What new revolutionary products are being released at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year?
I'm interested to see if CES produces any must-have products, since MacWorld seems to have been sort of a let down in the product department.
I'm not looking for speculation here, just products that are actually making their debut.

Energizer is releasing a solar powered battery recharger. It seems pretty cool!
The heart of the gadget is a simple battery charger, intended for regular rechargeable AA and AAA batteries and primarily powered by an AC jack and assisted by a flip-out solar panel. A USB port is capable of providing power to a connected gadget, which allows the Solar Charger to also act as a sort of extended battery for virtually any USB-powered device, iPods included.
By choosing cheap semi-disposable rechargeable batteries as the guts of the device, Energizer will reportedly be able to keep the price down at a reasonable $50, 2 AAs included. Considering additional features like weatherproofing and a rotating solar panel, the Solar Charger could turn out to be a cheap, viable alternative to the endless droves of device-specific battery extenders and pricey solar chargers that are floating around for the time being. The official announcement is expected at CES 2009.
Toshiba High Definition TVs:

The Cell has a bunch of processors on a single chip and serves as the heart of the PlayStation 3 console.
The company calls the new technology Cell TV and is showing it off in its booth.
Eye Fi:
At CES, Eye-Fi, inc. announced that it is developing a way for users to wirelessly upload their videos straight from their digital cameras to YouTube. There will be no need to dock your camera or even turn on a computer before millions of users are watching a video...
