It’s always a shame we don’t have more time to play with every gadget at monstrous trade shows, and that goes double for cameras. So while we can’t give you more in-depth discussion on the image and video quality, we will say that Samsung’s NX11′s inclusion of the i-Function lens is a decided victory. For those who don’t know, it’s a special lens with a ring and i-Fn button you can use to manually adjust various settings (exposure, ISO, shutter speed, etc.), and it works like a charm. Looking at pictures of a picture-taking device is some form of awesome, right? Right.

The Motorola Atrix is definitely one of the more impressive devices to launch at CES this year, but we’ve been wondering how stable that laptop dock is — if the phone is prone to falling out it’s really not much use at all. Well, worry no more — we just watched a Moto rep boot up Need For Speed: Shift while docked up, and in addition to playing the game normally, he flipped the whole rig all the way over to show off how tightly the phone is docked. Video below.

We stumbled upon Fortrend here at CES expecting to find their existing Magic MousePad and were shocked to discover something else entirely: a new and improved Magic MousePad! You’ll still get the same multitouch trackpad / keypad combo as before, but it now comes with a “high texture” glass surface, and “friendlier” design available in a range of colors. We’re sure you’ll agree those changes make all the difference.

50 Cent has a tendency to do things big, so it makes sense that he’d use CES as a platform to launch his new line of headphones in collaboration with Sleek Audio. Luckily for us, he’s been hanging out in the back of a Gunnar Optiks RV (he’s an investor) that just so happens to be parked right next to the Engadget Trailer. 50′s been making the rounds with the press here shopping his latest offerings, but we still jumped at the chance to shoot the breeze with a man who’s been shot nine times — and he turns out to be a pretty nice guy. Get a look into the mind of 50 Cent in our interview after the break, including information on 50′s secret “batphone” — for the ladies only, of course.
