CES video: 'Mall Cop' tech and Kurt the Cyberguy's best of CES

January 13, 2009 |  7:51 pm

An L.A.-based news operation owned by the Tribune Co. blankets the Consumer Electronics Show. Yeah, OK, that applies to us here at the L.A. Times. But our sister property, KTLA-Channel 5, did the same thing, sending a few dozen people into the wilds of Las Vegas to discover some of the best gadgets at CES.

In the video above, KTLA's Kurt the Cyberguy rounds up some of his favorite finds from CES. They include ultrathin TVs and a new Sony Cyber-shot camera with a touch-screen display and Wi-Fi connection so you can send photos and videos without plugging it in.

And in the video below, comedian Kevin James shows off some of the, er, sort of high-tech gear featured in his upcoming movie, "Paul Blart: Mall Cop." They include the Sony Mylo hand-held communicator, the Segway transporter, invisible ink detectors and flash grenades used by the film's bad guys. "I wouldn't mind setting them up around my refrigerator when I'm trying to cut weight," James says.
