If you’ve been reading Krunker, then you know that I took a bit of a whirlwind trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to attend CES 2007. I actually only spent a day at CES (on Monday) since I had to get back to work on Tuesday so I literally skimmed through the entire show looking for the major highlights.

While at CES, I did notice several Zune related items - first off - it was pretty clear that Microsoft was still heavily marketing the Zune. When you got off the bus at the Las Vegas Convention Center, you were immediately presented with ads galore!

At Microsoft’s main booth within the LVCC, the Zune had it’s own section complete with various 3rd party accessories on display. The following are the snapshots that I took of the Zune accessories on display.

Here’s an Altec Lansing product on display. Features include, Zune dock connector, digital FM radio (umm why?), wireless remote , works with CD and MP3 players, and 100 watts RMS.

Here’s an interesting product from iME (Integrated Mobile Electronics). It’s called the iME Docking Station and it allows you to dock the Zune within your car - letting you listen to music and watch videos from the Zune in your automobile. Features of the iME automotive docking station includes:

  • Play high quality video and audio
  • Connects to all entertainment systems in the behicle
  • Remote control for your Zune (hands free)
  • Seamless integration
  • Charges the Zune

Next up are several Memorex products for the Zune.

Here was a Dual in-dash car stereo module for the Zune.

Some JBL speakers for the Zune..

Some Belkin accessories for the Zune..

Here’s that huge speaker system called Octavio 1 from VAF again…

Your friendly neighborhood DLO products on display..

BTW, I picked up a DLO Power Pack for my trip to Vegas.. and well. it works. What else can I say? (well I’ll give a review of the unit shortly.. as soon as I get around to reviewing the Zune finally too!)

The folks at iHome were certainly not going to be left out of the dark when it came to Zune products too. Here’s a picture of various Zune accessories.

Good ol Griffin Tech had some cool stuff on hand for the Zune..

And of course.. if you’ve never seen Microsoft branded stuff.. here they are:

Finally, Microsoft even set up a “Zune lounge” where people could come and relax and sit on couches. If you walked around CES then you’ll totally appreciate the notion of having a place to sit and relax!!

If you were at CES, let me know and post up a comment here! What did you think of it?
