We snuck in to grab shots of a slew of 2005 model phones--many of which will be coming to the U.S. The star of the show, alas, will never hit U.S. shelves. It's the Nokia 7710, a new Symbian smart phone (it actually looks more like a PDA than a phone) with a 640-by-320 touch screen, 1-megapixel camera, excellent Web browser, FM radio, and 90MB of free memory.

A redesigned, svelte version of the PlayStation 2 console is slated to go on sale in November. The new PS2 is about the size of a hardcover book, and much more portable than the current console (see the photo). It weighs less than half as much as the current version and is much thinner.

Adobe is jumping on that issue, gaining backers for a standardized format for raw digital images. When digital images are saved as JPEG or TIFF files, they are altered from the original raw image file, and image artifacts can crop up. Adobe's new Digital Negative specification and free converter tool let users save images--from more than 65 camera types--before any processing goes on inside the camera.

You and your spouse look at each other and wonder: Did you close the bedroom window? Not sure, you use your cell phone to connect to a home robot that not only responds to typewritten commands but knows how to navigate your home and identify your bedroom. It leaves its charging station, walks into your room, takes a photo and wirelessly mails it back to you. To your relief, the window is shut tight.
