Offbeat tech: The misfits of CES

Here are eight unusual items--some available, others strictly conceptual--that caught our eye at CES 2010.

Hannspree Polar Bear HDTV



Hannspree says its TVs are designed to be "bold declarations of your individuality, pride, and personal style."

There's little doubt the company's new polar bear TV--the official name wasn't announced at the show--oozes more, uh, personal style than most of us could bear. (Cue: groans.)

Available in March, this arctic wonder sports a 17-inch screen, 720p HD (1280 pixels x 720 pixels) resolution, and costs US$299.

Bottom line: A '10' on the kitsch-o-meter, but preschoolers may love it.
