We don’t have much info on this one, but an apparent snapshot from Microsoft has surfaced with the name Avatar Kinect displayed on it. While we don’t yet know exactly what that means, you can be pretty sure it translates to you awkwardly moving your body to play something while your avatar does the same.

However, Winrumors is claiming that there will be a separate channel for this arriving in an Xbox Live software update. Sounds plausible enough. Microsoft’s CES keynote is tomorrow, so we should find out pretty quickly.

Whether you think we need video phones in our homes or not, you have to admit they are cool. Leadtek knows this and so they have announced the US launch of the AMOR8210. It’s already pretty popular in Taiwan. Will it make waves here?

Some of the features include a cordless handset, VoIP and regular telephone support (using RJ45 and RJ11 ports), widgets like audio and video players, and even integration with other devices for surveillance and health monitoring. We think it sounds pretty nifty.

The time is right for Microsoft to make a play for the set top box market. Apple is never at CES and Google is asking its partners at CES this year to hold back while Google takes its Google TV back to the drawing board. The timing seems perfect.

And according to the Seattle Times that is just what they are doing. Looks like Microsoft is going to enter this market with a stripped-down version of Windows suited for set-top boxes and connected TVs. The software is a version of its embedded device software, overlaid with the Windows Media Center interface, with media streaming and remote-control capabilities.
