Walletex Booth at CES 2007

I dropped by the Walletex booth last week at CES 2007 and played with an early prototype of their Wallet MP3 credit card sized player. And yes folks - this device is for real! Here are shots of the player that I took while holding it in my hand. The person I talked to mentioned that the buttons were still being worked on and everything is on track for a release later this year.

Features of the Wallet MP3 player are as follows:

  • Support for personalized full color printing
  • Memory capacities up to 2GB
  • Earphone plugs into USB connector
  • Double sided USB 2.0 easily connects with host computer
  • Rechargeable battery - charges while connected to the computer
  • Waterproof version available

Walletex also showed me an interesting WiFi finder prototype device designed as you can expect in the form of a credit card sized format. It’s called the “Wallet Fi” and it features:

  • Indicated signal strength for all 802.11b/g networks within range
  • Locate and map WiFi hot spots as you go
  • Fits in a pocket or wallet
  • No software or computer needed

Here are some pics.
