<description><![CDATA[(Credit:CNET)Conan O'Brien has been at the TBS network for three months now, but the late night TV host and his show reportedly could have ended up on Microsoft'sXbox instead.In an interview with &quot;Conan&quot; executive producer Jeff Ross, video game site Gamasutra reports that that Microsoft had pitched the Conan team about bringing the show to its Xbox game console as part of a larger digital content offering.Discussions fizzled, but the news adds weight to a report by Reuters from back in November claiming that Microsoft was attempting to work out content deals with various networks to turn the Xbox into a &quot;virtual cable operator.&quot;Such a system was said to be served up as part of a paid monthly subscription, in a similar fashion to Microsoft's Xbox Live service, with users getting access to a lineup of existing TV channels. However, this latest report paints a picture of Microsoft building up its own content network that would rival these traditional TV networks. According to Ross, the Xbox deal fell through for a variety of reasons, with one of the main ones being proper offers from existing TV networks like TBS, where O'Brien eventually landed. But Ross also cited that the length and scope of the show for how it fit into the larger content model were unclear. &quot;The Xbox thing--a lot of the conversations were 'well, it's a show, but it's not a show and there are no breaks, but maybe there are breaks and it's not 60 Minutes, it's this' and nobody really knew what it was,&quot; Ross told the site. Microsoft, of course, is no stranger to TV and making content deals. The company launched MSNBC with NBC in 1996, before giving up its controlling stake of the network some nine years later. More recently, Microsoft has continued to flesh out its IPTV offerings through its Mediaroom platform, as well as serving up digital streams and purchases of movies and TV shows through itsZune Marketplace, which can be found on the Zune,Windows Phone 7, and on the Xbox 360.  <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An iPhone with a keyboard(Credit:Kent German/CNET)LAS VEGAS--With so many press conferences, meetings and product demonstrations, there's never enough time to really seeCES. Indeed, it wasn't until day two of this year's show that I was able to roam the Las Vegas Convention Center and check out the cell phone action.Naturally, I was first drawn to the booths of the big players first, but half the fun of a gadget trade show is tracking down the smaller mobile players that bring the the more unusual products to Las Vegas. So while racing between the immense booths of RIM and Verizon Wireless, I stumbled upon a company called Eyo Asia Electronic.Lining the tables in Eyo's small booth were a broad range of cell phones in almost every design imaginable. And though I'd never seen the handsets before, much less even heard of the company, all of Eyo's products were strikingly familiar.Clearly a company Eyo believes imitation is the sincerest form of flattery because all of the company's devices looked like something else. There wereiPhone clones--one of which looked like the Duet W002 that we reviewed last year--BlackBerry doppelgangers, and almost identical twins for handsets like the T-Mobile G1, the Samsung Flight, Sony Ericsson Satio and W995.Though somewhat fascinating, it was also rather creepy. It's one thing to jump on to a design trend, but quite another to have no ideas of your own. Perhaps you'd disagree, so I invite you to check out the look-alikes for yourself.Look-alike phones from Eyo Asia (photos) <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
