This Quebec company was previewing this cute little device. Expected to retail for $200, and anticipated summer delivery, this is going to be one of those impulse buys that could be a lot of fun. Tamaggo is Japanese for "egg", and captures 360 degree panaromic images with a 14 megapixel sensor. If it works as advertised, this could be a big seller. Learn more at http://www.tamaggo.com


The ultimate desk/chair combination. Feel like you are commanding the Starship Enterprise with this "office chair".  At $6200 (without monitors), it is a niche product, but what stockbroker wouldn't want to work in this? Sure beats sitting in a cubicle.
