CES 2008: Best tech for and by small businesses

LAS VEGAS - The 150,000 nerds that swarmed to Vegas from around the world didn't witness the birth of the next iPhone or similar blockbuster. In the words of FSB tech columnist Jonathan Blum: "In 2008, the tech thing will be sort of like going to Costco: You'll have to be prepared to dig a bit to get the really good stuff." Below, his picks for the best of CES for and by small businesses.

No more traveling projectors

Doing a good presentation on the road is still a relatively clumsy affair. Business-class portable projectors are clunky and not very effective, but the next-best option is to have clients sit next to your laptop screen in some sort of virtual Kumbaya.

So I'm very interested in any new alternative to mobile presentations. Enter a Korean start-up called e-Detail. The company is creating a line of essentially portable presentation tablet PCs. These units have two screens: a large working screen and a secondary, small presentation display that clients and colleagues can see as you speak. The Prezenter PSR is just crawling to market, with e-Detail looking for American distribution. But the company sells them in Korea, and they are worth at least a look if you are outfitting your sales people with new gear this year.
