CES 2012 - Technology Heaven!

CES, the epicentre of future and todays technology.

I would like to take todays blog to write about what i like the most, technology and its future.

Gadgets, general electronics to help you in daily life and everything inbetween is based in a exhibition at CES in las vegas once a year.

General information about CES (Consumer Electronics Show):

The International CES is owned and produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the preeminent trade association promoting growth in the $186 billion U.S. consumer technology industry. CEA represents more than 2,000 corporate members involved in the design, development, manufacturing, distribution and integration of consumer electronics products. All profits from CES are reinvested into industry services, including technical training and education, industry promotion, engineering standards development, market research and legislative advocacy.

They have around 140 000+ visitors in a span of 3 days! And it keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I would like to show what I think the coolest gadgets and electronics on CES is for the moment:

Tamaggo 360-imager

The strange looking device hosts a 2-inch LCD touchscreen and a 14-Megapixel camera that combined with panamorph technology allows users to navigate, zoom and crop images once they are snapped. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support means you can pair it with your phone while a mini USB means you can connect it to your PC. There's no need for a focus and Tammago claims images can be taken from distances between "0 and infinity." 

Price around 200 Dollars.

Sony Smartwatch:

Sony is adding the Smartwatch to its range of accessories set to play nice with its Xperia smartphones. The timepiece which hosts a 1.3-inch OLED display can connect to your Android smartphone displaying texts and tweets. It also doubles as a Media Player streaming the audio from your phone to the device and then to your earholes via headphones. Sony also confirmed that you'll be able to enhance the Smartwatch further through downloadable apps which will increase its functionality.

Price around £100

Another cool andreoid watch(not from CES) is the i`m Watch:

I think this looks better, but also a bit more expensive(400 Dollars)

LG z430 super ultrabook:

With over 50 Ultrabooks appearing at CES this year, LG hopes dubbing its LG Z430 as a 'Super Ultrabook' will set them apart from the rest. What makes it so super? Well apart from its metallic looks, the 14-inch slimline laptop features a 19.9mm thin chassis which is the kind you'd expect to see on a 13-inch device. Powered by a Core i7 processor, the Z430 offers Super Speed Boot technology to make booting up quicker and storage of up to 500GB to cater for all your multimedia content needs.

Price to be announced.

Microvision PicoMagic apps.

Your Power Point struggling days could soon be over courtesy of the PicoMagic apps that project a touchscreen display on your nearest available wall space. Using a PicoP Gen 2 HD laser display engine to deliver multi-user 3D displays, you can replace an old fashioned whiteboard with a virtual interactive one. It’s also primed for gamers who want to get a little closer to the action. Wall sized Angry Birds anyone?

Price to be announced.

Samsung ES8000 LED dual-core TV

In the quest to make life even more connected, Samsung whipped the covers of its latest Smart TV – the ES8000 LED TV that brings dual-core processing powers, app multitasking, face recognition and voice control to your living room telly. Users will be able to control their TV via motion or voice and also hosts an in-built camera to support use for apps like Skype and Kinect-style fitness apps. The ES8000 also features Samsung’s AllShare Play feature which provides sharing support for smartphones, tablets, cameras and computers.
Awesome!
Price to be announced.


And of course the MOTHER of all tv`s:

LG 55-inch OLED TV

Reminding the world that all is not forgotten on the OLED front, LG unveiled 55-inch OLED TV offering that has been a long time coming. Bringing together its 4-Colour Pixel and Colour Refiner Technology and placed alongside LG's own OLED display, the company claims they have created the most natural looking screen on any TV. At 4mm thin, it is slimmer than an iPhone 4S and we eagerly await to hear when it will be on the market.
Price to be announced(not cheap!)


I could go on and on but for now this is enough. 


Hope you like this as much as me.
