Now this isn’t a gadget per se, but it is definitely a tech toy. Since they will be turning 100 years old this summer, Alfa Romeo is turning up the heat with this aggressive futuristic concept, the Pandion.

We’re 3 days into CES 2010 and it is full of products and announcements galore. New products and technologies came out in full force, from 3d, to in vehicle tech, audio equipment, mobile devices and the thinnest televisions you will see anywhere.
So i got a lattop and I got a desktop or two, but after i took a ride Telemetria, I want a DashTop System. This is the ultimate in-dash pc, it could access everything from your favorite media to vehicle diagnostics, plus, it’s fully customizable. I think the only thing it didn’t do was drive the car. Take a spin around the block with me and check it out.
